[Valvatorez looms dramatically atop City Hall. For those in the area, his dramatic speech is audible from the streets. For the rest of you, a video feed is also available.]

Hear me, exiles of Sirocco!

I have studied in the ways of your people, and I will follow them myself. Thusly, my presidency will be decided not by an evilection, but by an election!



I, Presidential Candidate Valvatorez, am joining this presidential race as the sole representative of the Hades Party. Once elected, I shall unify the exiled wanderers of Sirocco towards greater purpose, total memory recall, and ultimately the uncovering of the Truth!



Great expeditions shall be made to forge deeper into the dark country beyond the city, to uncover secrets and tame the lands beyond our borders! Volunteers will be organized from the strong to liberate Anemoi and distribute them amongst the weak! If necessary, I shall oppose the very Gods themselves in my quest for freedom, truth and justice!



So vote for me, if you desire a world no longer ruled by ignorance. If you oppose my views, then I will welcome you as a rival electoral candidate! Come at me, brothers!

Is... is there even an election going ON?

[arcadian_vampire]

If not now, then when?

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

When... the... official election cycle starts?

[arcadian_vampire]

Naive! The people are without a leader. Leadership cannot wait for some unspoken, arbitrary cycle! The election begins now!

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

I'm PRETTY sure there IS a leader, you know. Have you actually looked into this?

[arcadian_vampire]

Are you referring to the Mayor? He presides over Sirocco as a city, but cares little for our greater concerns. We, the exiles, must have a leader of our own!

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Oh MUST we? Come on, man, what do we need something like that for?

[arcadian_vampire]

Are you content, then, to spend the rest of your life wandering a lone city surrounded by a hostile world?

Dear god, he's really serious about this.

I'm curious. If you're a candidate, then who's running the election?

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Well, no, but I don't really see why --

[arcadian_vampire]

Then we are agreed!

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

But --

[arcadian_vampire]

I shall expect your vote when the time comes. If not, I shall expect your opposition in the election shortly.

[ Laughing so hard over here. ]

[arcadian_vampire]

Laugh now, for there will be much work to do in the near future.

[stinglikeabat]

You sound like the best man for the job! How do I vote?

[arcadian_vampire]

There will be a time for that once the debates have concluded.

[stinglikeabat]

Debates? Who else is running?

[sinofwrath]

Do you really think that you can change something here?

[arcadian_vampire]

So far, as far as I'm aware, nobody... which will make them quite easy.

[arcadian_vampire]

What reason do you have to believe I can't?

[sinofwrath]

It's quite obvious if you ask me!

[arcadian_vampire]

My all means, do tell.

[sinofwrath]

This place doesn't need a ruler. It's just annoying in the end.

[alittleblackmagic]

I'll vote for you 'cause you have parties! And it's a cool sounding party, too.

Why're you throwing parties again?

[press_b_to_run]

One question.

[arcadian_vampire]

Ask away, lad.

[arcadian_vampire]

If ever wish to party secure in your memories, then your vote is well-placed!

[press_b_to_run]

How do you expect to win when the majority of us who have lost our memories are too young to legally vote?

[arcadian_vampire]

By the law of what nation?

[alittleblackmagic]

I'm not sure about all that stuff with the gods, though. Are you really strong enough for that? There's no point voting if you're just gonna get struck by lightning or something.

[press_b_to_run]

Well, I know that back home children and young teens weren't allowed to vote. And I'm willing to bet that the same holds true for here and lots of other places too.

[arcadian_vampire]

Put aside the world you once knew. This is the founding of a new government!
