[soulping]

[The room you’ve been ushered into looks a lot like a team-colored version Rotten’s own. There’s all sorts of manga available to read in a bookshelf, on the wall, and even a low table to sit at if you want to. ...Unfortunately, it’s still all covered by a tarp, just the same as the original room. Whoops. On the bright side, there’s a laptop sitting on the table, but it only seems to be loading one page, some kind of BBS messaging system.]

RULES

[fangirlitis]

[A TV monitor comes down from the roof, with The Rotten on it, waving excitedly from behind a writing desk.]

Okay guys, so here’s the deal. I need you all to model for me. [To the side of the TV, VP-tan waves her hands to catch your attention, then holds a sign up in front of her. ‘Um… ‘Model’ is a bit of a misleading term...’]

Basically, I think there’s a market around here for Guro. [She drops the sign, and another is behind it. ‘That means drawing dead and mutilated people in sexy ways.’]

So, what we’re going to do is have a contest to see who should model for me. [‘You don’t want to do that. You’ll die.’]

I’ve gone ahead and split you up, so that you can definitely tell the truth. I know looks are important to a lot of you, and if someone calls you bad-looking to your face, feelings might get hurt! I don’t want to make you guys hurt each other or anything. Anyone who someone thinks is ugly doesn’t get to model. Sorry! [‘Well… unless you’re into that. I don’t kink shame.’]

So, after a brief statement about why your team should totally be considered the hot ones, all of you teams are going to tell me which of you is the least hot. One vote per team, and you can’t vote for yourself. Well, obviously. I mean who’d want to call themselves ugly?[‘But anyways, basically you get to protect one team from dying by saying they’re not hot.’]

After our selection process is over and we find out who’s hot enough to model, VP-tan will be taking care of the preparation. She’s really good at cooking, so I’m sure that’ll carry over into this too♥ [‘Um… I normally don’t like hurting people. I mean, I’m really usually wishing to be on the other end. But then, I guess being forced to do something like this… Ah, I’m such a dirty girl♥ Sorry… it’s not like I love it, but Madam President said so and I can’t resist, right? But I promise not to enjoy it… Please don’t punish me later♥’]

Anyways, we’re going to have an appeals round, and then a vote-out round, and I guess after that, whoever’s decided as not pretty enough to model can leave. I’ll make sure to take care of cleanup for my valuable helpers. [‘Oh! What am I talking about?! Where was I..? Oh! Yes. Prizes! You want to try not dying. That is what the prizes are for. Not dying!’]

Anyways, thanks a ton for your help! [‘...Can you please just forget all about my rambling before? I appreciate it. ^_^;;;’]

THE RULES: OOC Rotten to English Translation

[fangirlitis]

This game will be done in two parts. The first part, due by 7:30 PM CST, is to create a message on the BBS about why your team shouldn’t die. This message can be anything you like, up to and including saying ‘No seriously we want to die let us die.’ The only rule is that it be no more than 210 characters in length, because bizarro echo Plurk has its limits. The messages will all be compiled and posted publicly, and the team names will be attached to the messages.

For the second part, due at 9 PM CST, every team gets to pick one team that isn’t themselves to protect!! Teams that aren’t protected get guro’d. Winners will be chosen from the survivors!

YELL AT VP-TAN (Questions)

[fangirlitis]

[As the TV slides back up, VP-tan bows.]

Anyways… I’m supposed to answer any other questions you have as well. Feel free to ask..!

[gandere]

Hey. [ Waving at the TV. ]

You're going to tell us who calls us ugly, aren't you? I mean if we're not going to be shown off, we should know who is responsible for it.

[fangirlitis]

[THE TV DOESN'T RESPOND, BECAUSE IT IS AN INANIMATE OBJECT.]

[VP-tan does, though.]

She wanted to keep anyone from hurting each other's feelings, so she won't reveal who it is that said who was ugly...

I'm sorry.

Re: YELL AT VP-TAN (Questions)

[grandstanding]

You. Can I use the message to call another team ugly and that we'll vote them out?

Re: YELL AT VP-TAN (Questions)

[fangirlitis]

There are no limits on the message content or symbols, only that it is 210 characters or less!

[A short bow.]

DISCUSSION

[soulping]

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

[well then.]

[gandere]

[ Staring at everyone. ]

... Well I'm not ugly!

Re: DISCUSSION

[wingtamer]

. . . . Eh!?

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

I think we're in trouble, guys....

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

There are a few parts to this. Some we can control. Some, we're at the mercy of everyone else.

[SOMEONE'S just going into business mode]

MESSAGE TURN IN

[soulping]

[You only get one message… When you’ve decided what it is, go on and place it in here! Remember that you’re limited to 210 characters--when in doubt see if it’ll fit on Plurk.]

Re: MESSAGE TURN IN

[grandstanding]

[From Star's mouth, honestly"]

"Guys let's try to save everyone, vote for the team after yours in the alphabet. Epona's voting for the omelettes."

Re: MESSAGE TURN IN

[fangirlitis]

[YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED.]

[LOADING... LOADING...]

VOTING

[fangirlitis]

[Suddenly a variety of messages load on your screen!]

[As they do, a poll appears on the computer right next to it, with all the team names.]

When you've chosen who to protect, just enter it there..! You only have a limited time, so please do your best!

Re: VOTING

[grandstanding]

Ometotchtli.

DISCUSSION 2.0

[grandstanding]

...I didn't consider that others would have the same idea.

Re: DISCUSSION 2.0

[acemedium]

[aaaahhh, actually smiles]

Maybe we can win this one after all!

Re: DISCUSSION 2.0

[grandstanding]

Maybe... the problem is conflicting options.

[gandere]

Of course they'd have the same idea. It isn't as if this is a difficult game to beat.

[ She was just no longer of valuable input and decided to be a brat. ]

Problem is will everyone follow Takshaka's lead?

[dirtdevil]

There has to be a catch. That was way too easy.

Re: DISCUSSION 2.0

[wingtamer]

. . . we did say we'd protect Ometotchtli.

RESULTS

[fangirlitis]

[There’s an incredibly, incredibly awkward pause as voting comes to a close. There’s no TV, no announcements of results, no nothing. VP-tan looks over at the door, puzzled.] Eh?

...Heeeeeh?!

[Sorry, whatever was about to happen has been interrupted by VP-tan bolting out through the door. On the plus side, the door’s open now and you’re free to go!]
