[ it isn't like before; there is no fight to push her over the edge, nothing holding her back from release. she sinks into the warmth and weight of cassian surrounding her, how whole she feels, how settled and at home and on fire all at once.
time loses all meaning, it could be seconds or hours or days but she falls over the edge and takes cassian with her, dissolving into a puddle of pleasure with a keening cry.
she goes boneless, melting into the bed. ]

I wasn't. But it's foolish to suggest that you can only stop at just the one. It would be irresponsible to do so.
As it is, I believe we have a choice to make: one of idealism, or one that's pragmatic. I intend to make a proposal to the group, but given my last attempts, I suspect that most will ignore my overtures.
Hence a more direct approach.
When it comes to idealism or pragmatism, where do you stand? Or is that too open ended of a question for you?

Depends on the aim.
Idealism fuels resistance and rebellion. It offers something to fight for, to sacrifice for. It's a reason for people to keep moving forward when they feel mired in blood and loss.
I'm a realist. I don't see idealism working within politics, only power.

Wise. People only see idealism in their politicians when they want to project onto them. And if it becomes a part of the people's message for them, it can be twisted and changed into something more. I've seen it myself enough.
I believe it's probable that the people here will back the anti-establishment, anti-corporate candidate: Delafield-Chapin.
But I think that's foolish. We'd be putting the place we live in the hands of a mere novice.
More than that, we have enough clout to throw our weight behind a candidate. Thanks to Cassius' interventions, we got information on both Simone Durcell and Joseph Lynch. Help one of them get into office, and we'd have an ace up our sleeves.
Unless such a phrase is lost on you. That seems possible. Do you require context?
Never mind that. It's not a pretty solution or one I see our mindless band of idiots going along with, which is why I'm attempting the direct approach first.

[ she knows how to google stupid earth colloquialisms, akechi! ]
You were willing to put the place we live in the hands of a mere novice. Jovavich was a scientist, not a politician.
[ HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. ]
Assuming Durcell or Lynch would even be cowed by Cassius' intel, wouldn't a young upstart be a better investment in the long run?

Don't take employment to mean endorsement. She was a terrible politician.
[Akechi saw her as a point of intel, albeit one that proved more difficult to crack once he had her within reach. The fact that she seemed like a sure bet for employment at the time was a factor, too—if she had gotten into the main office, he would be in there as well. That was part of the aim. He could see the mess of a campaign quite easily once he got inside.
And then it became a problem of access.
It didn't help that she was reclusive.]
I think it's probable that Durcell may not be shaken by the intel. Many know of their supposed criminal ties, and if they're still in the running, it means that anything we have on them may not matter. But they're an opportunist, and we could present ourselves as that opportunity.
But Lynch is another story all together. The perfect politician, even if he hasn't held office. It's curious that the corporations haven't rallied behind him when he's a far more suitable pick. It could be that they know their choice would be shunned in this atmosphere. Or it could be that he's trouble for some in some way.
As for the young upstart, I fail to see how she would be able to succeed at governing. Ideals, beliefs, and hopes aren't enough to help stabilize this city. I fear for what may happen to New Amsterdam if we allow someone with little experience to step into office. You've heard of the decimation of North America, haven't you? I can easily see another necessary sacrifice in our future.
