Althea glanced at her clipboard, looking down the list of names and frowning at the number of them. While she had a padded list of her own endorsements, Cove Merrick had gotten quite a handful as well.

Well. We'll see about that.

She marched up to the address listed beside the name Nereya Marlowe. From what Althea understood the citizen was young, still of reaping age but just barely, and perhaps had a malleable mindset. She'd cut Cove where it hurt- the very people that endorsed him. After a little chat, a bit of schmoozing, and whatever else it took she'd get them to change sides. Even if she had to take off her shoes and parrot cliches like her opponent.

The race was down to every effort and she was going to get those votes one way or another. She couldn't be beat out by someone like Cove. She just couldn't.

She knocked against the door, putting on her best welcoming but not too much smile. Her campaign smile. Her mayor's wife smile.

"Hello, I'm Althea Perch and I'm running for mayor. Can I take a little bit of your time to talk about the future of our district?"

I've set to cleaning the day's catch in our kitchen, hands covered in guts and fish scales, when I hear the knock at our door. There wasn't anybody I was expecting - Ma wouldn't have gotten back from the market yet, and the young'uns ought've been still outside. There's the figure of a woman, waiting outside our window; I set the fish down in order to open the door, not particularly bothering to pick off the scales sticking to my fingers.

"I'm Althea Perch and I'm running for mayor."

Most of the time I hear the word Perch it's to talk about fish that show up in the river. Political folk like that never came down to us, most of the time, and we never thought much about former mayor Fabian Perch or his wife either.

"Yeah, sure," I shrug at her. Of course, I doubt someone like her would end up doing much for us, even if she'd figured to go campaigning outside the Career academies. Maybe make it a little easier to get by, if our catches sold better.

"Yeah… You have to be careful when placing labels on good and evil, Celice. Never waste your anger on individuals. Always focus it on the evil within all of us."

The door opened and a young girl filled the frame. Her skin was darkened by the sun, and her frame was slim either from hard work or poor nutrition Althea wasn't sure. The smell of fresh fish cuts hit Althea right in the face. She took in a quick breath, trying to control her expression. The girl's hands were covered in slime and scales and blood. Just her timing. The girl threw out a "yeah, sure" and Althea fixed her smile. Glancing down at her notes she took a breath, through her mouth, and started into her spiel.

"It is important to me that every citizen is heard from and that everyone's struggles are identified and helped. It is important for the future of our district that we work together as a community to make our home the best it can be."

She looked back up at the girl, her smile too taunt on her lips.

"Do you have any concerns about our district?"
