OOC:It's not my fault. If I just let it go my character would have no credibility.
The receptionist smiled one of those forced 'I have to this every day so make it quick' smiles. "In order to sign up for the senatorial election, you have to go to the Heart of the Council to sign up." She informs him and gives him a map. The Heart of the Council was in the middle of the city, only ten blocks away.
In my very first post I was nondescript about where exactly he was, but I was intending the Heart of the Council. I just didn't know what you would be calling it.
I know your going to ask, so here I tell you. If he's not going into the right building the first time then it ruins any credibility he has because he's been studying government for a few years now. Knowing which building is which is basic of basic politics. If he doesn't know that after so many years of studying and the first graders do then we have a problem. It's also out of character.
Also, I thought it was a nice save. Not every government operation would be in the same city. I've already said that this was the capital. Do Congress, the FBI, the Supreme Court, EPA, and the President all meet in the same building? Nope. I had him at immigration because leaving the country is the main reason to have a passport. He needs his passport to affirm his identity since he has no birth certificate. Honestly the whole thing was just to keep him from looking stupid (which I will not tolerate).
There are two ways this can go down now. One, you can have the receptionist talk to someone and produce the certificate, or we can null all but the first post. The second option tampers down on new found depth though, don't you think?
