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. ]

[Soos smiles a little bit and sits down next to Hiro, legs crossed to make sure he's not taking up too much room.]

Thanks. What were you two talking about?

[upgradeit]

I told her that she wouldn't be too hard on Freddie. She didn't mean to, she's just stupid. [Hiro rolls his eyes.] And no, I'm not taking that back if you're listening, Freddie.

[There's no particular reason to talk to them sitting at the shrine, really. It's just what he likes doing, because it feels familiar to him.]

[sorrydoods]

[Soos lets out a small chuckle at that last part, but it doesn't last for very long.]

Yeah and, to be fair, you really should've worded that spell differently.

[Maybe 'Kill somebody I wouldn't miss' or something like that.]

[upgradeit]

Honestly, you should just give up being really, super evil and become a petty criminal. It's way more fun. [He would know.] Then you can have tons of money to buy Ariel nice stuff.

[He has so much money leftover from bot fighting. He would start doing it again, but also that would be bad and he's trying not to do that anymore sorta plus the yakuza are really mad at him so like. He just shouldn't.]

[sorrydoods]

Yeah. Plus, it's way easier to get away with stuff like pick pocketing or something than something like...world domination. And you can still have a bunch of friends!

[Just ask Stan!]

[upgradeit]

[This is why Soos is his favorite.]

I mean, we can totally discuss how to actually, like come up with a plan for taking over the world before you try to do it when we see you again if you want, though. Because, like. It helps to have a real plan.

[sorrydoods]

Yeah. It could actually be a little fun to take over the world. Never actually tried before, but as long as we didn't try to end the world, it'd be up to it. Plus, without at least a plan, you kind of just look like a crazy person.

[Like, Old Man McGucket levels of crazy.]
