[The video clicks on, and there’s Jacques, back straight and classy as ever in his new suit, hands clasped behind his back..]

Good Evening.

As you may have heard, I have recently stepped down from pursuing the Schnee Company at my daughter’s request and allowed it to be passed on to my son, Whitley. I hope that you’ll treat him with the same respect and admiration you all showed for Weiss.

Now, I know there were some misgivings about my behavior when I first arrived, and I am truly sorry for the way I acted. I was very stressed and my actions were naive, immature, and in only my own interests instead of anyone else’s. I apologize and hope that you’ll look past that awful first impression. I would like to see this world prosper, and I believe I have found a way.

[He plasters on the most politician smile you can imagine here.]

I have elected to run for the Guardian position in Attleton. I firmly believe that I can implement change that is beneficial to everyone, not only in Attleton but even to Genessia as a whole to some extent. I encourage everyone to take a look at my application and reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you for your time, and remember to vote for Schnee, the finest of them all.

[ Deep breath, Weiss.

If you ruin this for her, Jacques... ]

No.

JACQUES.

[Jaune is pale, his eyes wide and his voice an angry hiss. He doesn't care if Jacques wants to be Guardian of Attleton if that means he'll stay out of Weiss's life. He doesn't particularly care about his goals.

It's the names he included on the Deputies list that leave him livid and he yells over the video, his voice bordering on shrill.]

I did not sign up for this. I work for Weiss Schnee, and I'm perfectly happy where I am, so if you could remove my name from your application, I would appreciate it.

Please.

Well, hey! I may have a reason to vote in the elections this time around!

[HEY JACQUES IT'S YOUR FAVORITE PERSON IN THE BUTTERFLY MASK.]

Soooo how much of this did you bullshit?

Nope.

[Hold on a second. Karla looks at the application, and has to make sure she's reading the potential deputies properly. On one hand, she's kind of flattered. On the other...]

Oh, um...I'm flattered that you would consider me as a potential deputy. I may consider it if David doesn't win Genessia City.

[Because she'd much rather stick with him.]

[He has questions as he looks at this application.]

A... A v-vetting system...

[He paused, tilting his head as he parsed out the words slowly.]

I-Is that to take care of the pokemon?

[To his credit, Dorian has actually looked over this application. Schnee reminded him of the Magisters, and the Magisterium in general, though, a destination he was not, himself, looking forward to.

He was immediately suspicious of the silver tongue, for instance. It was a tool used by tyrants, and one he was very familiar with.]

I suppose it also speaks to your credit that you've yet to be here a month, and have gleaned such a keen and thorough understanding of the government of the realm that you feel you can become a part of it. I mean, to master such a turbulent political environment in so short a time! Why, what other candidate could we hope to elect?

Father, after reviewing your.. application, I feel like I need to refresh your memory that City Guardianship is not a government profession, it's a job to protect people. You wouldn't actually have any influence over most of the things you listed.

[ She's just. Saying. ]

It intrigues me to notice that nearly every new candidate has chosen this medicine vs. magic issue to make part of their platform, when to my knowledge the Guardian position has no power to make such a change. Is everyone perhaps mistaking this for some sort of political position, as opposed to the very real, very literal definition of its office?

Also, I like how you've 'stepped down' from the company your daughter's friends and allies pretty much told you you would never touch so long as they were able to stop you. Apparently being told bluntly what would happen has not been enough to dissuade you from making a complete ass of yourself - not that I expected it to. I wash my hands of all attempts at helping someone who clearly is not willing to accept that help.

Oh. And I see you have found yourself a new suit. How much did that set back your children's bank accounts?

Everyone pretty much stated what I was going to say, so I'll refrain.

[But he was very much aware of how much of a pain in the ass that could be. He had to clean up one Guardian who thought to do things a mayor would do.]

But you know if you reaaallly wanted that type of job, running for mayor what... whatever it is for the city would be a good idea.

[He's helping in his own way.]

So you are Weiss Schnee's father?

[He's heard some things about this, in passing. He'd missed the bulk of the spectacular arrival, being otherwise occupied at the time.]

I must advise you that Cassian Andor will likely be otherwise occupied.

[He may fight over this.]

Apologies are nice but they can mean many different things. You should really find a way to show people that you not only understand but that you are the person you say you are.

I don't see much evidence to support this.

[oohhh so this shithead is weiss's father. gotcha, all makes sense now, and she can completely understand why weiss seemed to be straining herself when talking about her family. look, minatsuki doesn't care about any of this, at all, not one bit. however, if she did care... well, then she would find this guy to be entirely creepy and probably a bad candidate for guardianship or whatever.

but again, she doesn't care.]

So, I guess if you're running and all I had better ask you some questions. Are you a strong individual? 'Cause what I gathered from this place is that guardians had better damn well be powerful if they wanna keep everyone safe.

I'm a convicted felon back home, what can you do to keep someone like me protected?

Lastly, if you're introducing modern medicine practices, does that mean Viagra for the guys like you with shriveled dicks that can't get it up? Hey I'm just asking for the older groups here, y'know.

I gotta say; I'd be willing to take you more seriously if you didn't look like some kind of fluffy ice-cream; does that run in the family?

[He doesn't sound popular, though, given the public responses so far. It won't stop this young girl from being her sweet, curious self.]

Excuse me, Sir. If I may ask... Why do you want to run for guardianship?

Why is Cassians Andor in that list?

[No, sorry Jaqcues, Kay doesn't care about anything else. His priorities are a bit skewed.]
