Homecoming Campaign is a GO [ACTION EVERYWHERE]

[redcinemareel]

[Grell, sporting a cute hoodie with a black skirt and black heels, is everywhere you are, passing out some flyers. She could only make so many color copies, so these were in black and white. Color flyers are in hallways! ADMIRE THEM! She has one flyer as a type of picketing poster.

Yes, it's on a stick.

A flyer comes into your vision!]

[ Kiden originally dutifully ignores some bimbo passing out flyers--prom-type stuff was never her scene to begin with.

When she can't help but overhear something particularly interesting, why suddenly, voting for 'some bimbo' seems relevant.

Backtracking-- ]

Wait. Your name's really...Grill?

[redcinemareel]

[FUMING over that smart-arse little brat from earlier. It's more of a quiet anger, luckily. Turns to the new voice, shaking her head.]

Grell, dear. There is not an 'i', but an 'e'.

[dumpsterdives]

Grell...who calls their kid 'Grell'?

[ WHAT IS UP WITH PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD AND FUNKY NAMES???

Taking one of those flyers, now! ]

[redcinemareel]

It wasn't by choice, I assure you.

[Hands her one.]

I'd rather have something...lighter, like Juliet.

[dumpsterdives]

What don't you just change your name?

[ At least, Kiden rationalizes, it's perfectly fine where she comes from. And, upon flipping through the flyer: ]

'Vote or die...?'

[redcinemareel]

And go through with telling everyone and CORRECT their slip-ups? Fates, no.

[Nods] It stands out, don't you think? [She's smirking. That slogan is COMPLETELY serious.]

[dumpsterdives]

Whatever. Might be a little harsh, though.

[ The idea that someone could be that much invested in a high school drama fest is beyond her, so Grell's seriousness flies high over Kiden's head. ]

[redcinemareel]

If people didn't like harsh, they should check out of this place called LIFE. It doesn't get any harsher than that.

[dumpsterdives]

[ Okay, that gets a bark of laughter out of Kiden. ]

Amen to that. Doesn't mean it'll net you votes in this place.

[ Kiden has a lot of respect for the lofty institution known as Balamb Garden. Tons of it. Clearly. ]

[redcinemareel]

Then I'll just have to work HARDER than the others! [Puts a hand on her hip, the other holding onto her tall sign.] Bad enough everyone is so well educated in conservative folly fueled by society. [Grips onto the stick a bit too tightly, causing some splinters. Oops.] PATHETIC.

[Like that kid from before. It still rubs Grell the wrong way.]

[dumpsterdives]

[ Blink. ]

In English...?

[redcinemareel]

[BLINKS TOO]

I thought that was English.

[dumpsterdives]

'Conservative folly'? Who even talks like that?

[redcinemareel]

Obviously, I do.

I'll put it simply. People are still so narrow-minded after all these CENTURIES!

[dumpsterdives]

[ A pause. ] How old are you?

[redcinemareel]

Why?
