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. ]

Yeah, it...it really sucks, to be honest. Even if they can come back, it's probably gonna scar them forever with how they died and stuff...

[He'd probably be the same way, if he was in their shoes.

He nods rapidly when he hears that second part.]

Agreed. We need to make sure that they get out of here alive. They...they really don't deserve to die, after all this...

[angelgoatdemon]

I wish there was some sort of forgetting spell to repress the worst of it. Heard of one, but it's been too long and risky.

Think that might help when they come back from the dead?

[sorrydoods]

Maybe. But I think we'd really have to be careful and not erase too much. We don't want them getting amnesia or something.

Also, it doesn't leave any side effects, right? Nothing like...making you go slowly insane or anything?

[We do NOT need a child version of old man McGucket!]

[angelgoatdemon]

It'll probably affect older people more than kids, I think. Used some of it when I started out with healing magic, then noticed it's done the same to me and got worse as time went on.

[Little does goatdad know that's not very assuring]

It's more frustrating than dangerous, but I might be willing to give it a shot for someone!

[sorrydoods]

...on second thought, maybe it would just be safer to remember. We really don't need to lose anybody else right now.

[Please don't kill yourself just to help people forget things, Lekmet.]
