This particular booth is pretty simple. Made out of smooth, clean cut wood and draped with a pale blue tablecloth, there is hardly any fanfare, overly extravagant decorations, or anything too unusual. In the center of the booth, on a sign that hangs from the top, are the words "Sparrow for Treasurer" scrawled in a neat and tidy handwriting:

 There's a plush sitting on the corner of the table. Sparrow isn't exactly certain where it came from, but it certainly is cute, so he left it up there.
...in fact, there are several of them, so he's decided to just hand them out.
Sitting beside the plushie is a basket neatly filled with pins:
  
There is a sign beside the basket that reads "Please take one!"** Thanks to Inu-Mitsu for the plushie and Onnie for the pins! **

Sitting in the center of the booth, wedged between the plushie and the basket of pins, is a very smug looking minipet....
"This is Copernicus," Sparrow says, with a sort of affectionate gesture towards the Pavo. "He's, er...my mascot, I suppose you could say?"
It's clear that the winged creature is sizing you up as you enter, a mild sort of curiosity evident on his face as he surveys you.
"Don't mind him," says Sparrow, as he unnecessarily tidies up the booth a bit. "He likes to think of himself as my bodyguard, though naturally that's not true and I don't particularly need a bodyguard."
"Oh," the reaper adds, after a moment. "He's perfectly harmless, so there's no need to worry."

Copernicus seems to be guarding something...

It had taken Sparrow a long time of internal debating, meandering back and forth, and wrestling with himself to finally decide to run for office on the Amityville Student Council. And then he had taken an even longer time attempting to figure out just which office to run for.
In the end he finally settled for Treasurer. While he wouldn't have minded running for something higher, perhaps for President or Vice President, he had a feeling his "new-kid-on-the-block" syndrome might hinder his chances of getting votes. So he had settled for a lesser - but still quite important - office. Besides, the Treasurer kept track of the money, which meant math - and Sparrow loved math almost as much as he liked trying to impress the ladies.
Which, he had decided, was also another potential benefit if he were fortunate enough to win the election. More opportunities to meet ghouls.
...all right, perhaps that wasn't the best motive, but truth be told Sparrow was really just anxious to be more...involved with the school. He had missed his opportunity to join the prom committee, so this was his chance to stand out and be noticed.
So he sat behind his booth, making sure everything was as neat and tidy and presentable as it should have been, and waited for people to arrive.
Copernicus gave him a withering stare, making a mild discontented noise.
"All right, all right," Sparrow said, and pushed himself to his feet. "You're right, I shouldn't be sitting; gives a bad first impression."
He moved to the side of the booth, standing with his hands tucked neatly in front of him.

She was wandering around again, doing everything possible to avoid anything that had potential to scare the ever living crap out of her. No surprise that she'd lost track of...everyone again. Really, she just did not like the scary places at all. Funny. And she was supposed to be a scary werewolf? Epic fail there! But at least she hadn't been the only one that had gotten a little shaken up with some of the things discovered in that jack damned haunted house.
So, in an effort to forget and find something safer to do with her time, LW was glancing around at some of the new booths that had been set up while she was...wandering pink halls of doom. It took her a few booths to pass before she started noticing that not all the booths were game booths. There were campaign booths as well. Wait. Campaign booths? The she-wolf slowed in her wanderings. Oh wait! Hadn't there been an announcement about Student council re-elections coming up? Right! So these were those students running for a spot on Student council.
Curious (this should not have come as a surprise to anyone), the she-wolf started maneuvering through the different booths. She wanted to see who all was running. Riley seemed to be. And a few other faces. But it was one particular booth that drew her eye. It was not as...extravagant as all the others (why she swore had glitter all over it!). However the boil that was sitting there made up for that.
Tail swishing with pleasant surprise, LW bounded over towards the booth. And it's occupant now standing beside it. "Sparrow!" She called out cheerfully, walking up only to pause and admire the objects sitting at his booth. And his minipet. Then she looked up at him with a wide grin. "Running for Student council, are you? Why am I not too surprised." She teased.

A very familiar voice caught Sparrow's ear, and he turned his head, a broad smile making his lips curve upwards. "My dear LW," he said, and reached for the she-wolf's hand, taking her slender fingers in his gloved ones and pressing a brief kiss in greeting to the back before letting go (although he may have squeezed her hand a bit too). "And why yes, I am indeed running for student council."
He was always quite pleased to see LW. The ghoul was fun, cheerful, and delightfully charming, not to mention quite beautiful as well. The way her cheeks colored easily, and the way her tail wrapped around her leg when she was feeling bashful or embarrassed was altogether adorable. Sparrow leaned against the side of the booth, one arm folded against his midsection, the other hand resting on top of Coperinicus' head, absently stroking his fur.
"So, my dear," Sparrow said, eyes twinkling mischievously. "You going to vote for me?"

She was starting to discover that gloves felt silky against skin. And that Sparrow liked grabbing hands (she really hadn't noticed him around other ghouls, but she assumed he did this with them as well). AND he was almost pro now at pulling that faint blush out to stain her cheeks. Why did he manage to do this so easily? Jack, why could anyone do it so easily? Although certain boils seemed (and one particular ghoul) seemed to bring out the worst blush without even trying. Just to add to it, Sparrow through in a squeeze as well and the she-wolf couldn't help but offer him a sweet smile.
"Really? That's awesome!" LW grinned brightly and looked around at his booth again, tail lazily swinging from side to side. For once, she was actually not afraid and clinging to the nearest person! It was nice and made her even more cheerful being here. Movement from the reaper drew her gaze back to him as he leaned against the booth, an arm atop his minipets head. The she-wolf glanced at Copernicus again. He was cute. Like his owner.
"Hmmm?" Violet eyes met mischievous ones. A slow curl spread along her lips. "Am I going to vote for you?" LW put a hand on her hip and tapped her chin, 'thinking'. "Now why ever would I do a thing such as that?" She asked innocently, giving him a cute look.

Sparrow was having much too much fun with this enchanting werewolf. He couldn't say that he was in love with her, or even falling for her, but he did like her quite a bit. And that quite a bit could very well turn into something more.
Though he wasn't really pushing it; LW was shy, after all, and he liked that about her. Making her feel comfortable was his top priority - his top priority for any young ghoul, that was.
He gave her a mock offended look, pressing a gloved hand to his chest. "Why, LW, I do believe that I am quite put out by your answer! Here I am, trying to make a good impression on you and show you what a delightful treasurer I would be for this school, and then you go and say you won't vote for me. Now, how's a boil supposed to react to that, hmm?"

Her tail swished from side to side like a contended cat while she eyed the reaper. Really, he was quite charming and maybe she was finding that he was growing on her every time they met. Still, something in her wasn't sure. It confused her slightly, but LW didn't dwell on it very much. It wasn't like Sparrow was asking her out or something! He was just being...cute. Really cute.
One eyebrow slowly rose as those violet eyes shined with mischief. Her lips were still curled in a sly smile while she listened to him. Tapping her chin, the she-wolf tilted her head in that canine fashion and looked up at the reaper through her lashes.
"Did I? Why...that was a terrible thing of me to do!" Her smile grew a little more. "I don't know. What do you think a boil like yourself is supposed to do?" Eyes flashing briefly towards the minipet and the small objects he sat behind, LW couldn't help but giggle at Sparrow. "My dear Sparrow! You should know not to ask questions you know the answer to." She stopped teasing him. "Of course I'll vote for you!"
