Ben- "Yeeeaaah, I think the point of electing a leader is to counteract the fact that people in a group are stupid. Right?"
Ben wasn't surprised that the man received no support, but he kind of had a point. So far there had been few disagreements, because indeed, it had been pretty obvious what to do in most cases. But that would surely change once people got the time to sit around and disagree with each other. Idle hands are the Devil's playthings, and that went for idle minds as well. Sonya- (quietly to Ben) "Ben, no... He's strange man."

He'd almost been nodding off, when the last proposal was read out. Micah broke out laughing, tears springing to his eyes. If the whole situation wasn't so fucking serious, he would have given the man his vote. He wiped a tear from his eye and gave the odd man a thumbs up and a smirk."Best proposal of the lot mate!"
Bryce- "It does address the heretofore neglected issue of the way in which we display our collective vagina. I'm in."

Nat frowned a little at the last proposal, although he kept his thoughts to himself. A few of the proposals seemed good to him, but he wasn't sure which he would vote for in the end - and what if there was still another, more appealing one to come? Nat planned to keep quiet until all of the proposals were voiced. Sarah- "Aw, it's OK, Nat... I think that's the last of it." Sandy- (quietly to Sarah)"I hope we don't have to live with that guy for long..."

Marie- "Well that was great fun everyone. Let's get to the voting. Zoe will pass around slips of paper, please write your name and which prop you're voting for. No discussion please, just give the slips to Zoe."
Susie- "Why do we have to have our names on our votes? That makes me uncomfortable..."
Marie- "We don't want anyone crying voter fraud. Let's do this people."
Marie wrote on the board the prop numbers and a short reminder of what the prop was. PROP 1 - Military style commander PROP 2 - Line in the sand PROP 3 - Rescue & Recovery - help others PROP 4 - Synergy PROP 5 - Zombies on treadmills PROP 6 - Get out of Dodge PROP 7 - Dual leaders PROP 8 - Death has a hard-on PLAYERS! Please PM me your vote!

The good doctor scribbled quickly upon his scrap of paper. His eyes scanned the room and then back toward Marie and the whiteboard. He furiously scribbled again over his paper. The pen began to tap on the corner of Dr. Victor's face. He grumbled and crossed out the last response and stared again at the whiteboard. He flashed Micah a wink and raised his eyebrows twice. One last cross out motion and the good doctor put his final response down before handing it to Zoe and her bucket. His words were calm and slightly hoity. A scales smile slithered on his lips as he spoke.
"Not to be a nay-sayer but I want people to realize those who put forth propositions for leader have all been voted out as a non-vote. It's like zero population growth. This, then, in that respect, is left for a vote by people who have. I desire to become leaders. Just tossing that out there. Unless the arguments made have swayed those with heavy opinions, it truly is left to whoever made the best case in swaying the masses."

Kenny- "Wut?" Thierry- "Perhaps he means to say that some that have proposed leaders that are not themselves have split the vote? Some clarification would be helpful."

Nat took a slip of paper and a pen, staring up at the board for a moment in consideration. He desperately wanted to ask Sarah what she thought, but they had been told not to discuss their vote. Finally, he scribbled his name and a vote on the paper, and passed it back to the little girl. He shied away from the doctor on his way back to Sarah - the man seemed to be gibbering again. "What, um, what do you think?" He murmured the question low to Sarah, after both of their votes had been cast. Sarah stood out on the patio, sipping on a cup of passionfruit juice and looking out at the city. Sarah- "Phew, I hope it all works out... I think these people seem really reasonable though, so I feel hopeful. How about you?"

The doctor nodded towards the shaved head mustachio man. "Sort of. It's more like saying the writer of prop one will cancel out the vote for the writer of prop two and so on and so forth." Thierry- "I see. Haha, though I suppose if they do not vote for themselves, they may regret a loss by one vote!"

After casting his vote for the obvious choice (or so Alex believed), he sought out Chantelle and asked her if she had a piece of birthday cake lying around. "It's for that shy blonde guy, Nat. He's turning 23 tomorrow, and it'd be pretty sad if nobody did anything." Chantelle- "Oh my gosh! That's so sad! You're such a sweet friend. Aww... I'll totally bake him something today, and we can put it in the freezer until tomorrow! Is he vegan or any other diet restrictions? Ooh maybe a carrot cake..."
"Thanks, Miss. I saw him eating animal stuff earlier, so he's not a vegan, that's for sure. Carrot cake will be perfect. Aw, man, carrots are the best food in the world, aren't they?" Alex really did love carrots. Chantelle- "Oh I know! They're so good for you! I once ate so many red peppers and carrots that my palms turned orange, haha. Not even joking! You should talk to Seth when you can, we thought about having a party to get to know each other after we get some work done. Maybe it could double as a birthday party!"

Micah couldn't remember the crux of most of the proposals, except that the first two had been nuts.The last was hilarious but unfortunatley unsound. He raised his eyebrow back at the doctor. He wrote his choice on a piece of paper after studying the whiteboard. He stuck his tongue out at the little girl when he gave her his vote, a gesture she returned with an air of formality, like a salute.He moved to the patio grabbing some orange juice and wandered over to where Alex was chatting to the hipster chef. At least she was in his age group, it was a start. Micah tried not to look hurt when he overheard the conversation. "Party sounds good, is there any booze?" Chantelle- "That's a weird issue... When we were rounding up all the food to sort it into perishables and such, we also gathered all the alcohol together. There's enough to celebrate a little, when we throw a party, I think, but... It could also be used as medicine, so we're trying to figure out how we should ration it. Maybe the doctor has an opinion."

Alex laughed at Micah's booze comment. "If you can find some, sure. C'mon closer." He lowered his voice. "It's gotta be a surprise, okay? Nat's birthday is tomorrow. Maybe we can rustle up some board games, like ... what's it called? Ya Got Me? No, that's not it ... OH. Sorry. Or Monopoly. Hey, Micah, who are you going to room with, after all?"

"It would've been nice if we could have been able to rank each proposal rather than split the votes on similar proposals," Ben said while thinking about how to vote. "That way it would've been easier to vote for a general idea rather than a specific proposal. But I guess it's too late for that now?" Seth- "Yeah I dunno why we didn't just do a raise of hands... *sigh*"

The doctor grinned at Davin. "It's not my place to speculate on such obvious genius and ingenuity." Davin- "That's great, man. Zombies on treadmills. Ha. There was a lot of good thinking in that one. It'll be interesting to keep addressing those challenges and coming up with novel solutions. For example, to what extent do we need electricity now? Fire isn't very efficient as a light source, but it's probably best for us to be sleeping at night anyway...
Hell, I wonder if ghosts can see in the dark. Or zombies. Or how any of that shit is possible at all.
Man, one minute I'm laughing and the next...."

"Ummm, No fucking idea. Why? Who are you bunking with? "Board games though Alex, really? What about we all sit in a fucking ring and sing fucking hymns while we're at it, or bible charades?" Chantelle- "I admit, I've never met an Australian before. Is this what Kylie Minogue talks like when she's off camera?"
"How the fuck would I know? Besides she's pretty much a pom."
