Well, hey there folks.

[The Mayor sits in his room, smiling cheerfully down at his communicator. He's a nice-looking man with a friendly voice and a kindly demeanor.]

Wow - what an adventure, huh? [He raises a hand to forestall arguments.] Now, before anyone gets mad at me, I'm not saying, "Gee, it's great to be here." I've got plenty to get back to - heck, I'm the mayor of the greatest city there is, and I don't want it to have to get along without me! But that doesn't make this anything less than an adventure, and I say even if we're mad or sad or something we still make the best of it.

So let's start out with introductions! "We all already know each other," you're probably all groaning, and I say to that, settle down, let me catch up a little. I'm Mayor Richard Wilkins of Sunnydale. And I'm really glad to meet each and every one of you, and I'm looking forward to having more adventures with you all!

And now it's your turn. Be nice to me, and step forward and tell me your name and what you do here.

[mayormaynot]

Now, you might be right there, young lady.

[A warm smile.]

You ever heard of that Chinese curse?

[majestyofthethrone]

May you live in interesting times?

[heltersskelter]

seriously though, like, it's gotta be fucking boring if you're the face of the whole city because no offense, man, but nobody actually talks like that

text

[heltersskelter]

yeah, i tried to think of someone and there literally isn't anyone
even the other people from your city don't talk like that

[mayormaynot]

That's the one!

[He smiles like his own daughter just brought home an A-paper.]

I don't know about you, but I can see where they're coming from. But at the same time, well...Darn it all, but I can't help but enjoy a little bit of excitement when it comes.

[heltersskelter]

[majestyofthethrone]

[Awwwww he is so nice.]

Well, you'll get all the excitement you'll ever need.

I've been here for a while, if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help.

[heltersskelter]

[ he thinks about just watching this whole thing for a while, really does. but buffy never said that he couldn't talk to the guy, and let's face it even if she had, there's no way he's passing up on this. ]

Ain't you just a goddamn ray of sunshine.

[mayormaynot]

Say young man, do you know how to set up an automatic response system? Normally my secretary does that, but darn it all, looks like I don't have a secretary here!

[andyouwill]

It is quite a welcome diversion to make your acquaintance, Mayor Wilkins of Sunnydale. I hope you will in no way be offended if I say I have seldom encountered a sentient being so American as you appear to be.

[mayormaynot]

Well, I do have one. It's very important.

[mayormaynot]

I appreciate that sentiment, I really do! But I am going to have to warn you about your language there, young man. I just don't like talking with people who curse.

[majestyofthethrone]

Yes?

[growling]

[ Okay, so the smile is now half unsure/at the Mayor's expense, because he just said 'yuck', and Josh is pretty sure it wasn't even ironically. ]

Ithaca. [ Err. ] Or Boston. Mostly Boston, 2013. Anyone filled you in on the fickle nature of time here yet?

[ she already knew some form of a broadcast would show up on the network, having learned of the mayor's appearance from faith, but it still makes her pause for a moment before flicking on the video feed. she'd considered leaving it alone, probably the more intelligent option, but it's difficult to resist. ]

Don't you mean ex-mayor? [ :) ]

voice;

[mayormaynot]

Offended?

[He beams.]

Heck, that's quite a compliment! I'm proud to be American, and I always have been. Now, let me guess from your accent...England?

[mayormaynot]

Where would I go about finding gummy bears?

[mayormaynot]

I mean it. Final warning, and then I'm turning this doohickey off.
