[playitagain]

Who: Nana; open but some closed prompts might be put up as needed!

Where: Across campus.
Warnings: Probably not much, but will update.

1. THE AP-PEEL OF DEMOCRACY (open!)

[In early June, on the quad, Nana has set up one of her big campaign events: the bake sale to end all bake sales.

There is a huge booth there, and it has multiple people helping staff her campaign working it. The Banana Stand is more like a Banana Mart today. Nana's not often behind the counter; she's out mingling with the students who come by, handing over small plates with cookies and slices of banana bread and other delicious goodies. It's a social event!

She's in top form. She has her uniform on, but a sash declaring her a "PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL" on, and she's posing for photos and smiling. There's posters, buttons, and also a wooden cutout of a cute cartoon frog to get a picture with.]

2. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT (open!)

[Recent nightmares (both sleeping and the ones she experienced, firsthand, at the end of May) have Nana on the razor's edge, inside. She's stepped back from feeling so wound up that she might burst, but... she found herself lacking. She'd been defeated twice now.

She can internalize a lot of that, but it needs somewhere to come out.

Today's, she's back inside the Mythril Cages. It's not hard to find her, working through a form with a wooden practice katana -- making her way through it for the sixteenth time today. She has her hair tied back, and has an intense look on her face.

A lot of her strikes are a little too hard.]

Ah, Toki! Hello! [She shoves a muffin into his hands. It's cool, Toki. She's armed with muffins and ready to give them out.]

I've got a whole plan drawn up!

[yokeye]

[He accepts the muffin gratefully; he's kind of missed out on the baked goods as of late.]

That's great~! Everything is set up really nice here! But! I do have one question...

[He gestures to the frog cutout with his muffin.]

What's with the frog?

[playitagain]

The froggie is super cute! All froggies are super cute, but this one is especially super cute!

[She seems... so happy when she says it?

She beams at Toki, even.]

It seemed like a great mascot.

[yokeye]

Frogs are really cute!

[He can't argue with her logic, or her infectious enthusiasm.]

It's a perfect mascot~! Do they live in banana trees!?

[playitagain]

I'm afraid not... I just did my favorite fruit and my favorite animal.

[She laughs a little, before Nana looks down; her expression is thoughtful for a second.]

I'm glad they're popular! People might think it's weird...

[yokeye]

That's as good a reason as any!

[He finally tries the muffin.]

It's not weird, really! You're showing parts of yourself to your fellow students, like you're just one of them~! A girl who likes bananas and frogs; someone wholesome to place their trust in~!

[playitagain]

Wholesome the way that a banana is!

[She's delighted by the idea. She beams, squeezing her hands together, and then she nods.]

Thanks, Toki. You're the best, if you didn't already know it!

[yokeye]

[He smiles at that, but he doesn't believe her for a second. Because he's voting for Kohaku. Nana is a wonderful person, and her banana baked goods are delicious, but Kohaku's platform was better.

Now he feels kind of guilty for trying to build Nana up with no intention of voting for her. He shoves half the muffin in his mouth before he actually tells her any of these things. That gives him enough time to bow out gracefully, as they say.]

You're the best, Nana~! I'm sure you'll win~!

[He waves and wanders away to the booth to find something else to eat.]

[playitagain]

Ah... thanks, Toki! I appreciate it!

[She smiles and waves after him. Was that a little abrupt?

She isn't sure. It is Toki...]
