"Do you think you won the election?" Allieh asked quietly to SwingnSave, even though she already knew the answer.
"No, I never had a shot with that tyrant Rojo. Just because he needs to keep up his 'undefeated streak.' It's so annoying...."
"Yeah, isn't he just THE WORST." Rojo walks over with a grin so wide it can barely be contained on his face. "No worries swings, you gave it your best shot, it's just that your best shot wasn't good enough."
98 cats walks over. "This isn't some type of joke Rojo. Do you understand what was at stake during this mayor election? Do you understand what could have been if you had just listened?"
Rojo looks up, bewildered. "What are you talking about? I won the election fair and square. I will obtain the power that comes with the mayor, and that is that. That's how it works. That is how it has ALWAYS worked."
"But that's not how it really works, now is it?" LIS's voice is combative, and filled with some anger. "Do you expect someone who has done NOTHING for this city, to just swoop in here and be able to work with all of the government officials, and actually effectively run this town? Wouldn't it make more sense to have someone who is actually experienced with the politics of the city take charge? You know, someone like..."
"You guys are all crazy." Rojo bursts out before LIS can finish. "I know how this works, and I can make new connections. I..."
"But it takes time to make new connections." Magbags retorts. "By the time you have actually made a name for yourself, we will have either dealt with this threat or perished from it. Al you have caused right now is stagnancy, not progress. Sometimes the mark of a great leader is to be a great supporter."
Rojo is stunned. "I didn't do anything wrong. I can lead this town, and I will lead this town. We will get rid of this threat together, and we shall work as a team."
"What is this ****e." Off in the distance Devyn can be heard, slightly slurring her words due to a night out from whisky tasting. "Are you freaking daft Rojo? There is something here that you aren't understanding. Listen to them for a second, and stop being so ignorant."
That shut rojo up pretty quickly. "Fine, what am I missing?"
SV88 is the next to speak up, "It's not that we don't think you would be a great leader. You would be. One of the best. But..." SV88 pauses for a second to decide on the best wording. "It just may not have been the best situation for you to have taken charge. Some of us, we know people, we have been in the political field for many years."
A scream interrupts the conversation, as everyone rushes over to its source. Gwen stands there, shaking, staring at the body of DocEspana on the floor. Through his chest is a knife with a note attached that says, in blood, "Enjoy the mayorship Rojo."
Rojo looks up and says, "This violence ends now. Everyone, head off to sleep, and stay off the streets tonight. We will find who did this, and they will pay."
Rojo has been elected mayor.
