[It is the morning after the tattoo game and the ominous vote distribution. Breakfast of milkshakes and whatever else people brought is set out on a conference table in the sci-fi set. Through the doorways, from the room where these people all sleep, there is a faint smoke from the candle at the shrine for Seven, a counter with a portrait, water, and fruit.

Lotus lifts her eyebrows once everyone is there.]

Hip hip hooray, let's face the day.

That would be cutting it rather close. If she keeps up her end of the bargain, that could be useful for us. Of course, if she doesn't, that could be turned against her later.

What's her end of the bargain?

[snakenoeyes]

If she gets at least one vote next round I decide who one of those votes goes to. Of course, I'm not intending to use this for anyone in our group except as a last resort. This is additionally predicated on being sure Mary and Ib are both safe, but I doubt that will be difficult to ensure given their ages.

We could also get her to cast the first vote for a person who'd be hotelled at the short-term cost of another's life. Of course, that's if we trust her... nah, it would probably be better to have her cast a single vote for someone, and that makes it easier for two of our own cast the hotelling votes. And regardless, like you said, if she lies about the vote, we can blacklist her.

[snakenoeyes]

Exactly. Whatever action she takes, so long as we are cautious about who we direct her to vote for, will be advantageous to us.
