| Message | "There is absolutely nothing wrong with large decisions being made by local governments. It is the local community, after all, whose lives these things will impact. If a village in the mountains wants to keep out a foreign investor... uh... federalism ... uhhh... *choke*... *gag*... I I I I I... laissez-faire! Laissez-faire! The capitalists can go anywhere! ... umm ... gibber gibber goop goop goop! Smash 'em! Smash 'em! ... *choke gag choke* ... Yes, my Lady, yes, my Lady, yes, my Lady... *choke* ... the ELF ... save ... must..." Akira Hito, Rep from the Central Ingomu electoral district, collapses to the floor and starts writhing about. His ELF colleagues ignore him. "As our comrade here was saying, the Erisian Liberation Front is working on some policy changes, and... ha ha ha... apparently this is difficult for some of our members to digest. He will be fine, folks, you wait and see. He just needs to 'recharge' his 'batteries.'" - Anna Alkonost, rep from Belgae South The ELF caucus erupts in laughter. Shouts of "typical male!" and "get him a sex change!" accompany the raucous laughter, hooting, hollering and banging. "All he needs is a little snoo-snoo!" "Ha ha ha. Well, we are going to sit this one out for a while. Perhaps we'll wait for Akira to come back another day and debate this. Ha ha ha ha ha!" - Anna Alkonost |

| Message | *A nearby Daio representative, by the name of Aguma Hito, hand at the hilt of his ceremonial weapon, moves cautiously to the fallen man, giving a threatening glare to anyone that gets within two meters.. He picks up his younger sibling, and leaves the floor in complete silence, all of the remaining Daio representatives having stood quietly in unison, staring firmly at the pair as they leave.* |
