Student Council, Lunchtime

[bigdamnprincipal]

When lunchtime rolled around, Zoe got everything set up in the classroom, setting out pizzas, sodas, and different types of cookies (pumpkin season hadn't completely taken over yet, so there were plenty of normal options). After everyone arrived and got settled, she gave the students a genuine smile.

"Thank you all for coming to our first council meeting today. I'm glad to see some new faces among the familiar ones," she said. "For those of you who are new, the Student Council is in charge of most of the social events that happen at the school--Homecoming, Parents' Weekend--" The occasional glitter birthday party she pretended to not know about... "So it's good to see so many of you interested in helping out. Next week, I'd like to get together to talk about Parents' Weekend, but this week I just want you to have a chance to get to know one another if you don't already, and we have to pick a president from among the seniors." Considering her seniors, this was going to be a very interesting year.

Re: President--Voting

Frank's vote took longer to write than you would expect. On the other hand, he was on his third martini of the meeting, and each one was progressively dirtier than the last.

I hereby vote for myself, Frank Doyle, unless such happenstance occurs that this vote would put me into a tie with someone else. In that case, I ask that my vote would count towards that person in exchange for political favor to be traded at a time of my choosing, which is likely to be either almost immediately or never, as I will have forgotten it after the very near future.

In the event that this vote causes a three-way tie, please resort to eenie-meenie-miney-mo.

He fit it all onto one slip of paper with impeccable penmanship, even though the letters were really tiny. It was remarkable how steady his hand was even while preparing his fourth martini.
