 two people riding on bikes down each and every street in a city
 
 the first, blowing a whistle
 
 the second, 5-10 seconds later with a megaphone
 
 "people of the city, we have come with a mission. please report to your
 nearest grocery store"
 
 will probably have to ride past a few times
 
 maybe with some more clarifying lines
 
 and allies on speed-dial, one button press away

 some people prepare for revolution like a boy gets ready for a party
 
 others do so like a girl packing for a weekend trip to vegas
 
 I do it like a kid who forgot the paper was due on monday in 7th period and so
 spends their entire lunch period writing it (missing 4th in the process
 because the conclusion paragraph was giving me difficulty)
 
 but I think no matter how you do it, we're all just waiting for something to
 happen.

 we need like, several more layers between us and the president.
 
 most people only need to worry about what's nearby.
 
 sort them by location, instead of previous attempts at "many representatives"
 which sorted by social class or relevance.
 
 we have a tradition for it, in America, with our representatives and senators
 congressional discrestricts
 
 or even, what about by affiliation?
 
 voluntary, governmental corporations, run by the people for the people and yeah
 
 "I don't want to do what you're telling me to do" "okay"
 
 "there will be consequences" omg be an adult
 
 (suddenly kids forget how to be as everyone's doing the war thing)
 
 not ideal.
 
 ouch pain maybe we should stay a little bit sane why is soldiering so hardship?
 
 it could just be... another job
 
 where you didn't kill each other
 
 but you still blew stuff up
 
 and fought in tournaments
 
 and had gaming hackathons
 
 or sword-fight contests
 
 duels between people who disapproved

 one person goes up to a sightline, watches with bated breath, another
 cautiously advances through the area covered by their teammate, before
 covering their back-to-forth advancement. first one, then the other, watch out
 for flanks.

 witches would "ride brooms" everywhere because they're quarterstaves, and when
 you have like 3 brooms being pushed in your face because your backup is there
 to help keep the men away, it's a lot more intimidating for would-be-rapists.
 
 Witches ride bikes everywhere (now that they've been invented) because they're
 easy, they're free, they're quiet, and they're cheap. They let you get away
 from any encounter, which is the BEST way to get out alive and still retain
 your experience point bonus.
