CHAPTER 2 - EVENT - ELECTION

[MAGGIE! is online]

[MAGGIE!: the election 🗳️ is happening RIGHT NOW!! 😲 make sure to support and make this mansion a better place 😏]

GM’S NOTE: This is a direct transcript. Not a summary.

[3:00 PM] Monoboar!: As soon as you step inside, you are greeted with the foyer decorated by balloons and partied-up tables. All sorts of colors depicting of the campaign runners are represented in the decor and tables, and one table is decorated for each of the people who are running for leader. If you have a good eye, then you see that there's things on the table! On the tables are portraits of the campaign runners, their interviews, and some trinkets for you to take.

The interviews are shown here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y5x3X10aCUtKbnhaQB8j79-pfGqRLO5uNY5kA0Ir0jM/edit

The ballot box, pencils, and slips of paper lay in the dead center, along with a small list of rules: - If you are a campaign runner, you may not vote for yourself - No more than one vote per person - You cannot vote for someone who is not running - Ask Maggie for any clarifying questions

If you are voting, DM me.

Ignore the. Birthday in the visual.

[3:01 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana reluctantly leaves her room to stand inside the room. Eugh, there was so much yellow! [3:01 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is disgusted. [3:01 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana stands next to Hazel. [3:02 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel smiles at her. [3:02 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie waves to the people coming! [3:02 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko is at her table! Hi. :>

She waves to Hazel and Hana as they come in. [3:02 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy has set up some of his doves at his table. [3:03 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is a bit hesitant. She likes the doves. [3:04 PM] Wawwace Cawwaghan || Election: Wallace stands behind his table with his unnaturally impeccable posture, nodding to those who enter. Since CK didn't get around to doing the interview, he is open to being approached by voters who may have questions for him. [3:04 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel avoids Wallace's table like the plague. [3:04 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana also does that. [3:04 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko is also open, even though she has been interviewed. [3:05 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel trailed in, a little curious about this whole thing. He didn't understand what was going on, but he wanted to support his friends. He waved at Keiko and Wallace. [3:06 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel turns to Hana, quietly greeting her under her breath.

"Lady Hime-sama.. I haven't spoken to you s-since... ah, well, how are you...? What are your thoughts on this..." She bites her tongue, resisting the urge to show her distaste. "...event?"

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:06 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy is shuffling a deck of cards. [3:06 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie offers everyone in the foyer a glass of water after getting a platter in the kitchen. [3:07 PM] Eri [arcade]: Eri walked over to the foyer. [3:07 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Stupid," is what she responds with, frowning and crossing her arms. "Let's just get outta here already."

"I'm okay, though! I'm, um, yeah. I'm fine!"

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:08 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: Artemis looks around the voting areas upon entery. Oh god that's a lot of yellow. [3:09 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel waved at Eri. Another one of his friends! He's still carrying around that stuffed animal. [3:09 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Hm..." Hazel nods in agreement. "I tried... well, I wouldn't say talk to Lady Maggie about it, but I definitely told her my own thoughts... I wouldn't vote for most of these people, if I were you..."

She's basically whispering to Hana now. The poet is a bit judgmental.

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:10 PM] Eri [arcade]: Eri waved back. [3:10 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko doesn't glare at Artemis as she walks in, despite her bread crimes. You're on thin ice :unamused: . [3:10 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Yeah!" she whispers, a bit loudly. "Everyone's a fudgin' nutjob! What the heck is with the prizes? The decorations? I feel like I'm at a circus voting for which clown should perform first!"

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars)

[3:11 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: She giggles, hiding her mouth behind her hand. "Fufu~ that's almost it, isn't it...? I do not wish to be very rude, but I suppose I'm a bit nervous... I feel as though this has happened before..."

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:14 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Ugh, me too, it's like deja vu or something, right? I don't feel like any of this is gonna change anything! Like, it's totally just that STINKY PIG," she yells that last part, "trying to set everyone up!"

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:16 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Perhaps... but we might have to vote... who knows what Sir Piggy will do if we do not..." Hazel looks troubled, hand near her mouth curling into a loose fist.

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:17 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: Artemis waves at Keiko, Hello Lady. [3:17 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana frowns again, looking utterly annoyed. She groans. "I'll just vote for a cute girl or something. It's better than nothing."

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:18 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar waddles around with a glass of water in his hoof, waddling eventually to Artemis.

"How're ya? Have you been breathing, oink?" He asks.

@Artemis Black (Alex) [3:19 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko waves back. :unamused: Thin ice. Very thin. [3:19 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "I don't know if that'll work out... I think the girls running would probably kill if provoked." Hazel comments.

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:21 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana whimpers. "I'm tired of this place! I just want out already!"

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:23 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: Artemis gives the little boar a glare. "Wadda want."

...

"Wait- First. How the fuck are you holding that."

@Monoboar! [3:25 PM] Monoboar!: "I asked a question, have ya been breathing? Snrff."

I imagine it like this. It's so weird to draw him with thumbs.

@Artemis Black (Alex)

[3:27 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: That is not natural.

"...yes. I've been fuckin' breathing."

@Monoboar! [3:28 PM] Monoboar!: "Cool. Snff."

"There's been alotta breathin' lately."

@Artemis Black (Alex) [3:28 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "I as well... maybe we could just settle on who to vote for, I at least have an idea, as much as I dislike this election idea."

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:29 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: "We-- Living things breath to live...?"

@Monoboar! [3:30 PM] Monoboar!: "Yeah..."

@Artemis Black (Alex) [3:30 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie walks around, announcing "Runner speeches will occur in 30 minutes!" [3:31 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Yeah, me too, I think. I dunno though. What's your idea?"

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:32 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel moves to whisper into Hana's ear.

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:32 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: "..."

...

"Anything else ya wanna fuckin' chat about?"

@Monoboar! [3:32 PM] Monoboar!: "Just checkin' up, oink."

He starts to waddle away.

@Artemis Black (Alex) [3:33 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Oh my god, me too, like, how'd you read my mind like that?" she said, giggling.

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:33 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko is waiting for someone to come talk to her. [3:33 PM] Eri [arcade]: Eri grabs a pair of sunglasses from Keiko's table. [3:34 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Fufu~ Great minds think alike, I suppose?" Hazel giggles, and looks around at the other candidates like someone probably about to dump milk on a boy and ruin his doll.

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:35 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: "Ah...Hello, Eri-san." she says, nervously rearranging the things on her table.

@Eri Nakama (Rozen) [3:35 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy makes a staff appear in his hand and starts twirling it. [3:36 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "I suppose so too!" she puts her hand up to her mouth. Schemin. [3:37 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel is just nervously clutching his stuffed animal to his chest off to the side of the room. [3:37 PM] Eri [arcade]: Assuming they are just regular sunglasses, Eri puts them on. "Hey" @Keiko Taisei (Heather) [3:38 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie goes up to Willy's table, seeing the man play around with a staff.

"Oh my heavens- is this going well. I never hosted one of these before." She mummurs frantically.

@William "Willy Wonder" Sherman (Dingle) [3:39 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: Strange. [3:40 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel stops for a moment, quirking a brow at Hana.

"Lady Hime-sama... by all means, you enjoy being a princess, yes? I'm almost a bit shocked you didn't try running."

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:42 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: He glances over as he slides the entire staff into his sleeve. "I'd say its going fine." Willy takes out William Jr. and starts petting him. "I mean, we haven't even given speeches yet, so nothing can really go wrong at this point." @Maggie (Lexi) [3:43 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Oh, yeah, of course! I dunno, though. Like, I don't want people in my kingdom to end up, like, killing people." she answers simply. "I thought about it, but half these people are smelly anyway! I shouldn't have to show them I'm the princess, they should, like, just know already!"

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:43 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Yeah... speeches..."

"But what if it goes on for too long? Will people get bored?" She asks with an anxious expression.

@William "Willy Wonder" Sherman (Dingle) [3:44 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Oh... fuu, I see." Hazel nods, a hand pressed to her chin. "That's reasonable, Lady Hime-sama..."

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:45 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "I know." she responds, smirking to herself. She's was so great!

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:45 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: "Maggie." He puts a hand out in a 'stop' motion. "Chill. Some people might get bored, who knows, but the point of this is to elect a leader, not entertain people like a carnival or something. Besides, if it were, I'd be killing it right now." @Maggie (Lexi) [3:45 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Mhm...

...

"Ummm, do you think, uh, A...A.." She's struggling to say the name. "Akihiko... what would he think of this?"

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:47 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie, does indeed chill, clicking her pen as stress relief. "You're right... Just concerned that this might fall apart... Anxiety with these things, ya know?"

@William "Willy Wonder" Sherman (Dingle) [3:48 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana jumps, expression saddening. "W-Well...he would..." she put her hand to her mouth.

"...he would be happy to see his friends all together in one room, and...he would cheer everyone on."

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:48 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma sidles in the room late, which isn't exactly good for her leadership image, but she doesn't seem ashamed or when put off by it. She glances around the room, as if making sure everyone is here, and then heads to her own table.

She gives the objects on the table a skeptical look. It's nice of Maggie to do all this, really, but...Wilma isn't much for politics. [3:49 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel lets out a struggled noise of pain, and clears her throat. "Mm, well.. I suppose it's good to make the best of it, yes?"

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:50 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana looked away, nodding.

She looked back at Hazel. "You're, um, gonna be safe, right?"

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:50 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: The magician chuckles a little bit. "You've got stage fright and you're not even doing a speech! That's funny..." He puts the dove back in his cage not before giving it a little kiss. "You're doing great. Believe me, if you weren't this whole shebang wouldn't be going as smoothly as it is." @Maggie (Lexi) [3:51 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Ehhh?" Hazel tilts her head at the princess, a little shocked. "Of course I will be, Lady Hime-sama! I ensure you that I may be cute and small, I am no easy target."

She pats her chest in reassurance, smiling at the blonde.

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:52 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana smiled, too. "Okay, I trust you, so you better not break my trust! Or else I'll be really mad at you!"

@Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) [3:52 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie gives Willy a thoughtful smile, "Thanks, Wonder Boy."

"Still, I hope this goes well..."

@William "Willy Wonder" Sherman (Dingle)

[3:27 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: That is not natural.

"...yes. I've been fuckin' breathing."

@Monoboar! [3:28 PM] Monoboar!: "Cool. Snff."

"There's been alotta breathin' lately."

@Artemis Black (Alex) [3:28 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "I as well... maybe we could just settle on who to vote for, I at least have an idea, as much as I dislike this election idea."

"Still, I hope this goes well..."

@William "Willy Wonder" Sherman (Dingle) [3:52 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "I won't, I won't!" Hazel shakes her head adamantly. "It's for my passion of life that prevents me from facing Death himself~"

@Hana Minami (Melody) [3:53 PM] Eri [arcade]: "Well good luck" Eri leaves to grab a glass of water. [3:54 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma waves at Hazel and Hana, since they're friends ....or friend-ly, at least.

She's bored. [3:54 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel waves at Wilma! [3:54 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana waves at Wilma, too! She looks at Wilma with the least distain out of the rest of the contestants. [3:55 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: "Guess there's only one way to find out." Willy starts doing the Ball and Cup Trick™. "But I think it'll be fine." @Maggie (Lexi) [3:55 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko waves in Eri's direction as she leaves. Sorry, she was too nervous to say anything. [3:56 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie sighs out, getting up to announce "The first speech will happen in 4 minutes!" But who though...

She walks up to Keiko, whispering to her "You'll be up first, honey. Hope that's fine with ya!"

@Keiko Taisei (Heather) [3:57 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel decides to grab Hana's wrist and drag her over to Wilma before any speeches happen. Engage in conversation. [3:58 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko gulps. "Y-yes...of course it's fine. I'm totally fine."

@Maggie (Lexi) [3:59 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie nods, setting up the center for Speech Time. [3:59 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: She gestures Keiko to come.

@Keiko Taisei (Heather) [4:00 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Ok. You've got this, Taisei. You can do this.

She follows Maggie.

@Maggie (Lexi) [4:01 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: "Howdy ladies," Wilma nods her head to the two, a tense smile on her face. "This is a whole rodeo, now ain't it?"

"Been a while since I seen ya, princess and poet. You doing ok?" She pops the 'p's in both of those, either unaware or uncaring that a speech is about to start.

Don't answer her, probably. Or answer fast. I truly don't want to interrupt Keiko. @Hazel Hazeldine (Mars) @Hana Minami (Melody) [4:01 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "And first up to say her speech," she booms out, "iiiis Keiko Taisei!"

She gestures to her, hopefully her loud voice brings everyone's attention. [4:01 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "I'm doing. I... I.... I'm alive!"

An answer, she supposes. Her attention is grabbed by Maggie, uh oh!

@Wilma Ortega (Auz) [4:02 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: "Good enough, I spose." Wilma also turns her attention to Maggie. [4:02 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana was about to answer, but then she looks at Maggie. [4:03 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel turned his attention to Maggie. He's curious. [4:03 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy put away all of his tricks and looks towards Maggie. [4:03 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma offers the chairs at her table to Hana and Hazel. She's been standing anyways. [4:03 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel sits down delicately and thanks Wilma. [4:04 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: Artemis snaps to attention. She runs out to grab a seat near the stage. Go Keiko! [4:05 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana sits down, too! But less delicately. The chair scoots backwards. [4:06 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: "Thank you all for coming..." Keiko starts, a bit nervous, "I'll try to be as brief and as simple as I can, I know no one likes long-winded speeches." she chuckles.

"I want to start by stating my reasons for  joining this election." she places both hands on top of her cane, taking a deep breath, "I care about all of us. Not only because it is my duty as the Ultimate Moral Compass, but because I consider you all my friends, even if some of us haven't talked much to each other. And it is for being my friends that I know it's the least I can do to run for this election, to serve as the person who will help us unite and find our way out of here." she pauses.

"For what is a compass, if not a tool to help one find its way? My objective is not to be an unquestioned leader, but someone who will help us realize our true potential, and ultimately, someone who will make sure no one else leaves this mansion inside a body bag."

"That's not to say my motivations are wholly selfless, of course. Nothing is." she states, "I have so many things I want to do after I get out. I want to finish high school, then go to college...I want to work as a teacher, for little kids, you know?" she smiles, "I want to get married and build a family..." [4:07 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: "I don't want to die at age seventeen. I don't want this horrible place to be where my life ends. I won't let it." she states, no doubts in her voice, "And I don't want any more of us to die, either."

“All of us have things we want to do, dreams we want to accomplish. And even those of us who don’t should have time to figure out what they want. We are so young, and none of us deserves to die.”

"This is why we must act. What happened to Oshiro-san and Bishop-san was a tragedy, and I refuse to let it happen again. And the only way I see to stop it from happening is if we trust each other and work together to beat this game."

"Which brings us to the motives. Monoboar clearly meant to single us out using them --a sort of 'divide and conquer' strategy on his part- so we must do the opposite of what they want. We must unite, because together, we are strong. Together, we are unstoppable." [4:07 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: "Whoever put us here has underestimated us. They expected us to panic, to lose ourselves in this terrible game, but they were wrong. We will make them regret it, and we will persevere! Together!" she finishes her speech, determination shining in her eyes. [4:09 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Aaand that was Keiko Taisei, everybody!" She gives a clap to her. [4:09 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel claps as well. Very nice very nice. [4:10 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy claps. [4:10 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel is in tears now. This is fine. [4:10 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie gives a look to Willy, silently telling him "Are you ready for your speech now?" with her expression.

@William "Willy Wonder" Sherman (Dingle) [4:10 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma claps as well. [4:10 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: Artemis claps loudly, in an excited manner. Go Keiko. [4:10 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: He gives a nod. @Maggie (Lexi)

[4:11 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Oh shit was it that bad? People are crying...Keiko bows awkwardly, all her earlier confidence seemingly gone now that the speech is over, "T-thank you..."

Then she hurries back to her table. [4:11 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana also claps. She reluctantly admits that she liked it... [4:11 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Next up, iiiis..."

"Willy Wonder!" Maggie gestures to the magician to come to the center. [4:12 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel claps. [4:12 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma claps too. I can't think of an interesting way to say this. [4:13 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy takes the stage, cleared his throat and looked around at all the audience, glancing at his cards, then back to the audience. "My fellow ultimates. For too long have we felt the iron fist of the pig and been trapped here! Four weeks without access to the outside world and what do we have to show for it? Two of us, two human beings, dead. We have nobody to blame except the one keeping us here. Why did we see such horror? Why did one of us succumb to such villainy?"

A pause.

"We were not united. All of us were not trusting of each other, not wholly. The pressure put on the by that disgusting boar was what separated us! A chain is stronger when linked than when apart, and that chain is what will set us free from this killing game! With me as leader, I am going to listen. I am going to hear all of your ideas and put forth what the people want- what we want. We must band together, as human beings, to free ourselves of this prison- emotionally and physically. Stop this reckless thieving of people's lives and take a stand! We say no to the motives! We say no to the pig! We say 'We're going to live and we will survive!' " Another pause after finishing his speech, with a determined smile on his face. "Thank you." [4:14 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Damn... Hazel is moved. She nods intently and claps. [4:15 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma claps, looking impressed. He may look like a clown, but he speaks well. [4:15 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana claps, too. Damn!!!!! [4:15 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie quickly comments "How verse!" and brings her hands together. Clap clap clap. [4:15 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko claps politely. [4:15 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Willy Wonder, everybody!" [4:15 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy bows and heads back to his table. [4:17 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie exchanges a look to Wallace.

CK is out, so I'll be using the mascot account to fill in for hir. [4:17 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Next up, Wallace Callaghan!" She gestures to the debater. [4:17 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel's stone cold expression speaks everything. [4:18 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko claps as Wallace walks up. :open_mouth: friend. [4:18 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel's full attention is back. [4:18 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy claps once. [4:18 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Hmph." [4:18 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma claps...slowly. [4:19 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: Artemis scowls. No claps from her. [4:20 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana yawns. [4:20 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie sees the reluctant looks of some folk, mirroring the same expression. [4:20 PM] Monoboar!: Wallace brings himself to the center, clearing his throat. [4:20 PM] Monoboar!: “Fellow Ultimate students,” Wallace begins, drawing himself up to his full height and clasping his hands behind his back, “we find ourselves today in the midst of a situation that I can only describe as harrowing. We have been cut off from our families, our friends, the outside world; kidnapped and thrown into a situation beyond our control with an adversary we cannot even properly identify -- and what’s more, we have already lost some of our own in just this short time. I believe we are all well aware of just how dire this situation is. Therefore, I will not waste any more of your time attempting to convince you of this; nor will I waste effort coating my words with platitudes and telling you such things as ‘everything is all right’ and ‘we’ll all be okay.’ I am not here to mislead you for the sake of promoting a false sense of security. Instead, I choose to approach you all as equals, with utmost respect and honesty, so that we can look at our current predicament with unclouded judgment and collaborate to come up with the best solution. [4:20 PM] Monoboar!: “Right now, we are at a pivotal point in this journey. We’ve lost some of our very own peers; people who we’ve befriended and bonded with; people who have been important to us. Unfortunately, I personally never had the chance to meet Mr. Oshiro or Ms. Bishop before their deaths -- something I do highly regret -- but it has been impossible for me to overlook the impact that the loss of them has had on all of you. It is, no matter how you frame it, a true tragedy. And with all tragedies, there is a period of mourning afterwards, a period where the loss seems almost too much to bear. But eventually, with time, the situation shifts and you must decide how you are going to move forward. How you are going to take the lessons you’ve learned and make the most of your future, for the sake of everyone affected. How you are going to make sure something like this never happens again. So yes, where we are right now, and what we choose to do at this very moment, is absolutely vital. [4:21 PM] Monoboar!: “Which, naturally, brings us to this question of leadership. One of the many reasons I have decided to campaign is that I believe the idea is an incredibly valuable one, and I do commend those who originally came up with the idea.” He nods in Maggie’s direction. “In strenuous times like these, things could swing in either direction -- the direction of order, productivity, and growth, or the direction of chaos, irrationality, and regression. One will help us move forward, and the other? The other could very well cost all of us our lives. The right leader will have the power to direct our course. And, I believe that I am that leader.

“My leadership experience speaks for itself. I’ve captained my school’s debate team since my freshman year, and led us to victory in multiple nationwide competitions. I have always shown myself to be highly dedicated and passionate -- after all, I have been at the top of my class for my entire academic career. Believe me, no one is more committed to ensuring that those with bright futures will go on to succeed in life.” His eyes sweep over the crowd. [4:21 PM] Monoboar!: “At my booth are flyers, free-to-take, containing a more detailed description of my plan for action. To briefly summarize, it involves assembling a dedicated team of investigators to explore the area and note down important details, clues, and potential escape routes. I would also be implementing a rotation-based, multi-person night watch to prevent suspicious activity during that time period, and would also encourage an open channel of communication between myself and all of you. I would be establishing an office for myself in the library, where I would reside during the day when not investigating and where anyone would be able to visit at any time to report suspicions, findings, or undesirable activity by their peers.

“I will reiterate that we are Ultimate students. We are the best of the best. Our loss is the world’s loss. I promise to do everything in my power to ensure that the worst does not come to pass.” He pauses to let that sink in. “Thank you for your time.” [4:22 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel's head is in her hands as she waited for Wallace to end. [4:22 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel claps enthusiastically. That's his friend! [4:22 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: clap. [4:22 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko claps. Well, Wallace is good at speeches. [4:22 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "A lengthy one! A man of... words!"

Maggie gives a clap.

[4:22 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana looks at her nails. [4:23 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma mentally checked out after the first five sentences. [4:23 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Wallace Callaghan, everybody!" [4:23 PM] Monoboar!: Wallace returns to his table. [4:23 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: The poet will at least give credit for his determination. She sighs and looks up. Claps twice. [4:24 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "And to the next one..."

She gives a look to Wilma, silently asking if she's ready.

@Wilma Ortega (Auz) [4:24 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana looks a little more excited. [4:25 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma gives Maggie a grin.

"Sure, Magpie, I 'spose I'm ready as I'll ever be." [4:25 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Wilma Ortega!" She gestures her to the center. [4:25 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko claps. [4:25 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy claps. [4:26 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie claps! [4:26 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana claps! [4:26 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel claps enthusiastically. [4:26 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma makes her way up to the center, hat pulled down so the brim is shading her eyes. She doesn't seem shy, not really, just...humbled.

“Howdy, folks.” She starts quietly. She raises her voice a bit. “I ain't got much to say that hasn't been said.”

“I ain't much for wide-eyed idealism or debbie downers. I know we can get outta this place, but we gotta get our own horses in order ‘fore we can do that. And I might not know y’all, but I been a sheriff fer several years now, and I know a thing er two ‘bout justice ‘n about order.”

She flicks up the brim of her hat, revealing the fire burning in her pink eyes.

“The world ain't gonna end yet, and none of you are, either. Whether y’all elect me or not, I’m gonna be makin’ sure of that.”

She pauses and shrugs.

“That's all I got fer ya, though I sure hope ya listen. Thanks.”

She goes and stands back by her table. Short and simple. [4:27 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel nods, clapping happily. "That was very eloquent...!" [4:28 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "To!" Clap. "The!" Clap. "Point!" Clap.

"Wilma Ortega, everybody!" [4:28 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy claps and nods. [4:28 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "Wilma-chaaan!" [4:29 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko claps. Keiko appreciates that she didn't need many words to convey her point. [4:29 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma pulls her hat down further and looks a little flustered from the attention, especially from the girls sitting at her table. [4:29 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Now last, and certainly not least..."

She gives a look to Renzo, silently asking them if they're ready.

@Renzo Fujita (Keon) [4:46 PM] Renzo Fujita 🔥 God Bless America: Oh boy! It’s their turn! Renzo stands and travels to the center, smiling down at everyone- not that they’d be able to see it. They clasped their hands together and took a breath.

“Hiiiiiiii.” It is at this point that the fact that they did not prepare a speech actually dawns on them, but that’s no problem! They were always good at improv. This wasn’t exactly improv, but it was close enough. “Let us start by saying that this- all of this- is no coincidence. We were chosen to play this game for a reason, and though we may not know it yet... we all will know soon.” They put a hand to their chest. “We are sure of it, we feel it in our blood.”

“...It is obvious that none of us plan to play this game the whole way through, and run around like mice. But that is all part of the world’s plan for us! And we are determined to make sure you all survive to see what your future holds.” They shift a little, eyes darting from person to person. “They, see a bright future for each and every one of you. And each and every one of you deserves what will one day come to you.” That was accidentally ominous. “So we will do everything in our combined power to protect you from the evil forces that first brought all of us together. It is our destiny to do so.”

“We will escape. We know this. Together we are meant to change and grow, and discover our true power- like friends do! Because we are all friends. And it would be such a shame if anything bad happened to any more of you, so please, allow us to protect and lead you.” They tilt from one side to the other, before bowing not-so-gracefully. “We love you all ssso much! Thank you.” [4:48 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie cheers, kinda, and gives a round of applause! [4:49 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel is a little unnerved but claps anyways. [4:50 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy claps a little. [4:50 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko claps slowly. Ok...that was weird. But a speech nonetheless. [4:50 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel just shifts uncomfortably. Ok? [4:50 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "And that was Renzo Fujita!" [4:51 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana blinks. She still doesn't trust that weird looking cosplayer. [4:52 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma claps, but she looks...suspicious of Renzo, now. F. [4:52 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: She grabs the ballot box, holding it out to the crowd. "Now! Pick your vote (if you haven't already) and deposit it in here-" [4:53 PM] Monoboar!: The lights dim suddenly for a moment. [4:53 PM] Monoboar!: ... [4:53 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "...?" [4:53 PM] Renzo Fujita 🔥 God Bless America: “...!”

[4:53 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel hugged his stuffed animal tighter. [4:54 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: "Huh?" [4:54 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: "What the fuck?" [4:54 PM] Monoboar!: "Whadda hell-" Monoboar quietly blurts out. [4:54 PM] Monoboar!: ... [4:54 PM] Monoboar!: The lights brighten back up to normal. [4:54 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "...that was odd?" [4:55 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "..." [4:55 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Looks like Monoboar hasn't been paying his bills!" [4:55 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel pouts towards the boar. [4:55 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Ess Em Atch." [4:55 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Well, hm... I'm gonna..." Hazel gets up to vote. [4:55 PM] Monoboar!: "..."

Monoboar waddles out of the foyer. [4:56 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma has her hand on her pistol. [4:56 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Hmmmm. That is not good at all. Not at all. [4:56 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana looks at Wilma, and then at Hazel. [4:56 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Let's hope that's fine..." She murmurs under her breath. "I think we can... vote...?" [4:56 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: "I don't fuckin' trust this shit." [4:59 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma slowly relaxes and goes to vote, tipping her hat at the other students as she does so.

"Y'all spoke mighty fine."

She returns to her table once she's done. [5:00 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: "A-ah...thank you, Ortega-san. So did you. I appreciate being able to be brief when expressing yourself." she says as she heads towards the box, putting her vote in. Nice. [5:01 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel hesitantly moved to vote, still clutching the weird yellow blob to his chest. He's nervous. [5:01 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana goes to vote, too. [5:01 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: Artemis shuffles up and slams in her vote [5:02 PM] Renzo Fujita 🔥 God Bless America: Renzo goes to vote! [5:02 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy votes.

And shoots out a dove as he does. [5:04 PM] Wawwace Cawwaghan || Election: Wallace votes. [5:16 PM] Kubo Tachibana | Vampire: Kubo IS here!! He votes! [5:16 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel waves at Kubo! Sup. [5:17 PM] Kubo Tachibana | Vampire: Kubo waves back! [5:18 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie gets all the votes, and tallies it up. [5:19 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: She gives a hearty single CLAP out of nowhere. [5:21 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Ladies, gentlemen, and variations thereof..." [5:21 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "I thank you all for attending this lovely election!" [5:21 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Now, say hello to your new leader..."

"Wilma Ortega!" [5:21 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Jazz hands to Wilma. [5:22 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel jumps up, slamming her feet on the ground in the process.

"FUCK YEAH!" [5:22 PM] Kubo Tachibana | Vampire: Kubo claps! Yay!!! [5:22 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: "WILMA-CHAAAAAAAAANNNNN!" Hana screams. [5:22 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "WOO WOO! CHEERS!" Hazel claps. [5:22 PM] Hana Minami! | I can';t: Hana jumps. [5:22 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel claps out of politeness. He has no idea who that is [5:23 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: Maggie is gesturing to her right now. [5:23 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy claps. [5:23 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko claps with a smile, though she's kinda disappointed she didn't win.

[5:24 PM] Renzo Fujita 🔥 God Bless America: Renzo gives Wilma jazz hands. Jazz hands to Wilma. They then scratch at their mask a little. [5:29 PM] Wawwace Cawwaghan || Election: Wallace’s expression is tight and unsmiling in a perfect :| face as he claps politely. [5:29 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel resists the urge to sneer. She's polite and kind she won't succumb. [5:29 PM] 🔫Artemis Black🔫| Pyrotechnics: Artemis claps slowly. [5:42 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: WIlma looks a bit, um...Out of her element. She genuinely didn't expect to win. She's not nearly as well spoken as literally anyone here.

"Well, I'll be." She mutters softly, taking off her hat and holding it to her chest. "I mighty appreciate y'all's faith, and I'll try my best to be deservin' of it."

Wow, um. Even her mun didn't expect this and is unsure what to do. [5:43 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: Hazel is smiling at her proudly. "I trust you to take care of us, Lady Wilma!" [5:44 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Got trust in ya! Just implement whatever ya need to do as a leader whenever!" She has both of her fists up. [5:45 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: "Well...the people have spoken. Our classmates think you're trustworthy, so I will be putting my trust in you as well, Ortega-san." [5:56 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: "Thank ya kindly, Taisei." Wilma takes a deep breath, places the hat back on her head, and straightens up.

"Well, I'm guessin' that's my cue." She looks to Maggie. "I ain't sure if there's any protocol for after an 'lection, or whatever...Think people usually have parties, but I ain't much good at plannin'."

"Might 'swell get straight to work, though." Wilma nods, mostly to herself, and addresses the room. "First of all, I'd like everyone to know y'all got power here. Y'all 'lected me, which I mighty appreciate, but authority ain't nothing without the people. 'Specially y'all that was running with me," She nods to Keiko and Willy. She pointedly doesn't look at Wallace or Renzo. "No man's an is-land, as they say. If we're gonna create some semblance o' order we gotta do it together." [5:58 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: "I read you interview...and I must admit I thought your proposals were very interesting. Maybe we could all merge our proposals now that the election is over?" she suggests. [5:59 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "And that concludes this election!" Maggie dutifully announces.

"Feel free to hang around and talk or return back to your dorms. I'm gonna message the group chat now!" [5:59 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar returns, but not to party. [5:59 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: "Hey, wait a minute." [5:59 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Fuck OFF MONOBOAR. [5:59 PM] Wawwace Cawwaghan || Election: Wallace glances over at Keiko, now officially listening in on the conversation. :ear: [5:59 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar walks away. [5:59 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Oh. [6:00 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma thought so hard at Monoboar that he left. Gay rights! [6:02 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: "Wait just a minute, Miss Magpie." Wilma says. "I think we all owe you some sorta rec'nition." Please stop skipping the middle syllable of words, Wilma.

"You set all this up and did all these interviews, all by yerself. You deserve some applause, too." [6:02 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: !

Maggie is flattered!

[6:03 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: Keiko claps. "You're right...none of this would've been possible if Maggie-san hadn't organized it." [6:03 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: Willy claps real loud and lets out doves as he does. "YEAH!!!" [6:03 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma Been Clapping. [6:03 PM] Wawwace Cawwaghan || Election: Wallace gives a round of applause that’s actually somewhat legitimately polite this time. [6:04 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Aha! Thou art right, Lady Maggie deserves a round of applause! WOO!" She claps excitedly. [6:04 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: She feels her face heat up, glowing red. "Guuuuys! It wasn't that much..."

[6:05 PM] Keiko Taisei | :O: "Nonsense. You went above and beyond to make all of this happen, Maggie-san. Applause is the least we can do." [6:05 PM] Willy | Guess I'll Lose: "Pffft! As if! Weren't you coming over to my table worrying your head off about making it go smoothly?" [6:05 PM] Cerviel Winter | Nest: Cerviel is the physical embodiment of :>. [6:06 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "...A bit!" She replies back to Willy. [6:06 PM] MAGGIE! 🖊 POLITICS!: "Thank you all though... For attending!" [6:07 PM] Hazel Hazeldine | 🔖: "Fufufu... it was no problem, Lady Maggie~ thank you for hosting such an exciting event." [6:08 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: Wilma nods, pleased. Monoboar can come back now if he wants but also I hate him. [6:08 PM] Wilma Ortega || GET DOWN MS PRE: "If any of y'all -prospective leaders er not- wanna come 'n talk with me, feel free to anytime. I got some ideas of my own 'n once I work out how to implement 'em, I'll send 'em out." [6:09 PM] Monoboar!: Monoboar waddles back, just staying for the after party to set things away.
