The Halfling Elder Nominations of Pendlemere

[Larry Shortoak 297]

The sun reigned over its domain early in the morning. The morning chickens stopped squawking in their coops, the pigs and sheep were suddenly still. The small folk, who were assembled in their usual morning fashion; smoking and eating first breakfast, suddenly gathered with unusual haste at the tavern. The purpose you may wonder? On the oaken door of the Hammered Ham hung a crisp piece of parchement:

The First Election of Pendlemere-by-Cotton-Lake, 1614

As we begin our settlement into our newly dug burrows, as our animals relax in these foreign pastures, as our fields dig their roots into this virgin soil, we must come together in communal election. Just as our ancestors did in Dunwood, just as the diaspora did after fleeing Lenfarthing, just as we did in our scattered villages, we shall appoint Three Elders to guide our kindly folk.

1. You may not nominate yourself.

2. You may nominate a maximum of two Halflings.

3. You have until the end of the Harvest week to nominate someone.

 

Following the Nominations

1. Elder nominees shall be voted upon.

2. General election shall conclude a Harvest week after speeches are given.

a. Speeches will be delivered in person in the tavern.

3. The Inauguration Festival shall commence after election.

 

Signed, Ol' Willow

 

The crowd burst into a ruckus, and some of the Halflings had already begun pouring drinks from the kegs stored inside the tavern. The smoke continued to rise into the clouds above, laughter and chatter filling the air. They were excited and looked forward to the ipcoming nominations and elections, for they knew that upon electing the Elders they were going to have a feast, a feast fit for every biggun and every Halfling on Axios. But for now, the Halflings that began to drink and smoke were already in thoughts on who they could possibly nominate to look after their village. Times were good, and their village was blossoming. All was merry and well.

 

OOC: Place all nominations below in RP posts.

Mongo would set his tea down next to his slice of pie and slur out in his broken accent "I's nominate Alan 'nd Gerald" he would then go back to his tea and pie.

I, Toren Deathsbane, nominate myself for this honourary placement.

[NotEvilAtAll 10906]

Gerald would be adding the finishing touches to his burrow as he says "Ah nomina'e  Larry an' Frederich, because dey ac'ualleh know wha' 'ey are doin', unloike meh!" Gerald would give out a hearty laugh, and then continue working.

"I, Mithras Sylvari, nominate myself for the honorary placement." comments a paladin do-gooder named Mithras.

[Sky 0]

P.S. I, Toren Deathsbane, also nominate, Larry Shortoak, for this honourary position.

[Larry Shortoak 297]

The Old Halfling gathered around with many of the other Halflings, some may have even seen him at the back of the crowd smoking on his Ironwood Pipe. Even though his name didn't mean as much as it used to, Larry Shortoak was determined to let his voice be heard in this regard. The old man gave it some thought, looking around at the gathering to help him come up with his decision. As he thought a small opening formed in his lips which allowed the smoke to escape into the air above.

Shortly after some thought Larry clicked his fingers, his face gleaming with joy as he finally selected two names he was happy with. He bit down on the end of his pipe as he made his way to the parchment. He sighed as he noticed the two names he was going to write were already written.

"Maybe I'll be quick 'nough nex' time." the Old Halfling chuckled as he went to go find a nearby seat, hoping to join in on yet another conversation.

"Wait. We get two? LARRY TOO! AH' LOVE LARRY!"

[Archipelego 2188]

"Oh jeez..." Kasfer murmurs. "Er... Mongo's good.. an' Gerald...? Gerald!" He nods to himself.
