THERE IS A CRACK IN EVERYTHING

[maskormods]

WHO: ImPorts! But especially the NONAH AMBASSADOR CANDIDATES!
WHERE: The Dolley Madison Library in Nonah, North Carolina.
WHEN: Evening, Sunday November 13th.
WHAT: The Nonah Town Hall for an evening of rigorous debate about the issues that matter!
WARNINGS: N/A.

The Dolley Madison Library is a two story structure brimming with books and neoclassical architecture. Clearly a well-funded facility, this library is a bright, warm, and welcoming environment for polite (if political) conversation this evening. The main floor, near the back of the building and behind rows and rows of looming bookshelves is the slightly risen stage destined for tonight's event. It is but a darkly painted plateau nearly a foot off the ground, a little stage intended for reading events and author interviews. Nine simple wooden chairs are set upon the stage, and a microphone greets them all.

The audience portion is complete with organized, open seating and a table of non-alcoholic refreshments. There are muffins and cookies, too, for those of you who have come hungry for both IDEAS and SNACKS.

EACH CANDIDATE gets a time slot to speak about tonight's theme: THE ROLE OF IMPORTS IN RELATION TO METAHUMANS IN A HISTORICALLY NON-POWERED COMMUNITY.

Candidate imPorts may address their solutions and visions, or even drudge up more complications, in response to the thematic prompt. You can be a candidate of hope, or of fear -- it all depends on your perspective. Concerned imPort citizens are allowed to speak with the candidates about their answers, and debate them if necessary. ImPorts are also allowed to debate among each other after the candidates have all spoken.

The event begins at 7PM EST, but may last well into the night.

Darlene's little eyeroll contains a small hint of her usual attitude, but either she's being on her best behavior or she really was just drunk last time they talked, because she doesn't take it further than that.

Well. Not that much further, anyways. "Okay, your first mistake is assuming that I'm telling people what they should think, so you've probably been hanging around your identical twin up there a little too long and absorbing all kinds of politics into that sponge brain of yours. I am interested in repping whatever platform these would-be politicians are hawking so everybody can get a decent idea of what they're voting on instead of basing their opinions on who they know. Think of it as raising voter awareness. And, to that point, who better to present it all than an undecided voter, also known as--"

She reverse finger-guns at herself.

"Me. Get it?"

Mark's lips tighten at identical twin, the little twitch revealing his disapproval of that turn of phrase. After all, twin is inaccurate and identical is hateful; he's worked hard to look different from Miles, dammit. He's differentiating himself from his progenitor one calorie at a time. Still, it passes without comment. Instead, he asks her an abrupt question -

"What do you think of Miles Vorkosigan, then?"

"Kind of a dick probably," Darlene says, without missing a beat or batting an eye. Her follow-up smile is just a little smug. "But he can't help it, he's running for office. I guess that means he can help it, since running for ambassador is a totally voluntary process."

Anyways. She flicks her hair over her shoulder. "Okay, but I am way into the part where he wants to not put a bunch of rules on us. Less into the cooperation but I guess that's an ambassador's whole deal, so I'm not going to shit myself over it. Ummm. Man. I'd have to review my notes. What about you?"
