She frowns a bit, though.

Piper raises a hand. "As the biggest dissenter, and the one with the most hoof in mouth disease today, I'll step up to say that I support the idea of a vice holder in a support role. I still am against term limits, but also think that there should be a clear path for someone else to step up if they think there needs to be a change."

Looking to Margalita, "Let's not go LOOKING for trouble. Ets' doesn't have a hoof in the grave just yet."

"Also, can we call it something else? Vice Holder sounds super political, and... ugh. Let's workshop it."

"Consort?" RIkki smirks

Piper snorts, almost laughing aloud.

"I think my boyfriend might have an issue with that."

"Seneschal? Might be too noble..."

"Ha" Etsi says "I'm not dead yet, We'll workshop the title. "

"Way too noble."

"Torch bearer" Jonas says quietly

"Too Imbolc-y?"

"I bear a torch for you, m'love."

"How about...band manager?"

"But as I told me mums, that doesn't mean I have Blue Fever for ALL trolls.."

"Ember?" Then - oh dear, what made Dagmar go purple?

Piper taps her chin thoughtfully. "...Wingman?"

Jonas blushes lightly

"Too gendered, but I like it."

"Winger.. not the best band, but good for boys and girls" Etsie says "And it's casual"

"...Councilor, proxy, backup, Number two QUIET RIKKI, understudy..." Now she's just flipping through a Thesaurus on her phone.

A blink. "Understudy?"

"Like, they're not PLANNING on taking the role, but if they need to, they can step up?"

"Or, hell. Just let whoever it is pick THEIR title. " She shrugs with a grin. "What works for the Goose might not work for the Gander."

Sylvi blinks. "I'm okay with understudy."

She grins, clearly liking the idea of the chaos of a new title for whoever wants the role.

To Etsi, "Hey, even if Seventeen was kinda pedo-creepy, the rythym was still banger."

"I'm not sure about a new name each time."

"Was" Etsi says "mmm"

"Well, if you're going to share power, then you gotta share decision making. " A shrug and a small smile.

"Maybe something musical" Linwood offers from a clear further back spot "Harmonizer? or Minor Key?"

"Back-up!"

"Like, back-up singers!"

A blink.

"Hm."

Slow nod.

"Etsi? That work for you? I mean, you're always lead with the music, but with the Freehold...can you play Back-Up?"

"HA, why not. Sure, I'm your Back Up. I'd suggest Roadie but I'm too old to lift heavy stuff"

"Also, it's not like the Freehold is going anywhere."

"OKAY.. let's get this done, I got to go in like 20 minutes" Dirk says looking around "We got a back up , literal like, so Sylvi don't feel like she's shaming us just because she's at collage nad her trollitis don't make her get crowsfeet to fast. All that's needed is approval. Anyone HATE Etsi for the role of Back up as defined?"

Rikki opens her mouth then closes it, thinks it over "I still think you're missing out on Rikkitopia chances, but I can't say I hate that old time rock and roll"

Sylvi blinks at Dirk-the-Parliamentarian, then looks around the crowd.

And that seems to be an okay

No hands for hate go up

Dirk says "Then hands up for those who want to vote em in quick and dirty and done. Who supports the idea and the nom?"

Jordan holds up a hand, then others follow

Many satyrs in fact.

Sylvi looks around, seeming surprised at how quickly these last steps are moving.

Others join in, and it looks like..

"That's at least half" Dirk says "Unless this a two thirds thing" He looks at Sylvi "is it?"

"Uhhhh..." A shrug. "No?"
