I'll be frank: MF is a shitheap. I had hopes that with the amount of organized crime going down there, a decent enough amount would be in our hands. It's not, it's frenzied, power-grabbing chaos. What exactly is the plan to clean those streets up and put a little bit of control into them? Your little candidate there going to put some reins on those boys?

An unkind AND untrue claim.

[hellrisen02]

I use the term shitheap lovingly!

[alcheregis]

You really see nothing better about Maurtia Falls than before?

[ Someone is very Not Pleased. ]

[hellrisen02]

Are we speaking relatively to itself or to other places?

There's small improvements here and there. I've seen some better access to treatment and supplies for homeless, there's less of those randos with the anti-imPort guns running around.

Compared to the other imPort-held cities, however, it's still leagues below where it should be in terms of controlled influence.

A good things are ever a work in progress.

I think everyone knows it's going to take more than just the right ambassador to clean up the place. One of Dio's big plans is to encourage a night-dweller life similar to day time stuff though; that may help at least in discouraging crime a little, if there are less places for criminals to hide.

[hellrisen02]

Even if it's only a starting point, that's better than what it is now. There's a lot of talk all the time about the place needing help, but the efforts at play there now are disorganized. If this group is going to make a play at this city, our best bet at guiding people into our way of thinking is to offer- and demonstrate- to be the hand that brings the place into line.

Intimidation isn't a clean and friendly-looking policy from the outside but hey, it's something. I'm sick of small fry in my territory.

[sleight_of_hand]

Why even do intimidation at all?

Why not just kill them with kindness?

[hellrisen02]

That's the short way of the point I'm trying to make, yes.

It'd make more sense to position a candidate who's loyal but more palatable to those outside our group.

[sleight_of_hand]

well
i mean
have you SEEN dio??????

He's definitely palatable.

[hellrisen02]

Now I didn't want to be the one to continue the horseshit up there but come on now, you don't have to play that hard into the codename.

[sleight_of_hand]

what
no
I'm being serious
like
holy hell

Oh, and he's a pretty good lawyer too.

[hellrisen02]

Good thing that both vampires and lawyers are so popular with the general masses, right?

[sleight_of_hand]

Look.
There's a book on my world called Witch Detective.
It's about some witch girl that falls in love with a vampire.
It's literally the worst thing I've ever seen.
But it's OBNOXIOUSLY popular because the vampire is sexy.

You'd be amazed what people will ignore in favor of sexiness.

[hellrisen02]

I wouldn't be.

Although you're betting an awful lot on your own tastes.

[sleight_of_hand]

again
have you SEEN the guy????????

[hellrisen02]

In passing.

Not my flavor of blonde.

[sleight_of_hand]

eh
fair

Bringing a measure of order to Maurtia Falls is a core part of his platform. And unlike a standard politician, we know he has the strength to deliver on what he promises.

He will work with Mayor Baelish to create a new force to police the streets. And through our influence, we will ensure this policy advances our own purposes.

[hellrisen02]

For all of our sakes, I sure hope his ability to negotiate a course of action is better than this group's.

Whatever its failings, the elected position of an Ambassador does enjoy some advantages over a covert organization like the Constellation.
