Peri smiles at the wanted poster.

Peridot Carrington muses at a fireside somewhere in the world. He palms a tea cup, moving it about from hand to hand. ”The old papu, retired?” Peri had suspected that his family friend would be calling it quits. He lasted far longer than he had suspected. The playwright speaks to nobody in particular, ”He was like the grandfather I never had. I am a mutt, but he gave me culture, affirmation in this city. There was a reason that baba found this man a friend and I a family member. Without his guidance, I do not know how surefooted I would have felt during my hay-day. A tempering, controlled flame in the chaos of life. A hearth to return to, a sharp mind to dance with and a sage to consult to. This nation, he served well. My family, my father, he served just the same. I...” Peri pauses. He sets the tea cup down and lights a cigarette, ”I am happy for the old papu, for he can indulge once more in the leisure of life and of free thought.” The playwright sets down to write a letter to the Basridi sage, to make time for a match of the King’s Game.

To the voters of the Empire, It is my wish that our constitution and our voices are upheld in parliament. Though briefly, I did serve in our House of Commons. The game of politics is in a league of its own and not all, no matter charisma nor promise, are cut out for such a field. It is a noble and honorable profession to be a parliamentarian. You require dignity, you require drive, you require patience and intellect. You must put the needs of the people above your own, above your party. The former House of Commons was dominated by toxic verbal warfare between the two parties. I have high hopes that the new generation of independently run candidates will bring about a new age of cordiality and actual policy production. With this in mind, I, Peridot Carrington, as a representative of the Company of Thespians and Revelers, as a representative of the Imperial Association of Performing Arts, and as a representative of the Lucky Lotus Casino endorse the following candidates. My endorsement also reflects the stance of the governing boards of these aforementioned organizations. I implore all who will listen, or rather read, to vote for these three candidates. Candidate 1: Farooq Gray Farooq Gray is the Solicitor-General of the Imperial Constabulary. He is a master of the law, of justice. He is a person who, for the long ten years that I’ve known him, has been adamant in putting his community, his country, affront his own ambitions. Further, having served under Farooq, I know that he will maintain a level head and seek to produce a policy that will benefit our great people. Candidate 2: Jonah Stahl-Elendil Jonah is a long-time parliamentarian. Unlike those of the past generations though, unlike his former peers, Jonah truly cares for the immaculate status of our great representative system. He is the steadfast face of the Josephite vision and, despite the lack of a List System, will serve to advance the interests of that organization without the shackles of partisan bickering. Jonah will fight for the equality of man, for the representation of all people no matter their standing. Candidate 3: George Galbraith Grey, formally referred to as George, is the epitome of a city man. The Galbraith has served well in the municipal office and, ever since his arrival in the city, has been a servant of its streets, of its people. Without the kind-hearted nature of George, I fear that this House would be lacking in humility and dignity. VOTE FOR FAROOQ GRAY VOTE FOR JONAH STAHL-ELENDIL VOTE FOR GEORGE GALBRAITH
