Civic: The recent repeal of the Offenses to Civility laws take center-stage this time, especially as the winter seasons are the most common time when it's evoked. Some people argue that the repeal was a good thing, but the most obvious thing noticed is an increase in aggression in general, as the push for free speech is also being used to encourage trouble-makers to start fights. the search for some sort of solution to this problem is something that has to be approached by the city as a whole.
District: The Water Season always marks a very special time for Underton: As drug prices are taxed quite highly throughout Whitewall, a certain business becomes quite popular this time of year: Alcohol smuggling. Getting involved in the trade would be a huge boost to your influence, whether you help reduce the smuggling, or increase it.
Put everything straight into abiding by our Civic duties. We need to both protect free speech while keeping everyone able to actually deal with Civility. Let's use our newfound power to push through a new law. We'll still allow disobedience and all of that, but the thing is there's an official law allowing it to be punishable by a pie to the face. That way the important stuff will still get through, but people who just want to stir up trouble will think better of it when they're covered in delicious apple. Nobody wants to fight after taking a pie to the face, right?
But! To do that, we have to plan. We'll use our guy and our underground friends to drum up support. We'll call it the 'Pie law bylaw' to give it a catchy title that everyone can remember. It's a fair and balanced solution that'll give us what we want-and even better my organization would be more than happy to offer a discount on any sudden governmental call for pies. Everyone wins! We'll lobby for it with flash mobs where a bunch of people show up, hand out pies with pamphlets talking about how great the plan is, and vanish.
And of course, pie to the face for the opponents. PIES FOR LIES is still a valid strategy.
M-meanwhile, I guess I can help by trying to put a stop to the alcohol smuggling. Since alcohol has water in it, I should be able to use my water manipulation spells to help in searching for contraband by trying to pull all the water in a vehicle into an orb in my hand. You can't drink pure alcohol, after all, you'd ruin the taste.
And I guess any other free time we have will be spent selling pies around the Under. [Nodnod.]
you have successfully locked down the government, congratulations! Unfortunately, it will be hard to tell if your plan went through until the situation's resolved.
Also unfortunately, you didn't manage to put a significant dent in the alcohol smuggling ring, which seems to be growing by the day. You gain some respect for what little you did manage, however.
