Editing Life of the Party (section)

===Second Action===

Dubreck chats with Gale about Phoenix-Feather-hunting.

Green 6 chats up Nesh.

Jasmine (Red 10) chats up Stella– is she interested in becoming one of Life’s Servants.  They compare notes about how the Church works in Orange vs. Yellow.  

Nesh goes to the Trophy Room and recognizes Mirandal and tries to chat up the group talking to the candidate there.  (Red 12, Green 12, Orange 4).  Ladinas recently gave quite a bit of money to build a temple to the Goddess here in the capital.  In a result, she was nominated by Lisabel (Red 12).  They’re chatting about what they can do to help Ladinas win.  Anyone not currently aligned will probably vote for Rani Dwalla, but individuals could be persuaded if given a reason.  Lisabel is unhappy that the fix is mostly in; that’s not usually the way it works.  Dwalla is a fine candidate, but would normally be beatable.  The Lady doesn’t usually do that.  The fact that she’s the niece, well, family is important, but.  Lisabel thinks Ladinas is clearly the best candidate, and is the only one of the three who aren’t Dwalla who has a major Priest as a sponsor.  There are clearly Priests who get more say.  Red 1-5 have a vote; 6-10 have two vote; 11-15 have three votes.

Scout conveys info about the poisoner, but no one has seen them yet.  The poison-collector was a woman.  He looks around for her but doesn’t find her; he does notice Thistle’s spell.

Diomarche chats up Green 13, who is a Servant midwife.  He’s pretty sure she looks like Scout’s description of the poison-collector.  Aha.

Gale chats up Red 2 and 9, trying to convince them to support Alushka, on a “there shouldn’t be a fix, so I’m going to Meddle a bit”.  9 is in fact Aluska’s sponsor, so she’s already in favor; 2 is convincible, in part because she doesn’t really think her vote matters if the fix is in.  Dwalla’s scoreboard hasn’t changed much, but there is now an Anti-Poisoner group that has a point on the scoreboard.  Go us!

Stella thinks about Reds 10 and 13.  Neither of them are all in on Team Dwalla, but are planning to vote for her.  13 is more willing to change that vote, probably, if someone was really a better candidate.  10 would be willing to change her vote if there was something in it for her.  Jasmine thinks Ladinas is obviously the next candidate, given how much money she donated.  Mara thinks Gebra is better, but she’s a Servant, and they never win.  Mara clearly doesn’t care much about the politics, in a way that feels familiar to Stella.

Jasmine chats with Stella.  Lots of NPCs are interested in Nesh as a Saurien.  Green 6 and 7 are looking at each Nesh with interest, but also each other now.  There is a new scoreboard.  Hmm.
