Day 2 Spades party

[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?

You've got to get how her mind works to understand why that stops her.

It did.

That's not good enough if people still get hurt. We're doing better this round and you are not getting stabbed.

[ Surprised pause as he takes that in. ]

Yeah. Yeah!

...Thanks.

Don't thank me for the basic decency of not wanting you to get stabbed. I don't know what kind of team ups you were in before, but in this one, we're protecting each other.

Do you want to take this opportunity to vote your sister out? It might make us a target, but I'll feel a lot better with someone that wanted to stab you out.

If you guys want to protect me, I want to protect you. I don't want to make anyone a target this early. I can handle it until the next round or two. I handled it much longer with her before.

...Fine. But if I turn my back and find you with holes in you you're in big trouble.

The problem with this is, someone has to get hotelled. There's one too many votes for the crowd. How are we all going to make the choice?

There need a pre-emptive strike in some way before one of us gets sent to the hotel.

The only people that could do that to us right now without incurring their own losses is team B, and they'd be idiots to do it this early. We'd just target them back, there's no reason to escalate right now.

But we're a nice helpful team, right? There's 48 people here and you don't think one of them wants to go home and be safe? All we need to do is find a volunteer.

And how do we find this volunteer?

That's easy, after we sort out our own votes we just have to make a big announcement asking who wants to go, hey everyone hurry up and tell us, we'd hate to have to just pick randomly you know~

Nice, nice.

You're better at this than I am. All I had to do last time was survive.

[ Can't say he did a bad job at that. He might have been stabbed, but he was standing here, wasn't he? ]

I'm a very hard working and generous girl~ Survival will be a peace of cake for us this time round.

[She says it lightly but Ene genuinely wants to help people get out of here alive, so she's going to do everything she can to ensure the humane removal of any threats and as many survivors as possible.

But then Santa probably already has an idea about that.]

[Ouma would like to put his two cents in.]

You know, I think the best candidate for the hotel wound be someone completely useless to their team who doesn't deserve death. Like, someone who isn't likely to go around stabbing their siblings or whatever.

Yeah. Family is supposed to be important. And not being stabbed is certainly important.

...But I do think it's at least worth it to ask for volunteers.

Might as well! Hopefully someone might end up getting an extra vote.

It's better to ask for volunteers than to go around judging who's useless or not at this time. We can't be the judge and jury. That's stupid and puts us in a position we don't want to be in.

... Good point.

[If only things were easier for him.]

If we do it now then we just draw a target on ourselves, right?

But if we keep scoring high, then we can decide if that's the position we want.

[ He's pretty confident they will. ]

Of course we'll keep scoring high! Everyone's going to do their best, right? So this is the best plan for now. We don't wanna escalate anything.

But we should wait a while before asking, let everyone else sort their votes out first. We don't want to give the power to hotel anyone away.

Yeah. DO it later in the day. Maybe even close to midnight, when people are getting desperate.

Exactly! So how late shall we aim for?

We can't wait too long, or we'll just waste the vote entirely.

Maybe about an hour before midnight? We can say we've been sorting out our votes, it will look right if we've already given away half to other teams. So let's do the math here.

[Loading up her tablet to count the votes]

Aoi, you and Niles are voting for each other, and you're voting for Battler. The other three votes between you went to teams A, D and F. Kokichi and I are voting for each other, and I gave a vote to team F too. So that's one vote left for you Kokichi? Maya gave a vote to team D too.

As far as I know that's ten of our fifteen votes, that leaves Maya, Aqua and Kokichi with one vote each, and Ev with two. If Maya, Ev and Aqua round robin their votes then they'll be covered. So we have two votes left to hotel someone.

Team A had eight votes to cover themselves with to begin with, so if we've given them one then they have the ability to send someone to the hotel. Team F had six votes, and we've given them two, so they have enough to cover each other and we should let them organise themselves. Team B had nine votes to start with too.

So basically, Team A and B have an extra vote, C and F have just enough to save themselves, and D we've given two votes to but they still need one more. We shouldn't give any votes to Team D before they try A or B then. If anyone asks, tell them you've given away all your votes and you'll talk to a team member about it, but direct them to teams A and B. If they really can't secure a vote from them, then we'll take pity, but it's a last resort.

Hm...

Well, we did trade votes earlier, didn't we Ene?

Yeah, we did.

[Where are you going with this]

And I did tell you I gave a vote to someone already...

... How many votes does Aoi still have left?
