So -

[ Kitty sounds, in her usual mode, sensible and direct. ]

I've been listening, and I've not heard much chatting about the election of the Divine over the crystals, which makes me suspect that everyone's doing it privately. But it seems to me that this is the sort of thing which we ought to be talking about as honestly as possible.

So - who's the best candidate? In your opinions. And what can we do to make sure the dreadful ones don't win?

[A laughs. It's an easy noise.]

Then once we get there, we can draw straws to see who gets to decide for the rest of us. Make certain you've organized your thoughts for if you pull a short one.

Don't be ridiculous. We'll all decide together. With a great lot of screaming. That's how it works on your ships, right? You try to make a decision, everyone else kicks up a fuss and yells and tries to get their way, and then you finally figure out some compromise that no one's happy with but everyone accepts?

[katabasis]

That's more or less the way of it, yes.

[we don't talk about matters of bribery and base manipulation here]

[rathercommon]

Then that'll be the way of real democracy, too.
