For the People, By the People

[Th3_11th 181]

 

Matthew de Cantwell would have Auralia push a small crate into the square. He would place his metal boots as he stood on it shouting to the crowd, "My fellow Curonians, gather around! I am Matthew de Cantwell for those of you who do not know. I plan to run as your future mayor of this fine city we call home. As your mayor I shall hold events to increase our activity, to bring others from far and wide to witness our greatness. These events shall bring revenue and tourism to our great city. Many will come from miles around just to hear our preaching.

I shall as well enforce better patrols, at day and night, to protect us from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. For too many of our people have fallen victim to such attacks. No more I say, no more.

Our taxes will be lowered, so you can keep more money in your pocket to feed your starving children. With the lower taxes, we can lower the homeless population. No more will we see beggars on the streets, no more will we say poverty in our fair city. We shall clean up these streets, for I have the broom and you have the dust pan."

He would pause for a moment, before chanting, "For the people, by the people!"

As he stepped down, Auralia stepped up onto the crate. "I ,Auralia, shall run as Matthew's deputy mayor. Along side him I will help assist him in the tasks he has layed out for himself. Together, alongside him, we shall clean up these streets we call home. Together we will rid our city of the fowl vermin that crawl in the shadows."

Matthew would step up beside her and stand beside her as they chanted, "For the people, by the people!." 

Ser Cecil Halcourt would chime up after the speech was concluded. "The Curon Loyalist League political party shall be supporting and running Matthew de Cantwell's bid for mayorship. There will be a fundraiser at the Cyrilsburg Great Hall later this year! Free food and drink will be provided."

Thomas de Hartcold would be humming Do You Hear The People Sing to himself as he walked past Mathew making his speech.

"Didn't he try to protect the sandman heretics?" asks Walter to his comrades within Judeburg, after hearing of Matthews speech.

[Adelemphii 1766]

Emilia stops in front of Matthew who is speaking, "Dear cousin, You are much too impatient to be a mayor!"

"Did 'E say drinks?" Says a certain Mason Thomson.

"I follow Matthew de Cantwell for a very specific reason. As a canonist with much more... diplomatic ideals, I believe that any and all creatures have the right to willingly accept GOD's love and join our humble and just faith, free of fear and bloodshed.This belief does not cover the undead, of course. In this dark and fruitless world we live in, the love and light of GOD surrounds us all. It guides us, protects us from sin if we permit it. It nourishes us, makes broken people whole. It unites us, against the darkness that tempts us. Without GOD, we would not exist. With fear, we can never truly follow his word. I believe that, by peacefully encouraging people to convert to our faith and protecting us from those who truly seek to harm us, we can show the world who we truly are: kind, loving, forgiving people with little regard for the things that often spark such bitter hatreds among races. I urge you all to vote for Matthew, so that we may restore Curon to what it used to be, long before that long and unholy war with Renatus-Marna even began." Auralia said loudly and strongly, her skills as a leader showing.
