[b]Yeah, club![/b] Lunabelle turned around and looked at the chaos, [b]Oh… sorry… now is probably not the best time, my bad.[/b] (@cookiedoughcrow) [b]Looks like it’s cleaning up though?[/b] ((Idk if the two were sitting here the whole time? But enjoy another Lunabelle doodle feat. Darby))

[center][b]PARTICIPANT[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/57364922][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/573650/57364922.png[/img][/url][/center] Tanalah knew the time for the second speeches was coming fast, which scared them more than any monster in Sornieth. It might even be worse now, considering [b]London[/b] and [b]Iskellon[/b] were no longer in the running. They desperately try to remember everything the Imperial taught them. [i]"One must know their audience well and say what you mean no matter how unusual it may sound, but must do so in a way that captivates others."[/i] Regarding Iskellon, the recent food fight did Tanalah no favors. They proved an inviting target for snack-snipers like [b]Avo[/b] and [b]Taeko[/b] to fire off a feast, which soon boiled over into a schoolwide smackdown where Tanalah launched all sorts of food at all sorts of dragons, including that ever-petulant [b]Flambaby![/b] Reaching for a large insect to throw at him, a Blue Honeycomb flew through the air and hit Tanalah straight in the face and wouldn't come off! This later proved to the professors their involvement in culinary combat and subsequent visit to the principal... again. They also knew that with fewer dragons left on the ballot, said professors would hound them and their fellows, eager to point out even the slightest infraction. Everyone knew the stakes would be higher, Caribbean would show no mercy. Tanalah knew this more than most, considering how many professors they've insulted. Suddenly the words of an impeccable speech materializes in their head without thinking, which Tanalah quickly scrawls on a scroll with an ink-dipped Apparition Lance. Could this be Inspiration? [i]"As the days go by here in Flotsam High, some meet the realization of a quick elimination. The rest stand all as the others fall, their dreams of leadership growing ever more attainable with the passage of time. This of course, refers to me and all of you, but the cycle is not yet over. When only one of us remains, they're sure to become someone truly exquisite!" "But just like in any battle, there is an enemy. We may not know who or what it is, but what other explanation could there be for so much chaos to erupt in the past few days? I encourage us to work together to find the unseen and tear them apart! I fully expect there to be resistance from a place unexpected by all, but who says we can't take them?"[/i] Excited with this attempt at a speech, Tanalah attempts to find [b]River,[/b] the last of the writers who advised them long ago, for his opinion. What could possibly go wrong?

Quick note: so the next round of speeches (and yes, that means more danger) is due from me tonight. However, we have a power outage right now and people in and out of our yard and our neighbors' yards trying to get the power back on (a limb fell on the lines from our neighbor's tree and we have a wire down in our yard.) It's looking like we might not have power tonight, which means no update. [emoji=coatl sad size=1] If you get pinged again, it means I got power again and can get on my computer!

And some dragons are resorting to underhanded tactics to make [i]sure[/i] they lose all support...what will they do next? Stay tuned! Rescues are due by [color=red] 20:00 FR time[/color].))[/b] Not to mention that the two pairs of new "running mates" are dragons that have had little to no interactions with each other...lol. Yes, this is The Feast, so from now on dragons will have a 1:3 chance of a favorable roll when I roll for survival! Stakes are higher than ever, professors are watching like hawks (and, no, they totally have NOT magically gained a sense of humor). Because EVENTUALLY we do want to actually elect a president and be finished. Not that this hasn't been a BLAST...love what you guys are doing in your RP. Edit: also YAY I have power again...

[center]*flops in like a seal* I LIVE (sorta. I might have a fever @~@ but I have high speed internet (ZOOMIE) so it's not a bad trade-off????)[/center] [s]I hope you get your power back soon!! If you're seeing this but you still can't post no worries!![/s]! [emoji=familiar heart size=1] Never mind you just posted the results, yaaay I'm glad you got your power back!! @Jeevas - there's so much I want to say about Diamond and how much I adore her akhjdlnvbm';sdgfhgjhk she's perfect! Lunabelle too, great art as always @AlphaSnowdust !! All the candidates really, loved every single one of these dragons and their individual desires to be a great Student President, unlike Savi who just wander in LOL. It's going to be sad when this event is over. Felt like there's a lot of great friendships and camaraderie (would have been a completely different vibe if it was regular Hunger Games xDXD) @Argathakul - yeah I might be down for the count, unable to roleplay so free feel to mention Savi and use him in your RP however you like :D Speeches hate Rogtumble D:

The funniest part about Rogtumble insulting the Flamecaller is that Rogtumble is in a very fire-oriented company, with the Banescales raising her all loving the Flamecaller. So… not sure how she would joke about that lol? Maybe it was taken out of context:

“The Flamecaller is so damn…”
“Rogtumble! What did I hear you say? Go to the principle’s office, now!”
Rogtumble, who was about to say awesome, “Um, alright!”

Anyways, she would be absolutely furious about her speech being interrupted again!
Can’t really roleplay at the moment (too busy!) but others feel free to ping me :)

"She's right." [i]"Do you know what you're saying and clapping to?"[/i] "Not really." [center]Also: @Argathakul (Sorry I ended up writing something, can't help it I guess. xD But free feel to interpret Savi however you like if you're RPing this round. He's bit ooc due to side effects from medicine. Also I love Tanalah and she should absolutely use her [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/3127312/44#post_51290189]draft[/url] for her speech!!) ---[/center] He's feeling really sick and unfortunately he is not capable of writing a speech. Of all times to be ill. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. He runs towards the first candidate he sees, Tanalah, and begs. "Please Tanalah! Please be my running mate! I know you dread giving out another speech. If we just say we're working together, we can totally skip most of it." Doesn't make sense, but it's in the fine print apparently.

@Magnish @Argathakul “Doesn't make sense, but it's the fine print apparently.” Basically. *wheeze*

Diamond, moonwalking offstage: “And I love YOU, random citizen!”

@Jeevas I think it's hilarious because they're the last two dragons, so everyone else must have been like "Wait, we can just do that?" xD

EDIT: never mind ChocoChip and Darby did it too, but still. Imagine prepping hard for a speech and two dragons decide to work together. (I would be soooo mad irl)
