American readers, now that Bennett’s flag-based speech has got you in a patriotic mood, make sure you’re registered to vote! Whatever your political persuasion, this form will get you started:
Walker: But you, sir, have not been swayed. This bill you’re pushing would be harsh. Not just for the Rabbit, but for all Beings.
Bennett: That’s right! This measure will require all Beings traveling and operating in the U.S. to be registered, and place various restrictions on their movements, as well as the actions of their Masters. That includes you, Ms. Walker, and your little tiger, too. My principles here are too strong to provide for exceptions of any kind. Even if you were to make a generous donation to my re-election fund, I wouldn’t be swayed.
Walker: I didn’t come here to bribe you, Mr. Bennett.
Bennett: Well, good!
. . .
Because I can see how it would be tempting, considering that you have insane amounts of money, much of which is just collecting dust in off-shore tax shelters . . .
Walker: But, Congressman — I love the bill as it is!
Bennett: . . . What?
Walker: I think it’s fabulous that it’s so strict. In fact, I came down to Washington to ask in person if you’d realized how you might benefit by making it even stricter.
(It might be a good idea not to use a form that will deliver spam to people’s email addresses. As I know from experience, once you get on one mailing list, you start getting signed up for a ton of others you may not want. Here’s info for anyone who wants to do their own non-partisan get out the vote drive in the community, which is an awesome thing to do: http://www.npccny.org/info/adv8.htm.)
Bennett’s speech needs music in the background. Trying to decide which one. Also love the “but you want to give me money, right? Right?” wink wink side. I wonder if he’s trying to set her up to be video taped (as he had Cybele attempt to do before) or if he actually wants the money.
He seems to mentally be double guessing himself.
LE GASP!
That settles it, Walker knows what Bennett played, now she’s just trying to tighten the noose around his neck while he flaps in the breeze, her words are too well chosen to just be a “I like your bill” bit.
Well! This was not what I was expecting!
A registry would be great for Walker. It’d be easier to find Beings to battle and experiment on.
reading through the arvhive, the nazi’s killed one thing keeps coming back to me.
The Nazi thing makes me ponder the limits of the Being’s regeneration; seems they need to eat to heal.
So can they survive beheading? being set on fire? Drowning? I’d imagine long before the Nazies someone would have attempted these, the Inquisition seems like a good bet to have tried anything including grinding them up *which they did to humans*.
Then again, I wander if like Kami, death means something different to a Being and they simply reincarnate to start over if someone manages to destroy them.
