Five more Denizens emerged from the darker corners of the room. Their lab coats were varying degrees of ragged, and some were sporting featureless masks with a single spike through the center. They held a variety of spikes in their hands, or in one case, claws. They were unmistakably from the R&D Department. 

"We were passing through the local shadows and sensed that some spiking might be happening."

One raised its head and sniffed the air.

"With our department head missing for the last few years, we've been a little, unorganized. " The lead Denizen continued. He had 4 arms, and they appeared to be mostly made out of flesh. "So, is it just the one subject or are there more," he licked his lips "volunteers?"

[MacThorstenson he/him]

The Denizen looked up from where he was threading the spike through the mans cheek. "Uh right now we have just one. If you want to get someone go ahead, but I would suggest making sure that they are actually volunteers because we don't have proper restrainment equipment." The scientist shoved the spike through the cheek for the 10th time, then burn a little steel to see if it was any more invested. Nope.

[Fatebreaker he/him]

The Denizen nodded and the other members of R&D scuttled into the surrounding area. He then turned to the fellow who had swiped the spike.

"You may want to return that, I'd hate for the Reclaimations Department to get ahold of a perfectly good test subject  like you. It may beunvested, but they can be picky about these sorts of things."

One of the four arms that appeared to be covered in some sort of chitinous material reached into the lab coat and pulled out some a clipboard with some paperwork on it.

"But if you're interested, we're always accepting applications. "

Keleth looked around in mounting horror at what was unfolding in front of him.  When one of the Denizens began spiking a test subject, he cried out in desperation, "I propose a bill!"  He looked around, to see how his message was received, then continued, "This bill will restrict when and where the DA my use expiremental Hemalurgy.  Restricted areas will include city-owned buildings, such as this one."

“I second that,” Terrel said.

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

"I give you my support. After this bill, we need to discuss the Precursors," Doom horn said.

SERIOUSLY! WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THEM! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS, AND NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER BILL!

 

[MacThorstenson he/him]

Several members of the DA contingent started chuckling. 

In order to make a law to govern a group you had to be able to control that group first.

A number of mask-wearing folk clapped. 

"Three cheers for the DA!" one shouted, and they all broke into revelry.

Poll is up.
If you're not a representative for a guild please don't try to vote, I'll just be removing them anyway.

Why thank you Voidus.

The young boy from the DA continued to smile confidently as the bill was propose and voted upon. Idly he twirled a small spike in one hand, looking out eagerly at the crowd of representatives.

[MacThorstenson he/him]

The scientist spiking the man continued to do so.

[Vargo Seldon he/him]

Keleth watched on with barely concealed amusement.  Have your fun now DA, he thought, Because it will soon come to an end.  The government building shenanigans were about to become a thing of the past.

We can't see the polls if we don't vote. Could you guys every once in a while post an update on the bills?

The masked figures continued reveling.

Keleth sighed.  "I suppose once the vote is done, we should focus our efforts on approving the Precursors." He said.  "But first, we should discuss the wisdom of privatizing a police force."

Could we make future polls public? It would be more fun if we could see who's voting for what.

In the interests of avoiding retaliation for voting on contentious subjects I've been avoiding making them public. If that's what everyone would like to do then we can make them public in future.

Keleth looked around.  "Is nobody going to discuss the Precursors?  Because I have an idea.  We need to have the precursors under the jurisdiction of three individuals, but make it so that a majority wins.  That way, we don't have monopolization of a police force, and decisions can happen quickly."

The White rose monk looks at something, nods, then steps forward, “I have just received word that the Ghostbloods have started an unprovoked attack on our main cathedral. Would you care to explain yourselves?”
