Election Results

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

This thread is meant for characters to post their reactions to finding out Asmoskon Masurao is now the Mayor of Karakura.


“Damn never thought this would be possible just a couple months ago.”

Asmoskon spoke to himself while standing in front of the tall mirror that showed his full body and what he was currently wearing. Although he couldn’t say it wasn’t good looking, the black suit wasn’t something that he would say fit his style. Normally he was with his favorite long black leather coat along with military pants and a short sleeve shirt. All this extra clothing made him think about the military uniform that he had made and still occasionally used when beneficial to him. Looking at himself right now he felt like he was impersonating Kyomei.

After so many months and yet it still felt that strange to him. Whenever he wore a suit before it was for some sort of special occasion or undercover work. Now though he was doing it for his people and Karakura. “Hmmm only a little bit more and then things can really start to change.” Asmoskon spoke to himself. How funny that the man who’d survived some of the worst things in existence was having a hard time wrapping his head around something as simple as public office. It’d started as something half hearted from a suggestion that one of the young kids had made.

Asmoskon hadn’t realized that his being raised in Karakura combined with his financial success gave him a decent amount of backing. After that all he had to do was research some of the problems the residents had with the current situation. He covered what he wanted to do without telling them what was actually causing so many of the problems. Appealing to the horrible situations of the city being broken, ruined and attacked by nothing so frequently. It almost felt unfair how much his knowledge helped him in gaining the votes necessary.

He’d been asking himself one question for months now though. Since first putting his name down. Was this really a decision that could help his people? Whether or not it would help them all he couldn’t say for sure, but it would give them all the option to live above ground, in the open, ready to accept what they were and use everything he’d been teaching them. So he’d accepted what he did now and was ready to start leading not just his people, but everyone in Karakura as the New Mayor.

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

"Madame, it appears the election results have come in. Would you like to review?"

Shizuka popped her head up from beneath her desk where she had been hiding for about half an hour now. Truthfully, she had been stress-cleaning. There was a lot going on in her life at the moment that she didn't expect to happen all at once, and this was the only outlet she could think of that would be proper. She knew about the new elections for Mayor of Karakura, and while Felicia had tried to urge her boss to run for office, Shizuka politely declined. She was already running a company that was supposed to hide in the shadows even more now after the crazy attack. The building they were in at the moment had undergone an insane amount of renovations, and it was somewhat like an iceberg - the majority was underground.

"I suppose so. I didn't pay attention to it much, though. Honestly, I'm not even sure who was running. I saw a few names here and there on posters in lawns or whatever, but I don't get involved in politics a whole lot."

"You may wish to get involved more now. You seem to be acquainted with the Mayor."

This comment caused Shizuka to raise a brow and sit herself back on her chair. With a more serious look on her face, she leaned forward to show that she was listening very intently. If she was acquainted with this person already, she could only imagine who could have possibly stolen the throne of Mayor from literally anyone else in the town. She had a few names in mind and none of them were good, which made her that much more concerned. Even the way Felicia delivered that line, with a slight hint of sarcasm, was enough to make anyone pause with suspicion. This wasn't going to be good.

"Evidently it's Asmoskon Masurao. Was he not a Gun when you were?"

Interesting. "Yeah, he was. But he quit years ago. Everyone loves to remind me that it's because I succeeded Satsujun. I don't know... I felt like it just made sense at the time. I didn't think it would bother anybody. I haven't spoken to him since then."

"I see. I feel it would be hard to believe that such a grudge could last for this long, but you never know. I think it would be best to make an appearance for the new Mayor. Would you like me to make an appointment?"

"Y'know what? Yeah. I would. Let's go see an old friend of mine."
