[maid_brienne]

Brienne had been startled by the nomination, but she had decided, after not very much soul-searching at all, that she really ought to accept it.

She had no idea what to expect from the prefect debates, so she showed up in the Great Hall in freshly clean armor, Oathkeeper a striking presence at her hip. She kept one hand on the hilt of the blade, more for courage than anything else, and strode purposefully onto the stage. Public speaking was not a forte, but this was, she reasoned, no more stressful than a tourney and she'd competed in any number of those.

She cleared her throat, hearing the echo of the sound as the mic amplified her voice, and stared out at the assembled faces, looking for familliar people. Satisfied that she recognized a few faces, she cleared her throat and began.

"How will you make your House a better place? Well, I have already gotten the sorting hat to provide Gryffindor some workout equipment. I would see Gryffindor become as lively a place for people to gather as Ravenclaw or Slytherin

[adm_zex]

*Cough* "Is this thing on?"

"Hello, fellow Hogwarts students! I want to help make Ravenclaw House into a more open and tolerant place by giving symposiums on difference and inviting students to show and tell. Installing hot-tubs will be one of the first things I will do if I become prefect! Also I will listen to any questions and concerns you may have and make Ravenclaw a better place for all of us. In my former job as admiral, listening was one of the most important parts.

2.Are you Experienced? Have you ever been experienced?

"Yes! I have extensive experience in resolving disputes and developing strategy. Ravenclaw is known for bright students and here I can assemble the brightest minds to help make the house better."

3) Teamwork is important. How do you get along with the members of your House?

"I always-hee! feel it is important to make new friends. I've been getting on very- hee! hee! well with many of these interesting aliens."

4) If you were to get your ass kicked, who would you want to do it and why?

Zex looked behind

[curlybrain]

"How, exactly, would installing hot tubs encourage diversity in Ravenclaw?" Professor Granger wanted to know. It was obvious from her tone that she was probably not going to like the answer, no matter what it was.

[adm_zex]

"Among other things it would educate students about physical differences" Zex said cheerfully. "This is a mostly human school, but there are many aliens, and besides, you humans are a fairly diverse race yourselves.

If you have any ideas you like better, I'd be glad to hear them."

[woocha]

What's so funny? Wishbone couldn't help asking.

[nordic_stoic]

1) How will you make your House a better place?

"'d cl'n up th'common room so it i'nt m'ssy." The food libraries was a bit disorganized

2) Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?

"'m Sweden. 've got c'nt'ries of 'xp'rence leading a co'ntry."

3) Teamwork is important. How do you get along with the members of your House?

"Dunno. J'st got here."

4) If you were to get your ass kicked, who would you want to do it and why?

"F'nland. He's m'wife, and would h'lp me recover."

5) Who is your hero and why?

"Gustavus the Great." One of the greatest kings Sweden ever knew, and oddly enough one of the few things he can say clearly.

6) Where my lasers at?

"Dunno. Estonia?"

[igorofmalaria]

Igor felt it was time to speak up.

"What will you do about the lack of experimental cadavers at Hogwarts?"

[nordic_stoic]

"T'lk to nearby h'spitals 'bout donating b'dies."

[igorofmalaria]

Igor nodded. "Good answer. You mean there are hospitals nearby?"

He was impressed, but he'd probably end up voting for Amyranth anyway.

[iam_beowulf]

Beowulf spent more time ogling Admiral ZEX than contemplating the debate starter questions. That didn't dent his confidence any, though. He leapt onto the stage and stood proudly forth

[miranda_bnewski]

Oh, great! it was that guy. The one who wanted to swive Oly.

"How do you intend to destract the monsters!?" She heckled

[iam_beowulf]

Beowulf answered by swiveling his leather-clad hips and brandishing his sword. At the same time. While grinning madly.

[miranda_bnewski]

Miranda laughed- and nearly fell down. Well at least he's good-looking in a way.

[papayagami]

Well. Huh.

Soichiro felt a bit awkward, he had meant to support Matsuda's campaign. But then he decided it couldn't be that bad. Maybe they'll both be elected.

1) How will you make your House a better place?

"By making sure all problems in-house will be resolved in a fair manner."

2) Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?

"Well, I was a member of the National Police Agency for some years prior to coming here, and I've mentored a couple other detectives, including my fellow candidate Touta Matsuda."

3) Teamwork is important. How do you get along with the members of your House?

"Yes, teamwork is important. I make sure everyone has something to do, preferably a job they do well."

4) If you were to get your ass kicked, who would you want to do it and why?

Soichiro looked horrified. "Next question please."

5) Who is your hero and why?

Soichiro now looked abashed. "I actually...well, I don't really have a hero."

6) Where my lasers at?

"Er....in your room?"

[iam_beowulf]

"YOU MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO DO?" Beowulf didn't know whether to be confused or affronted. "THAT NEVER HAPPENED."

[papayagami]

"Excuse me? I'm not sure I understand your question."

[iam_beowulf]

"IF YOU MAKE SURE THIS HAPPENS, THAT MEANS YOU ARE DOING IT ALREADY! RIGHT NOW! BUT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AND IS NOT HAPPENING!"

Unless Soichiro gave everyone a job but Beowulf.
