Event Private Finished For God's Sake

Sidney kept colouring as she listened, giving the poster a light blow then putting a cap back on the marker she used and letting it dry.

"Not bad honestly. It has been a rough go around here lately, not that I really know what last year was like. With the Dark Crystal incident, I would've thought there would've been some sort of event or something to have students help show us around the island after how much it changed, but that never happened, we had to figure it out ourselves. Not that I would've gone anyway, but still..." She uncapped another marker and added a sun and a few firework effects all around.

The topics, while serious, didn't sound that way thanks to the goofy tone she used. "And then with the human shape charms going on the fritz, everyone who isn't rich or needs one to live is stuck being them self. I don't really have a problem with the new level of freaky around here, but I don't think everyone shares that opinion." She took the poster and held it up for Bel to see. "So I guess it might be kinda cool to believe in something better," She smirked and continued, "Although... how do I know you don't smell?"

Sidney’s antennae twitched. “But if we add that then it’s going to donk up the rhyme again. It’s gotta be catchy so you can get in their heads.” She shook her head.

“Anyway, I guess we probably need more posters, huh?” As easy as making one poster and leaving would have been, she kinda knew it wouldn’t be that easy. Besides, she was admittedly enjoying this.

“How about... Let’s build a more welcoming school-“ She squinted to come up with the next part just moments later. “Vote for Bel you fool.”

She grinned, quite content with that one. “And we could have like a picture of some different looking students holding hands and being all smiley.”

“Ha, alright, coming right up.” She pulled out another piece of poster paper and started writing down what she’d suggested at the top. She was honestly surprised that Bel was okay with this one, it seemed she had more of a sense of humour than originally expected.

On normal circumstances, Sidney would never become a campaign manager for something like this. However, Bel managed to push all the right buttons, feeding her ego just enough bait to get her on board. “Yeah, I’m pretty much made of good ideas, I just can’t help it.” She shrugged and started drawing a human, werewolf, vampire, angel and demon all holding hands at the bottom.

“I am pretty great, huh?” Sidney liked the praise. Praise was good. “I wouldn’t usually get more involved than this but, eh, I don’t have much else going on anyway.”

She smiled when Bel noticed her drawing. “Pretty clever, right? They’re gonna eat this right up.” She got to work colouring it in, before asking what was next.

“So, got any more important stuff we should posterize? Could do one or two about making life better for new students. A lot of people here have been a new student at some point, I’m sure they’d dig that.”

Sidney thought about it. “Yeah, makes sense.” She started drawing a single fearful outsider and then an island with a bunch of welcoming looking faces.

Afterward, she continued bouncing ideas back and forth with Bel and drawing them out when needed. She actually enjoyed the whole process. It didn’t feel much like work at all.

Before long, they had a whole stack of posters. A mix of important messages and ideas as well as a touch of goofiness here and there.

There was already more than enough, but it seemed Sidney still wanted to keep going. “Alright, what’s next?”
