Notes: Mmmmmaybe some mentions of cults and the not-nice things they can get up to if it comes up?
[The video opens with Mayuko standing in the midafternoon light of her parlor. Three humanoid ghosts (a man, a woman and a young girl) look on anxiously from the side, the girl holding the leash of a hound puppy to keep it from interrupting the shot. It's hard to tell what the fourth ghost, a large inky shadow with glowing eyes, is feeling but they're there, too. Mayuko clears her throat and begins:]
Citizens of Sunset Falls and fellow Starfallen,
I was looking forward to making an announcement about the upcoming White Heart Festival here in Sunset Falls in the near future. However, something rather urgent has been brought to the local government’s attention.
As confirmed by Loki Odinson in yesterday’s broadcast, Thor Odinson, his brother and a candidate for the upcoming mayoral contest, has been taken via Confluence. I knew… well, a different Thor from the one that was here, in another place. But I knew him to be a warm soul and a stalwart defender of his community. He will be missed.
[She allows a brief pause before continuing.]
The ordinances of Sunset Falls require that, should there, inexplicably, ever be a challenger for Mayor West’s post, at least one additional challenger must join the contest. Given the mandatory voting period is fast approaching, said bylaws include a provision that says a selection may be made from a roster of the most recent hires by the city, who have survived at least two months as residents and/or in their position.
Therefore, under Sunset Falls’ bylaws (and the stipulations recorded within my employment contract with the city), I formally acknowledge my selection by lot and do hereby announce my candidacy for mayor. I would enter the post with years of experience living and working in a place much like Sunset Falls. A place where the weird and the unfathomable occurred on a daily basis, and yet together, we carried on. I hope that we here continue in that vein, and I will strive to the best of my abilities to protect and support Sunset Falls.
[She pauses again, this time more from a loss for words. The feed audio briefly fills with static as one ghost offers a suggestion.]
Questions? I don't know how many answers I'll have, but questions are welcome! And of course, thank you for your consideration.

Good luck to you.
Re: ( video )
[That two candidates had put themselves forward in the first place had been world-shaking enough. Having to scramble a replacement had had the local government buzzing like a kicked hornet's nest. There hadn't been any time to waste.
The ghosts converse among themselves before the woman drifts to the side, out of shot. Evidently she'll play mod for the feed.]
Good luck to you, as well.

Yes, there are other words I could use.
[Most of them are four letters long.]
I expected to run for the school board back home, not the full executive. And not even that until I have the seniority. Or clout. The gods laugh as we make plans.

I'm not laughing all that much.
