After reviewing the list of candidates, I've decided to accept Beverly's nomination.

That being said, I know many of you have met my partner, Alex Reagan. She is rather rambunctious [See annoying] and prone to civic duty [See a busybody]. Should I be elected, I assure you that I'll put her abilities to good use.

Wait. What?

[nobasisinfact]

I've decided to accept Beverly's nomination.

[11calls]

I got that! It's the stuff where you volunteer me I don't agree with.

[nobasisinfact]

Are you implying that you would reject your civic duty?

[11calls]

That's not my civic duty. That's your civic duty. No one's nominated me to my knowledge and I wouldn't accept it either.

[nobasisinfact]

Is that so?

[11calls]

Yeah.

[Obviously.]

[nobasisinfact]

And you're saying that, should I be elected, you would have nothing to do with any of it?

[He knows that's not true.]

[11calls]

I'm saying that I'm not council material.

This is how you decide to announce you're going to do it? You need like a campaign manager or something. Cause you suck at this.

If I wanted Alex on the council I would have nominated her and not you, Richard.

[nobasisinfact]

I'm not a politician.

Re: Private Audio

[gristle]

No shit. But you’re smart. And you need to know this isn’t the way to do this.

Re: Private Audio

[nobasisinfact]

I'm not interested in actually getting the position. However, this does serve a purpose.

Re: Private Audio

[gristle]

What purpose?

Re: Private Audio

[nobasisinfact]

Getting information out about the school.

[gristle]

Oh, if only you had like a girlfriend who's job it was to be a reporter. Maybe you could have just told her to do it!

[nobasisinfact]

Are you implying I'd use Alex?

[He sounds amused.]

[whiteroadrunning]

[Alec's laughing, just a little.]

Easy as that, is it?

[nobasisinfact]

It would be harder to keep her from getting involved.

[whiteroadrunning]

Well now you haven't given her much say in the matter.

[nobasisinfact]

I'm simply being preemptive.

[whiteroadrunning]

Pre-emptively volunteering a loved one for public service. That seems strangely familiar...

[nobasisinfact]

Is that so?

[whiteroadrunning]

It turned out about as well as you'd expect.

Though it's not a bad strategy by half. Alex is staggeringly capable.

[nobasisinfact]

A surprising fact.
