2nd Floor Common Room (Tuesday)

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth had added her poster next to Parker's.

It was her only poster at the moment. There was no point in plastering the school with them if she decided not to run in the end.


Vote Elizabeth Weir as Junior Student Council Representative


She headed back to the corner table where she had started her jigsaw puzzle last week.

She looked distracted, and occassionally glanced across at the poster. Why was she running? Was it because she felt that she should?


[[Come and help with the puzzle, or, if anyone wouldn't mind trying to talk her out of this emo funk she's got herself into, that would be very much appreciated!]]

Sam wandered into the common room, apple in hand. "Morning, Liz. How're things going?"

Lee peers in, sees Elizabeth and waves at her. "Hey, Liz!" he says brightly.

"Lee! You're back! How was your trip?" Sam took a bite of apple, wiping off the end of her nose when it got apple juice on it.

Lee grins before the sinking feeling of "didn't something really weird occur last time I saw this woman?" washes over him quickly. He ignores it. Damnit. He's happy. "Sam! I didn't see you there!," he says, beaming. "My trip was pretty, er, traumatizing so let us speak of that no more. How was your break?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Morning, Sam," Elizabeth replied, looking up from her puzzle. "Things aren't too bad. How's about you?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth cranes her neck around to look across at Lee. "Hey, you. Welcome back."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam raised her eyebrows as she finished off the bite she was chewing. Traumatizing? That didn't sound good. Still, Lee didn't want to talk about it, so she'd respect that. "Boring. Very, very, very quiet."

She grinned, "Well, except for the squid hunting. That was fun. In case you're wondering, the pool appears to be giant squid free, and Callisto knows better than to swim in leather. We missed you."

"Boring?" Lee says, curiously. "I heard there was all kinds of drunken revelry going on a few days ago on the Eve of the Year or something like that. And Kara found out Parker's real name."

"You can swim in leather?" Lee asks, thinking about the logistics of that.

"You running for student government again, Liz?" he asks.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, puzzle." Sam immediately took a seat across from Liz and began looking for pieces to put together. "Okay, I guess. Finally recovered from New Year's."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth tensed ever so slightly, before shrugging half-heartedly. "Thinking about it," she said casually.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth snickered slightly. "That was a pretty tame New Year's. But that's okay, because I don't think I was up for anything more."

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"What position are you thinking of?" he asks.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I think I caught some kind of cold, which definitely didn't help," Sam said. "Spent yesterday in bed either awake with a headache or asleep."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Well, they're not doing positions, as such, this time around," she explains. "When the council is elected, then they'll vote in president and vice themselves."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Ach, not nice," Elizabeth said sympathetically. "Although, no offense, I'm glad it wasn't me!"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"You've been sick enough," Sam said, finally finding two pieces that appeared to interlock. "I think it was my turn."

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"Ah...that's an... interesting...wait," he says all confused and full of democratic principles, damnit. "So the student body won't be voting on who represents them as president and vice president? It'll just be a quorum of -- how many? -- who make the executive decision?" Lee has angst suddenly.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I have," Elizabeth agreed, nodding. "I would make it a New Year's resolution not to get sick, but I don't know how to enforce that myself."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"There will be twelve on the council, providing that we get some more freshmen in," Elizabeth said. "It's probably going to be likely that the president will be a senior; that's how it tends to work in high schools."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"New Year's Eve," Sam corrected, "and I wasn't drunk so much as I was tipsy. As for the revelry," she sighed, "it wasn't what I hoped it would be, so I left early. No New Year's Eve kiss for me."

"Parker's real name? What is it? How mad is she?"

Sam shook her head. "No, you can't. It gets all heavy and tight, which Callisto apparently already knew. She stripped it off before she dove in to save Rory, who'd been pushed in." She grinned. "This, was, ah, before we found out about the serious lack of squid."

Seeing as it was rainy and crappy out, John didn't really feel like running, so he began just wandering the dorm when he couldn't sit in his room any more. As he went past the 2nd floor common room door he saw a poster stating that Elizabeth was running for student council. Peering into the room itself, he saw Elizabeth and a few others.

"Hey Elizabeth. Long time no see."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Hey, John," Elizabeth smiled at him. "How was your Christmas?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I don't know either," Sam considered that for a minute. "Maybe Janet has an idea or a spare power cord."

Making his way back from the gym, Cameron sticks his (bruised) head inside the common room. He notices the poster she put up and grins. "Yo, madam president."
