Let's settle this once and for all. Sun Wukong was a thief. However, he is also a good person and has taken that know-how and turned it into a viable business in Fayren and can now support himself with that. He's more mature than he once was even if he's still a dumb teenage boy sometimes and he still needs to apologize to Satsuki Kiryuin for physically pointing a weapon at her at a peaceful gathering as well as drudging up the past about a situation she clearly developed from and worked to improve upon.

Satsuki Kiryuin needs to apologize to Sun for treating him with disrespect regardless of whether it was rooted in his own stupidity at the time or of a discriminatory nature instead of explaining the matter he was mad about like a mature adult. She also needs to apologize to the public for using his accusations- which, by the way, were made without consulting me first and I would've told him to speak to Satsuki privately with a mediator present- to waste the public's time trying to explain how she deserves redemption for her actions but he doesn't, despite that they've both come a long way from the people they once were.

I'd personally like to apologize to everyone who's had to watch either side of this bickering. Vote for who you think would be a better leader and protector of this city, not who can dig up the oldest, most out-of-date information possible about someone who isn't even a candidate.

Now: Does anyone have any questions about what any of the candidates are actually bringing to the table?

If they would spend as much energy as they do arguing on working together to accomplish something, I suspect we wouldn't have half the population end up in the hospital every time we have an emergency.

It is unsurprising. The position of Guardian has become more than simply a role in protecting the public. It has become revered, a position of leadership in all but name.

Humans crave that kind of power. They always have.

A position only gains power when others give it power. People want to give someone that power, otherwise the position would be just the same as everyone else here wanting to protect the people they care about. The reality is, without leadership, without someone to make harder decisions, hard decisions don't get made.

In that, you are correct. About the necessity of leadership. I just wish the process wasn't treated as a vanity project.

That's a difficult wish considering that it's nearly impossible to get votes if people don't like you and people don't like people they don't know good things about.

Perhaps I just dislike politics in general.

If you have an alternative, I'm sure people would love to hear suggestions that still gave them a choice.

After Gilgamesh's 'performance,' perhaps it is a necessary evil in this world. The concept of democracy is a rare one, in my world. And from what I have seen, it is preferable to the system the Magic Council has in Ishgar.

{ He won't comment on Alvarez. More than half of the time he isn't around to deal with it, anyway, even if the people there do love them. Most of the time, however, the day-to-day dealings in the Empire are the Ministry's problem, or the Spriggan Twelve's. }
