newlydead r2 - day 8 - 6 999s and 3 ushiromiyas

[jinglebros]

[ It's the morning after the Battle of the Bands and time for another meeting. Breakfast is a thing this time as well. Santa's tried to make something pretty decent but it's hard when all you have is shit from fast food places. Still, if you know your hacks, McCrepes are totally possible. So, there's a bunch of those on the conference table this time, accompanied by coffee. ]

Let's do this shit, huh? No squabbling this time, we did enough of that the last go around.

CRACK CONTAINER

[jinglebros]

[ Santa still has all that band stuff in his hair. He's also pretty damn tired - someone has spent the last two nights away from the scifi set and keeps coming back like this. Wonder what's up with that? ]

I know this food looks like demons shit it out, but I promise it tastes good. Taste it, okay?

[keybroad]

[Tasting it, getting very into it.]

Oh my god. I never thought I'd say this, but Make me breakfast in bed next mother's day. I mean, if you're not busy.

[jinglebros]

[ Santa yawns and then rolls his eyes to try to cover up that little mistake his body made. ]

Sure, if you pay me after, but I charge steep.

[keybroad]

[Putting serious thought into this]

It's not like I have money here, so this would be after we get back. Would I have to cover bus fare.

[meatitfeedson]

How do you have so many talents?

[jinglebros]

What, taking a bunch of shit and putting it on a plate is a talent?

[ He's pleased she likes it. ]

[meatitfeedson]

It is when you have to figure out what to do with random ingredients!

IMPORTANT NON-VOTING BUSINESS

[jinglebros]

So, you know. What are we going to do about these hotel passes?

[bookmarking]

McD ain't gonna hand those over on a silver platter, I bet he wants a high price for 'em.

Like, y'know, death.

[jinglebros]

Someone's definitely going to fucking die.

[keybroad]

Well, the first pass is probably going to be used on whoever earned it, unless they don't want it. The second pass at the latest, if the person is listening to the community, is going to be used on Katou, the only person on the record as volunteering.

After that, there are a couple ways of thinking. Ib and Mary wouldn't be controversial choices. There's an increasingly prevalent suggestion that players without votes die but I don't want to leave them out in the cold. It's highly possible they won't score for some really dangerous challenge.

What really matters though... once there aren't obvious candidates in the studio, are there any members of our present group who'd like to get in line for the hotel?

[how_to_succeed]

Ah, I should probably note, I have one. It was offered to me as a consolation for my not receiving a vote last round when I should have. [And also in exchange for breaking Rosa's toe, but that's not important right now.]

If anyone has strong feelings on how I should use it, by all means let me know.

[jinglebros]

[ Santa's mouth opens wide and he raises a finger before glancing at Lotus. ]

What do you think?

IMPORTANT VOTING BUSINESS

[jinglebros]

Looks like we all got votes. Good job on the performances, by the way. [ He especially enjoyed the burns on Rohan. ] So, what are we going to do with them?

Obviously I'm voting for June.

[bookmarking]

[RAISES HAND looking very proud of the Rohan burning.]

Voting for Snake, now that I can, again!

[how_to_succeed]

Rosa, Kyrie, and myself are exchanging votes among the three of us as we have been doing.

[keybroad]

Oh, good. So just to confirm, yourself for Rosa, Rosa for Kyrie, and Kyrie for you?

LET'S TALK ABOUT SELF DEFENSE

[jinglebros]

[ Santa stands up and reaches underneath his shirt to pull out something he's strapped to his skin. He sets the object on the table. It's a broken piece of ceramic with a thick leather strap wrapped around a third of it. It's obviously meant to be a weapon of some kind ]

I was gifted this, it's not important by who. The important thing is, people are starting to make weapons around here and we need to bring back up the topic of self defense. We can't end up dying because we fucking hesitated.

[keybroad]

Why now?

[She leans over and stares at the weapon without touching it. Examination complete, she looks up at Santa.]

Seriously, why right now? I know neither Aku nor Sophie nor Ronove would give this to you. Nobody else has a public reason to start being this desperate, right this second. The votes are tied for the first time all game.

[jinglebros]

[ His face blanches a little. ]

I can't divulge on that shit without revealing who gave it to me. And that's not the fucking point here. The point is that someone is this desperate and it's going to get worse once people figure it out.

[golden_dream]

...I think 'who' gave you that is a very important question.

[jinglebros]

What does it matter to you, I can promise they're not a threat to any of us.

SHIT TALKING AND GROUP SNUBBERY

[jinglebros]

Well, guess that Frank asshole died like all you guys wanted.

Anyone have some other important fuckery to tell? Please inform. I don't want another Ene situation to take us by surprise.

[golden_dream]

He was a threat, simple as that.

I don't have any in particular, though the concept of a 'hotel pass' worries me.

[jinglebros]

Fucking worries me too. Could take any of us out at any time and we wouldn't even be able to expect it.
