The District Equality Party

In effort to cultivate a new political party and pressure the capitol to give more voice to districters, Vasco has sent out phone calls, letters, and invitations to meet with current mayors and mayoral candidates.

His invitation includes a description of his newly formed political party: The District Equality Party, or DEP for short.

DEP has a short list of political positions:

1. Equality among districters (equitable resources for all)
2. Open borders and travel (no visas required)
3. A voice in the National Panem government (A seat on the high council)
4. Reconciliation of "district debt" - a sunset of the games. (To be negotiated with the council)

Interviewer Crescent Caroul smiles, observing Sno Cone's outfit. "Love those shoes- I remember people going crazy for them a couple seasons ago!" Tone shift. "You recently endorsed Vasco Izar for a place on the Capitol's High Council- why do you think it's a good idea for someone from the Districts to have a place at the table, and why do you think that person should be Mr. Izar? Please speak clearly into the microphone for our viewers at home." She giggles.

"retro is all the rage now a days hun." sno is a little perturbed that this girl had the audacity to call her shoes last season. a true backhanded compliment. if they werent in such a public place, they would think about reading the reporter for filth. she was a queen though after all, and she didnt want to besmirch that title of theirs. "my momma always told me to think outside of the box, which is why ive held onto my pageant title of so long..." sno looks to the camera and then back to the hellish girl. "... sure, they are from the districts, but if they are crazy enough to think that they can take the spot from a capitol citizen?" sno giggles. "thats the type of delulu i live for. sign me up, daddy has my vote." she flips wig up as she walks away, not sure if it hit the girl in the face. they wouldnt have cared otherwise.

Speech

[marguerite harvard d2a (zori)]

Public Opinion Rolls

1. The announcement of your campaign makes front-page news.

byX|Xpm2vX1-3

... probably accurate all things considered.

2. You're complimented for your custom-made outfit.

1-5
1-5

... also probably was gifted something because Vasco is not... fashion.

3. Panem Living does a piece about your house in their upcoming issue.
1-7

Capitolites gawk and wonder "do people really live like that in the districts?"

4. A sketch from a televised weekly comedy show about you goes viral.
1-9



Capitol Sketch Brigade lampoons Vasco by having an AI version of him say incomprehensible things about the districts.

5. A white dove lands on your podium during a speech.
1-11
1-11

White doves and Vasco? Seems a little on the nose.

6. You are trending for two weeks straight on Snowbyrd.
1-20



All it takes is a grainy video of his youth and Snowbyrd explodes. At least he finally knows what a 'short king' is, though it's going to take him more than two weeks to get over what some of them have said...

7. You receive a lucrative offer from a publishing company to write a memoir.
1-50



Faith in the Unseen due out in '96!

8. A billboard you didn't pay for is posted with your face and campaign slogan on it.

Guess the billboard wasn't in the cards. Still, 7/8 ain't bad. I'm going to say that Vasco's outsider candidacy might be raising a lot of eyebrows in the capitol...
