THERE IS A CRACK IN EVERYTHING

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.

Out of curiosity, why d'you plan to keep this unaffiliated?

[Sam rubs at his chin, deciding how best to word his answer.]

...Thing about investors is they tend to want a little input in their investment. S'not a bad thing in and of itself, but you could see how with this in particular it could be an issue. Specially if we'll be helpin' people navigate the choice of registration; I'd rather we be as impartial as possible there. Just give them the facts as we know them so they can make their own choices.

Havin' the government be the one to fund us would raise some issues on that point. Whether they actually tried to persuade the narrative one way or not, people'd have that question. [and Sam wouldn't blame them for it.]

[ There's a pause as the Doctor listens to Sam's explanation, nodding slightly as he does so. There's a bit of a pause, as if the Doctor's mulling over what sort of long, impressive speech he's going to give. Eventually, he settles with, ]

Makes sense.
