The music played over the set-up-speakers dims as a familiar voice rings out:

Most Recent Interview:
SPARROW FOR VICE PRESIDENT

Enzo had taken a minute to shake off the heebies from the rather invasive tentacled-interview. He hovered between booths, checked his equipment, dusted the roaches off his hat, straightened his coat, and sauntered into the next Student Council Candidate booth he spotted. Ah! A Vice President position, this time! Perfect.

Tapping a rhythm as he made his way to the front, he swatted away a pair of birds that suddenly became completely entranced with him like a pair of possessed flies buzzing. They could have been after the bugs on the shoulders of his suit but with a final, "SCRAM, damn feathered rats-" He staggered before searching the crowded booth, "There a guy named Sparrow here?" Ah. That would explain the birds.

He didn't recognize the boil that swaggered up to his booth, but Sparrow gave him a bright smile anyway, rocking back on his heels.

"That'd be me," he said cheerfully. "And who might you be?"

Enzo's eyes were still glued upward for any dive bombing feathered shadows. "Sorry, critters just seem t'get sweet on me," He muttered, clearly not being very sweet on them. He made sure his cap was in place protectively before swinging his shoulder-bag of equipment around and offering out a hand, "Enzo. Enzo Valentino. Head of the student Radio Station. You gotta' moment for an bit of on-air gum flappin'?"

Sparrow reached up and grabbed both of the birds in question, dragged them over to their cages, and stuffed them somewhat unceremoniously back into place, snapping the locks smartly shut. Then he turned around and smiled rather sheepishly.

"My apologies," he said lightly, and then reached out and took the boil's hand, giving it a shake. "A pleasure, Enzo," he said, and then blinked at him curiously. "An interview, you mean?" The smile relaxed. "I'd be happy to."

"Copacetic." He wasted no time pulling the bag back around, flipping a few switches and unhooking the microphone from it's cradle, sending a previously-sleeping rat down to the ground at their feet. "Welcome back, listeners! You're tuned in to RA66.6 Radio Amity with The Rat Man live at Fright Night with Vice Presidential Candidate, Sparrow. Now can I say what a relief it is you gotta' mouth, Bird?" The microphone was immediately swung his way.

It took Sparrow a beat to realize what Enzo was talking about.

"Oh," he said with a laugh and shook his head. "Am I correct in guessing you've just been talking to Riley? But I'm glad to make you feel a bit more comfortable."

"Just so long as you keep your hands offa' me, we're good-to-go." Enzo grinned, giving him a wink. "SO! Vice President! That's a pretty big amounta' responsibility!"

"Rest assured, my hands will stay far away from you," said Sparrow, grinning. He folded his arms across his chest and the grin relaxed into an easy smile.

"Yes it is," he agreed. "But nowadays, what isn't? This is a responsibility I'd love to take on, though."

"You organized shindigs before, then?" The first President Candidate he had offered hadn't even thought about it, and the interview with Riley hadn't exactly given a good opportune to explore the topic.

"Ah, not here at school, I'm afraid not," replied Sparrow, with a small laugh. "I'm afraid the other candidate for the vice presidency has more experience in organizing events at Amityville than I have. But that doesn't mean I can't still do my best and work with the student council to have great student opportunities. I could be an amazing planner just waiting to be seen," he added, smiling.

"I'm surprised! A real sheik like you have the dames crawlin', I imagine." Enzo gave the young man a nudge and a wink. "We all know whatta' school fulla' bloomin' flowers is really goofy for, ammirite?"

The rat was growing antsy, and they were far from that lovely cake-ridden booth, and soon set about sniffing at Sparrow's shoes and investigating his socks.

Another laugh.

"Well, I don't know about that," he said, eyes twinkling with amusement. The rats around his feet itched a little, but he made no move to step away. "But I'm afraid I'm already happily taken."

"Alas, yes," said Sparrow, with as straight a face as he could muster. "But that's just how it goes sometimes, isn't it?"

He grinned a little, and then blinked, momentarily confused. "Ah...I'm afraid I might not understand what it is you're asking, but if you mean what's my number one goal as Student Council Vice President, it would be unity among the students. I don't draw lines or discriminate; everyone's on equal footing in my book, and I'd love to see a wider sense of camaraderie among everyone."

"I was more lookin' for if you preferred potato or pumpkin, but that works too! Aehehehe well we're outta' time but thanks for the level! This is RA66.6 with The Rat Man, we'll be back soon with anotha' Student Council Candidate!" A flip of a switch and music resumed back at his booth and over the airwaves.

"Thanks, man, thanks! Here's a little sommin' for your trouble, good show!" He was smiling perhaps just a bit too wide as he tucked a token into Sparrow's chest pocket. "Be sure to tune in, guy!" The birds were already picking at the locks of their cages again, and Enzo was quick to scram before they decided to follow him home.

Of course Miss Danny had gestured to this wheel. He could only hope that the rat did not get in his pants again. It was slightly bizarre.

This time he actually got...bees? He began snatching them out of the air happily and popping them into his mouth. A bit on the sweet side but a delicious snack nevertheless.

Freya had nothing for Enzo to drink. The closest thing she had was her bubblegum flavored snowcone.. but that was made of ice. It would quench a thirst. Wouldn't it?

Maybe?

"Enzo, wants teh shares my snowcone?" She asked sweetly.

Did you bring a drink? sort.. of..? 8D

Rat Man? That sounded interesting! Chaya trotted up to the booth and gave Enzo an interested look that soon turned into a mildly disappointed one. "You smell like rat, but you are not a rat," she observed. Then a small scuttling movement caught her eye, and her ears perked up with interest. "Oh, are those snacks?" she inquired brightly, eyes fixed on the cockroaches.

Whether the frog leg shake she put down on the booth was originally intended to be for Enzo or not, it could easily be taken as a donation.

Games of chance were always fun. Especially when you got to spin big ol' wheels and watch them go round and round and round...and...round. @3@

Once Mei was done being entranced by the spinning of the wheel by the previous player she stepped on up. Rolling her wrist the popping an elbow before blowing into her hands and rubbing them together. As she finally grasped the wheel, the ghoul flung her arm and sent it spinning. Almost to the point of spinning the wheel off it's spinner. Perhaps she should have spun it a little...not so hard.

Oh well too late now! As the skeleton hand ticktickticked against the pegs she frowned as it finally stopped. No prize for her. Wah wah.

Miss Danny was having him hold the jerky. She had just had two pieces...right?

Apparently the ghoul was good luck for him, because for the first time the rat just flat out brought him a prize. Though Yin was slightly worried that it was looking at his pants a bit too long.

Not to be disappointed, the ghoul gave the wheel yet another spin. Her head bobbing up and down as she watched it spin round and round and round and round and....

It began to slow and then landed on one of the prize spots.
