Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ruth wasn't certain if she'd participated in the last SC elections. Not that it would matter as she would have simply voted for the Abstain option (or crossed it out and replaced it with None of the Above) back then. She was tempted to do that as a second year, truth be told, ballots were supposed to be anonymous aren't they? However, her second year persona declared she was a conscientious and painfully shy ghoul, and was therefore obligated to participate in school events.

Or at least those that directly affected her and her surroundings.

Which was why she was at least going to give each booth a look-see. Scope out the candidates, their platforms, and what they promised to do for the school. And then vote none of the above or pick the one with the best-looking posterior. And that brings the blonde reaper to the first open booth she saw.

The shrinking violet was not sure if she liked the chilly reception. And that was just the atmosphere! Would the dragon boil be as frosty in his interaction?

Ohhh! Shiki smiled as the cup lifted showing the diamond. He clapped his hands and blushed. "Thank you for... For letting me try.."

As she neared, Alpinely was holding up one of her arms straight overhead and ahead of her a few inches while the palm of said arm appeared to be shivering. Was she cold perhaps? Well as she approached closer the toothy grin she was beaming showed no apparently chattering teeth if any such sign was applicable to her smile at all. Perhaps and likely so she had simply opted for a strange form of a wave in greeting either subconsciously or consciously, either of these cases on the other hand were of approximately equal likelihood with Allie being the strange one that she was.

"Hiii, I am so glad to see you again!!" Alpinely cheerily addressed with recognition the boil who chilled the yikescrophone during both his skarraoke performances at the Norebang! carnival booth. The Vampire ghoul then hopped twice in place. Thrilled would be a fitting word of description for her current state of being, like she was meeting a celebrity. This probably was very much the case in that mind of hers. In her mind all the skarraoke performers she had met in this festive occasion would probably been seen with a celebrity label if her head could be cut open and her thoughts visually examined.

Alpinely then joined her hands in a gesture of clap as her field of vision began to take in more of the booth aside from the booth's host. Upon catching sight of the pins, she stared at them a long moment with a sparkle of inspiration in her eyes.

Upon receiving the prompt to pick one, she broke into a chorus, "Eee knee mean-ie mine eee oh!!" At the finish, she wasted no time in picking up the Treasure Gabby pin beneath her hovering hand which her selection song indicated for her to choose in breaking her indecisiveness and pinned it to scarf's tail segment by her waist where it could wave freely for all to see and she herself could see it with relative ease. She gave a happy nod smilingly to herself in confirmation of proving that it did make all things glitter amazingly as her scarf demonstrated.

And the choices didn't end there apparently as she repeated the chorus when given the option to choose between three overturned cups. "A shining diamond!!" she responded in awe at the reveal.

I WON!

Following close on Amarus's heels was a young skeleton, uncharacteristically silent as he took a look around. Treasurer. Not a position he aspired to himself, but this dragon certainly seemed a perfect fit. Plus, he was fearless and stylish too!

Rojo waited until the ghoul had finished speaking before posing a brief question of his own. "How did you learn to be so cold, Mr. Gabby? The Undead dorms could use someone with your skills on the higher floors. I mean... not in my room. I smell wonderful!" He shook his head, one of the petals from Llyr's flower crown floating toward the ground.

As soon as he'd opened the booth, he realized people were coming closer. Gabby sucked in a breath, pushed down every instinct to be annoyed, and tried his hardest to not immediately close the booth. What came of his attempts was a mixture of his cold, crisp personality, and something vaguely resembling friendliness. It was unnerving for him.

"Welcome." He called out quietly to Ruth, as she inspected his booth. "Have a button." He gestured towards them feebly. Sybil had made him buttons the moment she'd heard about his choice to run, which was fortuitous for him since he was simply going to show up and stand there with nothing to give out except minipets he was trying to get out of his room.



A boil came to play with the cups that Gabby had set up as a crude game, and immediately won the pet that made Gabby's words hypocritical. "Well." Gabby muttered as he handed over the minipet. "I guess the diamond is the prize, this time."



He remembered the boil from his flower crown booth at the carnival, and as soon as he saw him coming Gabby perked with interest. Those flower crowns had been his favorite part of the festival - and sure enough, Llyr had thought to bring him one today as well. Gabby immediately put it on his head. "Thank you." He sounded genuine about it, even. "I don't need luck, but I do need flower crowns. Good luck to you, too."

If that boil won president, there would be flower crowns every day. That sounded pleasant.



Directly on Llyr's heels came another visitor, one who recognized him from when he sang at the carnival. Gabby ducked his head, and gave her a weak nod. "It's a pleasure." He murmured, more grateful for the distraction when she started to play the game. "Thank you for wearing my pin. Please vote for me. Here is your prize." Was he doing this right? It was so hard to tell. He just hoped he didn't sound like a robot.



Amarus joked of trickery, but Gabby didn't seem to be laughing. He simply watched her even more carefully as she played the game, mumbling something about of course it's real everything that was his was real as he slid the cups around and let her choose. When the cup was revealed, there was no diamond, but she was already introducing herself. Another candidate for the council, and that meant Gabby had to try to be a little nicer. He gave her a weak, shaky smile. "A pleasure, Amarus. I wish you the best of luck. I'm not entirely fond of sweets, but - " His eyes were on that brownie. "My mind is troubled."



As he waited for the brownie, another boil started to shoot questions off at him. Gabby flickered his glance at Rojo as he answered. "I was born this way. I am in the undead dorms often, as my boilfriend lives there. I will be sure to offer my services if they're ever in need. Perhaps if I am elected I can do something more about the smell."

He'd never smelled anything down there. Was there something he was missing by being a ghost?



Elliot's question was met with a quick correction. "Silver and diamonds, in my case, but yes. Here is your prize, and I thank you for your vote. You are very kind. I hope you enjoy the rest of this event."

He wished someone was recording all of this, so that he could play it back for Efflo and say look what a good boil I am being.

Amarus wasn't oblivious to the discomfort Gabby seemed to be in from her mere presence. She gave him the brownie but with a sly smile. "You would not be the first to dislike sweets. Freya... someone dear to me, that is to say, was very careful about her perfect figure. If that is the case, I can offer you something else. Enzo would have cautioned me against free samples but I do it so rarely, now."

Amarus reached towards her inner robe automatically, remembering she was not wearing it. With the ghost of a frown, she reached into the sash tied around her waist instead, and pulled a vial out of it, handing it over. "What troubles your mind, may I ask? In any case, a few drops of this will ease your heart and mind. It is especially useful as a sleep aid, I find."

Naturally she'd leave that as a parting gift. She was only too happy to medicate her fellow students. After all, who amongst them could honestly say they did not have a heavy heart?

Gabby held up the vial, inspecting its contents. "I don't want to fall asleep, though. Will this make me fall asleep? I need to be awake enough to keep anyone from stealing my diamond. I'm not sure anyone would vote for a sleeping dragon." He did, however, take a bite out of the brownie. He did not hate sweets, they simply weren't interesting to him. He was cordial enough to try a gift, no matter what it was.

He kept the vial handy, just in case things got too stressful for him later on.



Ruth's request was straight forward, but confusing enough that Gabby, after having taken a bite of the brownie that was infused with Amarus' lotus essence, simply turned a slow, careful turn. He put his hands up in a shrug, as if to say was there something on my back?

Amarus smiled. "If you take it all at once, it will almost certainly knock you into a very strange slumber-- I would not recommend it. Better to save that for later, when you are in need, it is true. I would not want you falling asleep on your campaign!" Amarus finished her sentence with emphasis; she really meant that. She would hate to be responsible for anything of that nature. Amarus was not one for sabotaging.

She also actually hated pranks, so that wasn't her goal, either. Some part of her must genuinely want to help, and she just didn't know how to do it in a healthy way. Her personality was kind of in the way.

"I am glad you had a bite of the brownie, at least-- I will return to my booth, so that you do not feel obligated to have any more," she said, and wandered off after a brief bow.
