A well-groomed and well-dressed citizen in his late 30s stood at the Carmine Auction House's stage welcoming all who entered. Next to him, on the podium, was a blank box with a slot. A few citizens of the nation sat down at the available chairs some, partaking on the provided cookies and coffee that was displayed in the corner. The man had a strong voice, clear of any accents.
This meeting was the talk of the town for the political and non-political. Posters and fliers advertising the group seemed to get into the hands and trash bins of every settlement. The leader of it all, Wallace Windsor, even talked and invited on radio air ' ANY Toro Citizen may and is encouraged to take part of the open debate - in an attempt to raise awareness of the problems of Toro. There will be free coffee and cookies - provided by The Little Pine Bakery!'
" Welcome to the first public meeting of the Toro's Activism Group! " the man announces as people settled down, " I will first explain what this is all about. " he takes a deep breath and starts, " Toro is a growing nation, in settlements, and people." he speaks confidently and with a certain passion "Problems arise though, and this is what this meeting is for, to discuss, debate, to raise awareness, and to try and solve these problems...! So to start it all off, " he digs a hand into the earlier mentioned box and pulls out a slip, which he reads out.
" What should we do about the increase of destruction and violence in Toro caused by Team Noir and Reaper Z? "
The man scans the crowd before gesturing to a young looking woman sitting at the end of an aisle.
" Lets start with you, Mrs. LeGrand. " he tacks on with a charismatic smile.
Maggie LeGrand perked up, hearing her name announced. ' Oh no, what was the question again? ' she thought as she grew nervous about being thrown into the spotlight on such an important issue.
Seeing the woman's nervousness he softens his expression and speech as he repeats simply, " What do you think we should do about Team Noir and Reaper Z? "
" Oh! " the mother wiggles to a stand and starts to bow in several directions before starting up, " Well, I think... we should try to get as much information about them as possible and end their villaiey-v-villain " she struggles with her words before spluttering out " VILLAINY for good! " her cheeks grew red as she adds on, " I-I meant as long as it uh... follows the laws of Toro. . . " she looks around before lifting her head up and letting her thoughts out " I think they deserve second chances, to repent and such . . . but in prison. . . to pay for their crimes cause against our family and friends!" she mumbles a small 'thank you' before sitting back down, flustered.
" Thank you, Mrs. LeGrand, also thank you for providing the snacks! " he wondered how many came just for the cookies. Wallace looked across the room and announces," Anybody else wish to share their opinions? "
