Day 8

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ Ronald McDonald certainly seems excited today. ]

Hey, great job! The show was a big hit, and everybody did their best yesterday, or at least were entertaining about doing their worst! I'm lovin' it, so why don't you all go ahead and have a vote?

VOTE DISTRIBUTION:

Aku: 0
Ronove: 0
Sophie: 0

Everybody else: 1 each

…except those three!

However! For Aku, Ronove, and Sophie, you do have a second chance! An encore, if you will! I will offer a Hotel Pass to one of the three of you. A Hotel Pass can be played instead of a vote, and can be used on any player in the game, including yourself, to be sent directly to the hotel. It can be saved for later voting cycles, but can't be used after the votes have been calculated. No takes-backsies, kids!

Zero voters, check your tablets for more information!

[She listens intently to all this. She knew he was a butler, of course, but she hadn't assumed that he'd be so ready to literally die just so he would have lived pursuing the possible increased happiness of his lady. Lotus here can barely even cook if she wants to decrease the hunger related unhappiness of others. It is a really different way of living.]

I'm really, really curious about what everyone's prize is... I used to think I was special for being skilled at computers or dance or whatever and now I look so ordinary. Everyone else seems to be waiting for some kind of miracle - for themselves, for the people they care about for their lost loved ones. I just-- [She opens and closes her mouth several times before coming up with something satisfactory to the censors that could almost pass for talk of escaping.] I just want to go home and be with my daughters again.

So... It kind of gets at my pride as a woman. If I can't even help someone live two days, how did I protect them for two decades?

[It's a rhetorical question that Lotus has a very stony face about, only disrupted when she sees something from the corner of her eyes and leaps to her feet.] Oh, there she is! [Gathering lite brite boards into her arms, she says:] I'll be right back, Ronove.

[She goes off to the bar. She is not right back. Eventually she does come back at a brisk pace and stops in front of Ronove with her hands on her knees, the boards barely held up by her arms in this position.]

Pick a color.

You'll be back with your family. From what I have seen of you, you're a strong woman who has the fortitude and skill to achieve what you want. I'm confident you're not going to perish here.

[And he's not saying it just to be kind. Pick a color? Alright...]

This orange color is nice. That'll be my choice.

[keybroad]

Oh? Good taste. I used this for Rosa to get something close to gold...

[She looks down at the pegs to hide her flushed face. It's not that she disagrees with him or anything, but people usually don't actively agree with the nice things she thinks about herself, and despite his politeness Lotus has a feeling that he'd find a delicate way to put a less positive opinion.

She gets down the "ZLD" plaque and rearranges the letters into "ENE", using a different light intensity to get that brighter shade of blue. Then the orange "RNV" forms.]
