Largo's Return: The Interview

TMN EXCLUSIVE: FIVE QUESTIONS WITH LARGO THE FEN

TMN is proud to present the first interview with Largo the Fen since his return to Puddleby.

1) Where did you go?

I've been here and there. Righting wrongs, doing good, buying shirts, spreading the fundamentals of the Largocracy. Puddleby is a wonderful place, full of wonderful individuals. Sometimes, though, it gets exhausting. People look up to me as a leader, and that's a difficult life to live. I wanted to take a break from the crushing responsibilities of the "political celebrity" status I'm so used to here.

2) Why have you returned?

The current Fen administration has proven itself to be the worst in years—inflation and the Dar'shak situation are in an abysmal place, and our town desperately needs some renovations. It's time for change, and I'm the Fen to bring that change about. In fewer words, I'm here to take charge and start working hard with the rest of Puddleby to fix our problems. I have big plans, Paramedic. Big plans.

3) What did you miss most about Puddleby? Is there anything you didn't miss?

I missed Puddleby's fine citizens and glorious publications the most, naturally! This is a fine town, and in all honesty there are very few parts of it that I like to go without for very long. If I must pick something, though? Wangah Rah.

4) Do you intend to run for office in Puddleby?

I'm glad you asked that, Para. I do intend to represent the Largocratic party in the upcoming Fen election, and I've already begun to piece together my cabinet. If I am elected, Afrit will head the Department of Detha, Rakshasa will lead my personal bodyguards, and Hunter will be Fen Treasurer. Relkin and Althea will be reprising their respective roles as my running mate and campaign manager. This election may just be the most important Puddleby has ever seen, and I'm the only candidate for the job.

5) What do you think about the recent Orga invasion?

I think it's yet another symptom of the foul disease that is our current administration. Things were handled poorly, and the fact that the Orga were able to gather such an impressive offensive is alarming in itself. The fighting dragged on for far too long, our lack of diplomacy was unacceptable, and the sacrifices on our end were too large. It's a shame I wasn't here—the whole ordeal would have taken a different course.

In keeping with the old Fishwrap Magazine tradition, you are now allowed to ask the Thoom ONE (1) question.

I understand that Thoomcare traditionally stays neutral during Fen elections. Personally, though, do I have your vote?

That remains to be seen. I will do everything I can, however, to make sure that all candidates have a full opportunity to convey their message. It's true that campaign season is approaching, and TMN will be there with all the important election news, starting with the announcement of the candidates.

Thank you for your time, Largo!

And thank you for interviewing me! It's always a pleasure.
