Yeah, this is getting bad... [Day after Joker (aka, Hajime) being attacked]

[lunchleader]

Hey, guys? This is Right. I guess I'm kind of a newbie, but that's not important right now. We got a problem. A BIG problem, one different than those Hunters Thorne talked about earlier. You guys heard about Baadur? He's my boss; I work with his pack as one of their corvigers. Nice guys, but you don't wanna piss off the girl werewolf. Trust me; she's that scary.

Anyway, last night, one of the others got attacked by one of Bagrat's men. His name's Joker, and he was protecting one of the other corvigers when it happened. Joker's okay. He's hurt, but Baadur patched him up. He also got proof of the attack, too, so that the local authorities can get on it. But Baadur and everyone else thinks that Bagrat's trying to go after us in order to scare Baadur into dropping out of the election. They also think that his people might be the ones that attacked that person close to Lady Elphaba recently, too, so that she could drop out as well.

That's not happening. This isn't how elections are supposed to be run. You're supposed to just debate and bicker over policy stuff, not try and kill each other! And we need to find a way to get this jerk and his people to stop.

Exactly!

Jesus fucking Christ.

Okay. So. We have a Hunter and Bagrat--or whoever--trying to bump off the competition. Great. Amazing.

[lunchleader]

Pretty sure we can tackle the Hunter without upsetting many people. We just need to find them first.

But Bagrat...Baadur thinks that he knows how to make him stop, but that requires talking to Zed for some reason.

[thornsofmalkav]

Why Zed, I wonder? Unless... you know, Zed is a banker. Maybe he's trying to get Zed to call in some loan of Bagrats, so he has to divert his campaign money to paying Zed off.

[lunchleader]

That's kind of what Baadur wants him to do. It's smart thinking, I'll admit. Zed really likes his shiny things, and some forms of money are in shiny metals, so I guess that fits how he is in this world.

He really doesn't want Bagrat to win.

[thornsofmalkav]

Which is legit. I mean, I'm mostly okay with Xigbar... Braig... Xigbraig? Well. The guy Bagrat is outside of Jaunts. Anyway, I'm mostly okay with him as a guy, but I wouldn't vote for him. Sarmatia deserves better.

[lunchleader]

Yeah, you don't want creeps in charge. That's how you end up with bad things happening all over the place.

[thornsofmalkav]

He's just kind of sleazy and all up in that organized crime bullshit, as far as I can tell. You don't want a dude like that as your prince. It would be like having a Giovanni.

[lunchleader]

Or a member of the Yakuza.

[That idea sends deep chills down his spine.]

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah.
