Thursday: November 1, 2007 Who: Everyone When: Evening Where: Town Hall What: A town meeting to announce of Faye and Kaiya's deaths, funeral preparations, and a re-mention of the Vice Council nominations.
It was a sad day today. The murder scene at Ms. Capricia and Ms. Sato's cottage had been a horrendous sight to behold, and the image was branded into the back of Dylan's mind. Announcing their murder to the people of Elysium was going to be hard, but it had to be done. They could not hope to catch the murderer by hiding the fact that people were killed. It needed to be public knowledge. It would be the only way to weed out the one committing these ferocious deeds.
Dylan looked out at the people in the crowd, taking in all of their faces before speaking. “It is with much sorrow and regret that I inform you all of the deaths of Faye Capricia and Kaiya Sato. Their bodies were found this morning outside of their cottages. Some time last night, they were murdered.”
The crowd stirred alive with clamor to express their shock, and Dylan let them speak aloud until he held up a hand to silence the crowd.
“We are putting every effort and energy available into discovering who committed these murders of two of our citizens. All of the people in Elysium are beneath our charge, and those responsible will be brought to justice. We ask anyone with information of suspicious activity to come forward in order to aid us. We are looking for everyday citizens to also join the Guard. If you have experience as a servant of the law, we ask you now for your help to serve Elysium as we track down those responsible for this crime.”
After a moment of pause, he continued on to mention the funerals of Faye and Kaiya. “Tomorrow night, there will be a funeral to lay Faye Capricia and Kaiya Sato to rest. Preparations for this event have already begun in accordance with fae tradition.”
There was one last thing he wished to mention, and it would be brought up in a tasteful way appropriate for the moment. “These new events make the Vice Council that much more important for all of Elysium. Tomorrow afternoon, the nominations will still be announced. We ask you all to take this charge with the weight of today’s events on your shoulders. Let it be a reminder of what your job will to be to the people who are your fellow citizens. As a Vice Council member, it will be up to you to serve and protect Elysium. Do not think of this lightly, and enter into it with pure hearts and pure intentions.”
With those final words, Dylan stepped away from the podium and bowed to the crowd. There was nothing else to say for now from the Head Council. The rest was up to the citizens of Elysium.
