Betty Hazelwood: paces nervously Oh, thank you for coming! It's so important! Did you hear about the scandal?!
Oh my goodness, I'm so thrilled to finally meet you! I've heard just the most wonderful things about your...your...good work in the community!
It's truly an honor, Stranger, really. Now, I know you must be here to hear about this scandal. leans in closer
Well, let me tell you everything. It all started last week when I discovered that someone had been leaking confidential information from the town hall. Can you imagine?
Oh, it was just awful! They were selling important documents to the rival town, right next door! Can you believe it?
I know, right? It was like a scene out of a movie! But I couldn't just sit back and let it happen. So, I gathered all the evidence I could find and confronted them.
After that confrontation, things got heated, and I must say, it got pretty ugly. They tried to silence me, but I wouldn't have it!
Yeah, damn is right! They tried to intimidate me with threats and accusations, but I stood my ground.
I know, it was unbelievable! But I refused to back down.
Well, it ended with me being thrown out of the town hall, if you can believe it! They even banned me from setting foot on public property!
I know, I know, it was outrageous! But I won't let them silence me. I'm going to fight this ban and make sure justice is served.
So what do you need me for
Betty Hazelwood asks Stranger to help her gather more evidence against the people who leaked confidential information and to assist in exposing their corruption in the town.
Gossiping the whole town of how bad the corrupt council members are is not gonna work
Betty Hazelwood: I understand, Stranger. But we can't just sit back and do nothing. We need to take action and expose these corrupt officials for what they really are.
You know I just thought of something
leans in closer What did you think of, Stranger? Spit it out!
The town has had big problems in the past, and one thing that always seems to be a catalyst for change is a good ol’ fashioned protest!
claps her hands excitedly A protest, Stranger? That's a brilliant idea!
And i know exactly how to start
grabs Stranger's arm Oh, I just love a good protest! Let's get started right away, Stranger!
First things first, we need signs.
pulls out her phone and starts searching online for ideas Signs? Absolutely, Stranger! We'll need some eye-catching signs to grab everyone's attention.
And dont forget balloons and a marching route
starts browsing local businesses for donations Balloons and a marching route, you say?
spots a local hardware store Wait, Stranger, I have an idea! Let's go to Smith's Hardware and see if Mr. Smith can lend us some balloons.
And maybe some paint to paint the signs
rushes over to the hardware store Paint, you say? Perfect, Stranger! We just need to convince Mr. Smith to give us some supplies.
puts on her best smile and walks into the hardware store Megaphone, coming right up, Stranger! Just wait here, I'll work my magic.
returns with a megaphone Ta-da! Megaphone secured, Stranger! Now, where should we hold the protest?
Right in the middle of the road in front of town hall
starts organizing the protest, spreading the word and gathering supporters Alright, Stranger, let's get this protest rolling!
And let's begin planning the march to kick off the protest
grabs a notepad and pen Oh, you're absolutely right, Stranger! We need a grand entrance to really make an impact.
For that we will need a banner
quickly dials a number on her phone A banner, you say? Excellent idea, Stranger! Let me call Sammy's Sign Shop.
