005 | Attleton Campaign Announcement 2017

[ VIDEO ]

[ Dorothy appears to be standing outside, on one of the sleepy little shopping district streets in Attleton.

She stares at the camera, and then says - utterly serious, completely deadpan: ]

Vote Cassian Andor for Guardian.



His application isn't a joke.


[ And then the video ends. ]

I didn't think it was a joke.

[Rapunzel thought it would have been an odd joke regardless.]

I'm already going to vote for him anyway. I've never actually done it before, so it will be fun.

One of them is a child. The other one is a radio show host.

[ Her voice is just slightly cool, but it's not directed at Rapunzel. ]

It seems they're not taking this seriously.

Offering "free pizza".

[ivegotadream]

I mean pizza is nice it depends on what they are offering in terms of...What the job actually is, but I guess it does sound a little silly in those simple terms.

[pianola]

I suppose they'll both state what they offer in the debates.

I do not have high expectations.

[ Sorry, she's not someone who shares your optimism right now. ]

video;

[ivegotadream]

I've never seen a debate before, so I'll be looking forward to it.

Ey Dorothy, hi!

My boyfriend killed his boyfriend, do you think voting for him would count as an apology?

[ Video ]

[pianola]

[ Dorothy just.

Stares.

At the screen.

Finally she says: ] ... If that's true.

It isn't your fault.

[ Video ]

[mother_of_monsters]

[Dray's ear lowers, that is some serious intense stare there, Dorothy.] It's true.

Maybe not but I feel bad for him. Jaune didn't want to hurt anybody, he was...not himself.

[ Video ]

[pianola]

I know.

[ That's what made things so complicated for Dorothy now. She was angry, but there was no productive way to direct that anger.

Not to mention, she wasn't used to experiencing the emotion at all. ]

Many people changed last week, became very different.

From what Kaytwo had said, this man was one of them.

[ Video ]

[mother_of_monsters]

I know it would be easier for a lot of people if that wasn't the case if they had someone real to blame. But...this place is odd and its magic is nothing like the one in my world.

[It's a very frustrating state of being, Dray can relate.]

He's usually very sweet and fun. I think Jaune and K2SO were even friends.

[ Video ]

[pianola]

... Memories and reality seemed changeable, where I am from.

It's not unfamiliar.

But it's still alarming.

[ Video ]

[mother_of_monsters]

Such thing can happen there? Is it caused by magic too?

Did that ever happen to you?

[ Video ]

[initia_nova]

Hello, Dorothy.

Mr. Andor is one of the few people who seems to take this elections seriously. Are you his campaign manager?

[ Video ]

[pianola]

... No.

[ Her eyes widen a bit. She didn't - hadn't meant - ]

... I was speaking as a concerned citizen.

[ It's hard to tell when an android is worried about being awkward and messing things up, but. That's exactly what she is right now. ]

[Video ]

[initia_nova]

Ah, my mistake.

[He can tell she is surprised Scott will give her a few seconds to compose herself.]

Maybe you should consider it. That passion is very convincing.

[He's not joking, at that.]

[Video ]

[pianola]

... I don't know.

[ Passion? That's not a word people usually use when talking about anything she does. For a moment, she wonders if he's teasing him.

But, then she remembers. Scott knows someone who's like her. In his own world. She reconsiders. He might be sincere? ]

... I'll think about it.

[Video ]

[initia_nova]

That's fine. It's just an idea to consider.

[Yup, Dorothy reminds him of Viv. He would never make fun of any of them.]

You're very level headed, you could run for guardian yourself one day if you wanted i'm sure.

[Video ]

[pianola]

...

[ And she will consider it, Scott. ]

I don't believe I'd make a good Guardian.

I also don't want the position.

[ Deputy Guardian was another matter. ]

[Video ]

[initia_nova]

[Good!]

I think you could be a great one but if you really aren't interested, I can't blame you. [And he won't press the issue.]

This next election is going to be interesting, specially for Attleton.

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

He is clearly the best man for the job.

[Video]

[pianola]

Thank you.

I saw you are running for Nova City.

[ She doesn't know they share a world. ]

You plan to work with Cassian Andor and his deputies, should you both be elected?

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

Of course. We have worked together even prior to him becoming a Guardian.

[There was mutual respect there.]

[Video]

[pianola]

I'm glad to hear that.

I look forward to seeing you in the debates.

I am very interested to hearing what you have to say.

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

I am looking forward to it.

[He certainly wants to prove himself to be the best candidate and is taking the entire thing very seriously.]

[Video]

[pianola]

[ And she appreciates someone taking this seriously. For once. ]

Good luck.
