Why I, Leslie Knope, am a good candidate for panfandom RP.

[mrsjoebiden]

Why is Dreamwidth RP right for me? ... Really, I can't think of a better place for me to be. Besides the Parks department. And also, the White House. So maybe it's the third best place for me to be.

There is a desperate, desperate need for organizing large groups of people in RP, and I have shown time and time again that I am organized and a people person. All you'd need to do is go to one of my public forums to see that. Just... if you go, try to stay on topic. We've had enough people asking about the raccoon problem this month, even though we devoted three whole forums to that already.

Does it matter that my player hasn't even finished the second season? Of course not! The people here need a leader, and I, Leslie Knope, elect myself to be the first President of Dreamwidth RP. Well, I'll cast a vote, anyway. I only get one vote.

[aggressiveapathy]

Mm. Well. I vote for a ruthless, extra bloody take over. For a new Dreamwidth RP Empire.

[mrsjoebiden]

... Thank you, April, democracy will take that into consideration.

[aggressiveapathy]

That's not how coups work.

[mrsjoebiden]

Well, this is America. We can vote on how this coup will work.

[aggressiveapathy]

I see your coup and raise you a bloody take-over.

With dinosaurs riding tanks.

[mrsjoebiden]

I see your tanks, and raise you Hillary Clinton with a bill outlawing gas for tanks!

[aggressiveapathy]

My dinosaurs eat your ancient queen. Then take over the moon.

[mrsjoebiden]

Hillary Clinton is not an ancient queen! Yet. I'm sure she could be if she wanted to, but she has a higher set of values than that.

[lieutenantantichrist]

Great, another goddamn bureaucrat.

Nobody needs you telling them what to do, lady.

[mrsjoebiden]

All complaints about bureaucracy may be directed to the fourth floor. Besides, as leader of the Parks department, I have been able to get many things done in my career.

[lieutenantantichrist]

Oh, the Parks Department. I didn't know I was talking to somebody with all the responsibility of fishing dead possoms out of fountains.

[mrsjoebiden]

Yes, you are. Those possums can be a hazard for the kids if we don't get them out quickly enough.

[lieutenantantichrist]

Yeah, sounds like a real important job.

Call me when it's a dead hobo and we'll talk.

[mrsjoebiden]

Ahh, to be fair, I didn't know you last week, and also the hobo in question had a job. About a week previously.

[lieutenantantichrist]

Sounds like you have a nice town.

[mrsjoebiden]

I'll have you know that the hobo is well-respected in his community when he's not digging his dinner out of the garbage!

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake just looks at her for a while.]

Lady, you are something else.

[absolute_kold]

I must ask. What purpose does this serve?

[mrsjoebiden]

I'm sorry? [ Purpose? You need a purpose to govern? ]

[absolute_kold]

This address of yours. What purpose does it serve when there are too many here - myself included - that think you are nothing more than an ignorant blowhard?

[He knows all about governing. However, governing a clan of assassins isn't quite the same as being a politician.]

[mrsjoebiden]

I've found the desire of the people to do away with government quickly falls away when their parks are turned into gaping pits.

[absolute_kold]

[Kuai rolls his eyes and waves a hand behind him, forming a chair of ice for him to take a seat on.]

We have no parks here to threaten.

[mrsjoebiden]

Even better. We can make some! Where's the nearest gaping pit?

[absolute_kold]

There are none.

[His interest in you has now shifted to morbid curiosity.]

[mrsjoebiden]

Well, if there's one thing the world needs more of, it's gaping pits. That can then be turned into parks.

[absolute_kold]

...Are you suggesting we give people free license to blow up whatever they please to facilitate your parks?

[mrsjoebiden]

No! That's definitely not what I was suggesting!

... That's sort of what I was suggesting, isn't it? Never mind. Suggestion rescinded.

[absolute_kold]

[He facepalms and sighs.]

This is why I despise politicians.

[mrsjoebiden]

Hold on. Don't panic! We can do the same thing with empty lots! There, problem solved. We'll turn all the flat spaces we can find into parks.

[shoeshines]

Ooh, ooh! Leslie? Leslie! How many votes do I get?

[mrsjoebiden]

Andy, we talked about this at the last election, you only get one. Even if your second persona is an FBI agent.
