Shantae, running through Scuttle Town: I can't let Risky hurt Mayor Scuttlebutt!
[Shantae then slows down considerably as she looks up in thought]
Shantae: Then again...
Shantae, resuming her previous pace: Nah, nah, I'd better stop her.
(submitted by @caddeter, whose submission also broke my post editor for reasons I don't understand so uh. here!)
"MAYOR, YOU OUGHTA BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! YOU'VE FIRED SHANTAE MORE THAN RISKY BOOTS HAS FIRED HER CANNONS! THAT HAIR-WHIPPIN' GIRL HAS SAVED SCUTTLE TOWN SO MANY DOZENS OF TIMES, THAT IT MAKES SKY'S HATCHERY LOOK EMPTY IN COMPARASON! AND THEN HOW ABOUT YOU? YOU'VE JUST BEEN SITTING THERE ON YOUR BUTT ALL DAY INSTEAD OF SCUTTLING AROUND HELPING LIKE SHE IS! THAT'S A JOKE, MAYOR! A PLAY ON YOUR NAME!
FACE IT, I SAY, FACE IT, MAYOR! SHANTAE'S HALF-GENIE, WHILE YOU'RE JUST PLAIN HALF-ASSED!"
Idea for something I might write later: A meetup of royals(and other government officials) who are responsible in some way for an Avatar, as a way of strengthening ties between their universes. Namely:
King Dedede, who ends up as a sort of unofficial leader of the group due to his experience wrangling the Star Allies.
Princess Peach, who isn't entirely certain she should have a place here considering the issues she's working through and the possibility of it implying a power imbalance between her and Mario when their relationship is already pretty rocky.
Queen Melody, so this would obviously be after Watered Down Dreams. she's rather excited to meet people from other worlds outside of a crisis.
King Mickey. I don't really have much to say about him admittedly.
Archangel Flonne, who is acting as a representative of both Celestia (Disgaea's version of heaven), which she's qualified to do as an Archangel, and the Netherworld (Disgaea's version of hell, which there are many of for some reason) that Laharl is Overlord of, which she's qualified to do as one of Laharl's most trusted vassals and his girlfriend. Laharl's not joining the meetup himself because he's self-aware enough to know he's not the best at diplomacy.
Avatar Arle's version of Miss Accord. She is not royalty. She is not part of the Government. She is, in fact, a teacher. At a school that Arle doesn't even go to. She's here anyway.
Mayor Scuttlebutt, unfortunately.
And Cynthia. It would've been Lance instead since Ash lives in Kanto, but he's closer with Cynthia, and she only has one region to handle instead of two so she had more time to come over.
Pages 269 - 272
Uninvited guests are always welcome to Scuttletown!
[Many years ago, before Scuttlebutt ran for politics...]
Scuttlebutt: If I ran the town, things would be a lot better!
Scuttlebutt: Well, for me, anyway.
Mayor Scuttlebutt, to Shantae: I was elected for my ability to think outside the box. Which means I can also think inside the chimney. Can YOU think inside the chimney?
Shantae:
Mayor Scuttlebutt: Didn't think so.
Mayor Scuttlebutt: How much could I possibly owe you? Fifty, sixty gems...?
Shantae: Two thousand four hundred and thirty seven gems.
Mayor Scuttlebutt: Gems!? Wait, of course gems. Why is that the part I'm surprised by?
Shantae: Hold your horses!
Mayor Scuttlebutt: I don't have any horses.
Shantae: ...It means calm down.
Mayor Scuttlebutt: I can't, my horses are gone!
