In reply to: CW 's message, ""What we need to do is find out" on 21:09:32 10/15/01 Mon

...the mayor is assigning tasks to the others. Clapping her hands, "Ok, people, I'm still looking for a newspaper reporter!"

Kande jumps up and down directly in front of the mayor, waving her arms wildly. "Pick me! Pick me!"

"Anyone? No? No one is interested?" The mayor ignores Kande with a practiced air. "Well, I'll do that one myself. Now, I need someone to go into the sewer system to make sure the IG clones are not down there." She surveys the crowd, then her eyes land on Kande. "Didn't I see your hand up?"

"Uh...no?"

"Sure I did. Here - put on these hip waders and get to work."

Kande grumbles and puts on the boots. She heads off to the sewer system still not sure how the mayor managed to bamboozle her. "When I figure this out, she is in BIG trouble!"

"Now...who's next?" The mayor looks directly at CW. "CW, dearie, is there anything in particular you'd like to do or shall I come up with something for you?" The mayor gives her a sickeningly sweet smile. CW is having none of it.

"Don't you even think of sending me off to perform one of your dirty deeds." CW shakes a knitting needle in the mayor's face. "If it weren't for me, you'd still be knitting 6-fingered gloves and sweaters that would only fit a hunchback."

"Ok, then, how would you like to contribute?" The mayor knows when she's been beaten.

"I have my own ideas." CW smirks, something you just don't see every day.

"I'd like to hear your own ideas," the mayor says through gritted teeth. "Just to be sure efforts aren't being duplicated, you understand."

CW takes a sip from her knitting needle. "All right, I'll tell you." She pats the seat next to her. "Grab your needles and sit down. This is going to take awhile."

The mayor sighs and sits down. How did she ever come to be mayor of a burg full of strong-willed citizens? Except for the morono sisters, of course. Oh well. Maybe CW has some good ideas she can later claim were her own. She suddenly realizes CW has been talking and decides she better listen, or at least *look* like she's listening.

"...and when an IG clone puts on the pink toe socks, we'll..."
