tushanshu_logs | [Open Log] Don't you Worry 'bout a thing

Characters: Members of the Foreigners' Guild
Date: Beginning of May
Location: Welcome Center
Situation: Trying to figure out just how this thing is going to work
Warnings/Rating: none to start; will update if needed

Today, the Center is...not quite closed, because it was never closed, but the sign out front was a little more specific than usual: indicating that those who had chosen to align themselves with the Foreigners' Guild to stop by at their convenience for a group discussion. Word of mouth was the primary means of getting the information out, but just in case, Zatanna was nearby with a checklist making sure to get names of not only who showed up, but of any known members who did not. So that they could be contacted at a later time and kept in the loop.

For her part, the 19-year-old was sitting casually in her favorite armchair by the fireplace (though currently lit, was emitting very little heat, indicating a more magical nature. For ambiance, mainly) and not-quite-facilitating the entire process. Her body language gave little indication of wanting to step forward as official leader, although she was ready with answers for any who may have had relevant questions.

[[ooc: Characters are encouraged to make their own top levels for open-ended discussion of the state of the Guild; if any of them want to talk to Zatanna specifically, indicate in the subject level and she'll come around.]]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ As she'd mentioned on Network, Sonja was holding a specific vote on who was going to represent the Foreiger's Guild at the High Crimes meeting in the Court of Public Opinion on the 10th. The Kedan were expecting some form of leadership to have coalesced by then, but at this point, Sonja was content with the appearance of it. ]

{{ OOC: This is a top post. The first Comment will be the Top Post for all Nominations. I'll throw up a vote post later after it looks like everyone has gotten their word in!}}

Hello, thank you all for coming.

So without further ado, I now henceforth open the floor forethwidth et cetera for nominations.

I'll start off by Nominating Zatanna to be the Foreigner's Guild spokesman.

[ She was pretty calm about the decision. She'd been thinking about it for a few days now and well... this made the most sense. If she was destined to lead anything in Keeliai, it didn't look like this was it. ]

Zatanna has been here since before the destruction of Malicant, and has been a steady source of support for Forigeners, including her continued support of this very Welcome Center. I think she's the obvious choice to represent the Foreigners to the city.

Seconded.

[ Obviously. But only if she wanted to do it. ]

[Sonja's nomination was...surprising, to say the least, considering their last conversation about the matter. Though once the iniital shock wore off, Zatanna seemed far more content with the idea now that she'd had a good talk with Valdis.]

[So when Jack offered his seconding of the nom, she sent an approving smile his way, following by a playful wink.]

If she wants it. Then someone else needs to run the Welcome Center. She shouldn't have to do both, even if she wants to. [Which he's pretty sure she will.] She'll need the help.

[Penny's point was fair enough that she wasn't going to spend the time arguing with him. There was just one small error, however, that she felt was worth correcting:]

I'm not here by myself, you know. I have Jack. Technically, he was even here first.

Don't know him. As long as he's running things, that satisfies me.

[ While he'd seconded Zatanna's nomination, Sonja had definitely seemed one of their most organized, and that was something that wouldn't go amiss either. ]

One for Sonja.

[ She just about Squeaked. After all, she'd definitely kind of been hoping for a surprise Nomination. But she'd also been trying to manage her expectations.

Now she was a bundle of worrying excited nerves as she wrung out the hem of her dress. ]

Seconded.

[ !!!!! ]

Okay so, it seems like we have our nominees (including her!)

Can everyone raise their hands for Zatanna or me?

[ OOC: Just vote as normal and pretend it was a show of hands. ]

(OOC: If Valdis gets a vote, she votes for Sonja and Zatanna. Because two heads are better than one)

Edited 2017-05-10 14:26 (UTC)

[Danny shrugs and votes for Zatanna. Mostly because he'd met her a few times. ]

[Devin would also like to vote for both, if possible. If forced to choose, Zatanna.

The same above for Pepper.]

Bakura, Jack and Elizabeth will all vote for both as a first choice. As a second choice, Jack votes for Zatanna, and Bakura and Elizabeth vote for Sonja.

[Alex votes for both. Sonja, if forced to choose.

Aly votes for Zatanna.

Miles votes for both. Zatanna, if forced to choose.]

Kylo would vote "neither" but since he's a lazy ass and didn't run himself, if he must vote he votes for Sonja.

Penny votes whoever wants it and has time to do it right. He'll suggest Zatanna as "troop leader" if pressed, only if she gives the Welcome Center to Jack to run, because everyone knows her and Sonja will be busy starting a business.

[Adrien will vote for both and be pretty unmoving on that one. Two heads work the best. ]

[Since a lot of the consensus seems to be that two heads are better than one, that's what Zelos opts for. If it's not possible for whatever reason, hey, Zatanna's already kind of a go-to for Foreigners by virtue of the Welcome Center. She makes more sense.

But seriously, why not both?]
