All Around the Dorms; Thursday.

Especially after encountering Dor, Turtle realized that she had slacked off on this so inexcusably that part of her was feeling she should lose the election just because she had been so slow to the punch. She'd worry about finding that Toby fellow to revoke his remarks later, because, at the moment, a button proudly announcing her campaign, she went around the dorms, putting up her posters. They were clean, colorful posters, a medley of red, white, and blue, with great sparkling stars of glitter:

Vote T.R. Wexler
for Junior Representative

A vote Wexler is a vote for experience and determination.
The T.R. doesn't stand for 'tenacious' and 'revolutionary,' but they may as well!

Please take a pamphlet for more information about the Wexler for Representative campaign


There was an arrow on the posters pointing down to a small little paper basket built into each one, and each basket contained brochures listing all of Turtle's credentials and experience, among patriotic pictures of eagles and some gremlins to represent her love for the school. It also discussed some of her platforms, like funding for clubs, better cafeteria food (always an important one), and more events to create a deeper connection between the student and the townie populations. There was also a coupon on the back for 50% off any purchase at Turtle & Canary, some buttons for the taking, and some lollipops.

With each poster she put up, she drew in a breath and looked them over, with a faint smile of satisfaction for her work, faint under the heaviness of doubt and worry. She smoothed out the poster, made sure the basket would stay under the weight of the goodies inside of it, and told herself that she just had to keep positive and do her best, and everything would be fine.

She hoped.

[[ absolutely open! ]]

[[ETA: The posters now, thanks to Dor, will vocally encourage people to vote for Turtle when they pass by =D ]]

"It's going great and no, I didn't get a sucker," she said, grinning cheerfully. "You seem to have it all together, Turtle. Not that I would doubt anything less from you."

"If I could vote for you I would," she nodded firmly. "But since I can't, I can support your efforts."

Amber chuckled and gladly pinned on the button. "Thanks, Turtle! I'll spread the word, and help as much as I can. I'm on my way to town now, so I'll see you later. Good luck!"

"Oh yah, you betcha!" she said rather enthusiastically as she took them. "No problem at all."

"Yah, I will, and no you don't!" she laughed lightly and headed off, calling back over her shoulder, "You have a great day too!"
