-The video shows a makeshift platform with both an American and British flag hung behind it, with Bridget dressed in his nicest formal suit and skirt (though still with cute printed stockings, because why not) quickly dashing over to address his phone camera more officially.-

ATTENTION XAVIER INSTITUTE!

If you don't already know, my name is Bridget Halford! And I am running both for your Student Government Vice President, but also your Prom King... or Queen... I'm not picky.

Anyways, what, you ask, am I willing to do for you as the deciding vote holder in all student council meetings, representing your various interests? Well I can assure you of a few things!

The first, is that I am a level headed, diplomatic sort who always wants to look for the best solution for all people involved!

The second, I can promise that I will never approve a vote that misrepresent the interests of the student body!

And the third, I can promise I will always have an appearance that commands attention, respect, and above all admiration! -Cheeky little shit.-

So please vote for me! Bridget Halford is your mate! Don't forget it, okay~?

-And the camera times itself off, having run the timer down.-

What's a Student Government?

[kickstart_my_heart]

Oh come on, Jack, don't tell me you've been zoning out for the last week and a half. Principal Munroe's post is on the network, go watch it!

[the_prodigal_son]

I've, um... I've been busy.

[Which he says in the most awkwardly shady tone of voice.]

Have you... met a girl named Jun Carter?

[kickstart_my_heart]

Hmm... New girl, right? Glowing eyes?

[notacostume]

Sounds to me like you just straight up want it all.

[kickstart_my_heart]

Ambition and politics tend to go hand in hand, right?

[notacostume]

Got me there.

Wait, why don't you care if it's King or Queen?

[kickstart_my_heart]

's not something worth caring about, I think.

[Eddie may not be able to see Bridget's stage and outfit, but he can sure as hell hear the aspiring politician. Oh yeah, Miss Munroe talked about these student elections, didn't she.]

Kind of loud there.

[And that's your constructive criticism for the day.]

[kickstart_my_heart]

Gets attention, though, right?

[stillinthedark]

More like got me right out of a nap.

[Yes he was taking one at his work desk shhhh...]

[kickstart_my_heart]

Should you really be napping this time of day?

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Best of luck.. ...ah... Bridget.

[...he's obviously just a bit thrown off, since the proper forms of address are all gendered and Bridget isn't really cooperating, but other than looking a little self-conscious, he mostly just smiles politely, as usual.]

[kickstart_my_heart]

Thanks! Ah, though... You're running, too, right?

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Mm, that's right, but for the office of President.

[kickstart_my_heart]

Ah, that'd make you the boss, then, right?

[psykick]

[Rinka claps with a smile]

Good luck, Bridget! I think you'd make a great Vice President.

[kickstart_my_heart]

I'm glad you think so! -Ain't no stopping that smile.-

[psykick]

Though, I am curious. What sort of changes would you like to see?

[garganteren]

That doesn't mean anything!

What's your stance on the issues?

[kickstart_my_heart]

Gimme an issue, then, mate, and I'll give you a stance.

[garganteren]

What do you think should be done about the student terrorists here?

[Feliks laughs and gives a little round of applause. He knew something about you spoke to his very soul, Bridget.]

That's the kind of attitude I like to see!

[He's not in his little student room today -- his stuff is still in there until the end of the school year, but it's more or less just his private study right now. Instead, he's on a comfy-looking couch that doesn't look like any of the ones in the common rooms.]

So? Like, what's your platform and junk, for the student government thing?

Also just FYI, if you don't pick King or Queen, you're kinda risking your votes getting split in half and weakening your candidacy.

[Who let Feliks study politics?]

[kickstart_my_heart]

Mostly I want more students to have more opportunities for difference making in terms of community outreach and their own advancement. I know a lot of people stick around here to earn their college credits, but getting some scholarship programs based on community merits for us wouldn't be bad, either. Opportunity AND incentive, you know? Help people get out of their shell and realize we can all do better.

As for the king/queen thing, I'm not particularly worried. Name one bloke here as cute as me. Go on. I'll wait.

[niepokonany]

Me.

[What? He's still a student. You know, for another month or two.]

And that doesn't sound like a bad start... You put a lot of thought into this, huh?
