Guardian Debates! Live TV and action if you're in attendance!

[ Everyone's TVs will flicker on and to the Genessia News Channel for a Live Special Report. The Show Host pops out from beneath the podium, a cool tenor voice coming straight from him as he addresses the camera. ]

Well heeeeello there everyone! We interrupt your day for a very special report! It's your favorite host with news about the City Guardian Election, live, despite the weather folks! It turns out electronics don't work so well in the freezing cold, so we've had to move our Guardian's debate to warmer pastures! Thank you to our sponsor, Hot Diggity! Toast your houses so warm this winter you'll think you're bread. Though let's hope a little chill won't freeze out any of the candidates, ha ha ha! Or should I say ho ho ho?

[ There's a brief pause before he swivels to a second camera and the camera view zooms in on his face as if he didn't just make the lamest news pun. ]

We are broadcasting live from right here in Genessia City. Many folks are in attendance, including our very own GCPD who are here to monitor and keep the peace. Let's begin the live debate-slash-Q&A you've all been waiting for. Here's how it works: You all come up with questions to ask each of the Guardians, and each Guardian will have the opportunity to answer it to help you decide which of your candidates is the right one for your city. You can submit your questions via text to the CPU and it will beam them to our stage, or if you're here in the audience, head on up to the podium and ask in person! Now to introduce our candidates.

Attleton puts the A+ in Guardianship, but will it be return Guardian Cassian Andor? Or will Chara or Cecil Palmer talk up a storm in the citizen's hearts?

Everglade as always returns with two beautiful ladies, the gorgeous and charitable returning Guardian Grell Sutcliff and a new gem, Emerald Sustrai! Who will shine harder in this debate?!

Fayren keeps its tradition of having the largest number of candidates with four all-stars! Welcome Alexstrasza, Qubine, Winter Schnee, and current acting Guardian Mavis Vermillion! A goddess, a dragon, an ice queen, and a fairy-esque guild-leader. What a variety!

Nova City's coming in hot! Check it out, Mercury Black and Garrus Vakarian trying to stay in office with a dual ticket! Current Deputy Guardian Grievous saying: It's my turn, boys! And a newcomer from a new corner, Gale Reinhard, ready to rock Nova City all night long!

Let's not forget the heart of our cities, the hostess with the mostest, Genessia City! It's the mayor-punching expert, X-Ray and our long-term favorite returning Guardian David Haller!

Let's get started folks! Get out of the showers and into the town hall for this live debate, starting in 30 minutes! You've still got time to pop in, let's go, and don't forget to cast your votes this Tuesday, December 26th at the polls!

{ OOC NOTE: Anyone can reply to this post with a question they want to ask the potential City Guardians. Each City Guardian candidate is tasked with answering any question on this post. No candidate is required to, but lack of participation may affect public opinion of the candidate! Lack of any activity during the election season will disqualify your candidate, however.

On December 26th, the polls will officially go up and each character will be afforded one vote for each city. So if you play 5 characters, you will need to submit 5 IC vote choices; if you only play 1, then only that character will vote. This means you as the player are voting on your character's behalf because it's going to be in the OOC comm just so that we can include instructions. There will be further information at that time as well as a link to a "booklet" with candidate information. For now though, the debate is here! }

I have my debate strategy, you have yours. You're not even running against me, shut up.

[Asking Grell to shut up is like asking her to not be dead.]

Were you not listening to the questions earlier? It doesn't matter if I'm running against you or not, City Guardians will have to work together! Not only that, but...your debate strategy sucks. If all you can do is punch and shoot laser beams, and maybe kick people, then you can be easily be thwarted.

You haven't proven you can do much else beyond that, so why should anyone vote for you? What can you do that doesn't involve physical and verbal attacks?

[The crowd needs to know!]

Why should people vote for me? Because I'm the realest motherfucker on this stage! All I hear is nice talk and politics, but when push comes to shove it's all bullshit! People are gonna say whatever they want now to get themselves into office, then do whatever they really want to when they're elected! Screw that noise! At least I'm honest about who I am!

Maybe I'm not the best at speeches or fancy words, but when people are in trouble and need my help I'll do anything it takes to save their asses. That's me! That's what being X-Ray is all about!

[His answer is what everyone has probably been waiting to hear up until now. Grell just gives him a smirk and nod. She has nothing for retort to that, because it's a pretty good answer to explaining his presence here.

THAT'S how you get her to shut up.]

If I may, I do believe that there is merit in what he says. My world has been embroiled in war for thousands of years because of the politics of various factions, back room deals and manipulative lies.

I do not pretend to accuse anyone of indulging in such practices here, but there is a lot to be said about transparency. If nothing else, his style shows how passionate he is about protecting his city, albeit in a slightly unorthodox way.

[Qubine has. So much to say on this subject. But he has to be careful of what he says. After all, no one wants to vote for a candidate who questions the whole system. While he certainly feels that X-Ray isn't really trying to win, he could agree on the whole deceptiveness of politics in general.]

On the other hand, my world is embroiled in war because of the lack of such a system. In my world, nature rules, and all manner of beasts will either kill what they can eat, or what poses a threat to them. There's no justice system, no laws, and no rights to protect any of us. It's every beast for themselves.

But... no one's saying there shouldn't be laws and stuff. Like, murder is super illegal. I was just saying that people in politics are usually two-faced con artists.

Yeah, she gets it! Keep everything out in the open!
