At Colonel Curtiss' behest, and due to community displeasure with the current state of the weather, the government has assembled several alternatives for individuals who find the current heat unwelcome.
1) Air conditioning units available at subsidized rates
Citizens in need of assistance with air conditioning can rent window units from the government at a sliding scale based upon your income. Those who would prefer to offer their time rather than income can perform community service in exchange for an air conditioner.
2) Beachside water features and shade
I've browbeaten Losstarot into making himself useful arranged for the erection of several magically-powered water and ice features at the beach, including a dancing mist sculpture and a water slide built of substances I'd rather not think too hard about. He's also created some sort of portal into midnight in what appears to be a considerably northern latitude for those who desire a respite from the sun. Feel free to ignore the evangelizing-for-the-Dark pamphlets he's placed at the entrances and the exits. Don't tell him I told you so, however.
3) Swimsuit contest
Soldiers have assured me that is, I have it on considerable authority that skimpy and skin-tight clothing is both essential for proper enjoyment of water and a booster of morale for not only the wearer but also those in the vicinity of the wearer. They also tell me that a competition among the wearers of these garments is a beneficial way of encouraging more swimsuit wearing and more morale improvements. I refuse to believe the part about the Jello pit, however.
Therefore, all those who wish to participate in a citywide swimsuit contest (or to witness it) can present photos of their entries over the next week or so. There will be prizes awarded for most original, most practical, most attractive, and so forth.
Ground rules:
a) Since this is an event to be held on a beach open to all ages, please, no excessive exposure of your species' reproductive or excretory organs.
b) No attempts at rigging the results by damaging a fellow contestant or their entry. The prizes aren't that good; I'm not that creative.
If anyone has any further ideas or requests, please contact my office at your earliest convenience.
[ooc: so, who'd enter the swimsuit contest and what would they be wearing? ^_^]
