Cor was in Omelettes O'Plenty as he was every morning. Though unlike busier days, he was currently lodged behind the counter with a pencil in one hand and a splayed out copy of the Oracle before him. The pencil tip was hard at work filling in the answers to the current crossword puzzle he was working on when the door to the establishment opened and Taneth came flouncing in.

"Coooor!" she said, bee-lining over to the blinking Omelette Chef. She was stymied by the length of counter between herself and Cor, but that didn't stop her from reaching out over it to try and hug him.

"Taneth! What's up?" This asked of her as he set the crossword down and leaned over to hug her. "Are you hungry?"

"No." she said before straightening. "I wish to hug everyone."

Cor blinked. "Okay."

Taneth started to wander around Oh-Oh now, pulling pink ribbon after pink ribbon out of her satchel and tying them around whatever she could. She paused and looked back at Cor. "You will help me hug everyone."

"But I don't-" Cor tried to protest his involvement before she cut him off again.

"Everyone is cute. They should all be hugged."

Cor just stared helplessly at her, then started laughing. He held up a hand in surrender. "Alright, Taneth. Fine, fine. I'll help you. I think I know just the thing. . ."

With that, Taneth beamed a smile at him, then motored for the door.

Flyers started going up all over Rhy'din soon. Each one smelling faintly of omelette batter.

"Corlanthis Wystansayr for Governor! Taneth Mercer for Vice Governor!"

A missive was also sent to the Waterhouse Accounting offices to make them aware of his intended Candidacy.
