Day 10

[Everything is terrible and Zelda has no time to mourn forever. She needs to make plans and solidify alliances. And so she is making invitations to her dressing room whenever boys are available.]

It would weigh on his heart... but I think he would understand. He has always done what was necessary, as hard as it may be.

Doing this could also redistribute some votes.

I doubt the jester would give us weapons like he would the bidders, but I have a special skill for capturing enemies. This could be done without leaving arrows.

[This is all so much different than plotting to kill an evil pig monster force of nature. Does Lotus really deserve this? ...Did any of the others? Ayato? Katou? Gorix? Zelda has to cut herself off there, lingering on those she couldn't save won't help anything. She has to focus. Nobody here deserved to die but it was going to happen anyway, and Lotus was actively contributing to it. She'd already said she was a person who couldn't be trusted, who was spreading dangerous rhetoric and had to be eliminated. Think this through.] If... If we were to do it. Would it not be an idea, for one of us to use it as an opportunity for the hotel pass? Just like the first round, say there was a problem with the turn-in and use a position as a zero voter to get... But that's so hypocritical. After everything I said, the whole point of hunting the person with the second hotel pass down was to dissuade others from trying to escalate their bids, if we do something like that we'll be exacerbating the problem. [ZELDA IS PERHAPS TOO SOFT FOR ACTUAL ASSASSINATIONS.]

[Niles doesn't look really thrilled about this line of conversation either. But he's the one with experience in necessary cruelty.]

Well... as I said, I am practiced at capture, the only one in the Nohrian army skilled at it. I would restrain them on the battlefield for later recruitment.

Maybe... we could just hold on to Lotus or whoever else secretly. Keep her from acquiring votes and causing harm. Then she might die by way of votes... or her allies might use a hotel pass on her.

[andascholar]

...Perhaps. [I wish Link was here he would know what to do.] We should discuss any further plans with Corrin. And then... we will see.

[locktouching]

Yes... I want to include him on whatever I do. I've resolved to be open with him, even if he might not agree with my actions.

[andascholar]

A good leader should be open to dissenting views. It's too easy to be blinded if you don't listen to others. I'm sure... Together, we can come up with a good plan.
