Event Finished Catch Those Fliers!

A’laya didn’t live on campus, so as of late they had been spending most of their bus travelling time on figuring out student election related things.

“Heated pool…heated pool…the need for the heated pool is because…” A’laya mumbled to themselves as they scrawled notes down in a little notepad. Between their webbed fingers that were not really made to hold a pen, and A’laya’s shaky hyper hand, their handwriting was barely legible to pretty much everyone except A’laya themselves. Writing in a moving vehicle didn’t help much, either.

A’laya didn’t actually have class that day, but had decided to head to the school to put up some posters and hand out some fliers. They were supposed to wait for their girlfriend to help out after she got out of class, but A’laya was twitchy and impatient and decided to just start doing things themselves.

The bus soon reached the school, where A’laya hopped out. Unfortunately as they hopped out of the bus, something snapped on the strap of their bag and a bunch of their newly printed fliers fell out.

“Ah baaaaaalls!” A’laya yelped as they tried to grab at the pieces of paper as they started to blow away in the wind.

When A'laya managed to somewhat catch up with her runaway fliers, it was a relief to find someone else trying to catch them.

"Ahh, thanks man!!" A'laya said as they scrambled to grab as many as they could, not recognizing Havoc at first in the fray. And while a couple were a lost cause, far out of their grasp, the two of them did manage to grab quite a few.

"Ah man..." A'laya said with a tired sigh as they shoved some fliers back into their bag. Then they looked up and soon realized.

"Oh! You're Havoc! Hey! Thanks for helping me!"

A’laya nodded as they took the fliers from Havoc and shoved them in their bag.

“Yup, that’s me! A’laya the Serpent~” A’laya flashed a big, bright smile. “Nice to finally meet you too!”

A’laya fussed for a moment with their bag, wanting to make sure it didn’t break and send their fliers flying again. They glanced up briefly and blinked when Havoc asked about their platform.

“Oh, sure sure sure. What did you want to ask about it?”

A’laya laughed, scratching at the back of their neck.

“I know, I kinda talk really fast and sometimes my intentions kind of end up flying in all different directions when I’m talking.”

And that was probably going to continue to happen even in this conversation.

“So, like, I really like to help people, you know? That’s why I’ve got this whole web series and massive blog n’ stuff. With those I help people with makeup and fashion n’ stuff because I’m good at that stuff and people like what I have to share. But with the student council, like, I want to help the school be the best damn school it can be and I want students love their school and I want that pride in their school to translate into loving themselves too, you know??”

A’laya took a breath, paused.

“…Mm, I did it again didn’t I? All over the place,” they laughed.

“Ohh, thank you! Free self defense classes is smart. You should get that really butch werewolf lady to do them. I always hear good things about her!”

Suddenly, A’laya heard their phone buzzing in their bag and pulled it out.

“Woah! Sorry Havoc, looks like I gotta cut this short. Something’s up with my girlfriend.”

A’laya flashed an apologetic smile.

“Thank you for helping me grab my fliers!” they quickly added before running off toward the school.
