What do you do to get something done in a city?

It's not like I was ever aiming to be a politician, but even I know something like... citizens are supposed to be able to... go to town meetings and vote and "be heard". It was always a little too democratic for my taste, honestly.But if the deities or whoever runs this place would maybe do a little

Araragi-kun, I'm waiting.

[She'll explain what it is she's waiting for after she confuses you]

[stapletrauma]

For... ?

[Hopefuly not him getting within five feet WHY ISN'T IT WORKING????]

[unweighty]

For--

[Steps closer. She wants to test something~]

--something nice. From you. Flowers, chocolates- I don't really need those things, but every once in a while a girl would like some sort of show of appreciation, don't you think? Perhaps not quite like in the movies, only an inexperienced, uncreative novice would resort to something so cliche, but-

[So far- he's not being pushed backwards. But he's watching her approach a bit warily. A bit... oddly. There's something he really doesn't like, about being pushed away even like this.]

- But if I get them now, you'll say it's only because you reminded me.

[Good point- right? Right?]

[aettir]

'ch, making us happy probably isn't the point. Bet it's the opposite of the point.

I think it must be really hard to run a city. Sure you can make people miserable if you want, but you cant make them TOO miserable or you have a rebellion on your hands. ... Theoretically.

But this is just borderline.

They're all-powerful entities with a giant barrier on their side, it'd have to be a hell of a rebellion!

[aettir]

The last one was just Truth or Dare, right? That wasn't too bad...

I'd be all in favour for introducing some sort of legal system to this place, but the deities certainly don't seem to keen on it.

[stapletrauma]

Have they done things to sabotage efforts before?

[heelsandlaw]

From what I've heard, there used to be elected Wardens and with them a legal system at least with regard to criminal law. The Deities apparently destroyed the prison building that the elected Wardens were responsible for, killing everyone still inside.

That was before I got here, so I'm not sure on the details, but I'd say that counts.

[stapletrauma]

That sounds almost like terrorism.

- Except if the deities are the rulers, I suppose it's more like... a government sponsored hit.
