typist: the American elections are in two days. therefore, it is time for Election AU.

*Polonius is at the airport, having disembarked from Claudius's campaign plane after a rally in Århus. went rather well, he thinks, considering that the population is on average fairly young and might be expected to support Hamlet in the election.*

*Gertrude is waiting for him, smiling nervously. this election has been hard on her - she finally decided to support Claudius, because, well, Hamlet is crazy* How was it?

[o_i_am_slain]

I think it went well, Your Majesty. I still do not think we will win a majority of the votes in that area, but the turnout was better than I expected.

*quietly* No death threats this time?

Typist: So Forti's running? Hee!

[o_i_am_slain]

None, Your Majesty, though I assure you, had there been, the Secret Service would have been quite capable of handling anything.

typist: Apparently. *g* Though not with too much effort; he seems to be focusing more on the military. Does that work?

*and here's Osric, huddled around his cell phone, barely checking his volume and making up for it in intensity* --well, your polling data's messed up. What demographics are you surveying? Are you even, like, paying attention to demographics? *a pause* Look, just get in touch with professional pollsters, mmmkay? Bye.

How are the latest results?

[tuneofthetime]

Weird, sir. Just ... really weird. Is there seriously, like, a Norwegian candidate?

[o_i_am_slain]

*frowns* Prince Fortinbras of Norway has announced his candidacy, yes. Though I do not think he is pursuing too active of a political campaign.
