((CONTENT WARNING: Extremely dubious and detailed discussion of teenager's assisted suicide in the Help A Robot thread??? There is also a lot of yelling in some of the other threads that has dubious properties due to domestic context IT'S BEEN A MONTH SINCE THIS LOG AND I WASN'T IN ALL THE THREADS SO PEOPLE PLEASE HELP ME IF THERE ARE CONTENT WARNINGS I AM NOT INCLUDING...))

[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.

The purpose of this list isn't to make enemies. Are you really gonna make me say it? The purpose is to make sure nobody votes for him in the first place!

[exequte]

I know that! But at the same time, nobody has said outright that we shouldn't vote for him yet because no one wants to be the first to say it. If people think that you're cruel, then they'll like you less, and if people like you less then you might die.

[Besides which, if someone does vote for him, at least they'll have two targets the round after, and people will not be so shy about calling for blood.]

[keybroad]

Well...

[Is June concerned for her? Lotus raises a hand towards the back of her neck - ah, it's still itchy, she ought to go for the temples instead. There.]

I don't come to murder games to meet men.

You don't need to. But if you try to lead a movement to keep someone from being voted for, then some people will think of that the same way as killing them, if it works. Even if someone needs to die anyway. I don't think that everyone has really accepted that people are going to die yet, because we haven't really seen it happen.

[keybroad]

Which is kind of weird. Why not show us the corpses? And then they just left poor Gallagher lying there so it's not even consistent...

But I mean, I told you, I'm probably voting for Sophie, not voting for him. I'm already killing him a little bit.

[exequte]

Not any more than the rest of us are, though. It just... It seems like probably people won't want to vote for him anyway? Since we can't vote for two people this time. And everybody already knows what he did.

[keybroad]

Well, Charlie voted for him without telling anyone. Of course, he can't do that twice in a row. I'm just still gun shy...

I know the list might just come together without anyone getting around to writing his name. On the other hand, if I give out this petition at all, I want people to have plenty of time to sign it.
