Wednesday: January 23, 2008
Who: Everyone
When: Late Afternoon (4:00-5:00 PM)
Where: Town Hall
What: A town meeting to cover important Head Council changes and the voting for Vice Council.
Dylan was quiet as he waited for everyone to finish taking their seats in the crowd. Many people had to stand towards the walls since there wasn’t enough room for everyone to sit. They would begin the town meeting shortly, and it seemed as if they had a full house. The hum of chatter filtered through the large hall until Dylan approached the podium and tilted his chin up as he began to speak to the audience.
“Thank you for coming tonight,” he told him, nodding his head slightly. “We have a few things we wish to announce to the public. The first and foremost being the resignation of Constance Alexie from the Head Council. She has resigned for personal reasons and will no longer be attending to the affairs of Elysium and its people. In the wake of her departure, we have been going through a tough selection process for a new Head Council member. It is not an easy business to fill the shoes left empty by Ms. Alexie, but we feel we have come to an admirable decision in our choice. I am happy to introduce you to her tonight. Please welcome Ms. Rosalinda di Palermo,” Dylan finished, stepping aside from the podium as he gestured towards Rosalinda.
Though she felt overcome with nervousness to re-enter the public eye once more, Rosalinda made her way to the podium as calmly as possible. “Hello, everyone,” she said to the crowd. “As Mr. Uzoma has said,” Rosalinda added, looking to Dylan with a smile, “I am Rosalinda di Palermo. To tell you a bit about myself, I suppose I will begin from the beginning? I am from Sicily, and I am a descendant of the House of Palermo. My parents were King Rinaldo and Queen Alfonsina, God rest their souls, who passed during the Pandora virus. I was raised with broad outlook on the world and the best education had to offer. Still, I felt in my youth I did not know very much about this world. I discovered, upon coming here, how little I did know.”
A smile grazed Rosalinda’s face as she talked to the crowd, realizing how different life really was here, before she continued with her speech. “I became a professor of Classical Studies, rose to head of my department, and later entered into philanthropic work across the world. It became my mission to try to make things better for other people. The more cruelty I saw in the world, the harder I tried to fight it. It is my mission here to help keep Elysium a safe place for all people to enjoy their lives with their family, friends, and neighbors in peace. I hope that I can live up to your expectations, and should I fail, I will gladly resign from my position and let someone more competent watch over Elysium. I am glad, however, to at least be given a chance to show what I am capable of.”
Rosalinda bowed her head and left the podium, returning it to Dylan. He stepped up and placed his hands on either side of platform. “Also on our agenda,” Dylan resumed for the audience, “we would like to announce that voting for Vice Council will commence tomorrow and will continue on through Friday. Voting will end at midnight sharp of Friday night. All ballot boxes will be closed by this time and no more votes will be accepted, so make sure to submit your votes for Vice Council sometime before Friday night.”
He smiled at the crowd. “That concludes today’s town meeting. If you have any questions, you may ask them now or send in a letter to inquire of it later. I hope you all have a wonderful evening, and goodnight.”
OOC: You may have your character respond to this with a narrative if you like. Any concerns or questions can also be directed at a Head Council member if your character has any!
