I would say 'who would want such a position,' but I fear it has turned into something almost celebrity in nature. More people seem to run than are willing to vote. Do you recall how you once told me you ran uncontested?

[viced]

Yes.

It's... It's not a good thing. I don't know what it says about the state of politics in this world, that people are treating it like that. It... it kind of breaks my damn heart.

[baetiful]

People want power. They see being an ambassador as a way to obtain it. Little do they realize it's more battles and fighting to actually accomplish anything worthwhile than it is true power. Though I am curious -- when I spoke to Count Dooku about my mayoral ambitions, he considered it a downgrade from ambassador. Do you believe that as well?

[ Mitch is the one who could really tell it like it is in the political game, the one who would be able to set it straight which one housed more influence than the other. ]

[viced]

[ He snorted. ] No, he's just an idiot.

[ He said it plainly. ] Being mayor is something of a downgrade, at least in the immediacy. But when you have ambitions greater than just "ambassador", you need someplace to go. ?You can't do that without having held an office more than just what we have.

Besides, I went from Mayor to Vice President back home. I'd say it's a pretty good jumping point.

It seems like it. Not to mention, it is mayor of a porter city which is a bit more interesting than one of a regular city. I imagine the representatives of Pennsylvania will take notice. And perhaps you can get closer to the senators from my state to see where they stand?

But regardless, I can gift you Merlotte to run for De Chima's ambassador. I'll convince him that it's a good idea and hopefully he will put his name in when the time comes. And I hope that you would be able to help me find someone suitable to replace me in Maurtia Falls when I decide to step down. It will be a bit interesting to see how our influence can influence the vote.

[viced]

I agree.

We'll see who will work best. Maurtia Falls takes to having someone who's... sympathetic to the needs of the city. If we can find someone who's like minded, I think we'll be able to go a long way to influencing the city in the right direction if we can find someone who...understands it.

Like you did.

[ He's under no reservations that Baelish is likely someone who has done some crappy things. Then again, he has too. ]

[baetiful]

Precisely, my friend.

[ As long as Mitch doesn't judge. He needs some shady besties in his life. ]

Particularly given the sort of imPorts who are drawn to the city. It can be a challenge to represent them at times. But I digress, I've droned on long enough. We can touch on these matters at another time. For now, I will see what I can do to make an appearance at your panel and try to think of one you and I can do together -- if not for this year, then certainly for the next.

[ Because Baelish believes both he and Mitch are going to be here a year from now. ]
