[ 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. ]

INTERCOM

TURN-IN

[fiftyshades]

[voreaciously]

A single around, is it...?

[artificialinelegance]

That's easier, right?

[voreaciously]

It is simpler, not necessarily easier. There is a marked difference.

[artificialinelegance]

Sounds fake, but okay.

[voreaciously]

[...]

Nevermind, it is not important. Who would you vote for?

[artificialinelegance]

I dunno. I'd assume people would go for whoever they think is most liked, but...

I was kinda distracted, so I didn't have time to get out and meet people yet so I don't know anything about what everyone thinks of each other. Sorry.

[voreaciously]

As expected. That is fine. I am torn between us, Hemlock, and perhaps...Aconite. Perhaps Larkspur.

[artificialinelegance]

We win a lot, right? People might vote for us just because of that.

[voreaciously]

We do, but games like these function...differently, and it is why I take our reputation seriously, it is in very large part due to this.

[voreaciously]

Is there a way to gain a neutral result? What happens if we lose?

[fiftyshades]

Vote for the right team, but don't get votes yourself. You'll come out even.

You get some rules to follow out of here, for failure to obey. Are you askin' what those are?

[artificialinelegance]

Right, but...it's kind of a symbol, right? If we don't know how everyone's gonna vote, there's three possibilities. Most people will vote for who they think is most liked, most people why try to go for whoever's most visible, or...they'll go for whoever wins, because it's sort of a like...you know. You pin your hopes on someone else, the ones leading the pack. The winning choice. It just sort of makes sense, right? And it's the most neutral possible answer.

It doesn't matter if nobody thinks about it logically and just votes who they like, but guessing who's most liked isn't a game I think we can win. In my opinion, the best bet is us or Sakura.

[voreaciously]

Yes, please, what are they?

[fiftyshades]

Not allowed to go out without a chaperone. All orders gotta be obeyed. Havin' to voice all your thoughts aloud.

[ he holds up a list, indicating there's more, but that he won't be reading the whole thing ]

[voreaciously]

Marigold.

[voreaciously]

I believe it is in our best interest to vote for us, then.

[SAKURA AIN'T SHIT!!!]

[artificialinelegance]

Sounds fine!

[voreaciously]

Katsuki-san is very magnetic like that.

[artificialinelegance]

Eh? I don't get it.

[voreaciously]

...It does not matter.

[artificialinelegance]

It probably does?
