As Bea stood there in front of the third-year student, she shifted her weight from side to side as she was subtly picking at the barnacle growing on her arm. Student Council... Just the thought of all those hard worked booths destroyed not too long ago by that gigantic fearados made her feel... depressed. At first Bea was reluctant about trying for public relations again, but then she realized why she worked so hard on her campaign booth. It was all for the students! The seaweed haired ghoul nodded at the third-year and happily took the clipboard from her. "Ah, thank you!" giving a soft, warm smile as she tilted her head to the side, "I'd love to try out." Though she had a feeling that her chances of winning were slim, but it wasn't about winning... It was about the experience. Bea was optimistic and looked forward to meet all sorts of different students at the Academy. Bea signed her name as neatly as she could, making sure it's readable and perfect.

He had really debated not signing up.
Part of him hadn't wanted to at all -- the student council, as sorry as he was to say it, had been a joke. All the students who had been elected had completely shirked on their duties, himself included, but the difference was he was known for shirking. He had campaigned on it, everyone knew it -- it wasn't a secret that he didn't go to class and was basically a huge a*****e. But the rest of them... he had genuinely been surprised. Shocked, even. Maybe even... disappointed. Oh sure, they had tried -- there were the feeble attempt at parties, the half-assed help they had offered professors, but in truth, they hadn't even really tried. And he ... had really wanted the council to succeed. Underneath the bravado and egotistical 'I couldn't give a damn,' he really had. And when everyone had been surprised and amazed at his attempt to bring Prom to Amityville, because lets face it, who would have ever guessed the meat-head class-ditcher to organize anything, he hadn't told them that it was because he wanted to bring back the name of Student Council.
Another part of him ... really did want to sign up again. An infuriating part, in its own right, because his reasons were just so... pathetic. He wanted that camaraderie that was supposed to come from things like this. And almost worst, he actually wanted to help. Except this time help under the guise that he was not helping, like it was supposed to have worked the first time.
And then there was that last part, that morality that he claimed he did not have, that told him that he should let other people take over the mantle, try their hand, not take away from them. That had almost been the hardest part of all -- rationalizing why he gave a crap about that s**t. He was working so hard not to care, to be that selfish jerk he really so desperately did want to be, and yet there it was, like a weed that he crushed beneath his heel time and time again, but just.. kept... coming... back. It had been enough to send him into fits of irrational rage, and he'd pounded the walls of his dorm several a night, enough to leave indents and scratches in a few places.
At the last possible moment, Nuk stepped up to the sign up sheet, not bothering to hide it, not bothering to even look cocky as he signed his name, more wondering what this meant for him as a person than what other people thought.

Something sinister lurked in the shadows. Something, or someone, whose wide hat brim hid their features from view. Someone who was slimy, grimy, and had a badge pinned haphazardly to their vest. The lone figure glanced left and right furtively before scribbling their name across the bottom of the board. Cady dropped the chalk to the ground, satisfied, and then stepped on it while attempting to make a hasty retreat, face planting in front of the board. Citizens of Halloween, beware.

The words. "Sweet sally I am so late" Were nothing short of a understatement at this moment. Astra wasn't sure how she was able to forget about the student elections, but she had. She had completely forgot about them after the fearados had destroyed her booth, and she had spent the rest of the festival dodging floresense and stealing eggs, and afterwards...well. she just plain forgot. But then it may be part of her nature. She lost interest in things pretty quickly if there was something new and shiny to distarct herself with. However, she had hoped that wouldn't apply to things like homework, and assignments, and student elections And so, when the fairy had realized that there was only a few hours left to sign up, she had made a mad dash to the school cafeteria, scribbled her name onto the clip board, and promptly fell over trying to catch her breath

The siren had been biding his time in the hallway. Each time another student had come and gone, he had watched them and done his best to hide the worry and panic on his face. Didn't they know what they were doing? They were feeding it. They were feeding the beast that was a popularity contest! They were helping the game that was cruel favoritism! Oppression! Lies and slander! He could see it now, smear campains, friends fighting friends, ghouls trying too hard and having fright fights over who was a better candidate. Oh the inhumanity! Israfel had tried in the past to stop this hearsay of the system, he'd tried to fight the power. While he had lost his resolve had never wavered. He would fight thi oppresive system to the bitter end, Princess Corner or not, he was a stubborn siren jack damn it. And he refused to let this..this...mockery of comradery stand! Running to the sign up sheet, he pulled out his special pen snake. Brown and chocolate scented. He needed to make sure no one would see him or connect him to his handle, to the symbol of freedom. He did not desire the power, he desired the school free of.. this. Still, with fluid script he signed the name of the icon. The icon that could change the things. All the things. Forever. Looking at his handiwork he realized he could it. No one was around to stop him. Well, granted the headmistress probably would know but she was magic like that and would probably know he was doing this anyway. She was Hellma after all. Still a bit of childish filled Israfel as he 'added' to what he was going for.  It was a position technically. It was also very immature. Which was just why as Israfel fled he was torn between giggling and putting on his serious face. All the positions were very serious business after all. Even bedroom.

The recruiter for the student council looked her list over. It seemed this year it was a mix of both first and second years. It looked like some were back for more, whereas others would be in for a surprise. Now for the fun part! The candidates for this semester are:President:B. Mudd Riley Vice President:Mandy Junko Nukpana Secretary:Christof Public Relations:Amrita Shehk Beatrix Monroe Cady Astra Treasurer:Sparrow Heartreed Jericho Bloodbane Calder Elizabeth Baines Unfortunately for Count Chocula, there was no such position as "All the Positions." Even bedroom. Or was there?Quote: OOC: CAMPAIGNING From Oct 26th to September 2nd all candidates must advertise! for their campaign. How you want to do it is up to you, you can make cute little collectible pins for yourself, can make banners for your student to post in your sig (along with ones for your friends!) and the likes. Really get it circulating among the student population, you can even create ORP campaign threads (how you want to present this is up to you!) and prp vote advertising to other students. Be as creative as you want (within boundary rules) in terms of roleplaying, thread activity and perhaps a little bit of banner advertising. Show us what you got! (Be careful though! As pushing too hard can easily backfire and lose votes instead of gaining them!) From September 2nd to the 9th will begin the Student Council speech so be prepared!
