ambidex voting #13

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

Another round, maybe this one will end better? Less blood and gore even? No? Well, here are the conditions regardless.:

For anyone who chooses Ally, well, if your opponent chooses Ally as well, then 2BP for each of you and blah blah blah, predictable. Bore him to tears why don't you.

For anyone who chooses Betray, and gets a Betray in return, everyone's BP stays the same and one of you gets fifty coins! That'd be fun, right? A cheeky little gamble. The rest get a pat on the back and that warm feeling of a vote well voted.

Last but certainly not least: for anyone who chooses Betray and their opponent chooses Ally, same deal as last time, two whole memories! Eh, eh? Come on, that's a pretty good deal, right? Take the offer! And the ally person well, they get the usual.

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

[yessss, guess who's really happy you're not like dead or eaten by Bluebell back there or whatever. it's him, that's who.]

Ema! Welcome back, I was getting worried. [He admits because yeah, lost a couple of people to comas lately and he's a fretter at heart.] Did you wake up during that room? You didn't get bitten too, did you? Bloody Alfendi went and tried to attack the creature, it did a real number to his arm. [rambling, did you miss this???]

[she doesn't remember it not happening to miss it tho, it's like only yesterday fretting was happening and today fretting is also happening. that said, waking up and learning you've lost a few days of time only to be almost gnawed on by some blue monstrosity is kind of disconcerting to say the least, so if she squeezes his shoulder (and also pats down his arms for bonus hidden wounds; she knows what she herself would do) it's not that weird, is it?]

I'm fine, it was--pushing the boundaries of pseudo-science, but I'm fine. What about you--you and Doc got stuck in there too? Are you intact? Are you okay?

Doc? [it takes him a moment and oh, Alfendi, the coat. okay that was pretty good. also no wounds to be found, he patiently allows her her own fretting because he's not that much of a hypocrite maybe] Ah, Alfendi- and yes, I'm alright. I was with him and Jake, Alfendi caught the worst of it, really. Jake got his ankle clawed at but nothing too terrible, thankfully.

[just kind of eying her for wounds too, he's kind of on to your ways, man] I guess it was a good thing you were asleep during the first round, you were in a room with Heiji and Sasuke, they both ended up getting hurt in some sort of trap there. I was a bit worried you had caught it too, honestly.

[if she's hiding anything she's doing a pretty good job, no evidence here.] Not that I know of. Maybe I was just dumped in a corner somewhere.

Ugh, I leave you people alone for like one day and see what happens. [maybe it was more than one day. she really isn't the person to ask and is too busy being relieved at not finding bloody bandages. which is just measured concern, not any sort of 'fretting,' don't be ridiculous] I expect you did at least something to keep everyone's internal organs from falling out? Don't think I didn't notice your BP in single digits.

[hmmm, well he'll have to allow this for now.] Maybe, I suppose that worked for the best if so. At least you were comfortable out of the puzzleroom- Jake won't admit it but he was making sure you were alright when you were out, bloody soft touch that he is and refuses to recognize sometimes.

We're clearly lost sheep without you. [dry tone there before he glances to his stupid, traitorous bracelet with a sigh.] Alfendi needed a medkit, he's... he's not doing well. And now he's back to being that strange, placid version of himself to top it off. He's doing the worst right now, Heiji and Sasuke were both stabbed in the leg though- how is Sasuke? I was worried with all the running and dodging... [not ideal condition for being survival horror protag]

[she raises her eyebrows at this, what the heck did she miss] ...Are you sure you didn't hit him on the head, too?

[and everything was plastered all over the wall, kiddo, the bracelet was the least of your worries. she crosses her arms, thinking] Let's try to knock some sense into him later. And Sasuke was his Sasuke-y self, he didn't let on until he absolutely had to. [in other words, it'd been an embarrassingly long time before she'd even noticed. another sigh]

More importantly we should go find the rat.

[he's trying not to sound as amused as he is right now.] I swear it, he made sure you were on the good couch and everything. Don't tell him I told you so, though.

Do you think we'll be able to get through to him? [he perks up a bit at least, maybe they could get alfendi to be his loud, unpleasant self again, what everyone wants really.] Yes well... that does sound like Sasuke. He's almost as bad as you and Jake are, honestly.

[his brow raises] Alright. Did you have a question for him?

[from her expression, she has no idea how to feel about that] I can't think of any reason to brag about it.

[she shifts, differently uncertain, before shrugging and cracking her knuckles] There's only one way to find out. And it would hardly be friendly not to give it a shot. I don't know Sasuke's deal though, I don't think it's that familiar at all.

We're going to rectify your BP situation.

[he's clearly enjoying it because teasing jake about being a human being with friends and emotions is one of the great pleasures of life, really.] I think he was just worried too, really. You never know what will happen with these comas and you are one of the few people he seems to like more than not at all.

[and his brow raises again] Well, I suppose that's one way to look at it. A tad intimidating with the knuckle cracking- and I really don't know either, the lot of you hide your injuries far too often, you know.

... what? [well, it was ema, he shouldn't be too surprised here] Ema, that's a lovely thought but I very much doubt Calhoun would listen. Even if he did he'd likely take someone else's BP- your BP- and I couldn't take that. You may need it for a medkit yourself in the future.

[that answer doesn't make her look any less of mixed feelings] I guess...

I'm just showing that effort is going to go into it. And there's a difference between not making a big deal of something and ignoring something exists, it's not like it's just gonna go away through wishing and hoping you're surrounded by mind readers. [since honestly they could've done a lot more hiding had she realised...]

...If you hadn't given me your BP in the first place you'd have enough to not be in trouble now. You should've taken some from me in the first place, no matter what state I was in. When was the last time you ate?

Edited 2015-01-23 07:47 (UTC)

Well I can't say you're wrong there, still... sometimes what people think is a big deal can vary. [and has, quite a bit. circle of life.]

Ema, you needed to be able to eat too, then. The medkit wouldn't have made much of a difference if you were starving for a few days on top of your injuries. This most certainly isn't your fault in any way.

[quickly running low on things she can say that are not super hypocritical] Those people are dumb.

...You're avoiding the issue. Anyone here could've lent points to help you, yet you're here starving while others are moving on up to the east side. What even were-- [she breaks off, probably shouldn't rathole in that direction either]

Let's look at it scientifically. If you don't have any food, 'someone' is 'mysteriously' going to be leaving you some from the cafeteria. This will cause a punishment, at least three times a day, for however long it takes until you get some more BP. Which is fine. I'm just saying that talking with the rat now might be more efficient.

[he can't help but smile a little at that.] I can't fight that argument, now can I?

I... yes, I know, but with the rooms as dangerous as they were it just seemed like- [alright, he just stops there, sighing. well, this certainly looked like something ema wasn't going to let go, and hershel doesn't look thrilled by that fact but, surprise of surprises, he seems ready to acquiesce- somewhat, at least.]

Alright, we can go try but only if you promise there won't be any 'mysterious someones' getting punished. Is that fair?

[sorry, you got the worst friend, but growing boys need food to grow and not pass out in the middle of a group of monsters okay. she looks pretty relieved he's ready to deal.]

Other than the punishment of having to be in that thing's presence, nothing to worry about. We'll work it out, no muss no fuss.

[he's going to break out one of those favor christmas present cards soon, just you wait. you can't argue with that, probably. hopefully.]

Also if for some reason he does actually listen only two BP, alright? That's all I need anyway. [he tries to sound oh so stern and final about this, he probably looks like an idiot, whoops.] And... well, okay I suppose that's all. Do you honestly think this will work?

[there is always arguing, there just is an earlier deadline for giving up]

[she shrugs] You worry too much. Come on.

[that's really the best he could hope for.]

[and have a somewhat exaggerated sigh but alright, he's going to Calhoun's shop to see if they can catch him there.] You never agreed to two BP, don't think I didn't notice that.

Calhoun? [said in the tone of someone who'd be just as happy not finding calhoun. probably more so.]

[ Here he is, jumping up onto the counter. ] Hello hello helloooo test subjects! Ah, Scientific Test Subject, back at it, eh? I admit, I...

[ He turns away bashfully, as if sakura blossoms were gently falling in the wind behind him. ] I missed the warmth of your company too...

[this is the pause where snackoos would be munched and possibly thrown, if they weren't with wherever her coat and other stuff had ended up. Possibly this is for the best. Instead she just thinks about it, look at this heroic effort]

Right. As I understand it, Hershel here made a transaction with you recently. We're here to work out some refinancing.

[ He's probably disappointed. Where did the fire in our relationship go, Ema? ]

What, the medkit for Half Dead Test Subject? I was going to give him a kit for amputation but who knows what you despicable subjects would do with that.

So, what, you want more bang for your buck? Reeeally missing that bonesaw?

Edited 2015-01-24 02:51 (UTC)

No, no, that's quite alright. [making a face, how helpful.] Ema wants to retroactively offer BP- only two.

[the fire in the relationship is wherever her matches are]

Or however many. You can make that happen, right?

[she offers a smile even. Grimace. W/e, don't get picky]

I could make it happen, but I won't! What do you think, BP grows on trees? The world would be anarchy without rules, the survival of the fittest, blah blah blah.

[ He waves his paw, surely shooing Ema will bring that fire back, matches and all. ] If that's all then shoo, no window shopping over here, some of us have a business to run.

[have a sort of 'i told you so' face though he's not expecting ema to not try to pick a fight with calhoun anyway. since that always goes well he's just going to hastily try to cut that off. probably poorly.]

Oh well? Let's... go to the garden. Lovely this time of year. [nailed it]

[talking over him, resisting shooing :<]

Taking points away from people is kinda your bag, isn't it? I thought you'd be more than happy to do so. Or are you just that powerless after all?
