It's a good thing Kup took care of the spelling of Grimlock's name. Synapse's own startled response might have taken some time. Because before being able to process the question, the flier has to first process that fact that he's being asked one. He's still a bit preoccupied with Grimlock's huge frame filling most of his primary vision.
Skybast's rather, well, artful and jaunty vote is alerted to Synapse through his node. His exit is a bit more noticable, leaving Synapse shivering with the vibrations. Now Omega Supreme's bid to vote. That's quite something to see. Synapse moves slightly as if trying to accommodate and adjust to the other's huge presence. In doing so he catches the tail end of Firebolt's question to Xaaron. A hug? His lips compress into a slight frown. The thought of that close a proximity to anyone...another shudder passes through his frame.
Friendly? Friendly is good. Just keep it from being too friendly. "Late?" says Synapse, looking up owlishly. Well, what's left of the line? Not too many... "Better late than never, I would guess."

At Kup's answer, Grimlock starts scrawling in shaky handwriting 'Me, Grimlock' on the ballot, and folds it slightly before plunking it into the box, and laying the stylus down on a handy nearby non-specific flat surface. Grimlock then moves off to the side, waiting around. Wheelie should come by sometime soon to vote, he hopes.

Airazor quietly flies in, transforming and landing in line behind First Aid. She watches what the others are doing to figure out what she'll need to do when it's her turn.

Swerve manages, somehow, not to look as impatient as he feels at the various antics going on around him. Why can't these Autobots just vote and be done with it?
He stiffens visibly as Slingshot approaches, half-expecting the flier to try something. Okay, so he fully expects the flier to try something. Swerve hasn't been forming the highest opinion of the flying sort since his arrival. But Slingshot asks something instead.
"What d'you care?" Swerve replies sourly. He glances into the box all the same, momentarily curious himself as to the results so far. Some chits are folded, others aren't; Skyblast's vote is fairly impossible to miss. The rest are fairly nondescript. He sees more scribbles that might be 'Xaaron' than he sees scribbles that might be 'Kup'. He flicks his gaze to Slingshot, back at the ballot box while Grimlock is near, then again to the Harrier. "Looks like the shiny one." His disgruntled expression would be the same if it was the truck.

The smile Holi turns on Omega Supreme when the massive Autobot hunkers down to offer his greeting is a sheepish and apologetic one, but he's sincere as ever in his pleasure at Omega's acknowledgement. His cheerful little wave may be missed, however, as the Guardian turns away once more. Hum. Maybe Holi can stop by where-ever the larger Autobot resettles himself and say hello later. That sounds like a fine plan.
"Yes, sir," he answers First Aid brightly, if belatedly, before he takes up the half-sheet and stylus, tearing off a bit for himself. He offers the unused portion to whoever would like it (or sets it down if there are no takers) before scribing in a careful, neat hand 'Emirate Xaaron'. The stylus goes where-ever the rest of the half-sheet went and Holi goes up to the box, slip in hand.
He isn't nervous. Yet. Well, maybe a little.
"Hello, Synapse, sir!" he chirps to the scout, then turns to the racer. "Hello, Swerve, sir!" And if Holi's smile seems a bit anxious as he deposits his vote slip, it's because he's worried about this whole candidacy affair. Nevertheless, he'll do the responsible thing even if he'd rather be talking to Omega.
Holi puts forth his best effort not to look uneasy as he noticeably slowly makes his way toward Firebolt and Emirate Xaaron.

Emirate Xaaron is quietly boggling. He looks like Kup? He's only shorter, gold and silver, lacking a windshield, missing an Autobot symbol, stitched over at the mouth, and styled completely differently! His face twitches at the suggestion that he needs a hug, and he suggests obliquely, "If I hugged you, I'd have to hug everyone who wanted a hug from me, to be fair."
Emirate Xaaron is a lying devil. He totally hugged Optimus Prime and left out poor Outback, but the machine who could call him on that isn't here.

First Aid cheerfully accepts the stylus and sheet from Holi and pulls off a slip of metal.
He pauses to consider before he writes anything, this is the last chance to change his reasoning, and he wants to check it one more time. Yep, he still thinks giving command to someone who doesn’t want it and is actively attempting to give it to someone else is a bad idea. He also still isn’t entirely comfortable voting for someone he doesn’t really know, but it makes him less nervous than the alternative. And so ‘Emirate Xaaron’ goes down on his slip, he hands the sheet and stylus off to whoever needs them next (or carefully sets them down), and offers polite, friendly nods to Synapse and Swerve as he drops his carefully folded strip into the ballot box. “Thank you,” he says to them both.
And now, back to work unless someone stops him! A workaholic’s siren song calls.

Well, all old, grumpy people look the same sometimes.
"Uh, you really think he wants to hug you?" Firebolt says, jerking her head in Swerve's direction. "He doesn't do hugs... Meh, fine. Be a poo about not getting hugs," she sighs before scooping up a stylus from wherever it was and then scribbling down "Xaaron so he can get hugs" on the metal and then dumping it in the box.
"Aloha oi, lil kahunas, I'm out," Firebolt states as she transforms down to her vehicle form to blast off because it's awesome and fun to race everywhere.

If Slingshot had Swerve's job, he'd expect him to try something to. Sadly, Slingshot doesn't have anything to try or any reason to try anything, thanks to Swerve's answer.
"Good," the jet declares, glancing at Xaaron. Unfortunately, that tunes him in to Firebolt's latest antics.
"... Junkions are all crazy," he mutters as she leaves, then stalks off in the opposite direction. He needs to find Skyblast and hit the blue.

But what about Jazz? Doesn't he need hugs too? ... not really. And it might be kinda dangerous to hug him. You know. With the sharpened edges and all. "Guess I am." Just a little late, Jazz. but hey. That means the stylus and such are free! "Hey there." wandering by Swerve. Smiling at Synapse-- and very careful to try not to startle him again. If nothing interferes, the lovely scrawl of an administrative wizard will read 'Xaaron' before it hits the bottom of the box. He may have an ego, but not quite that big.

My, what a number of greetings! He returns them all with a soft 'hello' and a nod. Synapse is still getting used to the whole 'being noticed' thing. Then again, blending in when one is practically playing Vanna White to the ballot box isn't quite probable. So no, Synapse isn't startled, he's more nervously surprised if there's much of a difference. The friendly smiles that accompany said greetings do help.
...There been other people that have requested hugs from Xaaron? Synapse decides not to even attempt to wrap his mind around such an approach.

Airazor gives Synapse a smile and a nod in greeting, then carefully rips off a piece of the sheet. She sets aside the rest of the sheet and grabs a free stylus.
Unfortunately for her, the "vote for the person you know" style doesn't really work in her case! Thus, she has to work on merit alone. She writes Xaaron's name on her ballot then sets the stylus with the rest of the sheet (if no one's taken it by this point). She grabs her ballot and flies it up to the box, putting it in. Then she's off to continuing what she was doing.

And here's Arcee pulling up the polls, transforming quickly back to robot mode. "Not too late, am I?"
Of course, she casts her vote for Kup.

And heeeeere's Nightbeat. He doesn't see much point to his own voting, having been keeping mental track of who everyone was likely to have voted for.
Still, his vote cast is for Xaaron.

Bitty Autobot in the polls!
Wheelie, however, looks rather confused. "Wheelie does not know how to make his mark! How does he say he wants Holi for the leader part?"
