So. Elections. [ He's hanging out in his apartment, which looks a little dingy, but at least it's clean! ] I fucking love elections.

A special election at that. [ His lip quirks in a half-grin. ] That's pretty nice news to hear. It's an opportunity to make some big changes, at the very least. So who's running? [ and he holds his hands up in front of the camera in a placating gesture. ] Not that I'm scoping for competition, or anything like that! I'm honestly curious to know who's eyeing the spot. [ He pauses.] Wow, that does sound disengenous, doesn't it?

I'm offering help, actually. Not free, but if you're running for office, you would have enough money for a campaign consultant. [ He cringes slightly ] At least I would hope so.

If nobody is, well. [ A shrug. ] That would be quite the shame, wouldn't it?

[ oh look its that guy she accidentally sexted that one time ]

I wonder if a lot of the people brought in here actually have the credibility to run.

permavoice!

[viced]

[ Awkward. ]

Well, I don't think there's any specific "criteria" that makes someone able to run, but that's just me. If Jesse Ventura can be governor, anyone could be a Newcomer representative, I think.

[jackpots]

[ a beat ]

Jesse Ventura?

[doeswhathewants]

What elections? This sounds promising.

[viced]

It was on the news? [ Oh it's Loki, he's hesitant. ]

You don't read the news?

[doeswhathewants]

Not really. The news is quite biased, here. Against Newcomers, I mean.

[That reaction. You and all of Asgard.]

What is being elected?

[harriedosborn]

Elections. [ Dead eyes. ] What's "special" about it?

video

[viced]

You mean other than it's a position for people like us, and it's out of the normal election circulation? Absolutely nothing.

[harriedosborn]

Um, people like us? That's not that special. That's just not, you know -- like xenophobic or whatever.

[axemeaquestion]

Well, shit, Mitchell. If that's ingenous, then I don't know what is anymore. [GOOD JOKE. Teasing. Whatever. Anyway.]

Seriously, though. I hope someone else starts running. I don't like politics but when you work for the news you gotta suck it up.

voice;

[viced]

And just think of all the exclusives you could get. [ S n e r k ]

I'm sure that's a hell of a prospect, am I right?

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

[SNRK back.] No, you're right, it is. And I'm all for it, it's a good opportunity, it's just not the ONLY thing to report about in a city like this. Thank god.

Even. If the latter's usually something about werewolves or vampires or ghosts or something.

UH ACTION SO THERE

[bringerofwar]

Jesus, are you going to jack off on the Network? [HE HAS NEVER SEEN MITCH SO ENTHUSIASTIC]

heh what's up action tag

[viced]

Fuck! [ He jumps a little bit. ] I'm not going to jack off, dickhead!

B) aw yeah all the action in the world

[bringerofwar]

[Bemused pause. God will Mitch ever not be hilarious?] I don't fucking buy it. You only swore once in that whole thing.

[pawnofrassilon]

'Consultant', hmmm?

voice

[viced]

That's what I was thinking.

[video]

[rapturescreed]

A campaign consultant. [Nods.] Before you start offering your services, wouldn't it be better to learn more about the people running?

[video]

[viced]

I think that was kind of the fucking plan here.

[video]

[notadisneygirl]

More elections? Can you even run or vote if you're not a citizen of the port?

[video]

[viced]

Hell if I know! I think that's under Townsend's decree, not mine!

[enigmaestro]

Interesting priorities. [He sounds so smug.] So uplifting.

[viced]

Uplifting, huh? Well, I can't say I don't try.

voice; private||very difficult to hack

[discretion]

[You make recognize the voice of the young Frenchman as the personal assistant adviser to one Raul Creed. You know - the one who scoped you out a little.]

What services do you perform as a campaign manager, and how much do you charge?

Voice; sliding this one over to complete encryptions

[viced]

NV, PLEASE DON'T LET ANYONE IN ON THE CONVERSATION.

Thinking about running, are you? I'm not exactly a seasoned campaign manager, but I'd say I have a pretty firm grasp on how to not only win an election, but to do it without stooping to a lower level. [ There's a muffled sound, of his finger tapping lightly against his desk. ]

That being said, I'm not going to be able to stand you up against David Axelrod from the get go, but I think by the end, you'd be pleased with results. I'm not interested in talking price quite yet,but a question, if I may?
