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.

[And the Mayor gives a bit of a shrug.] Won't hear me disagreeing. But that's what the jail's for. Where are you from, young man?

If the common understanding of our plight is to be believed, we are all in a sense aliens aboard the Tranquility. I may say, however, that I am neither human nor of Earth.

[ Someone does not enjoy having to deal with even the sight of your face, but hey, that's fine, he can just snarl and have to try really hard not to vamp out. ]

You and I? We need to talk.

[Oh well hi there! Been a while, been a while. The Mayor's smile doesn't even flag upon seeing good old Angel, though he does give a little nod of recognition.]

Well, I've never been one to avoid chatting! It's good to see you looking so well.

[Yup. Go right ahead.]

[jilt]

Two politicians aboard-- Petrelli can finally have his space election.

...I hope you don't mind if I take a New Yorker's stand on the 'greatest city' bit, by the way.

[ wow somebody's pulling a sinatra melded with cary grant vibe as hard as he can here. ]

A jail is all it takes to keep your town in check?

In that case, you may also wish to meet Nathan Petrelli, our resident Senator. As for myself, I was Sheriff of my Area in Texas, but not the kind you are probably accustomed to. Are you familiar with vampires in your world, Mayor Wilkins?

[ Only a tiny bit creeped out, really. ]

Funny story, actually. If you ever get home, it won't matter what you've learned here. But hey, at least Ross and Rachel will still be a pleasant surprise, right?

[unparental]

...and suddenly, Junior League meetings in the living room flashbacks.

[ but she's amused more than anything else. ]

[ somehow, the chipper attitude ranks above cliche villainous speeches in the annoying category. dryly: ]

Huh. I figured you'd be the type of guy who eats kids for breakfast instead, but color me surprised.

[lifewithoutrest]

That's quite an optimistic view. [She studies him for a long moment, trying to read him.] Rather cheerful for a man who's just been abducted from his home.

NOT HERE.

[ October doesn't necessarily have problems with people being cheery - to each their own - but no one should be that excited about being kidnapped and tossed onto a spaceship. It's weird. But she'll play nice and keep her "You must be crazy" judgement to herself. ]

Trust me, the adventures here aren't as enjoyable as you seem to think they'll be.

[mayormaynot]

[The Mayor laughs - ]

Now, that's a way to put it! Way you said it, sounds like you could use me to measure a length of string. But yup - I'm a "ruler."

[mayormaynot]

[Oh good someone in power]

Ohhh, so you're the young lady who's keeping everyone from going completely off their rockers. They given you any medals yet?
