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?

And what sort of changes do you plan to make?

As a consultant for a campaign? None. That's generally not their job. [ Artful dodging, ahoy! ]

[pawnofrassilon]

Still. You'd have to align yourself with someone. Whisper into that someone's ear. Elevate him to greatness.

This is an office of newcomer affairs, not the fucking president of the united states, you know.

[Non-committal noise]

You can always move up in the world.

[viced]

[ He snorts lightly. ]

Fair enough. I suppose you can move up eventually, although that position seems a bit unattainable from this hidden part of the world, doesn't it?

voice

[pawnofrassilon]

You'd be surprised what's attainable.

But I'm not the one who mentioned 'that position', am I?
