{Speech}

Read it and weep, y'all.

Peacekeeper Nightlocke Helmsby approaches Courtney Persimmon. "Miss Persimmon, I need a moment of your time. You've endorsed Sampson Izar for Mayor. What makes you think he's a worthy candidate?"

COURTNEY PERSIMMON

She startled, just a twitch of her upper lip and a jolt to her heart, when the Peacekeeper stopped her in the district center. She'd run out of her own money and had been begging and thieving from the food stalls. She really needed a job but couldn't bring herself to admit that she needed help; it never occurred to her that she could be arrested, but now, confronted with Peacekeeper Helmsby, her stomach growling, she was ready to fight.

But he only wanted to know about the Izar boy. She laughed, upending her cramped stomach. "He's here. That's a lot better than my deadbeat cousin. I guess we're all settling for scraps these days." She took two steps. Thought of Sampson's large dark eyes and weighted last name. Paused. "If I were you, I'd worry less about what makes someone qualified and more about what makes someone unqualified."

Sampson Izar, Public Opinion 

#1: 50% of the Public approves of you: Snap polls reveal your anti-establishment, populist tone resonates (success)
#2: Kiss a baby and it doesn’t cry: You've always been good with your little cousins, this is easy (success)
#3: Meet secretly with your rival candidates and spin the media to your side: You have no trouble meeting with the other conspirators, but something tells you your speeches and message are not favored by all (success)
#4: Pass a thorough physical inspection from the Peackeepers: Alfer spotted them from a ways, and you are too sly to fail that easily (success)
#5: Print your speech in the local paper to rave reviews: You spend a good deal of time telling everyone the truth: district eleven is a dump, and that things are not as good as they used to be. Papers fly off the shelves, and you gain momentum.
#6: Avoid a scandal implicating you with a local beauty: Your heart has always been on your sleeve; you care little about sex and other distractions (success)
#7: Successfully raise $1,000 in campaign funds: You had thought this would be the biggest challenge, but money seems to come from dark places across the district (success)
#8: Your campaign posters are given an art award: it's nothing perfect, but who are you to judge? (success)
#9: A former Mayor plans to endorse another candidate, but you convince her to support you instead: How or why you'll never know - perhaps she just wants to see things fall apart or, perhaps she thinks more of you than you'll know. For whatever reason, she gives you her endorsement. (success)
#10: President Snow sends you a video message, commending you on your spotless campaign: He is not kind in his words. He tells you that there will be consequences for anyone that dare defy the capitol, and that he is pleased to see that you are taking the election so seriously. (success)
#11: A few days before the vote, a team of volunteers goes door to door on your behalf, drumming up support and allowing you to rest: Sadly, a spot of rain has you call off your volunteers, but you'll press onward. After all, you feel as though victory might be more than just a joke at this point (failure)

10/15 completed successully!
