Professor Jerusalem looks old and cranky this morning - or as old and cranky as you can get at the ripe old age of 35. The cat is again playing beneath his desk, this time with something that it probably wouldn't pay to examine too closely.

The Professor is poking somewhat suspiciously at what looks like a perfectly ordinary sandwich.

On the screen behind him is the following message:

Announcement:

I don't want to talk about it. At all. I don't want to hear it, either. Foodstuffs of any kind and the shambling undead are both totally verboten subjects.

Instead, I want to hear about your thoughts as to the student elections - unrelated to the homework assignment. If you must gossip and chatter, let's stick to actual school business. Please.


ALSO: This professor has made it his life's work to make politicians live up to their promises or put them through an un-ending living Hell and will most likely be encouraging his students to do the same. Tomorrow we will discuss 'Monstering'. With inappropriate glee and possibly illustrations.

Political Hopefuls - Beware

John turns to Chloe.

"Do you happen to know if they're allowing write in votes? Not that a write in candidate would win but it gives the students a little more choice in who they'd like to vote for if they don't want to vote for those who are running."

A write in campaign. That's a good question. Professor Gandalf is the advisor for the student council. Someone could ask him?

"Would you be willing to leave me a voicemail to remind me of this?"

"Yes, sir!" Chihaya perked up, instantly regretting moving his head since it made his back ache again. "I can do that!"

"I don't see why they wouldn't allow it. Write-in votes are pretty standard in any kind of election." She smirks at John. "Why, are you planning on voting for Johnina instead?"

John scowls. "No, Johnina's busy enough with homecoming. I was just curious. With the list of candidates kind of small, I was just hoping there would be other options."

"I think that with so few options, they don't have much of a choice but to allow write-ins. That should be entertaining."
