[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.]

Eveningstar. This is not going to be about looks for everyone. This is going to be about saving themselves from getting killed.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

[then we still might be screwed, she doesn't say!!]

How do you know that? They still might vote based on looks...

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

Because no one wants to die, and the Rotten's made it clear that's going to happen. We're wasting time discussing this.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

[fine she'll get serious]

...We just have to send a message and then pick a team to call ugly, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

Yes, and whichever team we pick will be voted out. Anyone who stays in gets killed.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

One team isn't enough...

..I'm worried about Omelette, though...

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

[hisses a breath, remembering something]

Miles asked me if we'd consider an alliance with Ometotchtli. I haven't brought it up yet because I wanted to sort out our patron first.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

Alliance?

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

To help each other in games like this, because we get hit a lot. What he was saying was not to attack each other, but it could extend to protection, surely.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

We've never attacked anyone to begin with. [even though omelettes bussed us last game, OOPS]

Pound and I were working together, but... [she looks conflicted]

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

We're not. We're choosing someone to save.

I didn't see Miles... I don't know if he's here. But I have no one else I want to protect besides him, anyway.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

I didn't see Pound, but the sweaty guy is there.. he's already died twice. Plus, he's my friend.

But I'm worried about Takshaka and Barghest, too... It's not fair just to pick one team.

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

We don't get a choice. We have one vote. And I'd rather use it on a team who's as unfortunate as we are.

[also his not-boyfriend]

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

....Yeah, I don't want him to die again.

People will probably want to save Takshaka. [but Barghest, she doesn't knoowwww]

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

[he doesn't know any Barghests, so unfortunately, his sympathies are in the negatives]

First, we need to work out a message. Then we'll deal with the votes.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

[she makes up for it by being concerned with the 2/3 teams that threw them under the bus last game :')]

Y-Yeah...

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

"Stop killing us" will probably just provoke some teams to do it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

...If every team calls a different team ugly, then we could all survive...

Re: DISCUSSION

[grandstanding]

The problem with that is ensuring everyone covers someone else. We have no way of knowing if...

[wait, trails off]

We could say who we'll vote for in our message.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

[nods]

And if we tell all the other teams to vote for the next team over, too....

[gandere]

[ Can't hold it in anymore: ]

Saving Takshaka is pointless. They're always getting themselves killed--I bet their message will be something akin to 'just vote for us'!

[acemedium]

Um, but they only died once, and that was because of Amalthea....

[gandere]

They are still always sacrificing themselves. Haven't you listened to them?

[acemedium]

That's because they want to protect the other teams. We owe them a lot....

[gandere]

Just because we owe them a lot doesn't mean we need to pay up. They also win a lot of games.
