newlydead r2 - day 13 - 3 999s, 3 ushiromiyas, a rhys and a corrin

[jinglebros]

[ It's time for another meeting. Due to the earlier attack on Santa, they're meeting in the hospital room. Unlike last time, he hasn't been able to prepare any breakfast, so you better have brought your own food. ]

Okay, we've got a few orders of business .Let's get to them, I'm not sure how long I'll last with this concussion.

CRACK CONTAINER

[jinglebros]

[ HEY SO THERE'S A DRAGON PRETENDING TO BE ASLEEP IN SANTA'S LAP. A very small lap dragon. Otherwise known as Corrin. Looks like we've got an usurper to the meeting who is not a member! Santa's saying nothing about this, just keeps petting him like he is a cat and not telling him to go away. Feel like saying something about this? ]

NEW MEMBER

[jinglebros]

Right. So we've got Rhys as a new member now. [ Santa inclines his head towards where Rhys is. ] Nobody bitch about this, you had your chance in the last meeting. Got it? Good. Now welcome him in.

Re: NEW MEMBER

[partcompany]

[ an awkward wave. ]

Hey... everyone. Glad to be on the team.

VOTING BUSINESS

[jinglebros]

[ Santa looks a bit subdued when they get to this bit. ]

So who's got voting business? For my part, I need someone's help. I promised a vote and I fucked up by not delivering as promised. I'm supposed to vote for Simon and if I don't, he dies. If someone can cover this, then I'll cover you next time or pay you another favour. You know, within reason, considering what just happened.

Can someone help me out?

[golden_dream]

...Why Simon?

[jinglebros]

Because Money found me when I was laying on the floor bleeding out.

[golden_dream]

... You sure he didn't do it?

[jinglebros]

What, the monkey did it?

[golden_dream]

I mean... that Simon character.

He didn't get a vote, did he?

[jinglebros]

...didn't he? I don't know, I didn't get to look at the list.

[ Looks confused. It's the concussion, really. ]

[golden_dream]

No... I remember talking with him during the game. He actually completely refused to play.

[double-checks her tablet]

He definitely didn't get one.

[jinglebros]

What the fuck...? Why would he refuse to play?

[golden_dream]

I don't know... he said something like "It's not polite." And didn't change his mind when I said: "You're basically accepting you won't have a vote."

... That's his monkey, right? How did the monkey know where to find you...?

[jinglebros]

The monkey was exploring, I think? The monkey really likes me. Or so he says.

[ Looking really uncomfortable now. He doesn't want to think like this about a friend. ]

NON VOTING BUSINESS

[jinglebros]

So, who's got any non voting business? Anything up that we want to talk about? Juicy details to share? Come on, entertain a guy and give him something to think about.

THE ATTACK

[jinglebros]

[ Santa's getting tired. He's in a lot more pain now. But they've got more to talk about. He slumps down in his bed and looks at the others with weary eyes. ]

So, let's talk about what happened. Let's talk about who might have a grudge. And let's talk about why it might have happened.

And let's talk about what we might have to do about it.

[how_to_succeed]

What was it that did happen, exactly?

[jinglebros]

I was in the prop room and suddenly a hard object hit me right in the back of the fucking head. All I really remember after that is falling and a fuckton of pain. I've got this broken arm and a stab wound in my back. [ And a split lip, and stitches on his head... ]

[how_to_succeed]

And who do you think might have had a grudge? Or did you have no one particular in mind when you said that?

[jinglebros]

I don't know. The only ones I can think of already left. I want to know if you guys have heard anything while being around.

[how_to_succeed]

I haven't, I'm afraid.

[jinglebros]

To be honest, I can also only think of people who overheard some of what I said on the truth serum.

[how_to_succeed]

I won't ask exactly what it was you said, but was it something that might make anyone think you were dangerous and should be taken out, or something that would make specific people angry enough to do so?

[jinglebros]

...both.

[ He looks very uncomfortable. ]

[how_to_succeed]

Ah. Well, I suppose that doesn't narrow things down much, then.
