Lore

There was a nuke that made the previous unnamed mayor resign and give interim mayor to The Black Cat (6/25/22)
The Black Cat opens The Black Cat Express with his new mayorship (10/22/22)
The Black Cat gets more and more overstepping, setting up a giant billboard in front of the Japan Shrine, starting the feud with Shrine Maiden (Lupin)
The Black Cat "purchases" the Japan Shrine area from the city for $10 million dollars through a lawfirm called The Black Hat Lawyers, run by Mr. Hatter (DarknessOfDark) (5/6/23)
He uses that to create a city project to build The Black Cat 2 over the shrine grounds, and succeeds, but during the opening ceremony the entire thing gets set ablaze (6/3/23)
Japan Shrine is rebuilt, and The Black Cat essentially gives up on building up there, and instead wants to capitalize on the Shrine Maiden being a demon; building a wall around the shrine and putting a ticket booth to sell tickets as if it were a zoo during Halloween (10/7/23)
It rains and Japan Shrine got flooded due to lack of irrigation, so the walls are taken down (Was "agreed" on happening sometime in January 2024, wasn't during a Citywide)
The Black Cat's interim mayor term is coming to a close, so he starts advertising his mayorship and a debate is held, with Mr. Beast (Jeff), Crackhead (Blurple), and the shrine maiden (Lupin) running against him. A mayoral debate and actual Google Form vote is held (2/10/24)
Mr. Beast wins the mayor election, but turns to be evil and blows up both the shrine and The Black Cat Express. As a last ditch effort to escape responsibility, he runs the "touch the LPD station for mayor" challenge and The Black Cat makes it first (3/2/24)
Mr. Beast is taken into custody and code 0'd by SLRT into the river (3/2/24)
The Black Cat somehow legally becomes mayor through that, and builds/purchases The Black Cat 2 (2), which he runs now, with The Black Cat Express for lease (5/4/24)
The Black Cat is able to sell The Black Cat Express for $250k to The Medic (OmegaDiamond) who runs a medic cafe out of it.
The Shrine Maiden takes down The Black Cat's billboard in front of the shrine out of anger, it landing beside the bridge in the river. (8/3/24)
TBC still owns the airspace of the sold Express however, so puts up another gigantic billboard in the dead center of the place since the previous was felled (10/5/24)
Casey Chestnuts (StarsStellar) offers to be assistant mayor, which TBC agrees to so he doesn't have to work as much. An "Office of Mayor cabinet" starts to form (11/2/24)
John Wizardman is added to cabinet after TBC realizes he can spawn money (which only exists for 2-3 years at a time before disappearing). Casey is not happy with this, and successfully encourages John to instead be the Fire Chief to put out fires with water magic instead
The Mayor cabinet pulls the old felled billboard out of the river, which is now somehow standing again in a heavily disheveled state (4/5/25)
