♛      ┆      TASK OO1   »   elections.

spotless black shiny suit abreast a burgundy silk dress shirt wrapped his tall frame in a blanket of elegance and unandulterated confidence, almost threatening, idle impulses scratching the line of narcissism. there was something dark around him, as if the soul of a leonidas leading his 300 spartans and 900 helots to a war against the persians who threatened to reduce the greece they called home to ashes had decided to merge with his own, as if an almighty god decided to reside in him and enjoy the show. dangerous, determined, with his prey right in front of his eyes, teasing his fingertips in a way it made him feel thrilled, the euphoria triggering through his veins chained up by nothing more than simple resolution, the will of a final goal interlocking fingers with the immense pleasure that comes with the promised result, and maybe, he had a bit of greed for power in him. just for this once, let’s sink into the sin that is lusting for power.

out of all the occassions, today’s wasn’t one he plastered his immaculate threaded mask of perfect appareance on his semblance  ───  he had nothing to hide, his honed but saccharine & sly tongue was naturally implanted in him.

sharp jaw was pressed tightly together, hickory hues holding an ominous blaze deep within them. patient, yet with a thirst that had him gulping harshly. composed, yet with an eagerness he hadn’t been met with in a long, long time. yet his confidence & conviction didn’t falter for a second. as easy as stealing candy from a kid, whether he wins or not. he was born for this, to entertain an audience with his twisted but velvety tongue. in more scenarios than one, he felt like a young god  ───  unstoppable, untouchable, with the olympus casting a cocoon of unconditional blessings & protection upon him.

this one time may have been one of them.

digits itching with ambition smooth the cuffs of his blazer, halting to dart his eyes with a raised eyebrow to the person calling him to step forward. his tongue clicks as hands reach for the bottle of water standing beside the front legs of his chair, uncapping it to take a long sip, adam’s apple bobbing slowly. the water-filled plastic was left behind atop his seat the moment he marched with long legs to the podium. he stood there like he already owned the place, slender fingers caressing the border of the pristine wood with love-filled touches followed closely by his eyes & a raised eyebrow that only accentuated the smug smile stretching his plump, pink tinted lips, head slightly tilted to the side. the confidence radiating from him was nothing short of maddening. intimidating for some.

sharp hues didn’t take long to fix themselves on the small audience, smile only growing bigger, more menacing as they ran from left to right, the faintest scoff shaking his frame. the devil was standing next to him, hand on his shoulder and contract splayed on the firm surface of the podium  ───  ‘ make them sign it. ‘

the smug smile turned into a sweet giggle, the soft shaking from side to side of his head making his neatly styled hair sway a bit, chin resting on his right hand as he took a more relaxed pose.  “ it’s hard to believe i’m running for president this year, isn’t it ? it’s hard to believe it myself. “  a beam is resting on his lips as he raises his eyebrows, wiggling them once. shaking his head as he looks down, hands reach to fix his tie, he lets the set of words spill.  “ i would say i’m nervous standing here, but if i were to start my speech with a lie, it would take away every bit of veracity from what is yet to be spoken, right ? “  with digits done playing around with the fabric, he stares back into the eyes of those in front of him.  “ so as always, i’m going to remain honest, for the sake of the society, and in the place of those candidates who may choose toying with you over being a honorable person as the best resolution. “  his hands hold tightly onto the borders of the podium, that lopsided smile he got from lucifer plastered on his face as he leans forward in a small push up, arms flexing with the motion.  “ hm, so here we go. “ he resumes to a straight position, index finger tapping against the food.  “ staying on this line of utmost honesty we are walking together, it’s not a secret that outside of my formal duties i am known for being a bit too troublesome, a bit too crazy, and going the extra mile, an absolute asshole. some of you more likely think i’m stupid. why lie ? “  a shrug and raised arms follow his words, a hint of playfulness hiding in the corners of his lips.  “ that’s what a great majority of you know me for: the way i choose to be in my private life. but it isn’t a secret that outside of this building, and once i step a foot outside my private daily life, i hold an untarnished reputation built on fine manners, a composed and calm personality, a selfless attitude and an excellent academic career as old as i am myself. in short, i am seen as a respectable person and a model student who commits to his studies and responsibilities, never once failing to adhere to his duties, adored by teachers and the higher-ups in this university. “  with teeth biting softly on his lower lip and head tilted, soft eyes trail over the audience.  “ the society can benefit immensely from this, and inadvertently, it secures that i am a responsible candidate  ─  for if i’m chosen as the new president, the society will become one of my most important liabilities. “

“ were any problems to arouse, we would have the certitude of being guarded by my father’s buffet, composed by the best lawyers only, included my father himself. “  there was a bitter taste lingering in his tongue left by the spoken words, acknowledging his parent for what he is never a favourite for romeo. “ it would be my  B  I G G E S T  pleasure to be elected as the next one in our line of past eloquent presidents that have made diadem imperium what it is today  ─  a society for the generations chosen to make an impact in the world, a remarkable change worthy of our names. “  the flow of words fall down the brims of his lips accompanied by the hand resting on his chest, almost a reverence aimed at the spectators.  “ aware of the importance of this role, and raised by parents who always aimed for the best in every minuscule aspect, i am more than confident i am qualified to take our society in the direction it deserves, with the collaboration of  e v e r y  member taken into consideration, and not in the one a single greedy individual thinks will benefit them best. this is run on a democracy  ─  let’s start treating it like one. together. “

it is with a satisfied smile bringing out the light in him that he lets out a long sigh, body swaying promptly.  “ i urge you to place all your bets on me and honor me with your faith  ─  for, this once, i won’t be leading you into the wolf’s mouth. thank you for gifting me with your time and ears, and i hope to meet you as your new president soon. “
