WHY CAN'T I GET A HOLD OF OUR GODDAMN MAYOR.

This is just ludicrous. I've gone to her office and waited more times now than I can count, and every time, she's a no-show

I'm afraid elections are a priveledge reserved for free societies.

*is trying to make it look like she's giving him a funny look because of what he said, and not because she is looking at a television screen* ...Huh.

*whatever, turns away and sighs* I guess I should've expected it. Things don't work normally here, in any sense of the word, do they. -_-

People are still people. That aside, not a bit.

[nani_wo_yomu]

Mm. *looks back at him, sizing him up*

...So, who're you? Another of the memory-robbed?

[1_electronic]

As are we all. Name's The One Electronic.

[nani_wo_yomu]

Hnn... Mine's definitely shorter. It's Nenene.

[1_electronic]

Charmed.

Might I venture a question, Nenene?

[nani_wo_yomu]

*blinks* ...Yeah, shoot.

If you could meet the mayor, what would you do?

[nani_wo_yomu]

...

First I want to ask her why she won't talk to us about the strange things that happen on this island. I also want to see if there's a possibility if she's hiding anything from us. The more days went by that I wasn't met by her, the more suspicious it seemed to me. Even if she can't control this magic or illusion or whatever it is, a mayor has a responsibility to their citizens. As far as I can tell, she's just sitting on the sidelines and not doing anything to help all of us.

*sighs* ...But then, I haven't been here for long enough to know any of this for sure.

A good answer. Personally, I'm of the school of thought that the mayor is as much a prisoner of this island as the rest of us.

I wouldn't count on staying here longer meaning you'll understand this place better. We're playing cards blindfolded.

[nani_wo_yomu]

I guess I'll just have to wait and find out. *said with the air of someone who is determined to see this through*
