[newlydead r3] day 8 - rohan

[ibedeadpeople]

[Cheerful booze-gummy consumption aside, once Maya is able to get Rohan in private, her demeanor changes, body language going stiff and small, hands twisting anxiously as she searches for a way to start before just blurting everything out:]

--You can't trust Engarde. He's a murderer and he doesn't care and now you're on a team with him and I don't know what to do.

[ The booze-gummies have gone and Rohan is left sipping from a vodka bottle as he follows Maya around to listen to her IMPORTANT INFORMATION. ]

Natsuhi blatantly said he was the one who did her in. That's why I didn't want to trade within my team this round. Not with him floating about. I knew there was something off about him...

This troubles me.

[ibedeadpeople]

I'm sorry. You asked me before but-- I wanted to think maybe he'd turned over a new leaf. And instead, Miss Natsuhi... [she trails off, bowing her head for a moment] ...What about the rest of your team, do you know if they'd all made arrangements to trade?

[manuscripture]

Not yet. I felt selfish not trading with Miss Azura or Odin but I believe that they are going to be fine.

Having Engarde out of our hair would be ideal but I'm not sure how to go about it without the Hotel Pass or actually killing him...

[ibedeadpeople]

...

.........

Do you think Azura or Odin would decide to trade with him?

[manuscripture]

... God, I hope not. Natsuhi didn't deserve what happened to her...

[ibedeadpeople]

She really didn't... If anyone deserves to get screwed over for votes, it's him.

[manuscripture]

I agree.

Like I said, I don't know how to make that work. I'd rather him be dead than at the Hotel but I think the latter might be the easiest to swing.

[ibedeadpeople]

...You really think we could vote him out? Now, when there are so few votes to go around? [she looks away, frowning] ...Couldn't...couldn't we just do the same thing to him that he's doing to us? I mean...he's got to trade votes with someone.

[manuscripture]

It goes both ways, though. Someone else has to go if we want him gone either way...

[ibedeadpeople]

Oh...yeah... But he'd at least end up sending someone home safely, right?

[manuscripture]

Hopefully.

Maybe we can talk to Gunshow or Kay.

[ibedeadpeople]

...I don't know about Detective Gumshoe. He's awful at keeping secrets, and I don't know if he'd agree to it, either.

[manuscripture]

I don't expect him to do it, but if I am the one who tells him what is at stake... He'll listen.

[ibedeadpeople]

I know he'd listen...

It would be better if we could do sooner, right? Figure out who he wants to vote for him, and...get them to switch, or something.

[manuscripture]

I will get in-touch with him and see what I can hash out.

As for Matt, I can do the same thing. Have a conversation. Feel out what his plans are.

[ibedeadpeople]

Right. Alright. I'm sorry I'm not very helpful, but... I mean, I wanted to tell you, at least. I'll see what I can do, too.

[manuscripture]

What do you mean you aren't helpful...?

You have done more for me here than anybody.

[ibedeadpeople]

Don't say that! I've barely done anything, and I don't want to think that everyone else has been so awful...

[manuscripture]

No one wants to believe that everyone else here is terrible.

But I promised that I would watch your back and I intend to keep that promise. The information you have provided me--... And your company is the most I have gotten since the last game.

You have been a perfect assistant. And friend.

[ibedeadpeople]

Oh... [suddenly seems to find her hands quite intriguing, at least by how she's staring at them red-faced] I don't know what to say. ...I mean, thank you.

[manuscripture]

'Thank you' is all you really need to say in these situations...

[ibedeadpeople]

There's...probably something polite that people are supposed to say; my aunt would've known. Some giant strawberry dessert or something.
