Satinalia Fool Voting

[apologist]

FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Baroness Frédérique Durfort-Lacapalette, Brother Jehan Mercier, and Valentine Nicasius Maxence Mérovée Olivier de Foncé
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Deciding on a Satinalia Fool
WHEN: Now
WHERE: Everywhere
NOTES:These threads are made for jacking, and that's just what they'll do. One of these days these threads are gonna yeah okay never mind.

Inquisition! We have for you a list of nominees for your Satinalia Fools. We say Fools, plural, because we have many fine nominees and two crowns - we think they may be crowns. We removed them from the heads of statues in some temple or another. Perhaps they were symbols of shame rather than nobility? None of us is qualified to say, but the statues were very small compared to some others, and - [ an abrupt end to the rambling ] - we will assume they are close enough to crowns to crown Fools. Valentine has been testing them and looks very Foolish.

Two Fools, then. If they cannot cooperate we will give each one half of the courtyard during the festivities and they may, éventuellement, stage a battle between their kingdoms.

We have placed a box outside the tavern where you can place the name of the nominee you wish to support. Please only choose once. The Maker does not endorse cheating. If you do not believe in the Maker then whatever you do believe in likely does not endorse cheating, either, though, again, none of us is qualified to say. If you believe in a god that does endorse cheating, please find it in your own heart to practice restraint.

If you have any questions we are happy to answer them, of course! But first Freddie will read for you our list of nominees:

It's more that I don't know how one takes back a note in a box fairly.

[degenere]

Aren't you a mage?

[justice_is_blond]

I'm sorry, is there a retrieve paper spell that I've not heard of?

[degenere]

Is there? I am no mage. You tell me.

[justice_is_blond]

What I'm saying is that there's no spell made to retrieve a single, specific piece of paper from a box that I've ever heard of. I could use force magic to move many pieces of paper, fire to eliminate them all, but neither would have the desired effect.

Next year I'll vote better.

[degenere]

And one could not be-- what would the word be? Written?

[justice_is_blond]

But then I vote twice.

[degenere]

To correct a mistake, yes.

[justice_is_blond]

That's not fair, though. Not everyone will be voting twice.

[degenere]

Is that my fault, monsieur? Everyone should have thought of that when they cast their votes. Just because I am the one who did think of it, and suggest it--should I be punished?

[justice_is_blond]

Unfortunately this time? Yes. But stick around a year. You'll have my vote then.

[degenere]

I admire your apparent inability to be swayed. I suppose not even a bribe would do it. Very well, then: if we are all still here in a year, I shall count on it. I do not like to think so restricted of my future. It cuts so short all the plans that I have.

But for your vote, perhaps I will stay, or at the very least, return.

[justice_is_blond]

...It depends on the bribe. But next year is certain, at least.

[degenere]

Good! And if there is any uncertainty that might linger--now I know that you are susceptible to bribes. I will only need to discover what that bribe is, and I have an entire year in which to discover that.

[justice_is_blond]

Exactly. I'm glad we've come to an agreement.
