[ March's voicemail message will be the standard sort for a while, and expect replies from him to be slow/strange as he tries to understand this Modern Age.

[idesof]

Is that so?

[Pardon the low, near conspiratorial nature of his voice, won't you?]

You'll be moving to step into the position, I assume.

[baetiful]

I shall.

[ He's been gunning for this position since he found out about it upon arrival. Petyr absolutely will not let this opportunity pass by. ]

I am running against a man who goes by the name Count Dooku thus far. Do you know of him?

[idesof]

I met him at the Castile's grand opening. A charming man with a fine taste in clothing. You may have your work cut out for you.

[baetiful]

He has had more time in this world. More time to make valuable allies, unfortunately.

[ Worrisome if March is calling him charming. Maybe Petyr cannot bank on his ghostly friend's support after all. But he has to try. ]

My platform will be largely aimed toward helping businesses flourish within Maurtia Falls, trying to get tax breaks and incentives for any imPort run businesses within our city. As the former Master of Coin, money is what I know best.

[idesof]

[Nah. Recognizing qualities in any opponent is part of the game, isn't it? Know thy enemy and all. To say Dooku hadn't charmed him would be a lie, and lies of that nature surely wouldn't help in a move to win.]

That will come in your favor. Money motivates the world. [Petyr has probably noticed that by now. Like. Maybe fifty times.] I wish you success, Lord Baelish. Is there anything I can do?

[baetiful]

Yes, actually. I was wondering if Castile would be available for a sort of political party? I intend to utilize my venues as well, of course. But a gentleman's club and a casino combined do not measure up to the venue you've created for yourself. It could be yet another way to introduce business as well as send my message across.

[idesof]

Certainly! [Enthusiastic as ever, but oh wait.] Provided the dates fall sometime other than June tenth and eleventh, that is. We would be honored to host for you.

[baetiful]

Ah, yes. Of course. Dorian's wedding, correct? June shall be quite the month for your business.

[idesof]

Correct. [And then a brief pause. For drama. For the effect of "sharing secrets no one else knows."] I've been contemplating an arrangement of my own the evening of the twentieth. Perhaps best to keep that date in mind as well, Lord Baelish, as you will be invited.

[baetiful]

[ Oh! An exclusive invite? Or at least that's what this sounds like. ]

What's the occasion? Or would asking that ruin the surprise you have in store?

[idesof]

Bringing together some like-minded individuals.

[He'd had Dooku in mind for it, too...though now perhaps it would be even better to go through with a watered down Devil's Night if only to see how the two of them interacted. Or didn't. But that only brought to mind:]

Unless you feel that would be unfitting for a man running for the position you are.

[baetiful]

Hardly. Look at the city I am seeking to represent. I should hope I appeal to more like-minded individuals.

[ Of course, the whole thing will conflict with election day anyway so Petyr won't be able to make it. But he has every intention of going at the moment! ]

I fear the worst for Maurtia Falls if someone other than me were to claim the role as ambassador. They may get foolish ideas such as Revan had, to change our city for what they personally view as better.

[idesof]

[Okay but what if they both showed up for an evening the day after, the potential to watch a show featuring Winner and Loser would be absolutely perfect. And when March finds out his date may make things difficult, there's always the possibility to change it. Who doesn't like free entertainment???]

An unpleasant outcome, to be sure. [With alternatives like moving to Heroworld, a city with an underbelly needs to flourish, not be put in a stranglehold.] The Castile shall be yours when you require it, Lord Baelish. We can decorate and cater to your liking as well. Whatever you need to help secure your place that I can provide, I happily will.

[baetiful]

I greatly appreciate that, James. I will be certain to pay you well for your assistance. And I hope I can count on your support in this election to come.

[ Vote for this charming slightly younger old guy instead of the other charming old guy. He'll gladly let you keep murdering to your heart's content, March! ]

[idesof]

Of course. [Confident, immediate. One vote in his pocket (he'll write down a reminder to vote otherwise he might forget it's been that long) so far.] Should you need a place to hold celebration after, I do hope you know where you'll be welcomed.
