BBS video from Russell's ID

[wrnpcs]

[Oh hey, it's that handsome blonde guy from the GFC with the scar in his upper lip.]

Hello, citizens of Balamb Garden! I'm Russell Drake from the Garden Festival Committee, on the BBS today to announce Homecoming! For those of you who missed the last one and, like me, are from a place where homecoming isn't really a thing [the reason for the GFC's weird ideas about and timing for homecoming], it's a weekend party with a carnival and a dance where you might just win a plastic crown! [You may think he's being sarcastic about that crown, but in fact he is very earnest. Who wouldn't want a plastic crown??]

Get to know your fellow classmates and SeeDs, because next week in the quad, we'll be holding write in nominations for Homecoming Court, with SeeDs eligible for the titles of King and Queen as appropriate for their gender, and Cadets similarly eligible for Prince and Princess. They'll then have four weeks to campaign for your votes at the Homecoming Dance, which will be held on November 9th. Please note that last year's winners, SeeD Marco, Instructor Pinkie Pie, SeeD Edward Elric, and SeeD Mikuru Asahina are not eligible for nomination. Each organization may also choose their own Beaus and Sweethearts to represent them in the Court!

During homecoming week, week 6 of the trimester, we'll also be holding a date auction for those who want a little extra help getting a date for the dance, and a carnival on Friday November 8th. Yes, that means a day off school for fun, food, and entertainment! Let us know now about any stalls you'd like to see or perhaps run here; we love taking suggestions! The usual favorites such as the dunk tank, kissing booth, food stands, and talent quest will all be there; however, the Ferris wheel, bumper cars, and carousel have declined to return this year. [Alas, financial issues and unpopular political independence are not a good combination.] Personally, my favorites are the food stands - I love trying food from everyone's home worlds!

On behalf of the GFC, I'd like to wish everyone a warm welcome back to Balamb continent and the new trimester. Drake, out.

Russ!

What are your thoughts on the classrooms being turned into different events or themes in place of the fair rides? We could have a coffee house, an art gallery and all sorts of other neat things! Plus, if we opened it up to the public, it could give them an opportunity to see another side of Garden.

I don't see why not! We've never had a problem having Garden open for other school events, after all. I'll put that on the agenda to talk over with the rest of the GFC - if you could help out in the meantime by drumming up interest for it, even better!

I'll see what I can do Russ! What time is the meeting?

[windbreak]

suggestions? howwww about a beauty pageant!
i mean a date auction is all well and good but you gotta know what your getting into right??

for girls only though
just the girls
obviously

[redcinemareel]

Why not the men, as well?

[windbreak]

dude whod want to see that?

[gotgreedy]

I think I like your style.

[windbreak]

cmon im sure im not the only one thinking it
you cant have one without the other right? its just unfair

[tempesting]

I think that's a little unfair.

If you have girls in the pageant, there should be boys, too.

[windbreak]

ok but what kind of guy would sign up for that? isnt that a littel creepy?

Excellent! I can't wait to being!

Are you going to go to the dance, too, Mrs. Sutcliff?

-Dolphin

[ Secretaries should stick together! ]

[BBS]

[redcinemareel]

The Homecoming Dance? I don't see why I wouldn't!

[Secretary, huh?]

[ascendit]

free food gets my nomination/vote

just putting it out there

[wrnpcs]

Sure, if you're paying for it!

[This message is from a different ID to Russell's, and unsigned...]

[ascendit]

that's not what free means

[fotlenke]

I would not mind officiating an archery booth, if I may give my suggestion so early.

-Sigyn Freyasdotter

[wrnpcs]

As in a shooting game? That would be great! I'm sure it'd draw a crowd. [Says the guy who fletches arrows as a hobby.] And naturally there's no such thing as too early. Just let us know if you need any extra help putting it together.

RD

[fotlenke]

I suppose I will require assistance. I believe true arrows are much too hazardous for this occasion. Should an arrow turn errant, it would surely injure someone. I would prefer plastic arrows, as they would do little harm if miss-shot.

[He's about to make some glib comment about voting Marco king but then that bolded date auction catches his attention.]

Yall seriosly auction each other off?

[fierybluebird]

[He already was King thank you.]

Not like a slave auction. It's for one night, the money goes to charity, and it's more to win a date.

I'm submitting Ace and Thatch. Want to see how many girlfriends fling themselves and money onto the stage for a chance to date you?

[om_nom_namur]

Hell no you leave me out of that auction shit

Find me a damn mission or something to go on. Too tempted to reck shit otherwise

[thatched]

The hell you are.

[fionna_time]

Date auction? People actually need those? Sounds sad,

[wrnpcs]

Hey, it's all in good fun! And not to sound pushy, but the proceeds do go straight in the GFC coffers so we can carry on funding the events you like. Don't worry if it doesn't interest you, though - rest assured we're not skimping on the carnival, either!
