[Backdated to July 29 (aka Thursday May 27) just after Fuu's interview with the Sheriff. * Because for sure she would have done this straight away.]
[At the prompting of the Mayor's voice mail message, Fuu leaves this message, firmly doing her best to be concise:]
Hello, this is Fuu Hououji calling, CAT code [*insert code here*]. Mayor Caligin, I would like to speak to you regarding the town, and regarding the program started by you. Sheriff Iussus kindly recommended to me that you might answer my questions. Ah-- I hope to hear from you soon.
[She happily could have gone on for much longer, but surely if Miss Osculia checked the messages, she'd appreciate brevity.]
Mayor's reply, part 1 of 2luministimodsAugust 4 2010, 14:11:09 UTC
Dear Miss Hououji, thank you for your renewed interest in my Luministi Revival Program! Admittedly, I am somewhat puzzled why you're asking about it again, but perhaps this promotional ad will help answer any questions you may have. Unfortunately, I am a terribly busy man, else I would answer them in person for you. A copy of the promotional ad will be sent to your CAT so you may view it as many times as you'd like.
Thank you again!
[there's a pause, then this music starts up, followed by what seems like an extended and slow video montage similar to the ones that typically precede the Mayor's announcements, except there isn't an image of the Mayor speaking this time; only his voice as the video sweeps through images of the town.]
The town of Luministi has a long and proud tradition of progression, even from the early days as settlers in this fine land. We've always boasted the greatest in technological advancements, as well as the best food you can find on the Northern Continent--and in fact, on the entire planet. We have the

Why, that is an easy question. For you, naturally! We are not about to ask you to come to our town without a place to live, now are we? These luxury homes are being built as we speak, and would be done long before the Program officially begins. These homes come with everything a person could hope for in a new home. All the standards are there: state-of-the-art kitchen, gorgeous master bedroom and jacuzzi bath, and breakfast nook. Each home will come with their own solarium so you can enjoy the wonderful, sunny weather from the comfort of your own home. Best of all, the grounds are tended by the town's gardeners, most of them renowned for their groundscaping, and our repairmen are available at the drop of a hat, no matter what time of day--so you won't have to do any of the work

Hello, this is Fuu Hououji calling, CAT code [*insert code here*].
Mayor Caligin, thank you for the video. It was very good, and did answer some of my questions. However, I'm afraid it also gave me more questions. Perhaps something has gone wrong with your recruiting process, because none of the new residents remember signing up to settle here. However, we all do remember a tall man in a black suit with a black hat, perhaps carrying something. Do you know who he is? [Oh, shoot. Brief! Brief! She adds hurriedly,] I would also like to review my application for the program, at your earliest possible convenience. Thank you for your time.
[Miss Osculia's responding message is spoken in a clipped tone bordering on monotonous, as though she's given this speech--or similar ones--many times before]
Miss Hououji, the mayor's office would like you to know that we have received your message, and your concerns are, of course, our top priority. However, I regret to inform you that the applications are confidential records and not available for viewing after their submission. Also, due to the current situation in town, the mayor is not available at the moment and is, in fact, completely booked for the next several days. I will be sure to let you know when he is available to address your concerns, but for the moment, I'm sure you understand that his need to ensure the safety of his citizens takes top priority. Thank you.
[Optimism lives on! Even if she doesn't remember placing these calls, she can for sure still follow up on them.]
Hello, this is Fuu Hououji calling, CAT code [*insert code here*].
Mayor Caligin, I am calling to request an appointment with you. Miss Osculia informed me last week that you were booked for several days, but that time has passed and I hope that you are once again available. I look forward to meeting with you personally, even if it is for but a few minutes. Thank you for your time.
Hello, Miss Hououji. Due to an unexpected situation in town, the mayor is again tied up with ensuring the safety of the town and unable to make any further appointments this week. We look forward to hearing from you again at another time.

[Now is "another time." Fuu takes a deep calming breath before the call. She'd had to think several times over about how to word this.]
Hello, this is Fuu Hououji calling, CAT code [*insert code here*].
Mayor Caligin, thank you for your message to us the other day. If I may, when you see Miss Verita next, please do pass on my regards to her. [Fuu gives the 'when' just a breath of emphasis, insinuating her certainty that the Mayor does indeed see Verita. She's betting that they are family.]
I would like to request an appointment with you, any time you are available. If you would allow me, or any other of the new residents in to meet you, I'm confident that you will find us to be the outstanding residents you wished for this community, offering you our skills and knowledge.
[Miss Osculia's voice is far from its usual calm tone when she responds. in fact, even her hair looks a bit disheveled, and she certainly looks rather harried]
I'm sorry, Miss Hououji, but the Mayor is...indisposed...at the moment. I will contact you when he's available for new appointments. Have a good day.
