Characters: Aisha Clanclan and . . . the Mayor?
Format: Prose, I guess?
This log is: Closed
Location: The mayor's house.
Summary: Aisha decides to take another visit to off-limits property. Man, that's popular with the White 1-A crowd.
Warnings: Not that I can think of?
Aisha slipped off after her last class, telling Gino she'd be back in a few hours. She was curious about a few things, and couldn't just let that stand, as it was.

So, basket in hand, she knocked on the door to the Mayor's mansion. It was off-limits and all, but she wasn't trying to attack or do anything aggressive, for once. What kind of Mayor wouldn't talk to a citizen of their city? As the scent of fresh cheddar biscuits (yes, working in a restaurant had advantages sometimes) wafted in the air, she wondered if she'd even get an answer.

Even if she didn't, it wouldn't keep her from coming back. After all, it's not like she had much else to do.

"Yes there was, and we did." As had the mayor before her, and the one before that, and before that. Who knew how many times this system had repeated itself. At the final question her smile faded and she turned serious for a moment.

"We are for you. Always. Even though it wont always seem that way. Sometimes you will hate us. But remember that, we are on your side."

Okay. Her expression gets rather serious, turning this over in her head. If they were for them, then why the rules and the show and the . . . it seemed off, but she seemed honest. So Aisha went with her guts and decided-

"So what went wrong? Or right? I mean, there's not a whole lot of people here besides us now."

"Right. We won." She smiled, "And you will to, believe me the rules are for your own good." They really were, though Lee had been annoyed as everyone else by them.

"So winning is possible, and leaving is possible, but we all . . ." Okay Aisha, think girl. What obvious piece of the puzzle are you missing?

"But you're still stuck here, how's that fair?"

Dunleavy nodded, "Leaving is possible providing you win yes." She shrugged and looked sad for a moment. "The game requires sacrifices, someone has to provide the power needed for the others to ascend."

"Aisha's sorry." It felt like it needed to be said. It was a good thing to do, better than you could expect most people, and it softens her up quite a bit.

"You did make sure they thanked you, right?"

"You don't have to be sorry, we all made our choices and I had my reasons."

Final battles had the disadvantage of being dangerous, and Lee didn't just have her own life to preserve.

Damn Karish.

"Of course, do you believe Lopez would sacrifice herself for anyone without due recognition?"
