I'd like to gently remind all the City Guardian candidates that this is not the position of a ruler, nor a legislator, nor medical professional. This is a job to protect people. A job to protect them not only physically, but also protect their rights and way of life. Your personal opinion about their beliefs doesn't matter, and you certainly don't have legislative capabilities outside of your role in the criminal justice system.

That said, it sounds like there are plenty of great candidates who do understand what the actual job is, and I look forward to a fair and positive competition against Captain Kirk and anyone else who should choose to run for Nova City.

Have you ever had an ice sphere cocktail?

private to gale and cassian;
Would one or both of you mind being substitute Guardians for some time on Saturday? I'd like to treat my deputies to a team-building trip but I also don't want to leave the city unprotected.

private to nova deputies;
We're going to the beach this Saturday. It's a mandatory team-building exercise trip. If you need waterproofing spray for any parts, I found some at a local store. It turns out plenty of cyborgs enjoy swimming. I will make certain we have someone to hold down the fort and keep us posted if disaster strikes and we have to rush back, and we'll be in one of our own subarchways so if something does happen, we can make it back somewhat quickly.

Just to play Devil's Advocate for the moment - I really have no say in the matter - but wouldn't the vague umbrella of "protection" entail legislative, rulers, and medical professionals? It's simply a matter of what kind of protection wouldn't you say?

[whiteas]

No, it wouldn't. Have none of you actually read the job description? Telling people that they shouldn't be using magic for medical care is not our job. Law enforcement is just that- it exists to enforce the law, not make it up. There are literally other jobs for that and if someone wants to run for mayor, that's what they should do.

And just so we're clear, I'm not trying to discredit my opponent or anything with this. From what I know about the Captain so far, he's an entirely sane candidate who actually understands what the job is.

[scarlet_devil]

Mind your own business, girl.

[whiteas]

As a citizen of this place, it is my business. What isn't a City Guardian's business is restricting or imposing religion. Or are you running for Guardian of a city you haven't even bothered to learn the history of?

[captain_by_the_book]

I can do that? [ It's just a little surprising. ] Of course. I'd like to speak to you beforehand, though, and have you explain to me what you're expecting me to do.

Private

[whiteas]

Of course. I saw you were running for City Guardian and while I do get along with Blaze and like him, you did make some fair points that I'm full in support of. It can't hurt to have a little practice if you're capable. I can pay you out of my pocket for the day if you'd like to be compensated.

[ So far she's fine with both Blaze and Cassian, so she's not worried about Attleton. Her father is going to have to do a lot more than ride on her name to convince people to vote for him. ]

[orlokbutterfly]

[Wait, did he hear that right? Did he just get offered by Weiss to be temporarily left in charge of protecting the city? He's flattered, for sure, but wow that's unexpected. That must mean she's got the confidence in him to not screw everything up without her watch for a while!]

I'd be happy to help you out. We talkin' just for a few hours or we talkin' most of the day?

[whiteas]

[ Listen, Gale may be annoying at times. But she's lived in a small room with Ruby and Yang before. She knows not to confuse her wanting to yell because he made a dumb joke with his capabilities, and he's always been reliable in the past. The one time he wasn't, he made up for it and learned from the experience. it's an admirable quality, which makes Gale someone she considers trustworthy. ]

Late morning through early evening. I'll try to get everyone back by night fall, and I'll take over for night. I plan on getting at least a little nap in the sun, so I should be fine to take over when we return, and I'm sure Garrus will have a heart attack if he doesn't patrol at least once a day, so that's at least two of us to immediately relieve you.

Don't forget psychiatric professionals. Hey remember when that one guy tried to band the necromancy and now Everglade is worse than ever now that's a good example of how Guardians with too much power can screw up I bet Everglade wasn't ever glad about that.

[Nova deputy filter]

A vacation disguised as a team exercise? Sounds good. Can I bring my pokemon?

[Video]

[whiteas]

A very firm example of it. The only thing psychiatric professionals should be provided for is within law enforcement and by option only. You can't force someone to trust someone.

[ Though right now she'd still vote for Grell over Remilia, very much so. Grell at least has never been flatly disrespectful of her right to speak freely. ]

deputy filter
It's not exactly a vacation- it's only a day, and I'm getting Gale and Cassian to keep things in line while we're gone, so some of us will need to relieve them around sunset. Pokemon are entirely acceptable- we do utilize them as members of our team, after all.

[Mobius hasn't exactly let himself out since the circus, but the Guardian thing is getting his interest a little. Especially with how ludicrous some candidates are being.]

Do these people not understand what the definition of the word "Guardian" actually means?

voice;

[whiteas]

People like being in positions of power. Unfortunately they don't always realize that there are limitations to that power, as there should be.

Nova Deputy chat

[reachnotflexibility]

Yeah... I'm not really much of a beach person so I'll hang back and keep an eye on the city.

Nova Deputy chat

[whiteas]

Gale and Cassian are going to be taking care of that, you're coming with. The important part isn't the beach, it's the team building, and you're a part of the team.

[audio]

[armofgod]

While it is obvious just from the job description; it also feels a lot more open to the voters to at least talk about your stances on issues, hence "advocating".

Isn't any elected official a finger on the pulse of that area?

[audio]

[whiteas]

Advocating is one thing. While I disagree with some of your listed beliefs, it was hardly the most offensive list. [ Her father's and Remilia's would be her top problems. ]

Well said, my dear, and I have not. That being said, I have a feeling I will in the near future.

You did want to go get a drink. There's a bar in Nova City near the gateway that's got them that I've had recommended to me and I plan on taking it easy before the real campaigning starts, if you're interested.

[The large dragon takes a bow.]

Thank you for the "gentle" reminder.

[Not that he agrees that it's really "gentle," but honestly, he'd do the same thing in her shoes.]

I actually feel better, knowing that I do not strive to become any of those things.

[Video]

[whiteas]

[ Weiss isn't exactly a gentle person, even if she tries on occasion. ]

I was glad to hear you decided to run.

[Deputies filter]

[generalgrievous]

There must be a more appropriate place for such exercises.

[Deputies filter]

[whiteas]

There probably is, but I want to go to the beach before it gets too crowded and before we have to stress out about whether we have a job in a month or not.

[ There it is, that's the reason. ]

This was good to hear. Thanks.

For a second I thought this place was some weird dictatorship. Not sure the reason that it's selected from those who arrive here but, hey, if we can help we should. It feels like we're kinda like long term guests here anyway.

Not sure that I should vote since I just arrived and don't fully understand each area's personal situations but I'll be eager to watch and learn.

Voice

[whiteas]

Exactly how long-term does it get before you're no longer a guest? [ This place has felt like a home to her for a while now. ]

At the very least, there's usually quite the informative period before the voting to get to know the candidates better, so that should help.

Deputy Filter

[sarcaskick]

Please tell me we're not going to sit around a bonfire and sing about friendship.

Deputy Filter

[whiteas]

First of all, that's rude. [ She can't sing anymore you shit. ]

Second of all, I was more planning on trying to make Garrus and-or Grievous float and tormenting Jaune into spending time with both you and Satsuki at the same time until he couldn't handle it anymore while I watch from my umbrella and beach towel with my boyfriend and freshly cracked watermelon.

I'd also find spiking volleyballs at each other entirely acceptable.

[truesmiles]

This is a thing one has to actually explain?

[Well on one bright side, it's not Ted running for office again.]

[whiteas]

I'm getting a sense of deja vu because I don't think this is the first time I've had to make this statement.

And some of them really don't like being told otherwise this time around.

[ Like damn Remilia. Weiss doesn't like Grell on a personal level but she's currently decided to vote for Grell just so that there's one vote that Remilia doesn't get. ]

[stairsbro]

Imagine you being guardian for infinite terms because you keep being the only one that reads the job description.

[whiteas]

I'm happy to say that so far the only other Nova candidate seems to have a decent understanding of the job description.

[ Look she's just saying. Nova deserves people who do and she's happy that there's no one that didn't try. ]

[Deputy Filter]

[weavemyownfate]

[Satsuki can't really complain, she's no stranger to team-building exercises. But why did it have to be at a place she can't wear Junketsu?

On the plus side she can stand more than half of the group.]

Very well; I shall be there.

Re: [Deputy Filter]

[whiteas]

[ Weiss looks a little relieved that satsuki isn't arguing. ]

Thank you.
