[ Whoop here's the Mayor. Again. At his desk. Looking pretty chill official. ]

Good afternoon, everyone.

As we've all been informed, there are aliens among us. Shape-shifting aliens bent on the destruction of the human race. So if you're not one of these kinds of aliens, and just happened to get ported in like the rest of us, don't sweat it. Back to the Skrulls: we know you're out there. I'm sure some imports have a good idea about who is or isn't a Skrull, am I right?

I'm asking all of you to come out tonight to City Hall to aid us in identifying any skrulls you may be suspicious of. This is an opportunity for you to voice your opinions, no matter how illegitimate you worry they might be. We want to hear about who you suspect, and we're going to take a vote when all is said and done, once eveyrone has gotten their accusations off their chests. This is not a finger-pointing excuse for wanton slaughter of the people we suspect. The people "accused" of being Skrulls will be detained with the police force for a period of time. This will not be any goddamned Guantanamo Bay, so I hope the liberals among us will give your government the benefit of the doubt here.

I'm getting really fucking sick of all the violence going on here, so we're going to try to do this the legal, democratic way. Let's just see how much farther we get when we act like civilized people instead of monsters, huh? Tonight at City Hall, 7:00. The more people who come, the more people who can offer the insights that they've had regarding suspicious or alarming behavior.

If you're wanted by the police, you will be given amnesty for the period of the meeting. Only for the period of the Town Hall meeting. After that, you'd better scurry your law-breaking asses out of there before the police force gets out. If anyone tries to cause trouble, they will be stopped. I'd hope some of our big teams of heroes will be there to represent their opinions, so I wouldn't recommend taking the chance.

Right, if there's nothing else, I hope I can see a good deal of you tonight. Stay safe out there.

[ooc; lead up to the town hall meeting that will be opening up later tonight! Voting will also begin later tonight after Sara puts it up! ]

Seconded. Is this just going to turn into he said, she said? Because we already know people are taking advantage of this entire sitch to get their sick jollies off.

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing a moral dilemma.

[Running a hand over his head.] I mean, it's not that I don't think we need to be more proactive as a group. And it's true that if someone's ... behavior is a little off, the people they hang with might notice even if there's no evidence. [Could it be that Spidey's looking extra uncomfortable at that last? Nah.] But I'm not sure what this is going to accomplish when we still don't have a rock-solid way of checking people for Skrullness. Other than rile people up more, that is.

This will accomplish nothing other than to divide us further.

Well, of course you said everything I was fumbling to say a lot shorter and more impressive-sounding.

Sometimes with age, one is gifted with brevity.
