Who Gets the Thermos? spacepiratevala January 14 2008, 02:27:37 UTC

Soon with types of government

You'd have to vote first, but the campaign speeches should be interesting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, classmates, Professor Mal Doran, friends. I stand before you today as a candidate for the thermos of hot chocolate. As a once great president said, ask not what your classmates can do for you but what you can do for your classmates. Guarantee me the hot chocolate and I'll put my full support behind you. We'll go beyond this tiny classroom, step outside the boundaries that have been put upon us for so very long and venture forth to a place where we can all get what we want. I'll make it my personal duty to ensure that each and every one of you has your very own full thermos of whatever heated beverage you like. Make the decision you know to be right. Vote for me, Ferris Bueller, candidate for the thermos of hot chocolate."

Katara tilted her head. "I will vote for you. If you make good on your promises by sharing your thermos of hot chocolate with me."

"I promise to make good on my promise to ensure that everyone has whatever drink they want," Ferris replied diplomatically.

"Nah, I want a promise of half the thermos now," Katara argued. "What good is it to have drinks later?"

"It's pretty clear that the good Professor here gave us limited supplies in order to get us to fight each other for them. It's not likely that the representation in the class is equally two for coffee, two for tea and two for hot chocolate. In the end, someone's going to lose unless you change the rules," Ferris replied with a smile. "If you vote for me for the beverage of my choice, then I've promised to get everyone their drink of choice in good time. It may mean a little patience, but at least in the end everyone wins, whereas if we all try to get drinks now, someone's bound to lose."

Since this is a birthright thing, first person to ping into this thread rules.

It's good to be the King.

John so wanted to be a king. "Okay, people. As your most excellent king, I think we should start with some compliments. Maybe some bribes."

"I hear you look good with pink hair." Anemone grinned and leaned back in her seat. "That takes a lot of talent to pull off. I should know."

Re: Who Gets the Thermos?--Monarchy missed_the_gate January 14 2008, 03:38:45 UTC

"That I do," John replied. "Though, I will always prefer my natural hue."

Re: Who Gets the Thermos?--Monarchy death_of_hope January 14 2008, 03:43:08 UTC

"Well, we can't all be as naturally handsome as you, now can we?" she asked, somehow managing to keep a straight face. "Most of us don't have the option of being pretty no matter what."

"Can I have the thermos of chocolate now, please?"

Re: Who Gets the Thermos?--Monarchy missed_the_gate January 14 2008, 03:45:19 UTC

"Definitely not," he said. "I'm finding your compliments a little...empty and making me recall a really distressing week of pink hair that I had been repressing."

Re: Who Gets the Thermos?--Monarchy death_of_hope January 14 2008, 03:47:47 UTC

"But I was told you were pretty!" Anemone let her lower lip wibble slightly, eyes welling up. "Are you saying I was lied to?"

Re: Who Gets the Thermos?--Monarchy missed_the_gate January 14 2008, 03:51:00 UTC

"I'm saying that, as your King, I get to make up the rules as we go along," John said. "And you could use a lesson or two in sucking up."

Re: Who Gets the Thermos?--Monarchy death_of_hope January 14 2008, 04:12:17 UTC

"Yeah, I'm not good at it. I consider it a virtue," Anemone said, dropping the act. "Fine. You give me the chocolate, I tell you how Faile did it. Then you can go back to safely repressing, and I won't bring it up again."
