ambidex voting #8

A M B I D E X V O T I N G

Chop chop, everyone downstairs to the first floor! You're all done the puzzle rooms, so you know what to do. Well, most of you, but it's pretty basic, just enter any Ambidex Room you like (they're not elevators, you ignorant test subjects) then vote! How does voting work? Very simple! Pick Ally or Betray, and that's it! But with every round, there's always some prizes, depending on what you vote, so here's this rounds:

For anyone who chooses Ally, well, if your opponent chooses Ally as well, then 2BP for each of you. You get all that friendship, blah blah, whatever.

For anyone who chooses Betray, and gets a Betray in return, your BP doesn't change at all, but you might get some coins for your trouble, let's saaaay, 20? Generous, I know.

Now, the best part: for anyone who chooses Betray and their opponent chooses Ally, Calhoun will be very generous with his prizes, again! You'll get 15 coins and a memory! Also, as usual, those who pick Betray get 3BP instead of just 2.

But if you're the poor sap that chose Ally and got stabbed in the back, well, sorry, you lose 2 BP. At least you got stabbed for the greater good, right? And plus, you might get a little something. He'll talk to you later about it.

But anyway, happy voting! Calhoun will see all of you later with the results.

[Clive isn't at all surprised to see that Heiji and Hershel picked Ally. He knew that they wouldn't let him down. The Betray/Betray from Snake's team definitely catches his attention, though. He's curious about the story behind that, but first thing's first: he's going to hunt Hershel down and aggressively mother hen at him for a long while for Reasons. If you think you can escape from him then you've got another thing coming.

But eventually he'll leave him alone, and rather than seeking out the other people he wanted to talk to, he just stands around sadly in the lobby. Oops.]

After he made sure Hershel was okay, Heiji was a little surprised to see Clive moping around in the lobby. "Hey, what's up? Somethin' happen to you?"

Clive was someone bullying you did they put snails in your gruel

Clive looked up at Heiji and gave him a small, rather unconvincing smile. "Oh, no, it's nothing you need to concern yourself with." You know, just being moe trash... Heiji must know that lifestyle very well himself. "Did you talk to Snake?"

"Wh-what? Where'd that come from?" Heiji looked genuinely surprised and a bit off-balanced by the question. Oh good, they could both be moe trash.

"Anyway, c'mon, you look totally down! If there's anything I can help ya with, just say so, yeah?"

"You were worried about Snake, weren't you?" Don't think he didn't hear that conversation in the generator. "Forget about me, did you check up on Snake?" Because if not, he should go do that and leave Clive to be sad moe trash in peace.

"Well, yeah, I mean -- weren't you? I've never seen him freak out like that before, and he's been avoidin' all of us lately. He seems okay now, though. I told him to take it easy and not worry too much about looking cool or whatever."

It was of course just normal friendly concern, nothing to see here moving along.

"I had faith that Snake would bounce back sooner or later. He's a strong man, in more ways than one. I'm glad to hear that I was right." Of course he was, he was right about everything. Well, except about Hershel being a horrible betraying monster but we don't talk about that anymore.

"Oh, also, did you get the story behind the double betray from his team?"

"Partially," said Heiji, "But first I gotta talk to Kuzuryuu and get his side. Wonder if he slipped off somewhere... unless you got it first?"

After all, Clive was a reporter; he was probably used to chasing scoops, stop the presses, etc.

He shook his head. "The only other person I've talked to so far is Hershel. Besides, even if I did try to talk to Kuzuryuu, he'd probably tell me off if I even so much as said 'hello' to him." They. Didn't. Really get along. If he weren't in a funk right now then he'd be totally okay with bothering the hell out of Kuzuryuu anyway, but...

Heiji put a finger to the side of his cheek, looking a little puzzled. "Really? I mean, he's a little rough around the edges, but he really ain't so bad. You guys have a fight or somethin'?"

Um. Sometimes extremely rough around the edges, depending on how angry he got, but he and Heiji seemed to get along.

Clive? *Snake is clearly looking for the Brit but since Clive is being quiet and not moving around, that's making his search difficult.*

[Oh, it's one of the people that Clive was originally going to look for. He supposes he should make his presence known, then.]

I'm here, Snake.

Hello there. *He cants his head and frowns.* What's wrong? You sound troubled.

It's nothing important. What is important is what happened with you, Enjolras, and Kuzuryuu.

[Immediately deflecting the subject so they can avoid talking about himself, hell yeah. Plus Clive really is curious.]

Would you mind telling me about that?

Kuzuryuu told us how he planned on voting. It's a little odd but sporting, I suppose.

So he told you beforehand that he was going to pick Betray? Did he mention why, exactly?

((OOC: I don't believe we decided on that so I'll assume no.))

No. If he did it was while I wasn't paying attention. Although...I suspect that he and Enjorlas may not be overly fond of each other, based on the tones of voice I heard.

[After slipping away for a bit guess who's back to face the music? This guy. Hershel is sort of blissfully unaware Clive is looking for him at least, so when he does see Clive he greets him with a pretty normal smile and raised hand.]

This was a tame round, I suppose besides the blue team. Do you know yet who your next team is?

[Clive just gives him an incredulous look.]

You fainting out of nowhere is your idea of a tame round?

[Well, a lot of Hershel's previous rounds did involve flying knives and exploding screens, but still. Clive is clearly not pleased by that greeting, and now he's just going to casually invade Hershel's personal space to make sure he doesn't still have a fever. His question is going to have to wait until later.]

[ Uh oh, he's in trouble. Have sheepish sort of look as he lets Clive go ahead and do that. He's not as warm as he was at least??]

Well, compared to some of the other rounds, I'd have to say yes. [No explosions. He regards Clive curiously for a moment before his tone softens a bit.] I'm sorry, Clive, it must have been stressful.

[The room basically by himself and probably having all the fun memories of Aoi and Kaguragi leaving. Hershel can't really imagine that was fun.]

[It may not be as bad as before, but there's still a fever. That is completely unacceptable. His frown deepens.]

You're still sick. Go take a rest on the couch in the lounge or I'll drag you there myself.

[He's being completely serious. Just try to say no, he dares you, punk.]

Yes sir. [He sighs but okay, he'll go. But before he does...]

Are you sure you're alright?

Why are you worrying about me? You should be more concerned about yourself for once.

Well, yes but... Clive, you've been through a lot since this game started, probably more than anyone else here, and I worry how heavy that must be on you. I never really got the chance to try and talk to you about it because- well, you know. [You know. hating him. He frowns.]

Think of it this way, I'll be able to rest easier if I know how you're doing? [Worth a try.]

[Well, he supposes he has a point... Dammit, Hershel.]

...Fine. Why don't we both go sit on the couch?

[Because this will probably be a lengthy conversation and he really wants Hershel to at least sit his sick ass down. So, he starts heading to the lounge.]
