Town Meeting

John awoke at his usual early hour on the morning of the town meeting. He dressed with slightly more than usual care in his suit of clothes from home, broke his fast with a light meal, and headed to the Golden Horseshoe to ensure that things were the way he wanted.

The chairs and small tables were already perfectly arranged, but John dragged a podium he found backstage out to the front of the curtain. Then he bustled about in the kitchen area setting out drinks and whatever small snacks he could find back there.

Before long, interested citizens began filing in and he went up to the podium. There was no microphone because he'd never heard of such a thing, but John Adams never had difficulty making himself heard.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome. If you would please pick up any refreshments you'd care for and take your seats, we'll begin in just a few minutes."

"I really doubt they set you on fire," Setsuna insisted, staring blandly at Leon. "I still don't trust you as a cop to protect any of better than we can protest ourselves. And you're still not needed. None of that changes just because you've dealt with a little super-natural power back home, where none of us could see you."

"I think I'd rather be set on fire," Leon muttered, running his hand through his hair. "But I'm sure they could if they had tried." He really had no idea what D's family was capable of. "And some organized body for investigations is needed, at least in my book. I need to get out of here as quick as possible, and the only way that's possible is if there's an organized body that's communicating their ideas, theories and findings to one another."

"Because nothing ever happens without a fascist state in place," sneered Logan, no longer bothering with being called on. "Bureaucracy being noted for its breakthroughs."

"You ain't listening," Setsuna muttered, suddenly losing all interest in the conversation. It was taking too long, and nothing was getting done. Needless to say, the kid wasn't a debate type.

"I'm sure you could have an organized body with everyone, and forget about the damn police force idea." So the kid said, but he was tugging on Kira's sleeve for his attention, and clearly getting ready to just go.
