"I'm strongly attached to the prize, myself. I have business in the Bowers that I would very much prefer not be over just yet." She reaches out and lays an arm around Hazel's waist. "Hazel here and I have been talking about it, and each of us is feeling fairly motivated to win this entire. You could say it's something we have in common."

Hazel blushes at the sudden possessive touch, but smiles. "Yeah. We're going to take this seriously. And that means I'm voting for Lyn, because I want a captain who's going to try like I would."

Permalink

"Oh good," she says with a delighted and intrigued expression. "I hate when there's no risk for me. Fight as hard as you can. Goodbye for now, ladies. It's been a pleasure."

Lyn smiles, and gives Sable a small nod.

"We'll do our best!"

Scythe speaks in whispers with Rose, sharing information gathered from opposite ends of the room.

From where they've been standing and listening, the standings look like...

Sable: Self, Maya, Hannah

Scythe: Self, Rose 

Ishaza: Self, Sign Language Girl [Neo]

Lyn: Self, Snail Girl [Hazel]

Catboy [Cocoa]: Self, Silver Haired Girl [Vivian]

One voter left over: The purple haired girl who looks like she belongs at a funeral. [Lily]

Sable has just promoted herself to Coach. Lyn doesn't look like she's going to back down, given the interaction Sable just had with her... 

"You go talk to the shy girl," Scythe instructs. "I'll go see about the catboy."

"On it."

Lily looks over the crowd. 

She's... not really certain what to do. Should she try to get on a team? Her vote is going to be secret anyway... 

She could approach someone, but she doesn't really trust anyone here, and this is... really just a big issue. 

She fiddles with the pen in her hand, clicking the end of it like it's a fidget toy.

Suddenly it buzzes in her hand!

Permalink

She swears and almost drops it, her knuckles whitening on it.

What the heck kind of prank is this, a buzzing pen???

She clicks the end again, and it goes still.

... Whew?

Permalink

Rose approaches. "You really jumped for a moment there. Is something the matter?"

Permalink

Lily shakes her head, a sudden blush coming to her face. "No, I - I'm just not sure what to do, that's all."

She extends her hand. "Lily."

Permalink

Rose shakes it firmly. "Rose." She smiles slightly. "Have anyone in mind to vote for yet?"

Permalink

"I'm still thinking about it..."

Permalink

Sable strolls up as well, smiling. "Can be a tough question indeed. And don't worry, I'm not here to campaign for your vote. I've got my position lined up already. I'm just here to see how I can make life more interesting."

Permalink

Lily tilts her head. "Interesting, like, how?" She narrows her eyes slightly, looking from Sable to Rose and back again.

Permalink

"This has the potential to be so thrilling. People trading favors, orgasms everywhere, and risk. I want side bets, forfeits, and stakes. I want to see as much of this delightful madness as I can."

She spreads her hands wide. "I want this to be the best ride it can be."

Permalink

Lily purses her lips. "I see." 

Permalink

"You don't sound impressed."

Permalink

"In my experience, simple, straightforward play is much more effective and reliable than... wacky hijinks."

Permalink

She shakes her head with a thin smile. "Oh, I certainly don't want to get my hijinks into my core gameplay. My actual strategy remains quite simple: be coach, get a solid team, give and have lots of orgasms. I just find myself in a position where I care about having fun more than I care about the prize. Complementary time at the Bowers will not change my life, nor that of any of my polycule, but I can't bring myself not to try my best to win. Thus I want to see who's up for trades or bets, who wants the prize more than I do and can make an interesting offer, and so on."

She shakes her head and quirks an eyebrow at her. "So, miss, I have two question: what is your name, and what do you want?"

Permalink

"My name is Lily. And what I want is my own business."

Permalink

"Well said."

Permalink

Lily rounds on Rose. "Don't think that just because I dislike her I'll fall for the game you're playing, either." She crosses her arms and frowns. "Get thee gone, both of you. I make my own decisions."

Permalink

She laughs delightedly and nods. "Off I head, then. My name is Sable, and it has been a pleasure. Enjoy the game, both of you."

And with that, she strolls off toward the lovely lavender-skinned beauty and the tricolor cutie who'd been talking with her in sign.
