[Carpet and Merlan have been present every day this week to collect and tally people's ballots--if you'd like an action thread with either of them involving that, feel free to post it here! Now that the polls have closed, Carpet is excited to announce the winner, even if he's still a little shaky on the concept of democracy.]

Voting is over now, thank you to everyone who contributed! It was a very close race between Hot Dog and Teddy. Every vote really counted right until the very end!

Let's all congratulate and welcome our new Mayor Hot Dog together!

[For a brief time, before someone corrects him, that last line will read Sultan Hot Dog, rather than Mayor. If you respond to that, please note that it's pre-editing!]

[Carpet might in fact miraculously be one of the few who doesn't think it's too strange. If he isn't crushingly sad about forgetting Sora, then he would probably just shrug and accept it's Just A Magic Thing people that aren't him are able to do and know about--like the people Genie sometimes pretends to be, even though none of the names ever sound familiar to him. Who is "Nicholas Cage"? What is a "movie"? None of it makes sense in the slightest.

He has, however, heard of the ocean, and of ships. He may have even seen them before, depending on where he and his previous masters have gone adventuring.]

That sounds pretty scary! Was it a pirate dragon? Or was it two fights? Who were your other friends?

[Maybe someday, Sora will explain everything. From his time in Agrabah to meeting alternate versions of his friends. Today is not that day.

Having been to Agrabah, he knows better than most what kind of things don't exist and that Carpet might not understand.]

No, it was two fights. Fighting a pirate dragon would be scary.

Their names are Riku and Kairi. I lost them both and was traveling around different worlds looking for them.

I wonder where it would get a big enough hat?

[Because obviously the hat is how you know it's a pirate. Without the hat, a dragon would just be a dragon, not a pirate dragon. More importantly, though:]

Did you ever find your friends again? That's an awful lot of places to look!

[skyofreverie]

It'd ask the hydra where it got its hat from. The individual who makes them will be so relieved when the dragon shows up. He'll say that one hat is no problem, the hydra asked for eight! :D

[Because he's a giant dork and turned it a joke.]

Yeah, I did. And then I lost Riku again so I went looking for him once more. But I found him again and we went home together.

[gimmesometassel]

Eight hats that big must cost a lot!

[He appreciates your joke, at least~ Look at how easy he is to please, Sora.]

I bet they're both worried about you now that you're here.

[skyofreverie]

It does when they're as big as the hydra needs them to be. So at least the hat maker made a lot of money.

[That's because Carpet is a Disney character.]

I worry about them too.
