Largo and His Shirt

Snow exclaims, "Thoom, Para!"
(Paramedic smiles and waves.)
Paramedic says, "Thoom."
Largo says, "Para, I have a story for you."
Largo says, "it's a followup to the one about my shirt."
Largo says, "I STILL have the shirt."
Paramedic says, "Oh really."
(Largo nods.)
Largo says, "I think it warrants the front page."
Largo says, "So, anyway."
Largo says, "This shirt is front page news."

(Largo nods.)
Bastion says, "Largo, i sold it to you, making it a pathetic shirt coz i owned it :P"
Paramedic asks, "So, Largo, who will you and your shirt be supporting for Fen President?"

Largo says, "Oh, Manx."
Largo says, "Easy."
Largo says, "She's cutest."
Largo asks, "Wait, who's running again?"
Paramedic says, "Daimoth, Manx, Odesseus, and Tigger"
Largo says, "Oh."
Bastion says, "Daimoth"
Bastion says, "by far"
Bastion says, "coz he beats me up ifi dont vote for him"
Paramedic says, "I think it's going to be a competitive election"
(Largo strokes his chin.)
Largo says, "Out of those cantidates, Manx is still cutest."
Paramedic asks, "How about you, Snow? Looking forward to the Fen Presidency election?"
Snow exclaims, "Err...sure!"
Andarius ponders, "fensident?"

Paramedic says, "Everyone should vote, it's an important election"
Andarius ponders, "is that a tooth paste?"
Paramedic says, "Daimoth, Manx, Odesseus, and Tigger"
Bastion asks, "whos runnign what now?"
Largo says, "Right, because the fen president does so much."
(Paramedic nods)
Largo says, "It'd be wrong to put all our fates in the hands and paws of the other voters."
Largo says, "Frankly, I'd like to know why Relkin didn't run this year."
Snow says, "Odesseus does catnip, he just claims he doesn't inhale."
(Smeester is confused)
Smeester says, "i went to the corner, and they all started there"
Smeester says, "i was trapped from the moment it started"
Bastion says, "wierd..."
Smeester says, "yeah.."
Bastion says, "blame GMs"
Largo says, "He's got even Manx beat for looks, and I bet he'd appoint me in charge of something."
Smeester says, "never gonna pass if that keeps happening"
Bastion says, "or blame Polerand"
Smeester says, "grr"
Smeester says, "hate that test"
Snow says, "Poor Smeester."
Janus says, "There there Smee"
Janus says, "I failed sixth... if that makes you feel any better"
Smeester exclaims, "but they all spawned right on me!"
Paramedic says, "It's always hard to decide who should get more blame, GMs or Polerand"
Smeester exclaims, "that shouldnt happen!"
Bastion says, "yes Para"
Smeester says, "i never moved more than a foot.."
Bastion says, "it is very hard..."
Smeester says, "grr"
Bastion says, "I’m still deciding wether we should start blaming Largo..."
(Andarius tilts his head a smidge)
(Smeester now wants to go kills things, to get the anger out)
(Paramedic nods)
Largo says, "Pfft."
Snow says, "I say we just begin fighing amongst ourselves"
Largo asks, "Who could blame this face?"
(Largo bats his eyelashes.)
Janus ponders, "everyone"
Super Chicken yells, "Bawk!"

Hoggle Wonders about the Issues

Paramedic asks, "How about you, Hoggle? Looking forward to the Fen Presidency election?"
Hoggle says, "hrm...."
(Whim wants to be Fen President)
Bastion asks, "why isn’t Gorvin running for Fen President?"
Snow says, "I thought these were Mid-Fen elections."
Hoggle says, "not quite sure I know where they are on the issues i care about.."
WormTounge says, "Daimoth's been campagining."
Hoggle asks, "like where are they on colored helmets for dwarves?"
Largo says, "Manx loves fashion, Hoggle."
(Snow flings a rock at Super Chicken)
WormTounge says, "Hoggle, taxes, military spending and the like."
Paramedic says, "I'm hoping the candidates will be issuing some statements"
(Super Chicken gets bonked on the head with Snow's rock)
Hoggle says, "I hear Daimoth suggests we cut and run vs. the Bartok situation.."
Whim blows hard into a sea horn.
Super Chicken exclaims, "!"
Hoggle says, "while Manx wants to stay the course.."
(Snow laughs)
Super Chicken blows his horn.
WormTounge says, "Although I think it's more the issues he thinks the people he's talking to are interested in."
Super Chicken blows hard into a sea horn.
Largo says, "It's not like anyone listens to the fen president anyway."
Whim ponders, "Super Chicken is a blow hard"
Largo says, "And Manx is easily the best looking."
Super Chicken asks, "Why don't you run for fen president, Largo?"
Super Chicken conks Largo with a greymyr rock candy.
Largo says, "I would have, if I'd known the election was coming."
Paramedic says, "Yes, perhaps you can be a future candidate, Largo"
Super Chicken conks Janus with a greymyr rock candy.
Hoggle says, "kalian for ranger fen president imo.."
Snow picks up a greymyr rock candy.
Largo says, "I'm not terribly interested in politics, but I think I could do alot of good."
Largo says, "So, anyway. Manx is the best candidate this year, at least."
(Smeester hurls a coin at Janus' head)
(Janus takes the coin.)
Bastion picks up a coin.
Bastion exclaims, "woo!"
Bastion exclaims, "I’m rich!"
Janus ponders, "thief"
(Smeester throws another)
(Bastion throws money at Janus)
Janus picks up a coin.
Hoggle ponders, "imo bastion is one of those lobbiests trying to push his no taxation on untraining."
Janus says, "Woo"
Janus exclaims, "I'm rich!"
(Whim nods)
Smeester says, "let’s go get richer"
Bastion ponders, "heh"
(Janus lazes.)
Largo asks, "Who DOES select the candidates, anyway?"
Largo asks, "Does being fen president mean you get to boss Noivad around?"
Paramedic says, "I doubt it"
Largo asks, "What exactly does it entail?"
Largo says, "Haha. enTAIL."
Smeester says, "bah"
Largo asks, "Get it?"
Paramedic says, "hah"

Largo says, "But you're a reporter, you're supposed to have all my answers."
Paramedic says, "Nah, as a reporter I get to ask all the questions"
Daimoth asks, "Why isn't Lorikeet running this year?"
Largo says, "Right, then relay the answers to me."
WormTounge says, "Or Valtrim"
Daimoth says, "Because Valtrim's corrupt."
WormTounge says, "That wouldn't stop him running."
Paramedic says, "I think there's some sort of term limit so the same people don't get elected over and over"
Largo asks, "And Tigger isn't?"
WormTounge asks, "Daimoth, why are you campagning against someone who's not running?"
Kalian says, "He likes competition"
Daimoth says, "Because we still have to clean up the effects of his presidency."
WormTounge says, "You've been saying "Down with Valtrim" constantly. Yet there's no reason to."
Daimoth says, "Yes there is."
Daimoth says, "I believe he has allies. Some of whom are running now. They are a part of his corrupt party."
Largo says, "Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me."
Daimoth says, "Conspiracy Fact."
Paramedic says, "Perhaps he's defining himself against the present Fen President administration"
(Daimoth nods.)
Largo asks, "What exactly did he do?"
Daimoth says, "Look at where his presidency has gotten us."
WormTounge says, "Helped rescue people who fell. Gave mystic boosts."
Largo asks, "The same place all the others have?"
Largo says, "I'm pretty sure the fen president doesn't actually DO anything."
Daimoth says, "If I am made president, I will make seventh and eighth fighter tests a reality."
Kalian exclaims, "woo!"
(Kalian cheers)
(Daimoth nods.)
(MaryJane considers putting her vote up for sale)
(WormTounge laughs.)
Daimoth ponders, "Hmm."
WormTounge says, "I'm sure buying votes isn't against the rules."
MaryJane ponders, "poor mystics can be bought"

Rakshasa says, "Um"
Rakshasa says, "it's a very serious matter but"

Kalian asks, "There is a rule book?"
(Paramedic rolls his eyes and whistles)
Koppi yells, "Paramedic reports: It's election time. Be sure to cast a vote for Fen President!"
WormTounge says, "Lorikeet, if you were on the ballot it might split the vote Daimoth's trying to get."
(Daimoth nods at Paramedic, deftly slipping his flash money back into his pocket.)
Shadowmutt growls, "Grrr."
Lorikeet says, "Yes. Para likes him now."
Shadowmutt notices Daimoth and wags its tail.
Kerrah ponders, "Who wouldn't?"
Kalian says, "Don't worry Lori, Para hates me too."

(Rakshasa quacks.)

(Largo grins.)
