Growed ups make all the decisions and they're not fun no more. So we're going to make it fun again! Me, Lynnie Granger, and Peter Pan - only he's Peter Radcliffe now 'cos of being updropted - will do fun things like Ice Cream Parties and no more orphans and Hide and Seek and all the fun stuff the growed ups forgot how to do. And everyone under twelve what gets their growed ups to vote for us will learn how to fly!

Vote for Lyneth + Peter - making Rhy'Din FUN again!

Letter of His Holiness Pope Benedictus IV of Earth-Realm 268 For the True Believers of His Word

Corruption and degeneracy festers not within the shadows but the light of day. Gone are the days of the righteous. Affronts to the Lord our God infect our children like a sickness as it plays out in the mock theater of a society growing evermore blind.

Woe be the pure of heart, yet even you - the pure - allow the taint the spread. It is not the time to hide and wait, as salvation will only come to those who prove themselves to The Lord by doing his work. A sickness must be purged and it is on you, the True Believers of his Word, to cast aside the plague of society and heal this wounded body that is our world.

Burn away all that is lost. It is by fire that this world and all others will be healed.

_______________________________________________

There's no need for flowery words, I'll leave that to His Holiness. The street is full of sinners and we need to get back to business. Grab your pitchforks, load your rifles, light up some torches, we got witches to burn and demons to exorcise. Those of you unable to stomach the work that needs to be done but wish to be within His Holiness good graces and gain salvation to the Holy Sanctum of Heaven, vote for I, one of His Fury, to take on the task of becoming this corrupt city's Governor-Inquisitor so that the reach of His Word may stretch throughout this cesspool of degeneracy.

Added to the announcements for gubernatorial candidates:

I'm tossing the proverbial hat into the ring as a candidate for Governor of the city of Rhydin.

My husband, Eregor, and I live in this city. We are raising our family here. Every person in Rhydin has different ideas of what?s needed and what priority they should have. No matter their age, race, or gender, they have the right to express those opinions. While I'm capable of reading minds, it's not something a person in public office should have to do to learn what changes people hope to see.

I'm not afraid of hard work. I served on the Governor's Advisory Council, during Fionna Helston's time in office, as a representative of Battlefield Park and later for the city at large. I have a lot of my own ideas on what?s needed. Improved health care and emergency services are still needed in some districts, but I have no doubt the current Governor will continue that project as a private citizen. Road improvements among other things were done during Ebon Ilnaren's terms in office.

What's my platform' To aid the citizens of Rhydin as best I can.

"Mum, you're out of your mind," Jackie noted sagely as she watched her mother calmly toss her proverbial hat into the ring.

"That is the point, darling," Pharlen responded.

Governor MacLeod,

If you can find the time to speak to a very old friend, I would appreciate it. I feel that I can find a way to finesse any issues you may have of punishing the renegade female monks and avoiding the appearance of interference in the election. Perhaps a negotiable amount of silver can be deposited at a rendezvous, and mayhaps some arrested nuns are taken off your hands. Do consider. When the overly righteous are forced to embrace the fears and desires they bury within their souls, the results are very exquisite.

Lord Karos,

You are most welcome to come by the Governor's office tomorrow morning. You might find it interesting to know that my granddaughter, Maggie, and I were just discussing, among other things, a catastrophic event in Terran history; the great fire that destroyed the library of Alexandria. The destruction of books is a loss to all of us in the city. However, the presence of a Wicker Man and citizens having gone missing speak of atrocities that far outweigh the crime of arson.
