-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?

[the_prodigal_son]

She's sort of my sister.

[kickstart_my_heart]

How is someone only sort of your sister?

[the_prodigal_son]

I don't know. She's sure she's never been to Rapture, but she looks so much like my little sisters... they all had eyes like hers. They only got them from Tenenbaum's experiments... the same ones that made me.

[He bites his lip briefly.]

It's probably not true, but I want to believe she's one of them. Somehow.

[kickstart_my_heart]

Well... I mean, even if she isn't, no reason to not make friends, right? If she's not weirded out or anything.

[the_prodigal_son]

I'm sure she thinks it's weird. I've been up all week trying to figure out if there's a way her memories are fake like mine...

[And he's not kidding, he hasn't slept in six days.]

[kickstart_my_heart]

Sounds like something you'd need to talk to the school admins about. They'd have her records.

[the_prodigal_son]

I had certificates for who I was... the records won't mean much.

[kickstart_my_heart]

I feel like I regularly need to remind you that our headmaster can read minds. You can't really falsify records with a man like that.

[the_prodigal_son]

But what if...

[Mmph.]

....What if I find out she isn't? I just... She's the closest I've seen to someone from Rapture, if she is a Little Sister I'll finally have someone to talk to that.. understands.

[kickstart_my_heart]

... I understand why that's important to you, Jack. We've talked enough about it that I get that weight. But... You have be prepared to expect the possibility that she's just another mutant girl.

[the_prodigal_son]

...I don't wanna lose another little sister.

[kickstart_my_heart]

Can't say if you will or won't, and I'm not gonna promise you anything... but I will say that no matter what happens, that girl could use a friend, regardless. So no matter what happens... just stick with her, alright?

[the_prodigal_son]

[He nods quickly.]

I will.

[He's already decided he's sworn to protect her, for one reason or another.]

[kickstart_my_heart]

Good. And of course you'll introduce me to her, right?

[the_prodigal_son]

[He nods again.]
