Hotdog's Inaugural Address (un:hotdog)

So I guess I'm the fucking mayor of this shithole now. Pretty funny for a guy who never voted in his life. I don't know whether to thank the assholes who voted for me or punch you all, but I always was better at punching than saying thank you so you can guess where I'm leaning.

I'm taking this to mean the Natives are washing their hands of us. They don't want to be responsible for what happens next, but they still want to reap the benefits if we manage to make progress with the Sound Eaters. I get why they're scared, but where I come from death is always permanent and patriots lose their lives every day so the people back home can be free. Even if we come back, that doesn't make our sacrifice mean less.

Alright, enough of that bullshit, I'm getting to a point. All of us are going to pool our resources and Soundproof the Communal Houses. I want as many done as possible before the new people get here. We're constructing a Prison too which needs to be fully soundproofed and tough enough to keep shitbags inside. If there's anyone or anything you're worried about coming here from your world, you can let us know HERE. Mike is putting together a book so we'll all be ready. If you want to help, drop off materials at the Clinic, which is always looking for volunteers. Stay tuned for us rehabbing the Hospital too. We need anyone who knows any fucking thing about medicine and repairing androids or whatever that shit is.

No one does anything alone, there need to be witnesses to everything that happens in this crater. If you go out to the Sound Eaters: Bring your device and record. We don't know if the memory loss from the Room is permanent, but it's better not to risk being wrong. We need all the information we can get on those things. I'm doing a trip when the new arrivals get here out to Monster Island. If you want in, let me know.

That's all for now. Hotdog, over and out.

Of course I did. I pay attention. For as long as I've been here you've tried your best to help and protect everyone. You didn't give up on doing that even after you suffered at the hands of a maniac. That's amazing. You know that, right? That's why I have complete faith in you as a leader and friend. It takes a special kind of person to take their pain and turn it into something good. That's who I want to represent me and my interests.

He is plus there's Captain America! Ugh I know it's wrong, but I really wish he were here. I bet he'd know what to say to make him stop. He always stands up for everyone too so I know he'd give you a chance too.

So am I.

He may very well be a good leader.
His first address left something to be desired.
And isn't it better that he know that not everyone is in agreement with what he's saying?

Blindly following makes it our fault when he does something wrong.

I already did, remember? [ But if he wants more: ] Cold dog? Furter? Wiener? [ Seriously, anything is better than that name. ]

I know you do... but remember if one of us gets hurt it's not your fault now you're mayor. [ He's got a bad feeling Frank is going to end up blaming himself. It's probably what Mike would do and they're so similar. ]

Sorry! I don't want to make you cry. I just want you to understand why I picked you and why other people would too. It's not that we didn't know better. We just see things differently from you.

akjdlas okay, but be nice if you meet him! Don't call him an army boy!!! I want an autograph so badly. I bet if I made sad eyes while you pulled the 'Hey we both love America, right????' card I could score one.

But, seriously I really think he'd see it the way we do... unless it's an evil version of himself. Then we're all pretty screwed.

I'd have said no thanks and thrown the dog a bone.

[If they're talking Honesty and shit like that. Now's the time when Hawkeye wishes he had his red robe and some muddy shoes to plop on top of a desk. Y'know. As any mature, full grown man does.]

I just hate the idea of locking someone up for something that might not have been their fault and I don't know if it will ever happen but I hate it. we're dealing with stranger's words here annd I don't know if there's enough trust to go around to ever make it fair

[He's certainly not the largest supplier of said trust. He's already gotten horridly contradicting words out of these devices. But.

Look. Anyway.]


not knowing what you're doing just makes you overqualified for the position of mayor you really should be running for senator. You're already doing the I Am One Of You thing so well.

now don't take any this personally comrade I'm just doing my part in congratulating you on your new kingdom

no that's just propaganda and too many cartoons.

All you need is for red to be your favorite color after 26 and if you confess it to the wrong person your new political affiliation gets branded on your personal record.

not really, no. way too far in the future to think about.

Yay! I promise you can call him army boy after that so if he gets offended we'll already have the autograph. *^*

Okay good. I'm still massively disappointed in his behavior, but I'm glad it didn't end with anyone getting hurt.

I'm trying to set up an activity centre for the children, where rooms are soundproofed and stocked with items and supplies for them. The parents or guardians can leave their children for the day or so. That way the kids can play and do activities and, you know, get a chance to really be kids.

volunteering to help with the soundproofing, Mr. Mayor sir. wherever you want me.
but do we uh. have that many people we need to put in prison?


[He remembers seeing the thing about Kilgrave not long after he arrived, and he heard about the robot, but... geez.]

[personal profile] morphogenia 2018-03-09 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! But, okay I'm going to defend you on this one. We have the Purple Man here and I don't see him threatening to blow up his house.

No matter way you look at it he crossed a serious line. No one can guarantee the sound eaters wouldn't go crazy and murder all of us if we blow something up. He wanted to risk that just to say he doesn't approve of what you did back home? I don't either, but that doesn't mean I'd threaten to blow up a prison to make a point about it. No one's opinion is more than important than the lives of others.

[Then what's the fucking point of prioritizing a prison?

Hawkeye just. Tugs at his hair.

And then he wonders when the last time was that he heard "love you", in jest or otherwise. They said a lot of stupid shit to each other in the MASH, but some things would be a little too much, even for the men who prided themselves on taking things too far.

Naturally

he grins like a damn loon.]


kiss kiss and get some rest darling

You're a very strange leader. [She's not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing yet.]
