this trial wasnt nearly bad enough for sad song lyrics

[oh_worm]

[ A while after... All That, Beth puts together a. Party? Like objectively, this is a party.There's no music, which is a bummer, and no real decorations, but this is a fair shot at a party. In the Lobby, so there's no real getting around it, but if people want to just go back to their rooms she's not gonna judge them.

Audrey is contributing some ART, Penny contributed a veggie tray, there are some hot dogs and corn dogs run over from the Hot Dog Place, and beyond that there's... salad. So much salad. An unreasonable amount of butter lettuce salad with different dressings. Nothing (personally) fried, and nothing that requires anyone to spend too much time in the kitchen. Because like... screw that?

Anyway, welcome to the first afterparty. Aren't you glad you didn't leave it in the hands of a total shitpost? ]

[...Brows raised.]

You are a king, then? So, the profiles are telling the truth. [That aside.] The way I deem it, it would be in this groups best interest if they had a leader, whether it was myself, or not.

[handhook]

Did you have some cause to doubt that?

[But that's fine, we're all calm now.]

Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you. But, with the group gathered here... I fear a chain of command would be counter-productive.

[Too many shitposts, not enough sensible adults, as he sees it.]

[codeofhero]

Hm, no, no. The information given at the moment seems to be accurate... for everyone.

[As crazy as that sounds.]

Knowing some of the beings here, I wonder if it would be as counter=productive as you fear. We would never know if we didn't try.

[Zhu li is dead. They're already down one sensible person. Time is of the essence.]

[handhook]

Perhaps. Do you have some idea for how to keep the more [...] individually-minded of us in line, then?

[He asks like it's a genuine point of curiosity.]

[codeofhero]

A leash.

[......That's.... his attempt at a joke.]

[handhook]

[...]

If you want to go that route, I'd suggest stocks instead.

[Fair enough.]

[codeofhero]

[...]

...No, I would rather not be seen as a tyrannical force. Unlike my past leader, I have honor.

But perhaps something to slow down the Backslide, a little.

[handhook]

I do wonder if we could direct his...energy somewhere more productive. I don't have any ideas myself.

[codeofhero]

Apparently he would like to "run" with me for a diplomatic election.

I am unsure if he is serious.

[handhook]

He doesn't seem to be serious about most things. That doesn't mean he won't follow through with his word.

[For...better or for worse.]
