2nd Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Needing lots of room in order to work, Jean had commandeered a common room for great high school politics justice.

One needed space in order to make a bunch of posters telling people to vote for her. Ooo! Glitter! They needed to have glitter on them too.

But only a classy amount. Nothing gaudy.

[[Open common room is so very open]]

Bobby had been on the way back to his room after Luke's when he spotted an occupied common room. Occupied by Jean, even. And posters. And glitter.

"Jean? Whatcha doing?" he poked his head in. Swiftly followed by the rest of him.

"There's student council elections," Jean gushed like the overachieving student that she was.

"Hello," Jonas said, attempting to be friendly even in the midst of unfamiliar faces and unfamiliar surroundings. He missed Asher. "Are you going to make art using glitter too?"

The glitter was kind of fascinating him.

"Ooooh, watcha makin'?"

That was Hayley's way of greeting Jean, apparently. She bounced over in her long skirt and white blouse. Elle really needed to take her on that shopping trip.

"Posters for Student Council." Remember your manners, Jean. "Hello!"

"Hayley!" Turtle bounced at her. Someone had made sure to check who out of the newbies were seniors. "Have a cupcake!" She held one out from the box, green frosting with 'Vote Turtle' in white lettering. "They're super good, I got them from J,GoB, the best place to get stuff like this on the island."

Exploration was still a new thing for Jonas. Before the Village, he'd been confined to the Community, allowed only to certain points before he was considered out of bounds essentially and told to come back. If you went past that, you were sought out, brought back and punished then.

It wasn't like that here so, when Jonas passed by the larger room, he had to stop, eyes catching on something that sparkled in the light. The word wasn't there, not yet, but he kept studying them in hopes that it would come.

In all that examination, he forgot his manners, forgot to say hello to the owner of the sparkling things.

"Hello," Jean called, waving at the omgcute boy in a way she was certain was cheerful and not overly caffeinated as it may appear.

If anybody were to ask Tybalt, all glitter was gaudy.

This was possibly at least in part inspired by a certain boxer raid back when they were living in the cabins.

He still hadn't gone to collect his underpants. They'd touched other underpants.

"Eye-catching," he said, by way of greeting as he ambled into the common room in search of either company, or to steal food from a different common room's fridge. Either or. "Good evening, Lady Jean."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Tybalt!" Act cool, Jean. Act cool. "How are you?"

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

"Little brother, the school hasn't eaten you yet?" Diana checked.

[longislandiceme]

"Tybalt," Bobby said with a nod. "Hey."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Ew, Tybalt. Tybalt was...kind of...greasy.

But he was also a voter, so Turtle was putting that all aside and substituting it with a bright grin and an offering of a cupcake, one with 'Wexler FTW!' in its green icing. "Tybalt! Hi! How's it going? Would you like a cupcake of SP?"

A small ball of fur zipped into the room, followed closely by a running Diana. "Samuel!"

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Not the glitter!" That got everywhere and then never got out.

"Oooh, glitter," Sookie remarked, wandering in. "That way people'll remember you as the one with the glittery signs!"

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Well, I hope they'd remember me as the one they want to vote for, but that too," Jean replied with a grin.

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Jonas said to one of the other girls who'd come into the room. She was unfamiliar but most everyone was. Still, he wanted to try and learn, be friendly, try. "Hello."

So he said 'hello' twice. Because that really made him look less out of place.

[longislandiceme]

"Sookie!" Bobby waved, not at all like a dork who'd just spoken to her yesterday.

It was George's floor's common room, so it shouldn't be that surprising that he wandered down there in the evening looking for something to eat. (So what if he'd just had lunch at Luke's. He was a growing boy.)

He stopped as he got to the door, eyeing the glitter warily. "S'not for th'boykissy, is it?"

He was totally going back to his room if it was.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Boykissy?" Hey, Jean was uninformed of this mythical thing. She was deeply repressed. Deeply.

Azula is trying to walk off her ongoing discussion with Principal Winchester.

She raised an eyebrow at the poster. She couldn't read the writing but the glitter was sufficient to catch her attention.

"What is this?"

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Posters!" Jean gushed excitedly. "For Student Council."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

It was Monday, time for the campaign trail! And while Turtle was still waiting for her posters to come back from the slow, slow printers, she had plenty of other strategies to hold her over, and the second floor was as good a place to start as any despite her mun trying to sabotage her with SP.

She had a box in her arms, from J,GoB, and, inside, deliciousness.

"Hey, anyone wants some cupcakes?" she asked brightly as she bounced in. Cupcakes, chocolate, with green frosting and sugar sprinkles, and little notes like 'Wexler/Walters 2009' and 'Vote Turtle!' and 'Wexler is a Winner!' and, of course, her favorites: 'Turtle for Senior Rep!' and 'T.R. is Totally Right!'

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Oooo!" Jean was on that until she saw the senior part. "You're running too?"

Mirax got about two steps into the common room before stopping to take in the scene.

"I've probably already got enough glitter on me to still be finding it in a week, huh?" she realized. Glitter was like that.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean glanced up sheepishly. "There's a chance you haven't!"

Totally permeating the very air.

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

Elle was kinda tired of her own common room, therefore? Invading the other common rooms! Today was the second floor.

She headed for the fridge to see what she could steal.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Elle!" Jean was still way, way too chipper.
