Death Game By Majority 1: Preliminary 2nd Round

[Vaellin the Bard]

Once more your watches sting your wrists and you find yourself falling unconscious. This time, however, when you awake you find yourself already in a now-familiar room.




Miley stands in the center with Safalin, the latter holding a tray containing Miley's teaset. Miley is drinking from a cup once more and eyeing the rest as they all wake up.



"Welcome to the final round of the first Death Game By Majority. The preliminaries start now. You don't need to worry, you just have to pick the three people you want to go to the primaries. Good luck!" She chuckles before the platform in the center rises up with her and Safalin. Once more they stand above the rest, observing their actions. There is a giant hole in the center of the room.

Estinien is still only wearing pants. Sora is missing fingers. Everyone else seems fine.

Preliminary round begin.

Note: It ends in 48 hours (6pm PST, so 47.5). Primary ends 24 hours after that.
Darkened: Those who had their roles darkened now have it revealed.
Absentee: To those who do not vote, you will be punished by having your vote added randomly--favoring a vote on keymaster and sacrifice but not guaranteed to fall on it. If you have any questions, please ask.

Estinien jumps to his feet eyeing the now familiar surroundings. Realizing that he is without his armor he turns his attention to Safiline.

“ Pardon me my dear Safilone, but would you mind telling why you have decided to hide my armor and spear? It’s rather cold in here.”

[Panda]

Sora looks at Estinien, Yukia and Lysithea. "I am really sorry for what I did to you at deadly! I just ..." Sora stops "I am sorry."

 Estinien shrugs. “ It was a very clever move by someone who wanted to survive.”

He nodded at Sora before turning to the rest of the group.

”Speaking of-shall we get this annoying little chore out of the way?”

Safalin bursts into sobs on her platform. "I-I didnt want t-to just leave it where M-Miley could get it and I fo-forgot to give it back t-to you. Please forgive me!"

Something about what she said feels off but shes blubbering too much to make any sense now.

Miley sighs in annoyance. "Yes. Please, do continue. Who shall you vote for? The quiet ones like Caroline or Kris? The obnoxious ones like Estinien? The betrayer like Sora? The gentle one like Yukina? Lys was helpful but maybe that was for her own goal. Riki is asleep half the time anyway. Guido lied in the last round about being the keymaster. Who will you vote for?"

Caroline coldly looks at Lysithea as if she knows something, then she looks at Miley. "Quiet one? Usually the quiet ones are the ones who have most to say..."

"Oh? Then speak, Sweet Caroline. What do you have to say? Do you want to share something with the class?" Miley is clearly mocking her, dangling a teacup by the handle.

Lysithea crosses her arms. "Why are you looking at me? If you have something to say about me, then say it. Don't pass the buck to me just because you want to look smart."

[superkirbystar]

"You're the keymaster."

[Ktoasty]

”If we want the most people to survive, then we should rule out the Keymaster and Sacrifice again.” Riki has a more solid demeanor. He’s still afraid, but he knows this is the time to face fear head on. ”The time from the start of the Final Round to the trial was 4 days. And 8 trades were made in that time, with 4 of them sounding alarms.”

”To make it easier for us to remember, here’s my record of all the trades each day. No trades were made on the first day. No trades were made on the second day. Three trades were made on the third day. Four trades were made on the fourth day.”

He explains some more to make things clear. Riki sure is good at keeping track of backlogs. ”Trades 2, 6, 7, and 8 all sounded alarms. Trades 1, 3, 4, and 5 did not sound alarms.

The 2nd trade was abnormal, so I’m guessing it had something to do with the deadly game. And, since it’s open information, Lysithea’s card before any trades were made was a Commoner.”

 Estinien raises an eyebrow at Safilin’s tears. They did seem odd-for a normal person but Safilin was far from.
So instead he turns his attention to Miley.

”Hag, just what possible damage could you do with my armor, I wonder? Or...should believe that Safilin was just curious enough about what was underneath?” He smirks, maybe if he embarrassed the girl enough she’d give, though he was loath to do so. She alone had been quite kind to him during his little stay.

“As for my vote-that’s difficult. Should I vote for Sora? No, I’m not that petty...or stupid. I have no evidence that doing so would be beneficial to anyone.

“How about Caroline? They said not a word during the previous trial and now they’re being quite vocal. Maybe even, defnesive?”

Miley shows a face of disgust while Safalin starts crying harder--were that possible. "If that's why she took her armor then I have to wonder if I need to get her eyes check. Or restart her altogether."

 He shakes his head in so much disappointment.

”You’d threaten one of your own kind, who is clearly already in distress, just to insult me-which, by the way, isn’t going to work. I HAVE seen a mirror-what a truly terrible perso-hag you must be.”

He holds up a old, wave it as if to say ‘stop’.

”I am sorry miss Safilin. I did not mean to upset you. I’m sure you had only good intentions in doing what you did.”

Safalin reduces herself to sniffling instead of outright bawling and nods. "O-o-of course."

Miley rolls her eyes. "You two could always just run off together when you survive this, then. I've no use for her if she fawns over every tall man with a stick up his ass."

 “Me? a stick up my ass? Oh no. I spent all day in the hot tub getting down-right hammered. I assure you I am quite relaxed. You, on the other hand...ah! So THAT is where she hid my spear! If you’d so kind as to bend over and remo-no, never mind. I do not want it back. You can keep it.” He laughed.
