((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.

I don't like it... She may very well mean it and be confiding in you for help, but I think you need to ask her to tell Zelda, if she can't announce it to everyone. At the least she should write "please don't vote for me" next to her name on the list. You don't need to get involved and risk yourself.

[jinglebros]

She was a fucking bully about it, let me tell you. I'm subscribing to this 'taking advantage' idea more and more.

[meatitfeedson]

If that's the case, then maybe it's all the more reason to grant her wish really.

[jinglebros]

Heh. She's not gonna get far if she's using that tactic on others.

[meatitfeedson]

It's an awfully dirty way to go about it, not just manipulation but in a way that would turn everyone else against you. Killing someone outright with her own hands would be more respectful.

[jinglebros]

Not everyone's willing to put their hands directly on the body like that.

[ HEH. ]

[meatitfeedson]

Well, of course, who really wants that? But it would still be kinder than making an innocent person hated even after death.

[jinglebros]

Maybe she figures I deserve it.

[ Smile. ]

[meatitfeedson]

As if.

[If someone thinks that about him, then they've got a problem and they should take it up with her.]

[jinglebros]

Heh.

...

Offenses aside, I think we have to worry she thinks she deserves it. And if she does, what lengths she's going to get there.

[meatitfeedson]

Probably pretty far, if she's willing to risk that she actually might not get a vote, if you were to announce it and everyone decided to believe it. I don't think any of us should vote for her again, at least.

And if people are starting to get desperate, we might want to be careful even outside of voting.

[As in, arm yourself maybe.]

[jinglebros]

So we start getting self defensive.

How the hell are we gonna do that?

[meatitfeedson]

If they had a proper stock of kitchen knives, that would be nice, but Rosa already looked into it. I doubt they'd have cheese wire here...but there must be plenty of cord in the costume room, a blunt object, or maybe a prop knife that looks real enough to scare someone off if they tried anything?

[Chiming in] Baseball bats. Americans gotta love their baseball bats, right? It might be a cheap one but maybe it can intimidate someone.

[jinglebros]

Anybody know how to do hand to hand? Could teach the rest of us a few moves.

[keybroad]

Oh, boy, it's finally time for Eva and I to give our martial arts sparring demonstration.

[meatitfeedson]

A baseball bat would be effective, but you're going to look like you're out for trouble if you're carrying one around all the time.

[Or take a lesson from other WTC characters and just say you're practicing your swing all of a sudden.......]

[keybroad]

Um... we can have drills on using the furniture in our rooms to defend ourselves?

[meatitfeedson]

That's a good idea actually. Anyone who's smart would attack in a dressing room away from prying eyes. And luckily, furniture could be pretty effective in defending yourself.
