The Deck, Friday afternoon

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

On the deck there was a podium. Behind the podium there was a puppy... thing. And behind the puppy thing there was a poster of the puppy thing with the puppy thing's name on it.



And the puppy thing called Yakko was giving a speech.

"... and then when the bees fly to the next flower, the pollen that stuck to their bodies will rub off onto the new flower, allowing pollination to happen. And that's why you should vote for me for Freshman Class Representative!"

Thus concluded a speech that involved South American geography, the story of the Sputnik program, and what was in the average Skittle. None of it made any sense at all, which was only appropriate.

"And to convince you to vote Yakko, free sleds for everyone!" Yakko pulled a large sack from behind the podium and started pulling out sleds to hand to anyone willing to say they'd vote for him whether they were freshmen or not.

Each of the sleds had the word "Rosebud" written on them for some reason.

[OOC: Come one, come all, get a sled in September! Yeah, I don't know.]

Robin wasn't a freshman. But When he'd spotted Yakko speechifyin', he'd had to come check it out. And hey, sleds!

"That's a good incentive."

"It sure is, little frog!" Yakko said pulling a sled out and riding it over to Robin. Across the deck. The wooden deck. The flat, wooden deck. In September. Don't ask about the physics. "And it can be yours if I can count on your vote!"

"But I'm not a freshman." Robin said sadly. He didn't even blink at the sled riding. Okay so he didn't have eyelids, but still.

"You're clearly not a Chicago voter if you're going to let something like that stop you," Yakko said.

"No I'm from Florida."

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

"Oh, they have their own voting issues, so you should be fine voting for me," Yakko said.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"But the school's not in Florida. It has it's own rules."

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

"Well, if you're going to argue about it, no sled for you," Yakko said stubbornly.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Aww." Robin kicked at the ground. "Please?"

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

"Sorry. Sleds are only for bribable voters," Yakko said.

It was by pure accident that Mirax was here watching, and she was completely amused. "I'm a freshman. Do I still only get one sled?" she asked.

"That depends on how many times you're willing to vote for me," Yakko said, pulling a couple sleds out of the sack.

"Technically I think I'm only allowed to vote for you once," she said. "But I think I could probably circumvent the system to get at least one more in."

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

"Allowed, schmellowed," Yakko said, holding the prizes out. "Have some sleds!"

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

"Thank you!" she said, taking them and looking them over. Had to inspect the merchandise, of course. "You've definitely got my vote."

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

"Your welcome. And I'll hold you to that! If you vote for anyone else, I'll know," Yakko said. "Mainly because I think I'm the only one running."

"Jean tried to talk me into it. It's not happening," Mirax assured him. "I'm completely on your team here. Since there are sleds and all."

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

"Good. I would have hated to run an attack ad," Yakko said. "It's hard enough to train those things to sit or roll over, let alone attack."

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

"And that's not a story I'd want to tell afterwards," she agreed.

Why was she talking like this was normal?

"I should be going. With my sleds."

"Have a good day! And remember, VOTE YAKKO!" Yakko said.
