DAY 13 - Santa

[andascholar]

[Votes are running sparse, Zelda and Santa both have things to discuss and Zelda is making sure there are no eavesdroppers when she calls on him.]

Santa, might we have a word?

Comments

[jinglebros]

[ Santa had been dozing a bit but he wakes up quickly to Zelda's words. He rubs the sleepy out of his eyes and nods. ]

Yeah, sure.

[andascholar]

[It's a bad idea to move Santa from the hospital room right now so just locking the set doors.] It's about the votes. I'm trying to make some plans, but, I think I'll need your help.

[jinglebros]

If I stop voting for Rohan, he'll not vote for me. If I don't vote for Corrin, he'll die.

I'm not going to the hotel, either.

[ Firm. ]

[andascholar]

That's not what I need help with. You have ties to Rosa, don't you? Or at least, ties to her family.

[jinglebros]

Yeah, I do. [ He sits up straighter. ] What do you need?

[andascholar]

Her final vote. I've made a deal to vote for Junpei if he votes for Mari, but that leaves Mary, June, Nijimura and Simon unprotected. I have one vote left and... I'm working on a plan for the third. There's the hotel pass to account for too. But if we want to protect those four, then we need to convince Rosa to vote for one of them. And she does not like me.

[jinglebros]

I'll talk to Kyrie. See what she can do about Rosa. That's the best I can do, Rosa doesn't like dealing with me herself.

[ He exhales through his teeth. ]

I called Lotus a bitch in front of her once and she doesn't let me forget it.

[andascholar]

[H-Hahaha, bites her tongue on anything to do with Lotus] Rosa is not the easiest person to get along with. Who will you have her vote for? June?

[jinglebros]

Yeah, that's what I want. June's not covered yet and someone's got to do it. I don't want my sister to die.

[andascholar]

[Zelda nods] Good. I told her I'd help her win this, but she hasn't asked me for a vote yet so I wasn't sure if she was covered.

[jinglebros]

She hasn't? Is she that upset over me?

[ Frowns. ]

[andascholar]

I imagine this has all been quite distressing for June. We'd best take care of her.

[jinglebros]

[ Sighs. ]

I don't know how much I can do this time.

[ He looks down at his lap. ]

I feel useless.

[andascholar]

You can at least get her a vote. That's not useless at all.

[jinglebros]

[ He nods. ]

I've just been the provider since I was eight. It feels like i should be able to do more.

[andascholar]

We will do more. You will both win this game and go home together happily.

[jinglebros]

[ He grins at her crookedly. ]

And you?
