[ Oh, look, it's Kitty Jones. She seems a little tired - though you'd only know it by looking at her. Her voice is unchanged from normal. Indeed, she speaks with her typical firm bubbliness - a cheerful, kindly tone and an adorably youthful London accent obscuring the fact that her speech is (as usual) a bit on the manipulative/calculating/forceful/aggressive side. ]
Hullo, all. First, a job offer. I run a charity garage. It does pretty good work - we fix up and build really, really good cars, and sell 'em to the richer members of the local populace, and then the proceeds go to fund public transit in Heropa. Anyway. I recently... [ Just a little flicker in her smile. ] Lost an employee. So if there's anyone out there who's good with cars or mechanics or whatever, I definitely want you.
[ And now to the less businesslike portion of her announcement: ]
Anyway. Obviously there's been a lot of talk of elections lately, and there's also been a lot of cynicism about the whole electoral process. For obvious reasons. Since there are some politicians who are lunatic idiots. So I guess I just wanted to throw this out there, 'cause all of you have so much different experience from different worlds.
Who had power, where you're from? What was the government like? And were they good - just - or unjust? What do you think's the best form of government? How much power should the people in charge have?
And if you could build a government, build a country from scratch, what would it look like? Would you limit the freedom of the press, or would everyone have the right to speak? Would you build social programs, or would you leave people to fend for themselves? Would you go after warfare and expanding your borders, or would people live in peace?
[ These questions are a little bit leading. Perhaps. ]
Anyway. Share your thoughts, please.

You reckon you can be a leader without being a politician? Seem a bit wound up together.

[ She tosses her head a bit haughtily. It's perhaps a bit ludicrous for her to be as forceful about this as she is about the honor of a sugar glider but...she's just forceful about anything. ]
Politics is a job. A job that involves a lot of deceit and wretchedness. Being a leader simply means being someone worth following.

Excuse you. Chump is obsessed with me. I think he's foul. Anyway. No. He's a politician, but not a real leader.

That is what's going through Sarissa's mind, or rather, what she is trying to ignore. )
Well, we can't help it when people are enamored. I keep getting pulled over by the cops, myself. They can't get enough of me. Must be real sad to be that lonely.
i love you
Ugh. He, like, wants to market me. I know what that actually means. [ Beat - ] Hold on, the cops, you said?

Did he say anything about wearing pink on Wednesdays?
Yeah, cops. Police? The fuzz? Blue heelers? Cute uniforms, seem to favour aviators?
no subject
Ew. I don't wear pink. No one would ever be able to compel me to. Especially not a gross fat old man. Anyway, are the cops actually bothering you?
no subject
Christ, is this is about to turn into you railing shit for being too girly, or is it just not your cup of tea?
I think they're bothered that my car's a mobile deathtrap, or they just want an excuse to talk to me more often amd they're the shy, delicate sort. Take your pick
no subject
Anyway, if your car really is a death trap, you ought to get a new one.
