Are we really going to have to deal with this election nonsense again? Need I remind the rest of you how well it went last time you tried this?

I mean, really. You'd think you organics would know better. But, then again, considering how you all jumped on the...

[Guess who's trying not to laugh over that last bit.]

Ah-- I wasn't going to...[giggle, laugh, aha that was pretty funny] you're nice!

[weaponsparked]

... What's so funny?

[silvestris_mage]

Ah-- just the way you said that last bit.

But I wasn't going to kill you at all. Never.

[weaponsparked]

What, with the voice?

Oh, you weren't. Half the town, on the other hand...

[tooshallpass]

What sort of election nonsense? A-and murder?!

[weaponsparked]

Well, the last time these idiots decided to have a little election, the entire damn town tried to kill us.

Yes. Murder. Mob mentality decided that gorgeous me... who'd only ever harmed a rosebush since his arrival here... slaughtered helpless children. Despite evidence to the contrary.

[tooshallpass]

As in the people that were pulled here or those -- those puppets? I think that's what she called them, anyway.

That's absolutely horrible, regardless.

[weaponsparked]

The drones? They were the ones doing most of the attacking, I think. I was a bit... incoherent.

[bbsatbyrobots]

M-murder!?

[weaponsparked]

[... whoops.]

You... didn't hear about that?

[bbsatbyrobots]

N-no! Why...why would they...[WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL HER? D8]

[weaponsparked]

Um.

... I... thought I... did.

An' yeh ain't mad at them damn Officials fer makin' yeh out t' be the villan? This time, maybe yeh could actually join the fight! Make a difference! Tha' last rebellion weren't fer nothin, we learned a lot more from it than just sittin' round twiddlin our thumbs.

[weaponsparked]

Yes. I am. Do I sound as if I enjoyed the experience?

Uh huh. And since so much has changed since said "last rebellion", you're completely right. How silly of me to think you're all a bunch of idiots.

[blewitup]

Tha' last rebellion might have been THE last rebellion if we'd had a bit more manpower! We coulda gotten outta here, or captured an exhausted Grady, or summin! We jus need a bit more unity!

[weaponsparked]

Uh huh. Of course. And the fact that everyone participating was droned counts for absolutely nothing, I suppose.

[hourai_branch]

I take offense to that!

[weaponsparked]

... Offense noted. What's your point?

[hourai_branch]

No, that's it.

[weaponsparked]

All... right then.
