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 don't know anyone else here, but I talked for a bit with Maya and Kokichi on Team E. They seem really nice, I'm sure they'd be willing to help.

[ A little bit after the vote discussion gets going, Hanyuu pipes up. ]

...I know Sonozaki-san on Team B. We come from the same village.

[ Hanyuu shuffles awkwardly. She. Should probably at least warn her teammates of what Shion is capable of. That's a disaster waiting to happen. But she still feels bad talking about her friend behind her back, regardless of safety. ]

This is a bit off-topic, but it's very important, so I'd appreciate it you all would listen for a moment. [ .... ] Sonozaki-san is very ill, right now. She has a serious virus. It will not be contagious to you, but please be careful around her, regardless. It seems that she's recovered a little since her arrival here, but a complete relapse is possible.

[ephemerous]

I assume one or both of Leo's retainers will cast a vote for him, so that is one of our team we do not need to account for. Please correct me if I am wrong in this assumption.

If there are no objections, I would like to cast my vote for Miss Washington.

[butterfliesinmystomach]

Oh my gosh! Is she going to be okay?

[butterfliesinmystomach]

-Really?

[Oh no that's so nice she's touched!]

[aumygoddess]

I cannot say. As long as she keeps stress-free, she should be stable...but you can see how that will quickly become impossible.

[ death games and all ]

[ephemerous]

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?

[butterfliesinmystomach]

Yeah... This seems like it'll become a real stressful environment real fast.

The hosts said there are 49 votes in this round for 48 people, but they gave out 51. I counted. Do you think she'd want to go to the hotel?

[trenchdoting]

No objections there, sir! Just like a noble prosecutor to look out for her!

[trenchdoting]

Maya Fey's definitely legit! I can talk to her. If someone can get that Kokichi person to help too, that'd be even better!

[trenchdoting]

[Gumshoe listens carefully, and with concern.]

Yeah? Now that sounds troubling, pal! Should we find medical attention for her?!

[butterfliesinmystomach]

I'll ask him, it can't hurt. Do you know who you're going to vote for, Mr Gumshoe?

[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.

I am Beatrice, the Endless, Golden Witch. ...I'll skip further introductions for the sake of explaining who I know.

A few decades ago, a madman by the name of Ushiromiya Kinzo contracted with me. I would provide him with ten tons of gold in exchange for his soul. Unfortunately that was not all he decided he wanted, and I was imprisoned by him with his magic for some time. Faced with no other choice, I've been haunting their family until a time such that I could fully revive myself.

His second-son, Ushiromiya Rudolf is here, as is Ushiromiya Battler and Ushiromiya Ange, who are his two children.

Ushiromiya Natsuhi, the wife of his first son, is also here.

I imagine none of them are inclined to be kind to me. Ahihihihihihi.

[ephemerous]

Yes. Of all of us, you appear to have arrived here from the most harrowing of circumstances. If I can ease you troubles even temporarily, I wish to do so.

[ephemerous]

Very well. And thank you for summarising the present voting situation so succinctly, Detective.

[butterfliesinmystomach]

[Oh my gosh?? Staring at Beatrice, unable to tell if she should take that seriously or not. That's not real, is it?]

[aumygoddess]

There is only one treatment for her illness, and I do not know how to find it, here. Otherwise...the only way to help patients is to put them into medically-induced comas for an indefinite period of time.

[aumygoddess]

I don't believe she would want to, no. Sonozaki-san is unaware that she is ill.

However, that may be the safer option, provided she has enough time to calm down while at the hotel itself.

[ don't want her flipping out at the new people who arrive later ]

[butterfliesinmystomach]

[HE'S SO NICE]

Mr Nahyuta, that's so nice of you, thank you so much. But who's going to vote for you?

[butterfliesinmystomach]

...What about everyone else that would end up in the hotel? Wouldn't they be in the same danger?

[ephemerous]

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

[aumygoddess]

[ an inclination of the head, sort of nodding ]

It is possible. There is no safe way to mediate this situation short of finding the medicine that will put her illness under control--and I have no idea how to acquire it, here.

[butterfliesinmystomach]

What about our consolation prizes? If nobody has claimed theirs yet, we could try getting it that way.

[ephemerous]

That is what we are gathered here to decide, is it not? Many of our team are still unaccounted for.
