Notices were posted and messages were delivered....Lady Wilder would be holding her first actual press conference. A small warehouse on the edge of the Marketplace had been rented for the event, and security was tight. Anyone could attend, but no weapons were allowed. The Templar Magi were present in force to prevent any magickal mischief or combat. It would only be for a few hours, but there would be no teleporting....no invisibility....just people, meeting as equals, and asking questions of the Candidate.
Not surprisingly, a fair number of the Templar's supporters made up the crowd. The members of the Press were provided a separate area, so they would be able to hear things clearly and take notes.
Karen stepped up to the podium amid cheers and smiled warmly at the crowd. After a minute, she raised her hands and asked for quiet...."We're gonna be 'ere all day otherwise." she added with a chuckle.
"Tae begin, I've a few statements..."
"I wish tae renew me call tae me fellow candidates thet this remain a campaign based on issues, nae on negativity."
"I call upon th' citizens o' this great city tae ask th' hard questions o' m'self an' all the candidates. Learn about all o' us, so ye kin choose th' candidate thet best suits ye."
"There've been many sayin' it's better tae vote fer noone....tae 'ave no governor....But will they be th' ones who stop th' murders" Will they be th' ones tae fight invaders?"
"Now, I'll be answerin' any questions from th' Press or from ye in th' crowd."
