Xander and Anya chose to be a part of that, however more or less reluctantly. Harmony wasn't consulted, despite Buffy knowing there might be sexy influence shenanigans. She is definitely owed first "make this right" time, and I think that vastly outweighs the possibility of making people think.

Also, hi y'all! Fun quest, been following a while.

[X] Xander's one of her best friends and he's totally backed her up all summer. Buffy couldn't let him beat himself up all alone in the woods over something like this.

DRAMA FOR THE DRAMA GOD! MISUNDERSTANDINGS FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING THRONE!

Xander is Buffy bro, they have a deep relationship that only people who have literally saved each other lives have with each other. Anya is a former vengeance demon we should not leave that but she is a adult somewhat. Harmony should not be approached. Buffy coming "out" will cost her the election so let's let Harmony stew for a while.

Fuck being suspicious. The fact that Buffy is dating Harmony is going to come up sooner or later. We're doing the right thing here.

Oh it definitely is, we're just hoping it comes up after the election is all.

Hmm, @DeAnno , could we try and subtly signal for Harmony to meet us at our house to talk there? If we make it look like we're just going home for the night, then most of our people will be over at the filming and we can talk things out with Harmony without worrying about letting any secrets slip

That does seem like a good idea.

Buffy's current plan for Harmony is to go into Cynthia's van, which isn't super suspicious but not super unsuspicious either. If you want to do something more subtle than that, vote for Harmony and stunt an exact course of action (how does Buffy signal her exactly?) If there seems to be broad support for the stunt Buffy will do that instead.
 
I would like to remind people that the United States in the late 90's was not accepting of gay people and it will cost Buffy the election. Even in California she will loose the vote. Buffy already has multiple things against her such as being a teenage girl that is suspected criminal. I think it be better to hash things out with Xander or Anya and handle Harmony in private.

You may have a point

I know that is the sad thing. Any romance with Harmony should be put on the back burner till after the election. A incumbent is essentially guaranteed to be elected again in the United States because of apathy. Also most of the people who vote are the elderly and they would not look kindly on anyone too different.

That is a pretty good point, but one that I think can be handled with a stunt. Keep in mind that Harmony is in Cynthia's van, we can go get in it and tell Cynthia to drive. We don't have to have the talk right here, we can start having it 2 miles down the road. Cynthia being in the know already is very helpful for having this talk somewhere else.

I suppose keeping Anya onside is also important, as she is both in the know regarding Harmony and an important member of gang when it come to the election. Which means losing Anya could be crippling to our electoral campaign.

@DeAnno, I have four questions:
  • what are the current poll numbers like for the election?
  • Do we have something like a mobile phone, that we can use to communicate with other Scooby Gang members? (Additionally, we Scooby gang members can we communicate with using this method?)
  • Outside of Sunnydale, what is the reason given for Buffy being made interim mayor?
  • Do we know where Anya is going right now?

I agree. It's slightly meta, but from Harmony's pov we know that Cynthia already knows Harmony feelings so she might suspect something already.

I don't want to lose Anya's support but I think she understands. Hopefully.

This phone poll with 217 respondents was taken with assistance from Ian's family's people last Friday (July 30th); it's the first poll since the one you got at the end of June that was shown here. You've gained about 5% on Gervais since then.
  • Overall: B. Summers 43% / C. Gervais 37% / Undecided 20%
  • Crime and Drugs (31%): B. Summers 66% / C. Gervais 19% / Undecided 15%
  • Education and Schools (16%): B. Summers 37% / C. Gervais 43% / Undecided 20%
  • Moral Fiber and Tradition (16%): B. Summers 31% / C. Gervais 46% / Undecided 23%
  • Unemployment and Job Quality (11%): B. Summers 42% / C. Gervais 33% / Undecided 25%
  • Property Taxes and Zoning (9%): B. Summers 20% / C. Gervais 55% / Undecided 25%
  • Other Issues (17%): B. Summers 33% / C. Gervais 47% / Undecided 19%
Do we have something like a mobile phone, that we can use to communicate with other Scooby Gang members? (Additionally, we Scooby gang members can we communicate with using this method?)

The Scoobies, the SDCW, City Hall admin, the cops, and various VIPs all have Willow's magically augmented police radios, which can function like private cellphones within the network.

Outside of Sunnydale, what is the reason given for Buffy being made interim mayor?

There was a gang attack on the school during graduation which ended in a gas explosion, after which Wilkins was missing. Sunnydale fell into chaos for a day or two, with much of the former government (including 4/5ths of the city council) abandoning their posts until Buffy became interim mayor, leading a youth effort to clean up the city.

Do we know where Anya is going right now?

Anya is off a little ways beyond the edge of the clearing with Clem right now, making exaggerated hand gestures while Clem nods along. They don't appear to be wandering deeper into the forest but people are giving them space.
 
I would like to purpose a compromise.

[X] She has to make sure things are right with Anya. She totally deserves a dressing down from her, and doesn't want Anya to pull punches or anything just because she's her boss or something.
-[X] Use police radio to discreetly and privately tell Harmony, we will talk about this next time, we are alone, together.
 
Wow the polls are actually going pretty well in our favor. Last time they came up we had a 1% overall lead. We made huge gains in education and employment, small to moderate gains in crime and property issues, and a small drop in moral fiber in tradition.
 
I would like to purpose a compromise.

It's an alright idea, but I don't think it'll work out perfectly. Using the radios will probably auto let cyber willow (and by extension regular Willow) know plus it'll at the very least look weird to be radioing someone else since everyone who could be contacted is already here (making it even more suspicious when Harmony picks up her own radio in the car).

Hmm, I wonder how good her super hearing is. We could mutter our desire to meet up with her at home and she'd be the only one to hear us
