" you know things about me that i've never told anyone else , like my middle name and social security number "

R O N   S W A N S O N, made it a priority to avoid government centred activities at all costs , that was a shock to no-one.

He hated just about any form the government could take to control citizen's livelihoods , but as he sat back in city halls, a good decade after he quit working there, he couldn't help feel love and [dare he ever think it and god-for-bid say it ] reminiscent of all the good times he had shared with his government buddies.

The conference room was dirty and worn down, it, amongst a few select rooms, hadn't gotten the pleasure of getting a Ron Swanson makeover and it showed.

Most of the wallpaper was chipping away , the moulding chewed [ if not completely gone ], the glass that separated it from the main office cracked and stained with an unknown brown substance.

Leslie , as about most things in life, was unaffected by her surroundings. That wasn't to say much, after all, Ron had seen the blonde give an entire speech in a park while two tiny dogs latched their jaws onto each of her ankles without the slightest of a flinch.

"So the silver-lining is that we are still ahead of the siamese twins , Destiny and Faith , and the porn-star turned nun , Sister Chastity , which means we are still in the lead for the top three votes" Leslie's pointer reached for a new brightly coloured index card attached to her blackboard.

"Oooh nice Knope" Donna praised, Chris also chirping in,

"Well , Leslie Knope, that is literally the greatest news I've heard all month!" He clapped his hands giving her a supportive smile.

"I told you life wasn't over when Whisper LemonDrop didn't win this season of drag race" Ann nodded in agreement with her husband.

"Yes , but ,  unfortunately , there is a new candidate running here from Pawnee-" Ben chimed from the back of the table. "And we are not to sure who, other than she has the votes from all of Pawnee's most influential members and for whatever reason wants to stay anonymous for as long as possible".

"That . . . is not as good," Chris immediately frowned.

Seeing the falter of his expression , Leslie pepped up her speech "But , but , but... I was up all night trying to figure out who she is! I have now narrowed it down to 308 potential suspects! Tom , can you get the new set of data?"

"Sure" He tossed a finger gun at the blonde before he started to roll his chair to the left to grab the portfolio.

A mere two inches of movement were made before the neck of the chair snapped in half , causing Tom , and the top half of the chair , to fall on the ground , a high squeal escaping from his lips.
