[newlydead r2] day 2 - santa

[Junpei waits until there's a break in the people complaining about the turnout or begging for votes to shuffle Santa into his dressing room again--if nothing else, they won't be interrupted.]

Uh, so what did you want to do with these votes? And given that we've got a lot more acquaintances here than expected, who all do you want to let in on this alliance?
jinglebros: (tired mechanical heart)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
I know a few shitty people I definitely don't want in the alliance. [ Santa says this with feeling, emphasizing it with hand movements. ] I don't know anyone else well enough to want to let them in except Seven, but I think we should vote for that stabbity kid and Corrin.

[ Oh boy how his eyes soften when he says the name 'Corrin'. Bad news, that. Can't go getting attached. ]

In fact, I kinda promised him a vote. [ He looks awkward about that. ] Feel free to get pissed, but it's the only one I dealt out, I promise.

[ Santa flushes at the teasing but says nothing in response to it, which is... a very abnormal reaction for him. ]

Yeah, we do. Don't want people getting used to us being charitable. That could backfire badly.
jinglebros: (i see the stars through me)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think I'll having any goddamn problems being tough! [ Santa bristles. ] I didn't even tell that kid I'd vote for her, I said we'd think about it. You try telling a pouting little girl you'll see. That's fucking tough, man.

I think we should choose which of us votes for Akane first and start from there.
jinglebros: (i see the stars through me)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
We've got to try to cover each other, unless we're sure someone else might vote for us. [ Pause. ] We should probably decide what to do in the possible eventuality one of us gets too many votes. We both talked to a shitton of people.

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
So we work around, try to get people to vote for each other?
jinglebros: (we burn every magnet and spring)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll tell Seven to shove his vote somewhere else, then, to start. [ Pause ] Or maybe you should, who fucking knows if he'd listen to me at this point.

[ He has no idea about this 'doing the right thing' bullshit, but he's not gonna say anything. ]
jinglebros: (i am the rain)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Santa looks uncomfortable. ]

Should've let him in on the plan from the start. Actually asked for his fucking help.
jinglebros: (if i break the glass)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, it was just us since our parents died, it was hard to believe anyone would do any fucking shit for us if we asked. Nobody gave us handouts from the start.
jinglebros: (We were bold and young)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
....

This is really uncomfortable.
jinglebros: (We were bold and young)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, does it help if I promise to do what I can to make shit up to everyone?

[ He has no idea what action he could possibly lead that would, but maybe trying is enough. ]
jinglebros: (if only the clockworks could speak)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
When it comes to you and Seven, yeah. I can't have Akane losing you.

[ This is really uncomfortable. ]
jinglebros: (i pirouette in the dark)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I told you, different shit happened to me. I wouldn't have ditched you. Maybe he made a different choice because Akane didn't die on him again.

[ It's easy to say woulds or wouldn'ts in hindsight, though, so... ]

Working on getting out of here is fine.
jinglebros: (then i'll have to fly)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You look defensive. Got something else to say? I'll hear it out.

[ Really, he will. He said his shitty piece already. ]

Careful's my middle fucking name.
jinglebros: (i see the stars through me)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
The way you said that, for one.
jinglebros: (We were bold and young)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Harr de harr harr.

[ Okay fine! Santa lets it go. ]

We got anything else to talk about?
jinglebros: (i see the stars through me)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Why the hell would we?

[ Santa bristles. ]
jinglebros: (we burn every magnet and spring)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pause. ]

The others are probably going to try to swing your votes, you know.
jinglebros: (cut me from the line)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if you should bring it up. Or if you do, don't let them swing all your votes. [ Santa gestures a bit with his hands, trying to indicate that he wants Junpei to stop Right There with that thought process. ] Just because you like them doesn't mean you should give them that power. If nothing else, you've got to do the fucking math.
jinglebros: (i see the stars through me)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine, are we scratching our previous vote plan? I'm not giving up Corrin.

[ Sorry, stabbity girl. ]
jinglebros: (we burn every magnet and spring)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
How about we come up with a number of votes to share with the others? We'll offer it ouright, then we look like benefactors.

[ Sorry, Junpei, it'll take awhile for Santa to stop thinking like a manipulator. ]

I heard someone trying to properly organize votes when we left. Maybe if we help with that, we can prevent getting voted out.
jinglebros: (beats til the song disappears)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-24 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You really do like that action hero thing, huh?
jinglebros: YEAH DON'T TAKE (remembering comes in flashbacks)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-25 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, sure. Even while they're dying, right?
jinglebros: (somebody shine a light)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-25 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Startled laugh. ]

Nerd.
jinglebros: (beats til the song disappears)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-25 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever you say. Just be glad Akane finds that hot.
jinglebros: DO NOT FUCKING TAKE (new day but same lover)

[personal profile] jinglebros 2017-04-25 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, they sure do.

[ Smirk. ]
