The latest round of Island Council elections were finished, and I once again had the job of posting the results to the Compound bulletin board: Tabula Rasa Island Council - Term 12

Raylan always has mixed feelings on parties like these. On one hand, he's not exactly a social butterfly but, on the other, there's no reason to lock himself away. And, on this occasion, he owes Steve congratulations besides. He finds himself a corner to stand in. He knows exactly how long that vantage point'll last before Rachel or Danny get ahold of him.
If there was one thing Nick appreciated about the island, it was the inhabitants' constant enthusiasm for social gatherings and parties. Even though he was far from a party animal, it was nice to see how people always gathered together to celebrate. The parties were always nice times to seek out familiar faces, too, and so Nick paused whenever he passed Raylan standing quietly at the wall.
"Everything going alright?" Nick asked conversationally. "Heck of a party, as usual, looks like."
"Looks like," echoes Raylan, giving Nick a little smile and a tip of his hat. "Got a friend who made it into the council this time, so we're celebrating."
"Congratulations to your friend, then," Nick said with a grin. "Who's your friend? Always nice to make those sorts of connections."
Though the population of the island was always in flux, it was still like a small town in many ways, and it was nice to be able to connect the dots between people. It could come in handy some day.
"Steve," says Raylan, lifting one hand to point him out in the crowd. "He's actually Rachel's best friend's other half, but, you know. Gotta get into the spirit."
Nick nodded as he followed Raylan's gesture to Steve. "I'll have to make sure to introduce myself to him," he said. "I hope someone already warned him about all the paperwork that comes with being on the council." Maybe it was just the lab, what with it being prone to explosions and strange equipment, but Nick still couldn't get over how many times he felt like he had to fill something out. Somewhere, Grissom was probably laughing. "And hey, if there's anything we're good at here, it's getting in the spirit. Doesn't even need to be a holiday."
Still...
