It is only fitting that the initial editorial for the return of the New Toulouse Tattler be written by the new mayor of the city; therefore, we turn over the editorial microphone to Mr. Henri Godenot. —Ed.
I am honored to have the opportunity to manage New Toulouse and New Toulouse Bayou. I have been a resident here in New Toulouse and New Toulouse Bayou since these lands first rose from the swamps.
New Toulouse has a culture, a feeling, and a pace all its own. Our neighbors live in this place because they have found some aspect of that culture appealing. It’s my job to preserve those characteristics that we all love so much.
I was delighted to be able to purchase this estate from Miss Gabrielle Riel. She purchased it from its founder, Miss Carricre Wind. These people have loved and cared for this place, and they have done a wonderful job in managing and preserving it. I intend to live up to the exceptional standard they have established, so I have assembled an exceptional management team to give New Toulouse the respect and care it deserves.
I encourage you to walk around, to meet the people and enjoy this beautiful place, its residents, and culture; and I would like to thank you for visiting, living, working, and playing here, and for all that you contribute to making New Toulouse one of the best places anywhere.
I am the guy responsible for paying the bills, making the unpopular decisions, and taking the blame when things go wrong. My estate managers are Francesca Alva, Pazzo Pestana, and Nikita Weymann. Yvonne Follet and Bedlamie Thunders are my executive assistants and the first people to contact with questions and concerns; they are able to put you in touch with the right people to help you with any problems.
Every person on this team is a resident of New Toulouse. All of them were selected for their knowledge of New Toulouse, their character, and their reputation. Every one of them wants to see New Toulouse flourish. I have the greatest confidence in them and their ability, and I take great satisfaction in working with such an extraordinary team.
A new day is dawning in our New Toulouse, and Chanticleer, our rooster, has returned to the town square to greet it!
Henri Godenot is the mayor of New Toulouse.
