First an foremost, though I firmly believe I was not an active participant in the recent election I was most certainly nominated by a fool someone. As such it is only good and fair to extend my most sincere congratulations to Miss Seras Victoria.

Truly, congratulations. I wish you the best of luck in your continuing position as warden in the City. If by any fluke of circumstance I can be of assistance to you in some shape or form please do not hesitate to ask. I'm sure something can be negotiated, if needs be.

Moments like this when I feel like saying "Well, at least that ugly mess is behind us" I find it would be an inaccurate statement to make as at this particular point in time I would not be referring to a single event.
Curses are as curses ever seem to be; troublesome.
And yet, in this particular circumstance I find it is not the curses that have caused my annoyance especially, even though yesterday's was a little harrowing loud. No, most certainly I can handle talking hats and magical classroom activities. What troubles me is matters not caused by curses but individuals being what I can only assume is themselves.
This is not pleasing to witness.
A matter which needs addressing, without any shadow of a doubt.
Matters regarding warden, I believe not rising to the situation myself on this occasion was a wise selection. The timing was wrong, the situation not ideal and at this point not something I wanted to put my energy into, especially.
Of course, I considered the pros and cons of such a position and whether or not to actively campaign. But while easier access to City-wide information would have been appealing, and I have had experience with police forces in the past, and it may have been a way to keep doors open for the Club members, and I could have handled it as a job, it was not to be and realistically I was more than aware of that when it was first mentioned.
Tamaki meant well with his nomination, but I think he viewed it as simply being care-taker when there is clearly a lot more to it than that. As I believe I have noted, in areas I am a very selfish and ambitious man. Warden would have taken what I would consider to be valuable opportunities from me at this time which I can not afford to overlook. This "mother" thing is not meant to be for the City as a mass, but the club members as a minority.
It would have meant me withdrawing completely. That is not what I want to do. Stressed and sleep-deprived though I am, the current set-up is better. I can actually be here.
While part of me loathes what I'm doing, the hospital job is allowing more funds into the Club, which in turn is keeping us out of debt, which of course means I am contented.
Ironic and painful to think if it had not been for him I would most likely be something similar to this anyway if we had not been brought here. Ironic, because since being brought here I am doing exactly what I do not want to, and painful for exactly the same reason.
Still. As long as it is for 'the family' I can endure. Must endure. Will endure.
This City is not made for people like us them.

How much do you know about this 'Soubi' person?
