Good luck, men!

Present poll numbers:
Kyland Ross: 5
Adrian Mackenzie: 8

Due to the interest of a "quid pro quo", Dirk votes for Adrian Mackenzie!

After much deliberation, Oghenero has decided to vote for Kyland Ross.

Constantine's voting for Adrian 'cause they share a room and he doesn't really want to live with a guy that he didn't vote for.

Eris is voting for Kyland because he honestly does not know either one of these guys and he just tossed a coin.

Delia just followed after Constantine's vote for voting for Adrian because she doesn't know Kyland and her brother seems to know this Adrian guy.

Eris decided to vote for Adrian since he seems to be putting a lot of leg work into getting elected.

Clearly, Adrian Mackenzie votes for himself as the Male Serpens House Leader.
Cecilia Vega keeps to her campaign and votes for Adrian.

Kyland votes for himself as leader. Obviously.

Casper votes for Kyland because their deal included the voting as well as the nominating.

Miller votes for Kyland so that he can get his room back.

Lon Huxley has been convinced to vote for Kyland due to Adrian's criminal background.

After consideration of Adrian's speech, Lon has retracted his previous vote in favour of supporting Adrian due to Lon's history of being wrongly accused by the school staff in the past as well.

    "Lon! I remember you. We had classes together. Ancient history. We go way back, y'know. You wouldn't want our history - our friendship - undermined because of a poor choice, would you? Now, I gotta say, that Kyle guy, he's really not a class act, is he? I've been talking to other Serpens, we all think it's clear, he's only looking out for himself. I'm surprised he has as many votes as he does, honestly, but they're all coming from bad places. A coin toss? Really? You can't let the person who decides your dorm life win by something as mundane as that. You've gotta think about it, make an informed decision.
    "Well, I'm here to tell you, Lon, we've got pizza and ice cream. Well, Lyra does, but we'll totally crash their party, I'll bring you along. It'll be fun. Nothing says Inter-House cooperation like a pizza party, right?
    "You know, you can come to me with anything. Any problems you have, I'll be able to handle it. Sort things out. Do you really trust the other guy?"

" Not having any understanding of how voting is done in such an advanced age... and having little idea on who either of the future leaders are... as both have most unusual names... i shall cast my vote. The victor shall be: Adrian Mackenzie. " 

(OOC: but i would actually vote for the both of you guys! )

After receiving a mysterious letter under the door to his dorm room, a man requested he vote for him because of how great Kotaro is. The small boy was not sure how to take it, but anyone who can recognize the boy's worth deserved to rule this small land known as the Serpens Dorm, as one day the small boy would rule the world and this man will remember the little master who voted for him.

The boy fumbles around in the vote and scribbles

K..y..l..a..n..d R..o..s...s

    "Now, I understand that some of you may be skeptical, given how much aide I needed getting into the nominations because of alleged 'criminal background', so I've come today to address that for every student within Serpens. But first allow me to discuss what the responsibilities of this elected position entails, and why I think I'm the best suited to do the task.

    You've heard a lot of rhetoric from me. I'm the best example of Serpens' drive and tenacity. I understand you each have ambitions, and I will do what ever it takes to protect the things you value in order to achieve them. Some of you may say this is just idealism, that I won't be able to actually get anything done, but I assure you I am supremely confident in my ability to negotiate with staff for the amenities we need. No longer will we suffer without bathrooms!

    "My position demands that I ensure your living space, your dorm rooms, are up to standard. I insist that it goes beyond that, that your personal rooms are up to the standard you set for them. That you are free to appropriate your space as you see fit. After all, some of us have very specific living requirements given our varied 'backgrounds'. Our needs are varied, and each one of them needs to be handled with respect and attentiveness.

    "I will keep myself available at all hours, so that any Serpens may approach me if they have questions. Questions about school wide events or student driven activities. Questions about another Serpens' misbehavior, which I will take very personally because know now that I see Serpens as a united House. We must not be divisive. I will hold you all to a certain standard of conduct. We protect each other. We know each other's concerns. Our dreams. We share in our ambitions and achieve them together!

    "Now, the next segment discusses security. Student safety. They want me to police you. But you don't need someone looking over your shoulder every second. You're responsible. You have Serpens all around you to turn to if you need help. I'm not the only one to go to. But that doesn't mean you can't come to me for anything.
    "Some of us are volatile. We make mistakes. Things happen. There's no reason for disciplinary action for things that happen out of your control, which brings me to the real discussion. What you're really here for.

    "I've been called suspect due to my so-called criminal background. I assure you I started no fights with other students. I certainly never stalked anyone. But they did blame me for setting the school on fire. Many of you may not know this, but my 'power' is not under my conscious control. I do not call it forth. I do not direct it. I know the parameters: I see fire, it goes boom. I told the staff. They were informed, but they wanted to see it for themselves.
    "Allow me to shield you from the ineptitude of Foresta's staff, which I have suffered from first hand. They caused the incident. They were unprepared. But I was given the black mark in my record, because they refuse to admit fault in one of their own.

    "So, again. Allow me to be the one you talk to. To be the one to hear your side of the story, to defend you against the biased disciplinary system at work. You don't deserve to be ostracized or neglected because of things outside of your control. You deserve to be heard, understood, and respected.

    "We are SERPENS! We unite together! We achieve together!"


It's never too late to change your vote in your favor, vote Adrian Mackenzie for Serpens Leader!
