Nikki,

Let’s say we’re taking the laws we’ve written out and presenting them to the body of people we’re intending to govern. How does that work? Do we just show up and say, “Here are some new laws. I have six council positions available. Who do you want to vote in?”

I read the message through four times. Each email had been getting harder and harder to write. Not because I didn’t have questions, but because phrasing them in a way that wouldn’t make Nikki develop a Cindy-like suspicion became more difficult as we got down to the tiny details.

I added, Some of the people involved like to argue over petty things, and I want to make sure they don’t have a reason to hold the action up.

“It’s the best I could grab.”

I tapped send and shoved my phone into my pocket as Devon handed me a wrap. I was still trying to avoid reading the dozen or so messages from my parents where neither of them mentioned what had happened but both seemed to be very concerned with how I was doing and when I’d have time to talk.

“Thanks.” I’d been left to stand with our suitcases while Eric tried to arrange transport, which I hoped made him regret ditching Cindy, Devon went to find food, and Elizabeth went to buy a guidebook, which I know sounds weird but was actually really important.

“Is it lazy if I really hope the books are near a port?” Devon said. “Or at least an airport?”

“I’m sure they are. They’d have to be. How else could you move thousands of books?”

I ate my wrap, watching the other people on the dock being herded into cabs. Some of them were tired, others excited, a few super angry about something. But I was willing to bet none of them were in the process of overthrowing an evil regime and forming a new government.

My phone dinged with a new email from Nikki.

Hi Bryant,

The player in me says you’re the DM, you make the rules.

But if you want to go for realism and practicality, it would depend on how you’d taken control of the area. If you’ve won a battle, then as the conqueror, you have seized the right to lay out a new code of law. If you’re trying to peacefully change things, you would have to put your constitution out there and let the people vote.

In my experience, taking the area by force would move things along more quickly.

Nikki
