1st Floor Lobby- Sunday afternoon

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

Annie was feeling much better today than she had yesterday, which honestly, she preferred. After listening to radio, she'd scratched some ideas off her list of things to try. Baked goods were out, for instance. Quinn did that, and if Caroline was doing that, too, forget it. Besides, Annie wanted to reach out to the people who couldn't be swayed by delicious calories.

In the early afternoon, she'd gone to the lobby and set up her table. It was pretty low-key. Besides a glittery poster on the wall behind her and some fliers and lot of colorful buttons on the bright red plastic tablecloth (better to catch people's attention), that was it.

Oh, and the sign attached to the front of the table:

HELP ME HELP YOU
What do you want from your rep? I'm listening.


[So very open. And I am going to the gym for like an hour, but don't think I won't be trying to return pings from the bike. I saw someone checking FB from the treadmill yesterday.]

Talk to Annie

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

She wants to talk to you. And she cares about your issues.

Nathan was on his way into town but he had to stop and read the poster when he saw it. And when his eyes settled on Annie, he figured he ought to listen to the sign since he was a senior and all. She wanted his opinion!

"Free porn on the telly," he said as serious as he could manage. "That's what I want from my representative. Could you make that happen?"

[Someone had to talk to her and I'm sorry that I chose Nathan.]

Annie gave him a Look, but she also didn't want to turn off a potential Annie Supporter.

"I could suggest it to the appropriate people, yes," she said. Which was true. She could. She just, you know, wouldn't.

"I think free porn on the telly would lift the morale of everyone who sees it," Nathan said, nodding sagely. "I mean, wouldn't you be more inspired for your final exams if you had something as enjoyable as that on the telly the night before?"

Nathan didn't know Annie at all.

Apparently the senior class couldn't be composed entirely of the Sams and Bruces and Scary Caras of the world, so Annie was going to have to deal with that.

"Not personally, but to each their own," she said evenly. It'd be an entirely different answer if she didn't have him on her list of seniors and didn't want his vote.

Wesley had chosen today of all days to go outside and get something to eat, and found this on his return.

Oops.

"Er," he said, blushing slightly. His conversation with Quinn yesterday had alerted him to the fact that he was apparently running again, so this was awkward. "Hello."

[[Haaaaad to!]]

Re: Talk to Annie

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Annie said, trying her best to look nonchalant. "Come to check out the competition?"

Re: Talk to Annie

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Actually, it was more the fact that she was in a common area that people had no choice but to frequent, but that seemed like the wrong thing to say. The bag of take-out in his hand was getting surreptiously held behind his back, yup.

"I should apologize," he finally managed, grasping for straws. "In point of fact I had no idea that my name was, er, on the ballot, so to speak."

Re: Talk to Annie

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

Huh. "Oh. So you're not running?"

Quinn spotted the table on her way back from the gym, ducked into the girl's room to tighten up her ponytail, wash her face, and put on some fresh lip gloss, and emerged ready to meet the competition.

"I think the most important thing I want from my rep is that she's me." She was smiling, but she wasn't entirely kidding. "Hi, I'm Quinn. Nice to meet you."

Re: Talk to Annie

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"I recognize you from your flier," Annie said, as pleasantly as possible. The weird thing was, she didn't actually have a beef with Quinn because she didn't know her, but she couldn't help but be a little bit guarded. "I'm Annie. Good to see who I'm running against."

Re: Talk to Annie

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Quinn didn't have a beef per se, but she still wasn't going to display any weakness if she could possibly help it.

"Definitely," she agreed, also pleasantly. "This is more exciting than last year already. Last year we didn't really campaign."

Still turning this whole Student Council thing over in his head, Bobby stood back, studying Annie's posters and fliers. The signs made it look like she wasn't just interested in planning dances. Maybe Jack was wrong.

"Hi," he said finally, giving her a little wave. "Can I talk to you even though I'm a sophomore?"

Re: Talk to Annie

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Annie said cheerfully. "Seniors can vote for me, but I think we should represent everyone." Even the Nathans. For some reason.

Re: Talk to Annie

"My brother's a senior," Bobby said helpfully. He bit his lip, trying to figure out what to say. "What do you think is the most important role of the student government?"

Overly earnest, as always, that was Bobby.

The rest of the lobby

Did you want to set up your own table? You're welcome to. You big copier.

*cackles* I didn't realize Annie was so intense until yesterday. This is awesome.

Re: OOC

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

Oh, Annie was campaigning on day one. I'm sorry she will end Kenzi.

Re: OOC

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Enh, Kenzi is in it for the funnies. Srsly, have her do her worst, it's allllll good!

Re: OOC

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

OMFG COPIER. This is why Dave would vote for Quinn if he had a vote.

Re: OOC

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

Well he doesn't. Nyah!
