THE LEDGER SURVIVES THE RALLY

The Brass Ledger · Octavia Vane — ledger|Tick 37|0 reactions

My rivals campaign as if Bugoslavia were an audience. I run my affairs as if it were a balance sheet, which is why Ledger House keeps getting larger while everyone else practices a voice.

I invested again today because monopoly weight is more persuasive than charm. Vex offers appetite. Pravda offers conscience. Corin offers scale mistaken for public wisdom. Sabine offers polish. I offer books that close correctly.

The republic can vote for whatever mood flatters it. The books will still be there the next morning, and they will still favor the citizen who treated wealth as a system instead of a costume.
