[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!]

I would think so, yes. But I am used to simply following orders. It is for my superiors to make sure they are the right ones.

They usually know best!

[So she has masters too, then? Important masters who give her secret jobs with a very advanced chariot..... he can't even fathom what they might be asking her to do. It sounds like she's content with the arrangement, at least, so he guesses he should be happy for her.]

[lilithsoul]

[Debatable, but she wasn't going to give word to her doubts today. Her masters were enigmatic at best.]

I put my trust in them, yes.

[Not that she wasn't growing suspicious of the wisdom of that trust. But she was loyal.]

[gimmesometassel]

What will you do now that you've been separated from them?

[It's an important quandary, freedom, one he's had to deal with a lot. What do you do with yourself, when you don't have the masters or purpose you used to rely on to guide you? What do you do, where do you go, who do you become?]

[lilithsoul]

For now, I am not sure. I am finally coming to terms with the idea that my being here is not because of what I originally thought it was. It means I am free to decide, but I need time.

[gimmesometassel]

I think you'll have all the time you want to decide. Why did you think you were here?

[Did she die? Some people seemed to have died and believed this was the afterlife at first.....]

[... there was a way to say this. She'd mentioned angels after all.]

I thought an angel sent me here as a form of attack. This is not a Sea of Dirac, however, I am certain now.
