PREFECT CANDIDATE STATEMENTS

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

As a final round to the Prefect Debates, Prefect candidates may now make a four sentence closing statement that expresses why your housemates should vote for you to be their Prefect. The statement is optional. You have until approximately 8:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time on Monday, July 10, 2006 to make your statement. Students and Staff members may ask for clarification in the comments.

As an aid to both candidates and voters, we are providing links to some of the statements made by winning candidates in the previous election:

Ryujji

Kaylee

Sara


((OOC: Obviously, the statement must comply with comm. rules, but otherwise, anything goes!))

Candidate Statement: Methos

[5000yearold.livejournal.com]

Vote for me because I vow to ensure that people will stop taking advantage of Ravenclaw for our free booze! Other than that, I'm old enough to have seen every form of government-good and bad, so I know what works. I'm also willing to help Sara take over the school.

Candidate Statement: Lord Peter Wimsey

In me, you will find a fair, objective Prefect, able to enforce school rules and guidelines without harshness, and also able to listen fairly to all sides of any given dispute. I will work hard with other Prefects to encourage inter-House socialisation and cooperation, as well as Ravenclaw House pride; and will ensure that all new Ravenclaws are welcomed warmly into our fine House. I trust that my fellow House members can comport themselves with maturity and grace appropriate to their years, and will naturally treat them accordingly.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your patience, and I hope I can count on your vote.

Candidate Statement: Fillerbunny

*looks very nervous*

Um.

*looks around, as if perhaps a speech will appear written on the wall for him; none does*

I am not sure how I was nominated, but if I was a Prefect, I would try to be nice to everyone. And I would not make anyone do anything they did not want to, like ride piggies or eat teeth. And, um. I would be nice to the other Prefects.

*wibbles a bit, and, unsure of what to do next, does a little dance*

Thank you!

*ducks down behind podium and wibbles a bit, although he does feel a certain warm glow that may be pride in a job well done.*

Candidate Statement: James Potter

Since I've been here, all I've heard is Emo-Gryffindors. And also Spandex Gryffindors. Whatever happened to 'Merciful Heaven's It's Those Bloody Grynffindors! Hide the virgins! And the Quidditch Cup?!

No really, whatever happened to controlled mayhem and a little mischief and the occasional outbreak of cheering charms?

I don't think it's too much to ask, with everything that'd going on, to have someone with a sense of fun as well as a sense of what's proper.

Besides, it can't hurt to have someone good at magical dueling, keeping an eye on things with Voldie Lord Muckamuck running around. Who knows, being able to take 10 points off his house could come in handy.

Oh and if you're brave, if you've anymore doubts, you can ask my best mates; starting with Sirius Black and working your way outwards towards Remus Lupin.

Candidate Statement: Oz

[ringoate-mybaby.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Oz. I promise, if made Prefect, I won't suck.

*Takes a deep breath and grinds out* Vote for me, and I'll see that you receive custom-made graphics... Wow, that was weak; and almost painful- ow. *Winces*

*He considers something, and finally adds* You know what, just ask and I'll make you some graphics, too; but they won't be as nice as the other ones, they'll be months late, and will probably only tangibly be related to your request... mostly since it'll be me making them.

Candidate Statement: Jack Harkness.

I'll streak through the Great Hall at dinner, if I make prefect. Er, if that's not really suitable, I would like to start a campaign to make Gryffindor less emo, hold some all night parties and generally be availiable for people to come talk to. I think I can be a welcoming, easy going sort of guy. It would be a relaxed friendly place to be. Interhouse relations would be as important as intrahouse ones.

[materia-shinobi.livejournal.com]

Ummm.. Vote for me because I'm awesome! And because my ninja training can bring a lot to Slytherin or something like that. And I'd make sure the Slytherins actually get to do some partying, since it seems like Ravenclaws have all the fun. I mean, we're the ones who bartend in the dark!

So if you vote for me, I will make Slytherin a really awesome-fun place and totally work on getting our own bar! In the dark, too!

If I was prefect... Hmm, If I was prefect, my first concern would be making sure the students were safe from any... Unsavory personalities around the school.

Once that was taken care of, I'd push for better beer in the bar. Also, I'd like to have an in-house library, if possible.

Anyway, I've got plenty of time to dedicate to being prefect and I'm pretty responsible and not evil, so vote for me.

Candidate Statement: The Doctor

[ninth-doctor.livejournal.com]

Obviously a Prefect needs to be someone competent in just about everything, has good relations with most of the ladies people, and is handy in an emergency. Of course, I'm not saying you need to be brilliant to be a Prefect, but it certainly doesn't hurt anything. I'd be around for, oh, anything you can think of unless Jack's thinking it, in which case, no--help with classes, emotional support, problems with other students; I'm an approachable guy with knowledge about the universe and, if nothing else (as if there's ever a slow day here, though), I can tell a good story and dance. Helping people out and making it a better place to be is what I'm all about.

[shark-swordsman.livejournal.com]

As prefect, I will be fair, polite, and approachable to all my fellow Slytherins. I will listen to all points of view, without prejudice.

As a high-ranking ninja, I am strong, possess many skills, and am good at taking responsibility. I suppose that should suffice, so thank you for your consideration.

Hufflepuff candidate statement: John Dorian (JD)

[jd-octor.livejournal.com]

JD looked around nervously. "Well, firstly, I really want to make Hufflepuff a much more interesting house, because apart from our hardworking and amazing students, we haven't got anything that draws students to us, like Ravenclaw's free bar." he smiled sheepishly. "You have my word that I won't let anyone bully other students around, which has been going on quite a lot recently. I will be fair to everyone, I won't judge or be biased, so you can all come to me with any concerns." he adjusted his weight slightly. "I believe that Hufflepuff should improve their inter and intra house relations, so I shall organize events so that we can all meet new people and make friends in fun environments!"

Ravenclaw candidate statement: Abby Sciuto (catAbby)

[cafpowgirl.livejournal.com]

She sat there, large expressive eyes looking around. "Meow. Meow meow mrr. Mrrrow meow meow meow. Purrr.

((For those of you who can speak cat, or perhaps hold one of Prof. Colbert's Babel fish, Abby said:

I would be a good choice for Prefect, because I love meeting new people and getting involved with things. You don't have to worry about me abusing my power either. Even if I am not chosen as Prefect, I still hope to continue to help make Ravenclaw the best house it can be. Thank you very much. ))

*you can almost SEE the What Would O-Ren Do? thought-bubble above her head*

*draws herself up*

I believe that inter-house relations are very important. In my time here I've already organized events for people in all sorts of houses, like my birthday party. And I have other ideas, too. When I was with the Yakuza I watched them arrange all sorts of social events so I know I'd be good at it. I helped Ichimaru-san arrange his Benevolent Welcoming Committee too, but he doesn't seem to be around any more.

Also, I wouldn't let people say awful things about just our house any more - each house has lots of different kinds of people. And I'll listen to all sorts of opinions.

*wonders if this is the point at which she's supposed to cut off someone's head*

*decides to skip that part*

Thank you! ^_^

((Apologies, but the "What would O-Ren do?" made my brain do evil things, and so...

"As Hufflepuff Prefect, I encourage you from time to time, and always in a respectful manner, to discuss the behaviour of the members of my House with me. If you believe some of them would benefit from additional guidance and discipline, tell me so, but please hear me out as well, and I promise you right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo. Except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up the supposed psychopathology of the members of Hufflepuff House is... I collect your fucking head. Just like this fucker here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now's the fucking time!"))
