Lionel slipped through the crowd and walked back up stage. He took his seat at Julian Mason's side. Julian smiled as the members of the Good People Company stood next to him, giving the crowd their full attention.
"Good evening everyone and welcome," Julian began, "My name is Julian Mason and as I'm sure you all know, I'm running for mayor of Portland, Oregon.

Julian sat back in his tall seat and crossed his legs, "I don't sit here and bore you all with long tirades. I want to hear the people's concerns, so lets start with questions."
A young man with thick glasses and a large notepad raised his hand.
Julian pointed to him, "Yes, you sir. Go ahead."
