This was a bit too weird for her. Running, all my herself was a bit scary. Yes, her darling sister had helped to make this even possible for her, but it was still very nerve wrecking. Her hands where shaking, cold from the amount of ice that she had to touched in the past few hours. To say the least, she now felt like a ice particle herself. It was all Eroshay's idea too. Now, she was making ice sculptures that were all shapes and sizes. From left to right in a row there was a rather okay try at Eroshay's face, a rose, a cardboard box, some type of water like design and a big heart.

Behind that, there were 3 more rows of 5 where visitors could ask her to sculpt. It would be a lot of work, but Sherry wanted to show everyone the joy of what she would bring to the student council. With a huff, she wiggled her fingers and turned to her stand. There was a sign that read 'Ice Sculpting Workshop', as well as a little table with information and pictures of Sherry. Would this be enough? She sure hoped so.

Dorian was checking out more of the competition. More Rosales? Was old Vito making a political dynasty? It was Sherry this time, the lovely girl with the vibrant orange hair. She was a lot more cheerful than her sister Annie, and with this endeavor, seemed to say she was a lot more eccentric too. They were both equally lovely.

Dorian inspected the sculptures and nodded approvingly, then walked over to Sherry with a smile. "Very nice... Very nice! I love the artistry put in this. Have you been making art sculptures long?"

Sage waved to Sherry as he arrived at her stand. Many campaigners would never dream of supporting their competition, but not this guy. He may have been selfish at times, and he may have been competitive to a fault, but it wasn't like there was only one position on student council. Plus, this girl - Sherry, right? - seemed nervous. Sage was at ease, having entered and won a few elections before, but it seemed like this was her first. So, it was with a gentle, confident smile that Sage approached his runningmate.

"Hey, Sherry! How's everything going with the campaign?" he asked, stopping at her table. Sage nodded to Dorian as well, yet another campaigning student. His multi-colored eyes roamed her displays and widened at the sight. "Those are amazing!" he complimented with a smile, "Are you charging for your talents?"

OH, the lovely Dorian was checking out her stand. Sherry had to contain herself from jumping for joy. He was so attractive and smart, like a fine toned sculpture that she would never be able to make. "Oh thank you!" She chirped out, giving him an approving nod as well. "No actually, I have only been practicing for the past few months, I'm trying to control it better to make something beautiful." My lovely sister Shay gave me the idea!" What a gem that girl was. "Do you have a favorite? Would you like me to make one?"

Even more people seemed to be lining up to see her work. It was a bit embarrassing, that she already had two spectators after just finishing off one of her sculptures. "Oh hello Sage!" She turned to smile at him too, looking back to her works of art for a quick glance. "It's alright I suppose. Shay had to leave so I am a bit on edge but, I really hope that this goes over well!" Her eyes sparkled a bit. "Oh no, it is all free! We will be taking pictures at the end and posting them online. Then... I was thinking that people would vote for the best idea and that person would get something else made by me? Maybe?" With her rant, she was talking tot he both of them.

Vinnie wasn't so much checking out the competition as she was checking out all the activities everyone had put up. Very fabulous! So many unique ideas. When she saw the sign about ice sculptures, Vinanye couldn't have raced to the stand fast enough.

She saw Sherry and gave a big, friendly wave. "These are very pretty! You are making them all by yourself, no help at all?"

That was the sort of reaction he wanted to see! Dorian grinned from ear to ear, cheeks coloring for a bit. Oh dear. Was he really running against girls these cute? He wanted to just gather them all in his arms and give them a seat by his side. Seemed like they'd deserve it.

"Just a few months? Really? Surprising! You're already so good. Do you think you'll keep practicing? I think you have a real talent for this stuff. Maybe in a few months I'll see your work at some fancy party." He raised his eyebrows and leaned in, cheeky smile on his face. "My favorite is the heart. And the rose. Dear, I'm revealing I'm quite the romantic, aren't I?" He chuckled softly.

"Dorian Crawford, but I think you already know." He stood next to her and offered her a handshake. "I can accompany you until Shay gets back, dear. I've been dying to meet you for a while now."

Sage nodded to Sherry, listening intently. "That sounds really cool, actually — and don't be so tense. You're doing well! I think it's great that you can sculpt like this, and that you're willing to put so much effort into this campaign. You'll make a fine council member~" Sage spoke as though he was certain Sherry would do well, and his gentle smiles only served to solidify that. "Have you considered doing a tree? Something with detail, like an oak or a maple? You could also go traditional - a swan, or a dove, maybe? - or a waterfall. It may just be me, but they seem like they'd be popular~"

"Oh hi hi!" She waved to her as much as she could, waving wildly at the new person that was coming to see everything. It was so exciting to have already three people that were interested in what she was not confident about. Sherry waved her hand over them, nodding to her first question. "Yeah! All by myself. I don't know anyone else that would be able to help me. Would you like one?" She gleamed at her.

The smile that he gave her only made her blush. "Thank you, really. It means a lot to know that you like it all." She just chuckled warmheartedly when he answered though. "I would think so! You seem like a very loving person. I would pick the same though, as I made them with someone in mind." Her glance when to the side as she thought about Troy. "You are so nice! I know who you are yes, how could I not? What an amazing person you are, really!" She only hoped that she wasn't over complimenting him.

"Ah, yes." At least her hands were not shaking anymore, as it seemed that his words had done something to boost her attitude towards it all. She only smiled and thought for a moment. "Thank you. I just, I don't know if I am at that skill level yet. But I wouldn't hurt to try, yes?" Sherry looked at the three of them, before slowly making her way over to the ice.

Sage noted her modesty at the subject, but he felt that her work was more skilled than she was giving it credit for. "Nonsense," Sage said, following to watch her work, "you're very good at what you do. I'm excited to see what you have planned with the ice, in any case! What are you thinking so far?" He watched Sherry with a calming expression, nodding to Vinnie as well as she arrived on scene.

Aw, shucks. As much as he wanted to be a bitter person, he couldn't be one at this. She was young and in love, involved, sweet and caring in a way only little girls could be. He couldn't possibly even think of dissuading her. "Oh, no, darling. It's really my pleasure. You're the cute sort, aren't you?" He smiled warmly.

Dorian followed her to the ice, eyeing the giant block of ice. "Are you making more displays? Marvelous! I'd love to see it. I've only ever watched these things on the internet. What are you making, then? You know, just dolphin shapes are popular at fancy high society soirees."
