TNDG - Day 2, Team D Voting Discussion

[trenchdoting]

[At the heartwarming family sitcom set, Detective Gumshoe calls the team together. He has some papers in hand, having written down the facts so that he doesn't get anything wrong.]

Alright, team! It's time to talk about this whole voting process. I don't wanna lost a single person, so let's review the facts so that we know our options!

[He clears his throat and looks at his paper.]



As you can see on the screen, our team earned a few votes. Prosecutor Sahdmadhi and me each got one vote. And Corrin over there got a whopping three votes! Let's hear it for Corrin!

[Gumshoe gives a moment of enthusiastic applause, regardless of whether or not anyone joins in, before he continues.]

Doing the math, that means our team has five votes altogether. And there's eight of us! So even if we used each vote for a different teammate, that would still leave three people on our team without any votes. Seems pretty bleak, doesn't it? Well it doesn't have to be, pals!!

That's where Miss Washington's idea comes in. She pointed out that some of those other teams have more than enough points. Especially that Team E! They've got 15 votes between 8 people. If we can get just a few people from other teams like that one to use some of their votes for us, than that'll save us all!

I happen to have a friend on Team E, too. Miss Maya Fey! She has an extra vote, so I'll ask her to use it for one of us. And if anyone else knows people from other teams who can help us out, now's the time to speak up!

[He takes a breath and then sums it up.]

So basically, the three of us with votes have to settle on who we're voting for. Then, for whoever on our team doesn't get voted for, we'll try to get friends from other teams to use their votes for them! Got it?! Now let's all do our best and figure out how to get us all through this alive, pals!

[ooc: So yeah, feel free to tag around without any set tagging order and whatnot. The priority is figuring out votes!]

I was unaware she was ill... How unfortunate. I shall pray to the Holy Mother for her recovery.

Could you elaborate on this virus? What are the signs and symptoms that would indicate a relapse?

[aumygoddess]

It's a bit of a lengthy explanation, so please bear with me for a moment.

[ She takes a deep breath. ]

It is called Hinamizawa Syndrome, as only occupants of our village develop it. Ah--I am immune, though, so please do not worry about that. [ just in case. ] It manifests in intense paranoia and hallucinations. She is not aware that she is ill, so please do not tell her for the time being, as it may amplify her delusions. Stress and anxiety makes it much worse.

The higher the severity of the illness, the more delusional the person becomes. At this point, she has convinced herself that she is her twin sister, Mion-san, who is likely dead. If you see her talking to herself as if she is two people, she is "communicating" with Mion-san.

As for signs...scratching of the throat. I do not know why, but victims of this disease often hallucinate that there are bugs crawling in their skin and attempt to violently claw them out. If she is put under too much stress, or suspects that anyone is working against her, specifically, she will be very inclined to violence both towards herself and the people around her.

W-what a horrifying illness! And to be unaware of it... Is there no cure that can help her?

[aumygoddess]

There is. It is called C-120, a special medication made from the antibodies in the blood of my family members. I do not know how to acquire it here, unfortunately...I suppose it could be made from my own blood, but I am not a scientist, and I would have no way to go about making it.

[ephemerous]

Yes, of course. Even if we had the medical expertise available here, there simply are none of the resources that might help her.

In any case, I will keep close watch on her for any signs of erratic behaviour. We cannot allow her or anyone else to come to harm.
