Casting Call for "A New Beginning" (Possible Spoilers) by Aldin

Having posted Chapter 11, we are now about half-way through the tale. The story is complete and I could just keep posting away, but there's one part I could easily expand, but I'd need a little help from others.

Possible Spoilers

If you've read through Chapter 11, you know Aldin is now being questioned by a government official. If you haven't read that far yet, it's your own fault 'cause you were just warned prior to that sentence! (chuckle)

He will wind-up being questioned in Parliament by members of it. This is where you come in. I could grab my old fashion paper phone book and start picking names at random and choosing an animal for them and stick'em in this Parliament. Or leave the tale as is and just brush-over the questioning. Or, I can offer some of you "walk-on" bit roles.

I've kept details of this furry Earth vague on purpose. I haven't decided what I'll "paint" here and there on this new "canvas". I have decided that it is a united world (or is it?). It is a world without professional politicians. In this world, the governing body is chosen by random lottery for a half year (5 months on this world) term. I'm aiming for something similar to the US Jury Duty System. If you're the "lucky" winner for your District, it is your civic duty to serve as Representative for that term. And just like Jury Duty, there are those who take it seriously and those that don't and/or are not pleased they must serve and will try to find some way to squirm out of serving.

So, I'm looking for a few "fortunate" (or "unfortunate") souls to help fill-up the seats in this session of Parliament. For now, I'm looking for mammal species. Sorry, no hybrids/chimeras/gryphons right now as I haven't decided if they exist here yet. I may consider birds too.

And yes, this "casting call" will be posted on all three sites the story is posted on.

Still interested?
Reply to this post with the following:

Your furry character/fursona's name
Species
A link to a reference sheet or brief description of your character
Name of the "District" you hail from (make something up)
Taking your civic duty seriously or not pleased with having to serve?
A question you would pose to Aldin. Not sure? Just say that and I'll come-up with something. Please keep the questions "clean" as this is meant to be a general audience story.

I won't promise I will choose you in particular, so please don't get offended if I don't chose you. By replying with the above info, you are giving me permission to use your character for a bit part in my tale with no editing input from you beyond the information you provided above.

What you get in return? A bit part in my tale, my thanks, and you can claim among your friends that you've won the "lottery". :)

Deadline: Tuesday, March 28, 9pm Eastern.

Thanks in advance should you decide to jump in.

    I might be open to using a feral version of my otter. Or if you need/want suggestions for what new characters to provide.

      Well, it would be a semi-feral/semi-anthro version of your otter or whoever you volunteer to participate. Aldin is the only true feral in the tale, furry-world side.

      Still interested, post the info, Seize. If your otter is too young to serve as a Representative, I may be able to find a way to still work him in.

    Okay cool, here he is after school, https://www.weasyl.com/~seizthemoment/submissions/1468604/k-i-s-s-i-n-g

    and on the field, https://www.weasyl.com/~seizthemoment/submissions/733047/plunk

    He's generally 12 or so years old.

      Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I can still work Ryan in. But I need a little more info. If I see you in a art stream before you reply to this I may pester you there.

      Where does he live?
      What question would he ask Aldin (a talking feral--unheard of!) given a chance to do so?

      Thanks!

        I always imagines Ryan living in the outskirts of River City (or any small to medium sized city). Ryan being fairly easy to lucky would want to make sure his friends weren't affected by new developements. He has an interest, curiosity in the academics, but doesn't know yet what field he'd study more as an adult othe than his appreciation/fascination with natural sciences like earthquakes, volcanoes, weather, everyday occurrences from earth's activities).

        Perhaps he'd ask Aldin more about what its was like being near the incident at the beginning of the story.

          And you can always pester me in stream. :-p

            Thanks! I may chase you down if I see you in a stream this evening to double-check on something. If I use Ryan, I want to make sure what I aim for meets how you see him.
