[Bulla's walking around and handing out turquoise coloured flyers. Thanks to Vanille's help, she's got some that are pretty nice. The ones Bulla made herself are simpler, although they get the message across.

The ads Bulla made read "Vote Bulla Brief for Homecoming Princess. As the Head of Fight Club, the unofficial Fashion Club and a member of the Garden Festival Committee, she stays involved with what's going around Garden. She can also protect you from Grell."

Bulla offers a cheerful smile to everyone she approaches.]

Hi!

[Seeing all this Homecoming crap around Garden is putting him in a bad mood. So when Bulla goes to hand him one with her cheerful "Hi!", Seifer doesn't take it he just gives her a deadpan expression.]

How do you plan on goin' around and protecting cadets from this 'Grell'? With her poorly filed down teeth, she's harmless I bet.

[He folds his arms over his chest.]

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Well, her flyers for Homecoming Princess said 'Vote or die'. Not that I think she'd kill anybody, but if she's going to put threats on hers, I thought I'd offer protection on mine.

[At least she hopes Grell wouldn't kill anyone and that it's just Grell's somewhat morbid sense of humour.]

I could lift her with one hand, so if I really needed to protect cadets, I could pick her up and move her away.

[Although at 5'1", the teen's claim might be a little doubtful even if it is true.]

[burntglory.livejournal.com]

[Seifer eyes her and snorts.]

You- physically move her- with just your one hand. [He begins to snicker.] Highly doubt that.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

I could move you with just one hand, too.

[She sounds absolutely confident in this claim.]

Easily.

[burntglory.livejournal.com]

It doesn't surprise me, you wantin' to touch me. But I'm gonna have to crush those dreams-- I'm a taken man.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

[Bulla rolls her eyes.]

And I'm sure you and your ego will have a happy life together.

[burntglory.livejournal.com]

She serves me well when I need her. Everythin' a man needs in a woman.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

[It's ridiculous enough that Bulla just continues along with it.]

But how does your ego look in a dress?

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm trying to get people to vote for me to be Homecoming Princess. Homecoming Queen is for female SeeDs and I'm still a cadet.

[She smiles.]

It's just for fun, though.




(ooc: There was a Terra in game a long time ago. Is it okay if I have Bulla recognize her and confuse your Terra with "When did you get back? I missed you!" or would you prefer I didn't?)

[Katara takes the flyer that Bulla hands to her and looks down to read it.]

Oh, you're running for Homecoming Princess? I'll definitely vote for you!

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I thought it would be fun.

...and it would definitely give those annoying gossips around the school something to talk about if an off-worlder won.

[Although she just looks amused rather than spiteful.]

[watertides.livejournal.com]

[Katara laughs at Bulla's amused look.] I'd love to see their faces. Anyways, I'm sure you'll get enough votes to win! I'll tell my friends to vote for you, too.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Katara! I appreciate it.

Even if I don't win, it's still fun and I'm still going to get a great dress for Homecoming.

[Which reminds her.]

Do you need any help in picking one out?

[watertides.livejournal.com]

Now that you mention it... I could use some help. I haven't even thought of what I could wear to Homecoming.

[Not to mention a certain someone hasn't asked her yet...]

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

[Bulla has no date so far, either. Although she might ask a friend and be done with it.]

Well, let's start off with the basics. Did you want something short, medium length, or ankle length?

...I suppose you could wear a cute pants-suit too, if you really wanted. But there's so much more variety available if you go for a dress.

[watertides.livejournal.com]

[Pant-suit? Katara isn't even sure she knows what that is.]

Um... I think I'll stick with a dress. I'm not sure what length, though; what do you think would be appropriate for the occasion?

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Medium length or ankle length.

[Short skirts have their merits, but this is a formal event being put on by a military school.]

Something short is more appropriate for a party being thrown by friends instead of by Garden.

Hi!

[Serah returns the cheerful smile as she looks at the paper being held out to her.]

Homecoming Princess, huh? That sounds like a lot of fun. [She skims over the ad and then turns her attention back to the other cadet.]

The unofficial Fashion Club? I didn't know we had one of those.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

That's why it's unofficial. It still needs to be formally registered with Garden. You're welcome to join if you want. Fashion Club's mission is to find things that look good that still allow for the freedom of movement that SeeDs need for missions.

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

That actually sounds pretty useful. I never had to do anything like fighting back home, so I could use a few new things.

[She smiles.]

Some new clothes as a whole would be nice too. I like my clothes but they get boring after a while.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

Well, with a Homecoming dance right around the corner...perfect time to go and pick out something nice, right?

[focusrelay.livejournal.com]

That's right, Homecoming is soon isn't it? [She looks thoughtful for a moment.] A new dress would be pretty nice. I could surprise Snow.

So is the fashion club planning on going shopping soon? I'd like to come along if I could.

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

You're welcome to come. Leave it to me.

[Bulla beams.]

By the time I'm done helping you pick out something pretty, I will be very disappointed if Instructor Villiers doesn't just flat out stop in his tracks and stare when he sees you.

[focusrelay.livejournal.com]

Well in that case, I'd love to come.

[Serah beams back before laughing at the second part.]

Somehow I don't think that's going to be an issue.

[She doesn't always understand why, but it's fairly obvious even to her that she could be: covered in dirt while wearing the ugliest dress ever and Snow would still stop and stare.]
