 Situated in a small corner away from the hubbub of all the other booths and students vying for attention and votes sits...a box. More specifically a box that probably once carried some unfortunate creature inside that was destined for the lunchroom and very hungry students.
The box is covered with a white sheet (taken from the laundry - it even has a small stain on it!) and situated on the sheet are several small buttons. They're arranged rather half-hazard, as though whomever put them there was uncertain of what they wanted them to look like, but the message is clear.
Someone is trying to run for office from this little box booth.   ( buttons are thanks to Pach. She is amazing, and without her these would not be here. Thank you Pach!
The banners you see floating around are thanks to haliekins! Without her I'd be bored! Thank you Halie! )

Chuppi didn't really know what this whole "campaigning" thing was really about, though upon asking one of the gnomes she got a decent enough answer that told her if she wanted to become the vice president she needed to get others to vote for her. In short, the gnome said, it was a popularity contest and whomever had the most friends would win.
. . . .Chuppi had only joined the race to actually make friends, not use them for something, and thus had been rather disheartened to hear that. She didn't want to force anything on anyone! She just. . . well, it was too late to back out anyway, right? With some help from one of the nicer gnomes that she had given something to (it wasn't a bribe in her mind, but the gnome sure took it that way) she'd somehow managed to get a booth set up - even if it was in a corner and small and way away from everyone else. It was just perfect for her height though, she could stand behind it and still be seen, and so the chupacabra waited to see if something would happen. Maybe people would come over and talk to her? She did have pretty buttons. . .
( Open for posting! )

Chuppi was running for president! ...Vice president! G really didn't know what the difference was, but president was important, and that meant Chuppi was going to be important!
...Well, she was already important to G. ...He was going to have to think about how this worked.
Regardless, the monster was all too happy to come up to visit his friend, calling out to her. "Chuuuuppiiiii." His tail was thumping against the floor quite loudly at this point, and he had to pause to sniff at the stain that was on the white sheet. It smelled like lunch!
"Chuppi make a good not-president!" He said enthusiastically, beaming at the small chupacabra.

"G! Are you running too?"
Chuppi practically jumped from behind her box-booth and ran over to her friend, the small monster hugging the much larger monster in the best way that she could. A large smile decorated her little face, showing off her rows of razor sharp teeth, and she buried her head against him for a moment or two before letting go. Chuppi loved to see G, he always brightened her day simply because he made her feel safe and happy.
"Does G have buttons? You can have one of mine, if you want it. And thank you, but...um....I don't know what it means to be a president or vice-president. I just...want to make school more fun for all of us, you know?"
The chupacabra released her friend and waddled back over to her box-booth where the buttons lay, her expression a little sad now. People seemed so sure of what they wanted, but. . .Well! Chuppi would try!

Raziel had come into the vote pandering area not so much to see who was there, but what was there. He was more interested in the swag being handed out than what some of the people had to say. Walking around slowly, Raziel came to Temes table. He could see that this monster was very short, very short. He glanced over her list of things that she wanted to fix, and finding them decent enough to go along with, grabbed a button off the table and made along his merry way.
Raziel wouldn't let anybody know it, but one of his main reasons for picking Temes would be the height factor. Raziel preferred shorter people in power, they were always more entertaining.

Maritess was all smiles when she flew to the booth, not a bat-book in sight, which was good because while the almost-accidentally-beaning-the-chupacabra ended favorably, Tess would rather never have that happen again. So she was careful in her flight and careful where her arms went when she waved to the odd couple of G and Chuppi.
"Hi," she greeted, lowering herself enough so she could read over the buttons and pick the one she liked best, "Could I have this one?" she asked, pointing to the purple pin that upon seeing made Tess immediately think of the chupacabra.

"Yes!" G gushed enthusiastically, and carefully did his best to return the hug. Luckily his tail wasn't near Chuppi's both, because it started to flail like crazy. G liked hugs! And G liked Chuppi, so that made it doubly good.
"G has buttons!" ...Somewhere, anyway. The monster peered at his hands perplexedly for a moment, wondering where they'd gone, but was happy to take one of the green buttons. "G like this one. Green 'n with ther..thermrrrmrrmos, yes?" He remembered the thermrmrmrmrmos, very well!
He seemed to sense Chuppi's change in mood, and gently patted the top of her head. "Chuppi make things fun. G knows." Came the reassurance, but the monster caught sight of Tess and beamed at her happily. "Hi!" He liked Tess!

"Tess!"
Chuppi's little mood changed once again to happiness as she ran over to embrace her floating friend and track teammate, the chupacabra always glad to see the undead. She gave her a hug the best she could, glad to know she couldn't really poke any legs since there were none to stab. The chupacabra had noticed Raizel come by but he'd left before she had a chance to say anything, prompting the little girl to smile at least when she noticed he took a button.
"Oh, Tess and G know one another? That makes me happy then too! I like when my friends are friends with one another, and now we can all talk together and it makes me happy that you both want my buttons! I want one of G's buttons too, is it at your booth? Is that why you're wearing a hat too G?"
Chuppi tried to reach up and touch the bowtie that was G's eyepatch, and to touch his bucket hat. As silly as it looked the chupacabra really thought it suited her friend, making him look...dignified.
"I wish I could offer more than buttons for you guys. Does...does anyone want some blood? I can offer fresh blood."

"Hi again, G," Maritess smiled at him before the smile grew wider when she learned that the two student council candidates were friends. She returned the hug Chuppi had given her, glad for once that she had no legs that risked getting spiked, "And I'm definitely gonna vote for the both you," she promised, "But not because you're my friends but because I believe you'll both do great!" she declared in earnest, pinning Chuppi's button beside that of G's.
At the offer of blood, Maritess politely declined. She still felt like she hadn't made it up to the smaller ghoul for spilling half the contents of her thermos. "Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you. I just had a bottle of amniotic fluid from the scare package my mom sent me. Do you like amniotic fluid?" she asked both Chuppi and G, she was certain she had enough to share. She'd have to go back to her dorm room to get them but she figured it would be a good way for the other students to see the buttons she wore.

Chuppi had supported her by visiting the booth, and Lizzy thought that it was only fair to return the favor - besides, she was curious about what her goals as potential Vice President were. She was trying very hard to be neutral where selections were concerned, choosing to carry only her own pin as well as pins from every booth that she had visited so far around... Even if they contradicted each other since it was impossible to vote for everyone.
There was a small box in her hand as she approached the booth, one that looked like it used to contain a pair of boots although it sure didn't smell like one. A cat plushie made to resemble one of Lizzy's favorite Monsters (not that she had met many) laid inside, together with a smaller thermos plushie that Lizzy wasn't 100% satisfied with. She wanted to attach the two together, but thought that it might be more fun to separate the two and sew a small Velco 'hooks' square on the paw of the cat plushie and a similarly sized 'loops' square near the back of the thermos plushie so that Chuppi could attach or detach it at will.
"Chuppi! And hey guys!" She greeted the Monster with a grin before turning to offer a nod of greeting to everyone else; she recognized Tess, and G (Why must they be rivals? Whyyy?!) and caught sight of someone leaving just as she arrived. She slowed down, looking a little hesitant; what if she was interrupting something? However, it didn't seem like they were conversing about anything private...
Walking up to Chuppi, she presented the box with outstretched arms, trying not to look too eager, "Its a 'Good luck' gift from me! Oh, and please don't eat this one either."

With a great deal of noise, as she banged to creepateria door, and movement, there was a good bit of flailing going on, Belladonna dashed across the large room up to Chuppi's campagin booth. There were already a few people there, a few she knew and a very large one she hadn't been properly introduced to, but of whom she had seen a great deal of (he was rather big...) around campus.
"Vote for Chuppi!" She called out the surrounding people, even those already standing nearby. She waved her hands in the air, turning back to admire the little pins set out and the multiple, very fancy looking, pictures before finally turning to all the people.
"Hello Tess, Lizzy! Hello Large-Student-I-Don't-Know!" Beaming at them all, she turned back to Chuppi, pointing a finger at her dramatically. "My mother always says not to trust politicians, but if you're promising lower seats than I will certainly trust you!" After all, a lower seat would help with voluminous skirts. The normal sized desks meant she was always running into them and disrupting other student's work and there was NO WAY she would going to lessen her skirts, so the only option were lower seats. Plus she could sit more daintily, with her legs bent slightly at the knees and crossed just ever so against the other. Oh!! It was sheer delight!
