Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alcyone looked around curiously wondering why she was doing this. Oh yeah, doing her 'civic duty' as a student. She had scribbled everything down on a piece of paper, her script-like handwriting was distinctive and clear as she put the paper in the envelope and sealed it. The water demon had listened to everybody's speeches and her choices were clear. There were a few that definitely appealed to her and some that definitely did not... And there were the ones that she wasn't sure about though she tried to go with her gut feeling. She hated thinking too much and then changing her mind in the end. Alcyone had considered running herself but she wanted to get a feel of the school before jumping into any huge commitments. She had met a lot of new students in the past few weeks and she was surprised to see that she recognized a lot of the students that were running for council.

Voting didn't seem that significant to Alcyone though she knew that it was good that she was at least paying attention. Someday these positions might actually be able to make a difference in the school and Alcyone didn't want idiots handling those decisions. Walking towards the booth, Alcyone slipped her votes into the ballot box and went back to her dorm contemplating on a new adventure.

It was his first time voting and he moved up to grab a makeshift ballot and looked over the listed options. There had been little hesitation in circling the names of those he knew. His friends were close to him and he was sure that if they had a good judge of character to pick him as their friend, they were sure to treat everyone else just a kindly as they had him. He also had a duty to keep a CERTAIN EVIL SOMEONE from winning lest he should take advantage of his dear friend. He was not about to place villains in a seat of power to only create more diabolical plots against his tender, sewn-up lady-friend.

But there were names he didn't know, and this is where he was, half kneeling on the table with his tail up in the air and face set in a frown of concentration. He had only a vague recollection of the speeches from before, but the only thing that had lasted was the desperate urge to get his hands on some chocolate-covered lilacs. With what little he could remember, and maybe some guilty 'Eeny-meeny-miny-moeing', he made his decision and slipped the his votes into the sloppy-decorated mailbox. It was final, and he walked off, wondering if he had made the right choice. Well, it wasn't like he was in the student council. He just hoped his friends got in and, if they did, they could balance out all the other people out. Right?

Calder wasn't very good when it came to politics.

Standing at the booth, Mei looked over who to vote for. None of these people were familiar to her, so its not like she was going to vote for a friend or anything. Perhaps if she had actually listened to the speeches, rather than reading her dirty magazines through out the whole ceremony, she would have had an easier time choosing from the contestants. Scratching her head with slight irritation, she decided to do what was right. And what was right to her, was to vote for whatever name that came to mind. Yes. At random was best, at least this way she wasn't being biased.

Ever the procrastinator, Morrigan finally got around to the voting booth. She really didn't care about who was running or who to vote for. She had no interest at all in the student body or the school having any kind of leadership or structure. She was all about the chaos and that definitely reflected in her choices.

She noted the boys first and separated the hot ones from the not so hot ones. Really, if there was going to be students leading them or whatever, they should at least be good looking, right? Once she separated the hots from the nots, she considered their species and whatever she knew about them. Some creatures just did not need to have any deciding power and she had no problems judging them based on species. This equality bs going around was just that, bullshit!

After a few minutes, she realized how boring this really was and just scribbled the first thing that came to mind on the piece of paper before stuffing it into the box. Who cared who the student council was? She'd probably ignore them anyway.

Rules were made to be broken.

(OOC - Like Hitsu, I am also giving this a shot, though not sure if it counts!)

It wasn't that he had forgotten about voting so much as... Morton had simply taken his sweet time getting there. In all honesty, he wasn't all too fussed about the elections; not because he hadn't heard the speeches, mind you, because he had. Some of them had been ahh... interesting, to say the least. He'd gone because he simply hadn't had anything better to do (which was, all in all, sad, really), expecting to be bored out of his mind, and yet he'd found himself rather entertained by the whole thing.

Despite that, he didn't really thing these elections were that much of a big deal. Better late than never, he pondered as he snatched one of the papers and eyed the choices. It took him a while to recall speeches and link them to the given names, but he after a while, the Gargoyle ticked off his choices, folded the paper and dropped it into the upturned mailbox.

Granted he wasn't fussed about it, but he was still rather curious in knowing what the results would be - he idly wondered if anyone he'd voted for would end up picked. Or rather... he wondered about it for a whole of two minutes before clapping his hands once and deciding it was a perfect time to go climb up to the roof and laze about some more!
