    FlashBrighton: Planning Meeting

    Hove, United Kingdom

    It was a cold night in Preston Park, but nothing would dampen the spirits of the multitude that had travelled to be there. Anticipation was high as the cry of 'LEE DE LISLE, LEE DE LISLE' ran through the crowd. Backstage Vice President-elect Joe Summers nudged her running mate in the back, whispering 'Come on Seb, get out there and give them what they want.' Straighting his tie in the mirror, Sebastian smiled back at Joe's reflection, turned, and advanced onto the platform.
