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 can't.. say it's just what I've always done, like a lot of people. I can't say that it's because I like people or I want to protect them or it's in my blood, nothing like that. I'm not going to say my reason isn't selfish, either. It is.
[ She's stalling. Emerald swallows for a moment, looking to the side before making an annoyed face. ]
Okay, I said I wasn't going to knowingly lie or play politics. [ That was more directed at herself than anything. ]
Some of you saw me during that last freak incident, where everyone was different. My memories were changed then based on whether I said yes or no to a single question, and that version said no. Some of you were proud of that version of me, thought it was a better choice or that I was braver to do it, but the real reason I made that decision for that version of myself was that the devil I knew was better than the devil I didn't. I stayed the same, years after, even after dying in that version of my world, and then I stayed the same here in that version. I thought about it here and... even though I said yes to that question and my life changed drastically at the time, when circumstances changed again I wasn't moving forward. Everyone around me was, and I was angry with them for leaving me behind. Even if they kept me around, I was getting left behind, and it made me angry. But after those memories, I realized... I wasn't stepping forward to follow, it wasn't their fault. So even if a lot of people suck really badly, and I don't have selfless goody two-shoes answers for everything, I want to do the one thing that I never had, and maybe I'll change along with it.
[ Okay, she literally is incapable of leaving that on something sentimental so-- ]
Plus, I'm a really good fighter. Merc and my team beat basically the "chosen one" equivalent back home, so that might as well go toward something useful instead of me trying things aimlessly.
