Cookies Seem Like A Logical Step

Anthia had a habit of messing around within the Rosales kitchen to make snacks. Of course, she was always supervised by someone to make sure she didn't hurt herself or blow something up while she was trying something new. However, this time she utilized her abilities as an opportunity to promote herself rather than fatten her siblings with sugar. (Though it's not like she'd be against them eating the cookies anyway.) What she created were several batches of sun shaped cookies. They were perfectly golden and delicious-looking. They smelled warm and inviting. Some of them were plain while others contained sweet filling. Annie was organized enough to have labeled them in different boxes prior, so she could lay them out on a long table with small signs that signaled what type of cookies they were. She also made space for drinks. The drinks were various tasty fruit juices with bright, warm colors. Cups and plates were on a tiny table right next to the large table of food. Since this was for the sake of promotion, it didn't cost anything at all. The table was beautifully decorated with summer theme galore with a "Vote For Anthia!" sign written in stylized paint. The location was outside within a heavy traffic part of the courtyard, so it would be hard to miss the setup. She had some backup food prepared in case the crowd gobbled up all that was on display.

"Hello everyone!~ Free snacks and drinks here!"

Anthia's booth was approached by two gentlemen. One had pale green hair. How soothing! She did not expect him to offer something as trade. She wasn't looking for payment, but that treat appeared awfully scrumptious. She nodded and accepted the trade with a smile. The shape in particular appealed to her greatly. She wanted to try her hands at making the treat later.

"Thank you very much! Pick whichever flavor you like!"

There were other people around that were of course interested in trying out the snacks, but the person that grabbed her attention was the very attractive brunette with glasses that arrived at the table. Of course, she wasn't attracted to him in the sexual sense but he seemed like a nice guy! A blush crossed her face as the green-haired man made a compliment.

"I hope so.....I'm actually running for a seat in general. I made these cookies myself! It wasn't hard, but it did take a long time to make so many batches."

She wasn't really one for President, so it would surprise her completely to be put in such a role. Then again, she was leader of the Maid Cafe now.....there were just so many big changes going on!

"By platforms, do you mean what I intend to do as a student council member?"

She noticed there were a lot of chocolate chip sun cookies missing. Yikes, did that many people like them? Maybe she should have made more of those....Anthia curtsied for Dorian. That had to be rectified first before she could answer him.

"One moment please."

The girl turned so that her side was facing the fellow politicians. There were plastic containers containing more cookies where she was looking. Clearly these were kitchen containers; she must have gotten them from home. She found the one containing the rest of the chocolate chip sun cookies and placed the cookies down in the empty spot. As she set them up, she began to speak once more.

"I'm interested in helping students coming into the school. While I believe the academy has good systems in place for new students, there are many that struggle with adapting to the new environment, especially those from less-than-friendly backgrounds. It would be beneficial if we had more events set in place to help people find their comfort zones and blend in better with the student body."

What helped was that she was speaking based on experience. After all, she was just a poor orphan a while ago. She had a....less-than-pleasant past that made it difficult for her to socialize and speak out. Now that she was feeling more proactive, she wanted to help those with similar problems.

"In order to ensure the academy remains an open and welcoming place, I would also like to tackle bullying and discrimination with better, enforced policies."

Anthia then realized that there was yet another candidate that was likely listening to her words. He also uttered a compliment towards her she believed. Whoops! Her cheeks flushed red.

"I-I'm sorry Sage, hi! I'm Anthia. And thank you!"

That took her out of her random speech moment.
