Dru's Classroom: the formation of a new club

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

After his meeting with Grissom, Angelus made his way to Dru's classroom. He smiled. She'd left it for him to open, just as she'd promised.

He opened the door, switched on the lights, searched Dru's supplies for some poster board, then got to work.

It was going to be a long day.

"Marty," Angelus took the folder and placed it carefully with his things. "Fabulous. I'm really glad you came. I know we've got to walk a fine line here so it doesn't look like any one ticket is influencing this event, but as soon as I thought of this I knew your big brain would be a huge advantage."

"Anything a fellow student does to bring out the real issues in the campaign is okay in my book. You guys work out a format yet for this thing?"

"Still ironing out the kinks," Angelus said. "We definitely want it to be different from tonight's debate. But so far we're thinking everybody gets some time on stage. Maybe a little speech. Maybe a requirement that they have to talk about certain topics that are important to the student body. Then one on one time with the populace and their fellow candidates. No formalities. The real deal." Angelus shrugged. "If a candidate can't make themselves stand out from the crowd in that situation, I can't do more to help 'em."

"When we're talking "one-on-one" we're talking about a open discussion regarding the issues and not a battle royale cage match, right? Because I left my tights at home. But seriously, I assume you'll tell the candiates about the various topics we'll need to address beforehand?"

[OOC: I assume you are going to leave open threads for each candidate to make a little stump speech and a sub-thread where everyone can then direct questions to the candidates? Or something like that? Won't be on until late tomorrow night so it will have to be slowtime. Please make sure you let the participants know that and that each question will be answered.]

"You never know, Professor Spider had some good ideas about hot oil," Angelus grinned. "You'll know about the format before hand at least. Topics? We're still deciding if we're going to require them or let you guys riff. But fair warning: if we do have topics, we might not tell you in advance what they are. The goal of the event is to meet the candidate, not their talking points."

[ooc: Definitely slowtime, otherwise I couldn't make it. And yeah, I'm thinking something like that. One comment thread each per section/topic/whatever. But plenty of time for everybody to participate. They could take until Sunday if they wanted.]

Marty shrugs. "Fair enough. It's not everyone doesn't know where I stand. If they don't, then they haven't been looking."

Marty pauses for a second.

"For the record? Make sure your buddy Bel knows that I had nothing to do with that smear tatic the other day. Though I wish I had footage from the scene in the common room from the other day. Damn waivers"

[OOC: Excellent. You realize you're batsh*t insane for doing this, or does Angelus have trick up his sleeve? Nevermind. I'd prefer the suprise.]

"I'll let him know," Angelus said. "Little birdies have been giving me hints as to the wizard behind that particular curtain. No offense meant to one of the candidates for president, of course."

Marty smirks.

"Yeah. I've got to have a little chat with 'Oz' herself. She's got quite the nerve doesn't she?"

[OOC: *dramatic sigh* Oh Angelus? When will you learn to use your powers for good and not evil?]

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"You too?" Angelus held up a hand to forestall whatever Marty's immediate response might be. "No need to give away any dirty secrets or anything. I just heard that apparently the Wiz sets her sights wide. Which in a way I can admire, but it does get pesky."

[ooc: Well there's this orb, see....]

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"No secrets. Just a matter of a dealing with issues she has no right to be involved in."

Marty stands up and gets ready to move on.

"Let me know if you need anything before tomorrow from the batsh*ts. I've got a couple of things to do before the debate tonight."

[OOC: Hey, you keep your hands off my orbs pal.]

"Advertising," Angelus said. "The more publicity we have for this the better. And since you're running, you can make it as biased and partisan as you like."

[ooc: You wish I'd touch your orbs, baby.]

"I'll see what I can do."
