The good doctor gave Alex a sideways glance and nodded slowly. "Remind me to tell you the story of the term Apache one night, Alex." Dr. Victor let out a guffaw at Marie's latest proposal. "I swear, I did NOT put that proposal forward. But, if the person would show themselves, I'd give them a hug. Or slap them. Or both."

Kaito- "I like this one... I think it proposes a secretary rather than a president, and that seems good."
Sandy- "I disagree with that, but whoever wrote this... I think she'd be a good secretary for the president."
Kenny- "At least the zombies on treadmills thing is hella funny."
Bryce- "True that. I wonder who wrote this one?"

Marie- "Thank you Prop 5 writer. Now, Prop 6.
"If we want to survive this insanity, we need to stick together, carry our own weight, and help each other out. If we're all running around, doing our own things, then nobody is watching anyone else's back. That needs to stop. I know a lot of us don't take well to authority, but anarchy is weakness when you have a strong adversary. This is not a time to be alone. We all need to respect each other's boundaries and positions, even if we don't agree with them.
I'm certainly not advocating autocratic rule, in fact, if I had the misfortune of being elected I would form a committee of qualified advisors to help form the best ideas that optimally meet the needs of the community.
As for long term plans, I honestly believe that staying here is a very bad idea. Food and water will only last so long and there's no telling how quickly this city will become overrun. We're approaching the driest part of the year here and we only have so much rooftop to gather water from.No, long term, we need to think strongly about getting as far from major cities as possible. We need to appropriate supplies that are vital to survival and get out of Dodge.
In the meantime, I would agree with staying here for a few days, maybe even a week or two, but we need to NOT get comfortable. This building should only be a temporary position to gather our strength and prepare for a potentially long trip.
While we're here, we need to fortify the lobby as much as possible, secure the windows and roof as best we can, and set up a rotating guard shift. We should keep ourselves on one or two floors, tops, so we can quickly warn everyone in case of an emergency. Further details can be discussed at a later time."
This person expresses a lack of desire to win, so I will be curious what will happen if he or she does. How intriguing.
Comments?"

Thierry- "This is good because while this person is clearly in the grip of mortal panic, it reminds us to take the threat seriously. Actually, I suspect this is from one of our new arrivals, because we went through some of the specifics - food water and so on - and figured that we can indeed stay here for a long time if necessary. Further, we determined that any trek out of the city now would certainly cost more lives than staying. I dearly hope my friend Sharma reconsiders, but I can understand wanting to reach your family in a time like this. Well, that is my thought on the matter."
Davin- "Who is this 'we' that determined all that, sir?"
Thierry- "Chantelle, Marie, Seth, Stevie, and myself... Our combination of knowledge in disparate fields allowed us to determine that we can provide water and basic nourishment, though unappetizing, to far more people than we currently have. Further, by gradually annexing nearby buildings, we can get even more resources, and that the zombie population will certainly dwindle dramatically with time. You can look at the notes yourself, though they're a bit rough at present. We'll formalize the report and put it on the wall in a little while."
Bryce- "Wow. You cats have been busy."

Seth- "Some ideas I like out of this are that we should stick together, and that we should consider how long we want to stay. I think we should stay until we have this place as secure as it can be, so people can use this as a fort-- We don't know when help will arrive, or if it ever is going to arrive. However, we should plan on moving in the future, when it is safe. Who knows how long that will be though. It will be good to secure nearby buildings as soon as we can, in case we ever do need to evacuate."

Marie- "Returning for the moment to the proposal, if we can, does anyone want to promote it or critique it?"
Davin- "With respect, I don't think your 'dwindling zombies' scenario accounts for the source of the bastards - there are other things out there killing people, and any security plan needs to account for that. As far as I know, there is no way to defeat a ghost. All you can do is run. What happens when those get in here? I'm not ready to run, but it might be a good idea at the end of it all."
Thierry- "A vote in favor?"
Davin- "Maybe. I'm thinking about it."

"Uh, about those other things ... you guys said you defeated a possessed person. How? When we met one of those, she flung me and Dr. Victor across the room like we weighed nothing. And that was after freezing us." He glanced down. Should he tell them about the voices he heard, and how close he'd been to giving in and maybe becoming possessed himself? It might be important, but he didn't want to be locked up and treated like a threat. "Whoever we choose, I want to talk to the president about something, later."

Seth- "Yeah, we can tell you more later. It took several of us, but we were able to interrogate it a little bit. It pretended to be a normal woman for a while, but it went crazy and we... well... yeah, more later."

Marie- "Sounds like we're done with that one. Thank you Prop 6 writer. Now, Prop 7.
"I believe we will be best served not by a single leader. The chances of corruption would be too great, even in the best of circumstances and strongest of characters; favoritism would be a greater burden in this climate. If two persons of relative sound mind and disposition would take the reigns, things could be just as solid as if with one leader. As long as the group as a whole is maintained a priority, there will be little room for debate in terms of actions.
If two people stepped up, it would be best. Prioritizing actions would be able to be bounced off another individual; rational thinking would prevail. People would be able to feel more secure with having two options to air their grievances or bring issues to. This proposal is not written by a person who desires to become a leader. As such, it is left open, and I will not name the names of the two prospective leaders; but this proposal does have specific people in mind; one male and one female.
Charismatic and driven with a good head. Cool under pressure, controlled, and healthy.
Please make this sound better than it is."
Oh. I don't think I was supposed to-- Sorry. Anyway, comments?"

Abdul- "Again with the proposals from those not seeking leadership. This vote will be more complicated than code spaghetti and accomplish nothing."
Stevie- "Fu-fff... Fudge it, it's what we got."
Zoe- "Thank you!"
Marie- "Comments? Anyone like to promote this one?"
Bryce- "Are there really demons and zombies and stuff out there?"
Susie- "Better believe it, sleeping beauty!"
Bryce- "Damn that's weird. Hey, they should get a vote."
Chantelle- "Less balance for you next time, young man."
Ione- "Well since everyone thought mine was a laugh riot, I'll demonstrate my rhetorical skills promoting this one. I think it's the first to propose a streamlined compromise between dictatorship and anarchy, and the person who wrote it is obviously very smart, and based on that I think their appointments to those leadership positions will be well-considered and worthy."
Thierry- "Well said, but I believe the truth is that it doesn't clearly differentiate where the power of this oligarchy ends and the ability of the disempowered to 'air grievances' or have freedom begins."

"Having more than one leader sounds like a good idea to me," Ben said. "Unless those leaders have strong opinions on how to run things, and are unwilling to compromise when their opinions pull them in different directions." Thierry- "Another good point about that one, thank you."

Marie- "Ahem! Thank you writer of Prop 7, let's move on to our final proposal, Prop 8. Ah good, this one seems short.
"No more shit like this. Everyone does the thing that makes sense. It is always obvious. This is stupid. People in a group are stupid. You are stupid.
Listen to me! Death is a rotten gray man with a hard-on for you. I say, don't show him our pussy.
Thank you."
...Comments? Concerns?"

Columbo- "This guy sounds like a sharpshooter! He cuts right through the sheet, amirite? Yeah..." He nods to the crowd, who stare at him blankly.
