[
Action: Genessia, backdated to Friday]
[Midday, Grell stares into a clothing store, seemingly mesmerized with the mannequins and their attire for the day. But if anyone looks closer, they could tell that she's not really looking at them. She's looking at her own reflection in confusion.]
...where is it... [She touches her neck with her fingers, where
her mark (ooc: #2) of the crew she belongs to is.] Was it real?
[Talking to herself, mostly, but anyone could hear. Just...don't startle her.]
[
Video, present day]
[As the sun begins its descent, Grell sits on the steps to the sheriff's office. There is enough light to do a video, luckily. Sitting at the top of the stairs is
her dog, Copper, who seems content with watching the scenery.]
As
most of you know, City Guardian elections are approaching, and while I
do plan to run again, there are a few things I'd like to
state. The reason I'm bringing them up
now is because they will be something I'll strive for, whether I'm elected or
not.
First, the appointment for Deputy Guardians in Everglade will
not fall upon whomever gets elected City Guardian, but will be
voted upon. I believe it is
imperative for City Guardians to set an example that-- [Grell begins counting on her fingers] they can work with
anyone, that they will allow the
citizens to choose who works
closely with the elected Guardian, and that they accept that those
elected deputies will act as a check against the Guardian's judgement.
Those that
wish to run must be of adult age, have
no criminal record in the city they're running in, and must not have criminal offenses in more than
two cities. Other stipulations may
apply, but those are the most important.
Second, and this is just an
idea that popped up not long ago, I
strongly believe that those who lose their lives here should have at least
one session of psychiatric counseling. Most will be
opposed to it, as it is quite personal to talk to a stranger about your
feelings, but there are those who might see this as a
benefit they didn't believe they needed, and coming back from a traumatic experience weighs
heavily on the mind.
Of course, opting out
after the first session would be at the person's discretion.
[She sighs and then Copper pushes at her shoulder with a paw.]
Fine, fine, let's walk. [The feed ends there.]
[
Private Voice to Marco]
I need to speak to you
soon.
[
Private Voice to Namur]
I remember everything. [And that's all the message she leaves.]
