Yuffie :12:

[viva_la_materia]

Fine. Fine! [Yuffie looks like she might be sick or cry. She's been talking to the House again, and she doesn't like what it's telling her.]

If everybody's so worried about a majority tie, then fine! If you know for absolutely sure that you're innocent, then vote for me! [She hits herself on the chest with one fist, fiercely.] I'll be your

Yuffie- NO.

[viva_la_materia]

Heath, what am I supposed to do? Everybody's too busy worrying! They're not listening to me! And this fixes the problem, right? [She hiccups a dizzy laugh.] We won't even have to guess which one was the majority...

[wyvernridesyou]

YUFFIE.

[ he yells it, uncharacteristically angry ]

All of those people who have died...! You have to live for them! You can't die! How you feel right now about them-

HOW DO YOU THINK IT WOULD MAKE PEOPLE FEEL IF YOU DIED?

[ after all, it's why Heath himself is still alive. he's alive for his entire squadron ]

[viva_la_materia]

[Yuffie is overwrought and miserable and shouts right back.]

Well, how's everybody gonna feel when whoever the traitor votes for dies?! I mean, duh, I don't wanna die, but how--how can I ask for this and then have you cover me? How is that right?

[allthatdies]

Those are brave words.

[Van pauses a moment, looking her over.] Do you have a doctor to protect you this round?

[viva_la_materia]

Well, yeah, but I can't let him! I'm asking people to die, right? How is it fair to protect me and not them?

[allthatdies]

Our goal is to minimize deaths. If you offer yourself as the majority vote, then you will surely die; but we can't be sure of who the traitor will kill.

You will definitely be protected, whereas attempting to save anyone else will be nothing more but guesswork. Not everyone can be saved, but those who can be should be.

Even you.

[viva_la_materia]

["Even her"?] Gee, thanks a lot. [Yuffie crosses her arms.]

People are mad at me for suggesting this, you notice that? I mean, I don't want to die, but I really, really don't want everybody else to die. Maybe if they've got a scapechocobo...

[No, she's not really thinking straight, she just feels so guilty and so frustrated that common sense isn't penetrating very well.]

[never_sacrifice]

What?! No!! There's no reason you should have to be the one to die!

There has to be some other way around this!

[ooc; BLARGH this is kinda my fault 'cause I came back from being internetless and o-only half read Yuffie's other post because all I saw was LIST OMG LIST NO MY BOYS AREN'T TRAITORS NOO so that's fail on my part D| rlkdfsdfklj]

[viva_la_materia]

[Yuffie gives him the boldest smile she can.] No, it's cool, really! You totally improved it, 'cause it was going to be guesswork before and now we'll know for sure who the traitor vote was.

[never_sacrifice]

It's not-- it won't work! It's not worth it!

If everyone votes for you, the traitor might do it, too, and then we still won't know who it is! Are you really sure you want to risk that?! It's your life!

[viva_la_materia]

Well, if the traitor doesn't vote with the plan, then the whole plan's a crack-up anyway, right? [Yuffie sighs.]

If...if a doctor protected me, would you do it?

[geniustopher]

Man, you love coming up with unusual plans, don't you? At some point we're going to have to have a majority vote pinned on the traitor, and when some of us actually have an idea of who the traitor might be... You're clearly married to this plan, and I don't have the authority to divorce you from it, so I'll just say that Beatrice and Lavi gave us a good clue before their death that I took the next step on - I might just know who killed Lavi, but you're sponging up the votes this round, fine, do so, I'll tell you when you're interested in something other than drawing attention to yourself.

[viva_la_materia]

[Yuffie grabs his lapel.] If you know anything, genius, you tell me right now.

[She's absolutely going through with this plan, as adjusted by Heath and the others, because in its final form the worst that will happen is that everyone will vote for her and be negated like Legault, and in the best case, they'll have a clue as to who the traitor is. But if they can add any clues to that one, she wants them. Contrary to what Topher thinks, she really, truly wants this to work, whether she comes out a hero or not.]

[geniustopher]

Urk - [Topher is quite unconfortable being grabbed like that in any situation, and he does his characteristic blabbing of everything] Okay, okay, Lavi was talking about "a gray-skinned guy", Beatrice wanted to go after "Tyki Mikk", Iceland confirmed for me that those two are the same person. But you either didn't hear this from me or you know a second doctor if we even have one.

[viva_la_materia]

[Yuffie thinks about this, not letting go of him just yet.] Tyki Mikk...huh. Did they have anything on him, besides just looking creepy? 'Cause the other traitor was Konata, so...yeah.

[rang_a_bell]

Yuffie... Oh, Yuffie! [runs up to her, all worried] Are you all right? [she's looking her all over for bruises or wounds]

Oh... it will be all right! Please don't worry so much..

[viva_la_materia]

I'm okay, take it easy! [Yuffie catches her wrists and gently puts a stop to the palpating.] I had a talk with Heath and that blond guy. We're changing the plan a little, but I should be okay. All right?

[And Estelle thinks Yuffie should worry less? Hah.]

[rang_a_bell]

[ooc: oh wow, i didn't even notice how much i htmfailed, rrrk sorry]

[she blushes a little, embarrassed. she hadn't heard all of what Yuffie was saying, but she seemed sick, so-] As long as you're all right. I'll be sure to follow whatever plan you all come up with.

[viva_la_materia]

[Yuffie gives her a smile.] That's good. D'you know for sure if you're the traitor or not?
