Sixteenth Reel: Polling the Masses [Video]

[redcinemareel]

[The video comes on, and it's Grell, sitting in an office like space for a change with red walls and soft lighting. It shows her black desk, which is surprisingly organized despite the piles of paper stacked on it. Each pile was neat, which one side being stacked high, while the other much lower. A copy of the latest edition of the newspaper is also on her desk, opened to a certain article that has her attention.]

Good evening. Here in Everglade, voting will soon commence on an important law, which, strangely enough, is up for debate. The Indecent Exposure law. It's something that isn't enforced here, and there haven't been many instances of trouble regarding it, because it isn't a law. Yet.

[Grell gives pause to tap her chin in thought, looking to the side.]

I suppose by bringing it to light that they may increase... [OOPS]

[Waves a hand in a gentle, haphazard way.] Nevertheless, while the vote is limited to Everglade residents, it would be interesting to know your views on this issue. There is a Pro-Natural and Pro-Clothes movement slowly gaining foot, something of a sight for me to see. No one from my time period would ever show an ankle! [Thinking back on it makes her shake her head a bit in amusement.] Except one...

[Very much talking about Ronald.]

I'm very much Pro-Clothes, not because I run a lingerie store, but because I don't want to see anyone's nasty bits but my husband's. [Shrugs] Simple.

[She reaches over to turn off the feed, but pulls back suddenly.] Oh! And while I have your attention, what are we to do, exactly with these...Pokemon? They have extraordinary abilities, yet they're rather cute. Do people keep them as pets or battle companions, or both?

[Okay, now she's turning off the feed.]

[She switches to Private Video for the next part.]

This may be too little, too late, but are you well? We've heard what happened to you, and we're investigating the incident.

[private 'til/if stated otherwise]

[black_black_heart]

You've heard a what, now? You'll have to be specific, I get up to a lot of trouble.

[ A. Lot. ]

And who's 'we'?

[ Garrus, did you do a stupid--! ]

[redcinemareel]

Don't we all.

[She hasn't gotten into much trouble, only because it looks bad if a guardian gets in trouble...]

We, as in us guardians, are aware that you were poisoned.

[black_black_heart]

Is that so. And you're... investigating... the incident.

[ Tannusen actually pinches the bridge of his nose for a moment, above the glasses. ]

That bloody...

[ Then he drops his hand, and smiles. Uh. Oh. ]

Stay tuned to the network, I'm about to make things quite a bit clearer for everyone.

[redcinemareel]

[All she can do is raise an eyebrow at the ominous statement.]

I certainly will.

[It's obvious that he's fine after all.]

I'm a real circus performer; accept no shitty, mind-controlling Attleton substitute.
