[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.]

I guess after that we just have to hope that the other teams go with it.

[echomyheart]

Let's do it! I don't see why the other teams wouldn't go for it. No one here wants anyone else to die.

[quackery]

Alright! So how exactly should we word it?

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

Really? [ Ha ha this is kind of a funny plan. ]

Tell them to vote their neighbor or something. It doesn't matter--someone will give in and choose to tank a team.

It just won't be us.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

So cynical.

But if we're all agreed, let's try!

Now, 210 characters, huh....

[Pause.] We may want to add a thing at the end too. A message if someone else suggests this. We don't want to confuse methods.

[quackery]

That makes sense! What did you have in mind?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Hmmmm.....

Do a six way tie. Everyone could live. Vote for team next in ABCs from yours. If other methods suggested for a tie use the one on top of the list.

146 characters!

[quackery]

Okay! Sounds good.

And if this doesn't work... I'm really sorry, everybody.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

Stop apologizing for something you can't help.

[quackery]

[A pause, and then she nods.]

Okay. Sor... I mean, no, never mind.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Smiles and pats her head.]

Never apologize for taking a risk to save others. So long as you don't do it against people's will or anything, but we agreed.

[quackery]

Yeah. I just hope it works... I guess all we can do now is wait and see.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Nods.]

If not...well, we tried.

[quackery]

Yeah. I guess... Trying and getting killed is better than not trying and still getting killed.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Yeah. Feels kinda pointless then.

[quackery]

I wouldn't want to be the kind of person who just lets people die without trying to help, either.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Yeah. Seems like most of us are like that too.

[quackery]

I'm glad I got a team like that.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It may not be so easy sometimes. Some of us can get pretty worked up, which is why we made those rules.

But...they want to try. So be patient and I think we'll turn out pretty awesome.

[quackery]

Yeah. It's good they want to try, at least.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It really is.
