[unexpectedboner]

Shit. What'd you do?

[jinglebros]

What was I supposed to do? I tried to calm the situation, but they ended up ganging up on me a little with their body language. Which is priceless, considering Lotus had it against Ene in the first place.

[unexpectedboner]

So they beat you up?

[jinglebros]

Noooo. Look, I'm just saying, they clearly agreed with each other that they think I'm an asshole. And Ene thinks the entire group is pathetic now.

[unexpectedboner]

Since we wouldn't kill her in her really weird request that she apparently dropped pretty quick?

[jinglebros]

She's claiming it was a 'misunderstanding' where she 'balked' and 'decided she didn't want to die so quickly'.

[unexpectedboner]

That doesn't sound like much of a misunderstanding. Misunderstood what death was supposed to mean, maybe... Anyway, what'd she want?

[jinglebros]

She's going to try to get a hotel vote, she says. And wants none of us to vote for her.

[unexpectedboner]

Okay. ...Were any of us gonna vote for her anyway? Especially after last time.

[jinglebros]

Right?

[unexpectedboner]

[shrugs]

Weird... Well, hopefully it'll end here. If someone saves her, it won't have to be us.

[jinglebros]

Yeah.

This is symptomatic about other things to worry about, though.

[unexpectedboner]

People freaking out and deciding they don't want to be dead? Since that kinda makes sense to me?

[jinglebros]

I'm talking about the meeting. And the fact Lotus decided to spring a dangerous thing on one of us without warning again.

[unexpectedboner]

You didn't ask her what she was after? Just doing it for shits and giggles?

[jinglebros]

She didn't exactly give me the chance. I want to confront her, but I've got to be careful about it.

Which is why I've got a proposition.

[unexpectedboner]

What is it?

[jinglebros]

Let's bring June in on this. Not the meetings, just... just take her aside, talk to her about Lotus and find out what she thinks should be done. She'll know how to play this the right way.

[unexpectedboner]

Huh... Maybe not today, though? The fire and everything was pretty jarring already...

[jinglebros]

Actually, she'd kill us if she finds out we waited because we thought she needed time to recover.

[unexpectedboner]

Not literally. ...Right?

[jinglebros]

You know what? After the talk she gave me last time, it's possible.

[unexpectedboner]

[jinglebros]

[ Tight smile. ]

[unexpectedboner]

.........Hahaha, you had me there for a minute. Anyway, maybe we should wait and see if Lotus makes anymore moves. Then we can know exactly what we're dealing with... If all of us start acting cold, it's gonna seem too suspicious.
