Andrasta had made a few new posters. Next to one that said "End detention!" she was putting up a couple new ones. One of them said "More Parties!" It had an explanation printed under it: "It can be hard to make friends when you're new in the middle. With regular events that are meant to draw in new people, it should get easier. Plus, we'll all be having more fun. Vote Andrasta!"

Some of the teachers had apparently been implying that Andrasta was lying to them about her anti-detention stance, making crazy false promises to get their student council vote. But she was serious about it - more serious about it than even the student council thing, and more of the teachers were starting to recognize that. She had even gotten one of the scouts on her side, one Titus Drakenhardt. It was getting people to talk. That, in itself, was a victory. But she knew she couldn't just go all in on one issue that only affected the 'bad' kids.

A few students walked past her. "Keep it up, Andrasta!" one of them said. That guy was a frequent flier at detention. Andrasta turned around and smiled, raising a fist in the air. "We can win this!" she answered. Then she went right back to putting up her poster.

As Lizzy walked through the hall, detention slip in hand. She couldn't help but feel a little jaded. After all, she was still new to the island, how was she supposed to know calling some vampire an "disgusting overgrown parasite" would get such an angry reaction And earn her a detention.

She was startled by a sudden yell of "we can win this!" and she quickly turned an angry glare at the source of the yell, about to tell them off. Then she realized who it was.

"Hey.. You're that 'abolish detention' girl, right?" She asked, walking up to her. She hadn't been following the election that much, but she had noticed all the "abolish detention" posters and what not around the school.

If she was being honest, the idea of abolishing detention did sound pretty good. Detention was stupid, plus sending her to detention wasn't going to magically make Lizzy a better person. If anything it would just be a waste of everyones time. So just abolishing it was definitely something she could get behind.

Andrasta turned around to find an angry-looking girl, a bit taller and older than herself, asking her if she was the 'abolish detention girl.' The redhead had a slightly angry look on her face, which was really just her neutral expression. "Yep, that's me."

"You can also call me Andrasta," she added. "But they still have 'Riley' on the ballot as my first name."

People still sort of assumed she'd grow out of this and change her name back to Riley. That part could be true.

Lizzy nodded Andrasta confirmed who she was. "Lizzy." She said, looking the other girl over. She'd expected her to be a little older.

"You're really serious about this, huh?" she said, looking at Andrasta's posters, before adding "I'm with you on this one, detention is stupid." she'd thought that maybe on a magical island, detention might have been interesting, but from the sound of it, it was just the same boring old detention as everywhere else.

Lizzy asked if she was really serious. Andrasta nodded. "Yeah."

When Lizzy said she was on board, Andrasta grinned back at her. "It's dumb as hell. They could literally replace it with nothing and do a better job. Actually, uh," She looked around on the ground below. Then, she found her backpack, and picked it up. "Do you want to see some of the fliers I made? They have some stuff about a study, where it basically proved detention makes kids behave worse. 'Cause that's why I say stuff like that."

She was already starting to look into one of the pockets on her pack.

Lizzy nodded as Andrasta dug into her backpack for some more fliers. "They really could, I mean, whats the actual point of detention?" Lizzy asked, before Andrasta mentioned she had a study which surprised her.

"Wait really?!" she asked, as Andrasta dug into her bag to find one of the flyers, then skimming it once the girl found it. "That's really interesting actually.. I take it you've been to detention before?" Lizzy asked, figuring that Andrasta probably been to detention once or twice. "After all, we gotta look out for each other." she said, before waving her own to detention slip, so Andrasta could see it.

"Yeah..." Andrasta sighed. "I used to be in detention pretty much every other week. That's still what my reputation is like with the teachers, even though I stopped being that way like a year ago. I got mad at them, they gave me detention, I got madder at them and acted out more, and it kept going like that."

She shrugged. "I think they might still hate me. I kinda blame detention for it, more than I blame them. Even if I think they should be better than that."

"So uh, what are you in for?"

"Calling a vampire a 'parasite'" Lizzy said with a shrug. Honestly, she was surprised that was what got her a detention and not any of her various pranks. "He was being an asshole, so I called him a parasite, then he got really angry. It's bull, but at least he got one too." Of course, that was far from the only thing Lizzy had said/done to him, but it was the only part that actually got her in trouble.

Taking another look at the posters, she noticed Andrastra was running for president. While the actual position didn't matter, she guessed it made sense, since president was the top position on the council. Meaning that it was probably the most powerful, and the only position that could actually bring change.

"Well, you've got my vote for resident, definitely a better option then voting Orsick, even if he isn't going for president." saying the dragons name with noticeable disgust.

Calling a vampire a parasite? Wow. Andrasta blinked a few times at that. But it wasn't too different from how she used to talk before coming here.

She didn't know what the deal was with Lizzy and Orsick. She made a face. This was a red flag, definitely. Orsick was one of her best friends. Maybe even a boyfriend? She hadn't talked about it with him yet. But, one tricky thing at a time.

"Well... one of the things I was thinking they could replace detention with is just, like, having teachers or someone sit down with ones who did something wrong and talk through why it's wrong. Cause respect is a two way street, and honestly I kinda feel like throwing someone in detention isn't really respectful to them."

It kind of felt to Andrasta like nobody explained to Lizzy why what she said was wrong, because she didn't see any amount of embarrassment on Lizzy's face. No cringing or remorse. "Um... how long have you been on the island?"

Lizzy tensed at Andrastas reaction. She wasn't friends with him, was she? She really hoped Andrasta wasn't. She really liked the idea of no detention, and Andrasta had seemed nice enough. But the name dropping of Orsick seemed to have created some tension.

Lizzy nodded along with Andrastas respect speech, before pausing and thinking for a moment "Depends on what you mean. I've really only been going to school for a few weeks now, before that I spent a month in that hellhole called "the islets." All told... I'd say about 2 months. Why?"
