The Anything RPG

The Vote

Vertia

I can see from from Midnight Charm's ( the girl who asked who wants to be leader ) face that she is fed up with choosing and wants to be a leader HERSELF, so I suck in my teeth and announce: "How about you and me be leader, midnight?"

Midnight

A sudden burst of joy bursts through me at this.
But then....
"It isnt fair on the others, they need to vote."
There. is that fair?I say to myself

Violet

Seeing there might be an argument, I step in.
"OK, in my primary school we used to have pairs of people voted for." I suggest in a burst of inspiration. Everyone looks at me. "Oh wow I just remembered something about myself!" I realise happily. But then it's gone. My past, my life, my everything- gone. "It's gone now." I say, gloomily.

Vertia

"OK, let's vote!" I say happily!

Midnight

"Yeah, that fine with me!So everyone needs to vote on either a pair or one person, we will then add up all the votes and the pair/person with the highest score gets to be leader.Is everyone good?"
They all nod their heads, and they all look relatively happy.
'OK, 3,2,1...VOTE!'

I take a minute to decide.I think both would make brilliant leaders, Violet seems so independent, yet Vertia is slightly older, and looks like a good leader....
But even if I take a while to choose,I'm still the first to vote.

"I vote for Violet-No, Vertia-No Violet.Yes.Violet." I stammer.
I look apoligeticaly at Vertia, but she seems mostly ok.
But she seems like a person who would be able to hide her feelings well....
So I really don't know.

Vertia

My heart skips a beat. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

In vain.

They choose Violet.

Obviously they don't want some sad mopy loser to lead them, even if the sad mopy loser happens to have more courage in her pinky finger than everyone else has in their own body.

" Fine THEN," I say as calmly as I can. " Suit yourself." And I march off.

Violet

When I am picked I am so HAPPY! I almost burst with joy. However, I notice that Vertia is extremely unhappy. I get out my wand and, muttering something that I'm not really sure of, make a rather large hole in the whiteness. Behind it it is black. I mutter something else and cause the hole to fill with water. Vertia looks delighted and climbs in. Her legs blend into each other and create a tail.

Vertia

"Do you like my tail?" I show off happily. My tail is beautiful. It is the only thing I am proud of about me. It is a soft dark green to match my eyes, fading into an aqua marine blue, fading to a soft snowy white. I flick it around happily, and the others stars, fascinated.

"I'd give two pins to have a tail like you, Vertia," mumbles the ancient child. I feel terribly uncomfortable.

" Come on then, TAC boy, take a ride, " I sigh, gesturing to my tail.

" But my clothes will get awfully wet!" He says in shock.

" Don't be daft," I laugh. " the fairies will sort you out. As always." I add, shooting the flimsy fairies a dirty look. So he climbs onto my back, and we rude through the waters, TAC squealing delightedly. I figured it had been a long time since he last smiled. Before I knew it, everyone was taking rides like I was some Zoo Dolphin. but it was fun, even so. It had been a longtime since I last had fun.

I spin around, noticing Midnight hasn't had a turn yet. She's sitting by the huge pool, fiddling with her hair.

"What was that?" I say, astonished.

Midnight

"I'm just, kinda, you know, disappointed,. I thought, you know, they would... Uh.... Maybe choose me? Being the first to wake up and, uh, well I thought.... I was a natural leader.and um... I'm obviously not...... So....."
I twitch uncomfortably, I have been doing the whole time. I hate my self. I'm sulking, and is today chose Violet, then she is the best to lead the team.
"I don't... Like.... I.... Don't like following.... "I stammer, and turn my back on vertia.
I really hate myself. Think of the team, I think. But I am vain, I know....
