Re: [RP] Birmingham Revolt

It had been a long hard journey back from Worcester
Deekay and Arefin had been carrying out a trade mission for the town, and were now returning with a sack of money, having sold the town's corn.

While they were there, they had received disturbing news - cousin Slater had been ejected from the town hall, back home.

They had left the jocular mayor and his friends and hurried back.

The town felt different this morning. Dirty, violated, unclean. Things needed to be sorted. Perhaps Georgesilver could do a service of cleansing.

As they found their way through the town, they heard rumours -
The former mayor had been seen without any pants
Arthur was demanding town lists and heads
The usurper CJ had retreated to a monastery

What a mess. And what to do with the grant money?

"Hey Sir Arefin, can we get to the town hall. Let's see if we can be of assistance"

Arthur had to go; he wasn't the patient type. He couldn't sit waiting around when he had things to do. He excused himself, apologizing to Salter, and left to his chambers. He sat in his chair reviewing the papers before him. He had many things to discuss with council, and this situation was not the only thing requiring their attention. Flipping through the papers, he separated the reports.

• Court of Appeal applications of Lordrichy, Nick97
  
• War games compensation
  
• Mining upgrades
  
• Prestige report
  
• Points of law brought from Parliament

While he concentrated on other county matters, time passed quickly. He didn't realize the time until a knock at his door came. He lifted his head to see the clerk enter. Your Grace.. News has come. CJ has been removed from the town hall. The Guards have him in a holding cell.

That is great news! A broad smile spread over his lips. Salter must be happy to be back in office. The clerk's eyes cast down. He did not regain his seat; another Birmingham citizen was more charming.. And Lord Salter has organized another revolt on the town hall. Arthur sighed before standing. We must sanction a counter-revolt before it can occur. Is he not aware that there are procedures we must follow?? The question was rhetorical. He knew that Salter knew the law well. He was a former Duke of Stafford himself. He sent news to the military chambers where some councilors were gathered to inform them of the news.

I need to speak with Salter. Sighing, he handed some papers to the clerk to take to the council. Make sure these get read and that these polls are initiated. Grabbing his cloak, he wrapped it around his shoulders and headed towards town. Hopefully, he'd be able to find Salter before the second counter-revolt was in action.

[OOC: It's really difficult to RP a different mayor in office and having to sanction another counter-revolt when Salter should be in the capitol so I am just saying he is organizing instead of participating.]
