Congratulations to those who were nominated for positions. You have until tomorrow, Tuesday September 13th at midnight to accept or decline your nominations.

Each class will vote for their own representative. So the Junior class, and the Junior class alone, will vote for the Junior class representative, and so on. Votes for person who have not been nominated will not be taken into account. Everyone is able to vote for the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.

We are implementing a new system for nomination acceptance. You are now allowed to accept two (2) total nominations. If you win one of them, the other will not be counted and the winner in the second category will be the person with the next highest votes. If you win both, you will tell the faculty what position you will be accepting the win for, and the other category will then proceed as described.

For example, Kevin is nominated for President, Vice President, and Junior Class Representative. He declines Junior Class Representative, and runs for both President and Vice President. He wins both categories and decides that he would make a better Vice President. He then declines President, and Ramona who has the second most votes for President, becomes the Student Council President.

If you do not respond before midnight, EST, on September 13th, you will be considered to have declined all nominations. If there are any questions, please contact the faculty. Good luck.


[[OOC: Nominees should respond here with which positions they will be running for, or declining, in character. Voting will start on Wednesday, September 14th. Have questions? You know where to find us!]]

Characters: Rowan and Yev
Setting: Sonnier Dormitory, Thursday afternoon
Rating: SFW most likely
Summary: Yev isn't in the common room! GASP SHOCK! Rowan goes looking for him.

Humming to herself quietly, Rowan sat at the table in the common room and glanced at the clock on the wall. Well, that was odd. It had been almost a half an hour that she had been waiting there, and Yev was nowhere to be found. They had agreed to meet to work on this really awesome project of his, and he was a no show! Rowan sighed a little and looked at the books around her. Well, she could probably gather them all up again without too much of a problem, and then she did know where his dorm room was...

She decided that going up to check if he was there couldn't hurt. Maybe he had forgotten?

Collecting her things, and putting the books in her bag except for a few that were the most pertinent, she made her way to what she knew to be Yev's dorm room. Books all under one arm, she was able to knock on the door easily, calling out after she did, "Hey Yev? It's Rowan. I have the books for your project?"

Characters: Rowan and Quinn
Setting: Transitional Dormitory, Tuesday after classes
Rating: SFW most likely
Summary: Rowan left something at Quinn's house and is attempting to find out what happened to it.

Making her way to the Transitional Dorm, Rowan chewed on her lower lip absently. It had been a little strange staying away from home all summer long, first at Michi's and then at Quinn's house, and she still didn't really feel like she had a full break this year. Sure there were fun times, and relaxing times, and happy times, but not being in her own house for it, and with everything with her mother, she was in a very weird place, brain wise. She had been for a very long time now.

It was probably for that reason that she lost her journal. She remembered writing in it one night while staying at Quinn's, but when she got back to school and unpacked, it wasn't where it was supposed to be. Entering the dorm, she looked around the common room, feeling a little out of place and like she was invading someone else's territory. Scanning the crowd, she tried to see if Quinn was around down there. That would make this much easier.

Characters: Yevgeni and Rowan
Setting: Book shop downtown, Sunday afternoon
Rating: SFW
Summary: Yevgeni is caught red handed.

Yevgeni had grown over the summer, it was getting ridiculous. He had kept track and since his birthday in April he had grown close to four inches. His pants were all too short so he ended up rolling them up into shorts. He wasn't too bothered by it though, as he found the heat of both Hesperia and New Orleans too oppressive for long pants anyways. Regardless of his pants situation, he headed back to New Orleans early for some book shopping before classes started. He hit Old Tom's Tomes and scavenged through the history and magical creatures sections first.

After finding all the books he wanted there he moved on to the fiction section in the store, looking for some recreational reading. It was while he was searching through a shelf of books that his eyes caught sight of several muggle and wizard vampire books. His eye twitched slightly at this sight and he tried to ignore the itch in his fingers to start reorganizing the books. He turned away from the daunting shelf only to return seconds later, checking around to make sure no one was watching him. First he took all the vampire books off of the shelf and piled them on the floor by his feet. He then pulled the books from one of the shelves and piled them in front of the reserves of vampire books.

He then pulled the reserves of fiction books from the book off their original shelf and piled them on the floor in a separate pile. Yevgeni began picking up the vampire books hurriedly, crushing them to his chest as he tried to put as many away at the same time as he could.
