How to Win an Election Without Even Running

[not_over_yet]

[ So. Many things have been pretty awful lately. But Randy gave Basil a very unique opportunity, and. Well. Freddie had always been as much for showmanship as their first host--down to the execution: she went out on her terms, with very impressive results. Basil's not about to pass up the closest thing to a victory they've had so far.

He can't do much on his own, but he finds a few others willing to help ok so they did the majority of the actual work. Point is, there's something to celebrate, and they're going to do just that.

Going through Freddie's room (of course he's looting it, she told him to) and setting things up both take time, but eventually the others will find handwritten invitations slipped under their doors.
You Are Cordially Invited To The
~INAUGURAL CELEBRATION~
of
Manor President
~ Freddie Facilier ~
( Dining Room; bring your own liquor, due to compromise )

Hanging on the wall opposite the room's casino-side entrance is a large blue banner--oddly on-base as far as matching the color of that wand-splosion--which sports metalic-gold lettering, declaring:

winner of the 2018 Manor-Presidential election
~ FREDDIE FACILIER ~


Vice Presidents
MABEL PINES and ACKBAR THE PIG
will act on her behalf during our president's absence

...That may be the most tasteful decoration in the room, as Basil told VP Mabel to raid both the sewing and art rooms for "anything in colors that would remind one of our president". There's a lot of extremely vivid violet everywhere.

There's food, naturally--provided by Lekmet--and. Well, technically no alcohol served, but as the invitations stated, there's nothing preventing you from bringing your own. ]

She's a good kid. This place better not hurt her.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Its hurt all of us, one way or another. We're just lucky to have each other.

[astronomics]

Yeah. That's what you have to hold onto, in a place like this. Each other, for as long and as tightly as you can.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Now there's a train of thought I can hitch my wagon to.

[Blatantly obvious wrapping her arm around Jyn's hip.]

[astronomics]

[ Jyn laughs gently again, managing to scoot even a little closer with her arm around Allene's shoulders. ]

I know I'm a fan of it when it comes to you.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[such a content sigh]

...Sometimes I still have trouble figuring out what you like about me. I mean, you're Jyn Erso, space hero, incredible resistance fighter. And I'm just me. [Not even her best me]

[astronomics]

[ Jyn very confidently replies: ]

You make me laugh.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[She blinks.

And then snorts.] Really? That's the turn-on here?

[astronomics]

Obviously there are other things! But... I haven't had a lot of laughter in my life. It's something that's... really nice. I can relax around you.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[Her grin turns into a softer smile, snuggling in closer.]

I'm glad I can provide that, at least. You're even more beautiful when you smile.

[astronomics]

[ Jyn chuckles. ]

I'll make sure to do it more often for you.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[She gives her a soft kiss.] Only if it feels natural. You don't need to pretend to be happy if you aren't.

[astronomics]

Luckily enough, when I'm around you, I tend to be.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[Awww babe.]

We haven't moved too fast, right? Its barely been two months but... I already can't imagine life without you, honestly.

[astronomics]

Has it only been two months? Kriff.

[ She ponders for a second or two. ]

I'm fine with our... current speed.
