Firstly, I want to announce that Herodotus Antiques is having a sale! I'm making room for new stock so everything is marked between 20% to 50% off the original price! Please come down to see what's on offer.

[No fancy graphics this time around.]

Secondly; anyone know of a good pest control service? I have a bit of a rodent problem in my off site stock room.

And last, but by no means least, how about that recent announcement in regards to the Ambassador election? Seems like only yesterday since we had the previous one, but I suppose it's one of those things that have to be done around here. Should make for a few interesting months ahead. Provided that we don't get attacked or invaded, of course.

[Her reasoning for mentioning the election is two-fold: one, to see who lives in Nonah and two - to see who may have already expressed interest in campaigning.]

Apologies in advance if I have jinxed everyone with that last sentence.

My roommate can talk to rodents.

Guess anyone can. So. My roommate can talk to rodents and they understand him.

[cleptes]

Hard to tell if you're pulling my leg or not.

But I'm open to all suggestions.

[catchacold]

I'm not. I'll introduce you too some time.

Either way, don't kill them, he might come to lecture you.

[ This request for help is being answered by a bird. A tiny American kestrel, with sharp talons and pretty brown/silver plumage. ]

I am very good at dealing with rodents.

[ A talking bird didn't phase Bela. Not after the things she had witnessed in the time she's been here. ]

Well, I don't know exactly how many rodents there are. You might need some extra help.

[dendarii]

[ Miles cocks his head thoughtfully. ]

Well I'm not opposed to that either. As long as I get to hunt a bit.

video!

[princeofrats]

Don't call exterminators! They'll leave if you ask them nicely!

[cleptes]

...Right. [She's skeptical.] And you have proof of this?

[princeofrats]

Guys, c'mere!

[ One second, Mouse is leaning away from the camera, and the next, he's covered in rats. They're climbing up his arms, resting on his shoulders, curling up in his lap... and he is totally cool with it. ]

... Ok, now go away. Nothing personal, I'm making a point.

[ The rats scatter! ]

Like that.

[thegriffinofdeath]

What sorts of antiques to do you sell?

[Someone had to ask questions about something besides the rodents!]

[cleptes]

[Questions that Bela will be happy to answer!]

Anything from furniture to jewelry. Do you have a particular interest in something?

[thegriffinofdeath]

I suppose furniture.

Tables, specifically. Or chairs. I'm furnishing a new apartment.

well nonah was the only one left out of the last election
urquhart had been doing it for nearly a year maybe the porter decided its time for fresh blood

[cleptes]

You could be onto something there. Maybe fresh blood is what the city of Nonah needs. The city can't be left without an Ambassador for long, can it?

[glowsferatu]

supposedly
depending on how much you really think the position does
though whoever is elected to the office does have the opportunity to have quite an effect on a city
though i suppose that will all depend on who runs

Antiques? How old?

text;

[cleptes]

Some are decades old, others are over a century.

Are you after something in particular?

text;

[neverdied]

Nope.

Just interested in antiques.

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

I am somewhat anxious about those who may run.

voice;

[cleptes]

What makes you so anxious, Frederick?

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

I would rather us have a competent leader at the forefront on Nonah. Someone like you.

voice;

[hisheartsdesire]

Guess it can't really be helped, with Mister Urquhart gone and all that. I wonder who'll be running... [A pause.] Are you interested in giving it a go?

[cleptes]

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of running. It is open to people who don't live in Nonah so who knows? Maybe I will.

[It'd be a lot of hard work, Bela knew that.]

The challenge would prove interesting.

[itstheirworld]

adopt a cat?

[cleptes]

I already have a cat but she's not really the hunting type.
