Martin Blank Press Conference
A podium has been erected on the campus quad.
Marty exits the dorm dressed impeccably in his favorite suit and a fiestaware orange colored tie, his mood is calm and professional. Beside him is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chasingangela, also dressed impeccably in a white blouse, knee-length dark skirt and low heels. She looks calm, but her face shows her concern.
Following them is Camilla, dressed like a member of the Presidential Secret Service, complete with a suit, sunglasses and a microphone hidden in her wing that she is constantly clucking into.
Marty steps up to the podium and speaks into the microphone.
"Fellow Students and Faculty of Fandom High, thank you for coming here today."
"I will be reading a brief statement and will then open the floor for questions."
"I come here today to address the recent article featured in today's "Tentacle Weekly". As you are probably already aware this article alleges the fact that I was a professional killer sent here on an assignment to assassinate a fellow member of FandomHigh."
Marty takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly.
"These allegations are completely true."
"After leaving my previous high school in Gross Pointe, I joined the army and was drafted into a special services division where I served my country for a year before parlaying my experience into the private sector. During this period of my life I performed actions that I now find to be morally reprehensible. With the help of my friends, certain members of the faculty and the administration, I've left my former profession behind and warned the administration of the security risks involved. I've been assured that appropriate measures have been taken to protect the person and the student body from my mistakes."
ETA:"I've just been informed that the threat I had brought to campus has been nullified by our school administrators."
"While this information was not general knowledge, it was not a secret. It was a private matter and therefore I saw no reason to disturb the student body with this information."
"I would like to apologize to my fellow party members for sharing this information with them. They were unaware of my background at the time the Batsh*t Crazy Ticket was formed, and I urge my fellow students to not let my past history color their judgment for the rest of the ticket. Each and every candidate on this ticket is worthy of office and will exceed the student body's expectations. Whether or not the Batsh*t ticket decides to continue my endorsement is strictly up to them"
"That being said, I will *NOT* be withdrawing from the race for the position of Security Officer. My commitment to this position has not changed and neither has my feelings for the Batsh*t platform which strives for the equality of all students and lower vending machine prices."
"I will now take your questions."Even the snarky/non-relevant ones.
