Day 2 Spades party

[digiteyesed]

[Once again the team has been gathered, this time in their SWEET RAVE SET which has been locked for privacy.]

Thanks again for meeting team! And to Kokichi for stocking up on supplies, that's very nice.

Looks like we've got votes in spades, good job almost everyone. So lets figure out who's covering who, yeah? Kokichi and I are voting for each other, everyone else make sure you're paired off, and someone make sure to vote for Battler.

We should talk about what to do with our seven extra votes as well. Team F and Team D are in real trouble, we could help them out. I already gave one to Team F, so they need one more, and D still needs three if any of you are feeling charitable. We're likely going to be in a position to send a few people to the hotel, so how do we want to go about that? Anybody seen any volunteers?

[Reaches for a handful of Aoi, wherever he's standing.]

I want to trade votes with him.

And I already have a couple ideas for my remaining two votes.

[digiteyesed]

Awww, you two are so sweet together~ Who are your ideas? That might be a good idea too thinking about it, have a list of people we care about to prioritise in situations like this.

[locktouching]

Hmm. I think I'll vote for my daughter and my fellow retainer.

That is, Nina and Odin.

[digiteyesed]

You have a daughter??

[jinglebros]

[ That handful almost happens to be his butt, but Aoi gently directs that hand into his own. NO GROPING IN FRONT OF THE TEAM ]

I guess I could probably throw a vote my sister's way, but she can handle herself. She hasn't talked to me anyway.

[ Pause. ]

But I'm voting for Corrin and nobody can stop me. I don't care about my last vote, as long as I get to do that.

[locktouching]

Thank you. I'm glad you're ready to cover Lord Corrin. I worry about him... but there's others I'm worrying about, too...

[digiteyesed]

[Ignore groping for now] You have a sister? I'm learning so much about family connections! Ah, and if you don't care about your last vote, can you give it to Battler?

[shslliar]

[Don't mind Ouma. He's just meddling with the DJ booth to see what it does.]

Hm... I wonder what kind of music is available here...?

[digiteyesed]

Play us something cool!

[shslliar]

Sure thing, Ene!

[Ouma looks through the (seemingly unlabeled) records and puts a random one on the record table. He places the needle to the record, hits play...]

[... ... And is not sure he exactly likes what he hears.]

Uh... This is cool, right?

[ibedeadpeople]

I know Detective Gumshoe--um, he's on Team D--from back home, and I said I'd give a vote to him.

[digiteyesed]

Nice! I'll make a note of that too, anyone else you know here? You could trade votes with Ev, since Aqua hasn't shown up yet.

[rustedlinings]

[He's leaning over the railing, seeing how far he can go without tipping]

Anyone wanna offer me something nice for my spare vote? I mean, we have a strategy here, right?

[he pauses]

Is there anyone we don't want around~?

[digiteyesed]

Ehhh, you want to play cutthroat so early? Wouldn't it be smarter to position ourselves as the nice helpful team, if we start culling it'll only make us a target when someone else gets more votes next time.

[jinglebros]

You're right, you're right.

But I have a proposition over who we need to keep an eye on, by simple virtue of the fact I'm here.

[chestboard]

Aahh... [battler scratched the back of his head. he was seriously falling behind here and he needed to fix it!!]

As for the teams... there's someone on there I made a bet with- I definitely can't let her go without votes. Her name is Beatrice.

[digiteyesed]

Ah, on Team D? Kokichi gave a vote to that team but I don't know specifics, check with him if it was for her. If not, we should really try and get someone on team A or B to vote for Beatrice first. Niles gave Team A a vote so maybe there's some leverage there?

[chestboard]

...Alright, I'll do just that. I could ask her directly if anyone is voting for her- but I just wanted to hear about the specifics of our team voting.

We have a bet to see who can get more votes, you see.

[safecage]

I can throw my vote down for Battler I guess.

As for the extra votes, why don't we sell them to the highest bidder.

[jinglebros]

Whoa, don't vote for Battler, I'm doing that. We don't want to send him to the hotel.

[safecage]

Ok ok, I won't do that then. Who do I vote for instead or whatever the plan is.

[rustedlinings]

I don't have a partner--wanna be votin' buddies?

[safecage]

If it gets us through the round in one piece then I'm your buddy.

[digiteyesed]

Personally I think we should save any bids or attempts to sell off votes until later in the game and build our image first. We've got a lot of rounds and a lot of votes coming, and we need to make people like us enough to keep us in. Plus Battler already has a vote. Maya and Ev need one though, why don't you guys round robin it?

[ibedeadpeople]

"Round robin"...? Like, Aqua votes for Ev, Ev votes for me, and I vote for Aqua?
