Sakura

[ The dressing room has a vase with your team's flowers inside, a big mirror, clothes racks, chairs for sitting and doing make-up in— the usual. However, at the back of the dressing room there is a large LED screen TV, that has RULES displayed.

Beneath that, there are touch-screen buttons for each team. It will ask you to confirm your vote before putting it through.

There's also an intercom option, to ask questions. ]

RULES

[fiftyshades]

-Each team has one vote

-This vote can be placed on any team, including their own.

-Vote for the team with the most votes.

-If a team votes for an incorrect team, they will punished for failure to obey the rules by being given a new rule to obey.

-The team(s) with the most votes win, though there must be at least two votes to qualify.

INTERCOM

Excuse me. Up to how many teams can win?

[ the video changes over to a man in a smoky room, big and gruff voiced. His high collar on his suit would hide his yakuza tatts, if he had it buttoned. He doesn't. ]

There's eight of you, ain't there? Four.

TURN-IN

[ when time is up, there isn't any selection made on the screen at all. ]

[ . . . . ] Not a popular vote, but rather, trying to predict who would vote for others. . . I see. [ thoughtful for a moment more, before: ] Hemlock or Marigold will most certainly get votes from the other—but aside from that, who would be voted for. . . [ falling quiet again, eyes hard as he stares a hole into the ground in thought ]

[ hey who's that behind you tapping at your shoulder

jk she's not looking if he turns around, but she holds up a notebook with "this is dependent upon what the voting concerns" written in, in neat handwriting ]

[marezydoats]

Which teams have the most people that care about them?

[counterfaith]

That's a difficult question to answer. There are, certainly, teams that have at least one favorite team, but aside from that, it's up in the air as to who is chosen.

[ and, he's selecting the Sakura option, though he doesn't confirm it and lets it stand there while he goes to find a chair to sit in. not terribly close to elaine, but not terribly far, either—it seems the chair was chosen on a whim, rather than any strategic avoidance or pressure of presence. he lets the notebook sit on his lap. ]

[unaffective]

[ the moment he says "no lying," if he's watching, she sort of

jerks, her shoulders and head do, up. awake? she might have been sleeping.

she. she doesn't want that, but. if she talks to him now, she doesn't know what will happen. Maybe if she stays curt? If she cuts her sentences down, she won't say anything she'll regret. so she does - turn her head a little, to suss out his position before moving to sit closer, still refusing to look up from the ground or make eye contact ]

Like yo. ]

You think maybe it's a bit presumptuous to put up a vote just yet? Seems like we haven't finished debating just yet.

[counterfaith]

I have not confirmed it yet, for the sake of discussion. Should another solution be viable, I would be open to it—I have simply left the screen as it is so that anyone who has only just arrived can see what the current situation is.

[ he could be mature or he could kick Kuuha's chair over so I mean. ]

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Voting for our team might might not be a bad bet.

[ thiiiiinking. ]

Setsuna will want to vote for us, I'm sure. If he's there.

[ He's been... way too adamant about not wanting Kira to be hurt. ]

Lycoris might be inclined to as well, considering what happened in that game with the towers. Velvet and Katou both felt like shit after. I've told him to always vote to save Setsuna, though, so it depends on whether or not that knuckle head cares to listen to me and whether or not he can get anyone else behind it.

Arjuna's got that Master Servant thing going on with someone on Aconite, right? So either they'll count on us voting for them, or vice versa. Probably....

The real question is what do we think teams like Larkspur and Dahlia will do. They're the dark horses in this race.

[marezydoats]

What happened in the game with the towers?

[ That was before she got back, and now she's curious. ]

[pashupata]

. . . trying to guess other people's guesses, huh. . . these really do keep getting more pointless.

[marezydoats]

Unfortunately, it seems that way. It's ridiculous.

[alternativefacts]

[ what the fuck is happening im trying to sleep and here you fuckheads are, ]

Why are you all being so loud? Did something happen?

[marezydoats]

[ Please ignore the self-hatred and suicidal ideation on this end of the Sakura bond right now. ]

Doesn't it usually?

[unaffective]

[ no let's sleep



really she is nodding off in this chair. given she didn't come home last night she probably just didn't sleep where she was. ]

[counterfaith]

[ sitting on the ground with his knees drawn up to his chest, somewhere. to his credit the bond isn't closed, even still—but there is a familiar sort of collapsed house sense on the bond, a sensation that hasn't really happened since he first came out of heart games and just lost it for a while. ]
