024 :: EVENING NEWS

[ Evening news time! And things are looking...pretty grim by the way the reporters are looking at the screens. ]

Reports from the mayor's office all evening have been sketchy regarding events that might have transpired recently. The rumor mill has been running all afternoon, and reports from the mayor's public relations office are just starting to filter in.

[ Our anchor's face is now replaced by the blue background, where the press release from the mayor's office is shown. The anchor's also reading it off screen. ]
For Immediate Release:

From the information that the police and interested individuals have been able to recover, Mayor Mitchell Hundred passed on last night in Gracie Mansion. We do not know the nature of his passing at this time. The Public Advocate of the City has taken the duties of Acting Mayor at this time. Due to the ImPort nature of Mayor Hundred, we do not know what to expect in the near future. The office will be releasing information as we receive it. We'd like to offer our condolences to the ImPort community as a whole, and all of us in the Office of the Mayor will be crossing our fingers that he follows the pattern of ofther ImPort deaths and returns to the city.

[ And back to the anchor. HORRIFIED ]

Well. That's all the information we have right now. We'd like to encourage anyone that might have any information regarding this event to please call the City police department. We'll keep you posted when we have more information.

Of course, they don't bother mentioning that it was murder.

Media can't cover that sort of thing until it's verified by authorities.

Just because there's no body to protect?

What about the murderer?

I'm looking into that, but really now, I'm a protector, not a policeman.

Looks like it.

I won't be aiding in the investigation.

Seems that way, kid. You need to do your own job. Don't start trying to play the vigilante.

Never been my game. I'm an infojock, a mobilizer. Me going after the perp on my own would just net us one more body.

I'm supposed to be the smart one, right? If I get the name, I'll find a better way to deal with it.

Maybe not you specifically, but I'm sure the information'd get passed along to you one way or another.

Murder needs a motive.

What's your take on it?
hellisforchildren: (that's worth considering)

voice; warded

[personal profile] hellisforchildren 2011-07-23 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Shit, man, I'm too busy trying to process this as something that actually happened to have a take just yet.

He's a head of state, and part of the powered crowd besides. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

[ A beat. ] You, on the other hand, still happen to be alive.
hellisforchildren: (care to repeat that?)

[personal profile] hellisforchildren 2011-07-23 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, fuck your "bound to happen" bullshit! Murder isn't fucking inevitable, someone made the decision to do this.

Just because his position makes him more of a target doesn't mean we can just chalk it up to fate.

voice; warded

[identity profile] afriendtosell.livejournal.com 2011-07-26 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not here to start an argument, you twit. I'm asking if you can help me track down who might've done this.

Or were you too busy being indignant to give a shit?
hellisforchildren: (bet you think that's funny)

voice; warded

[personal profile] hellisforchildren 2011-07-27 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
You've got a really shitty way of asking. My typical methods aren't gonna work, though. I'm picking up some kind of magical interference.
