Panel 1: Two people sitting on the floor. Person One says "AMS elections are happening." Person Two says "Already?" Person One says "Yeah, and nobody's gonna pay attention, let alone vote." Person Two says "I know I'm not!"
Panel 2: Person One says: "Yeah, case in point. Drives me nuts. What's it take for people to get interested?" Person Two says "I dunno, it just doesn't have the feeling of a real election."
Panel 3: Person One says "A real election... What could make it feel more like a real election?"
Panel 4: Person One has a lightbulb over his head.
Panel 5: There's a box at the top of the panel that says "One week later." In the panel, Person One stands at a podium in front of a crowd. Behind them, there's a sign that says "Me for AMS president." Person one says to the crowd "Vote for me and I will punish the outgroup!"

The fluorescent lightning and ever-present ambient machinery buzz imbues this spot with the essence of the uncanny, the bizarre, the strange. A perfect place for a Valentine’s confession.
