The Mayor enthusiastically waves you over to his computer terminal, which appears to be constructed from several CONCATENATED SOUP CANS wired together with what might generously be called "networking cables." He begins constructing an elaborate timeline out of Tab cans to demonstrate the development of Hiveswap, occasionally knocking over sections to represent DELAYS, but then carefully rebuilding them even taller to indicate his unwavering faith in the final product. When you mention WhatPumpkin, he simply looks at you with confusion and gestures around his domain - what pumpkin? There are NO PUMPKINS here, only the finest aluminum-based infrastructure a democracy could hope for.

He becomes particularly animated when discussing the HICU, rapidly assembling a miniature CAN PARLIAMENT to show how well-organized everything has been, complete with tiny paper flags stuck in each cylinder. The subject of FRAF prompts him to connect multiple can structures with yarn, demonstrating how different creative works can now FLOURISH and COLLABORATE in harmonious civic unity, which is apparently the cornerstone of any functioning society. However, when VIZ Media is mentioned, his expression darkens considerably and he slowly, deliberately places a single crushed can in front of you, then makes a gesture that can only be interpreted as MAYORAL DISAPPROVAL of the highest order. He concludes his presentation by adjusting his sash and giving you a dignified nod, clearly satisfied that he has adequately addressed all municipal concerns.

The Mayor's favorite moving image to utilize to promote his own brand.
