No, I'm afraid during the week itself I'm not able to tell you which task is mine. If I do, then it'll invalidate the results.
But each task itself translates to one point. Vouchers also translate to one point each, and finally membership to a Dorm will be calculated at the end but each person will likely count for more than one point.
Fuck. There goes my haggling option. [huff.] I was gonna say lower your price for me and I'd get a bunch of people to do your task specifically.
[if you cannot win fair CHEAT THE SYSTEM FUCK THE MAN]
Guess not a lot of people did the tasks, then? Or maybe they didn't use vouchers. [... a pause.] Wait, what does that mean, like every person here has a point value?
No, a lot of them did! I think more people would just value Love over Hope - not that I blame them for it, but it simply wasn't my answer. And... [she makes a little thoughtful noise] Well, I'm not too worried about our numbers. I think you're all very wonderful and reliable people.
But ultimately at the end, yes. Each person inside a Dorm will count for some number of points that will be added to the Dorm Wars total.
So if, say, you, Caleb, and Mollymauk all chose to promise to stay with Winter by the very end, I could be even more inclined to give all of you discounts.
[with a little sing-song tone]
But it is still early, so I'm trying not to be greedy.
... Huh. Interesting. [she tilts her head back.] We're staying on opposite sides for uh, strategic reasons for now. I'm only telling you that because you might've heard it already.
But that's something to keep in mind. [.......] How many points am I worth?
Oh, don't apologize. I don't want to win so badly that you all aren't true to yourselves - at least for the first few weeks. Maybe if it's a tighter race later, I'll change my mind.
Hehe, none of you believe me when I say I don't listen in... but that's alright, it's a healthy amount of suspicion. But I understand that too. I don't mind if they want to give their Vouchers for smaller transactions to me though. I like them both, too.
[she laughs at the question and then proceeds to knock over another vase as she hums in thought]
I think everyone who started in Winter Dorm is worth at least 100. I'm very fond of you all. Adora perhaps 110 - she's just so cute.
It is really cute, honestly, she's got a big fucking heart.
[so agreed there - but the second part just gets her to laugh and rub at her face. idk if the mod characters care about the fear tattoos but her's is just like right there, on her inner arm.]
but viola just pauses, like she's weighing her words]
... I think you have very strong convictions, and don't hold back your emotions. [a flipper pats a vase in thought for a second] I wish I could be more like that sometimes.
Is that what you heard? Oh goodness, Beauregard, you'll give me a heart attack one day.
Ah... well, I suppose I can try - but it's a little hard after diligently having my actions be... hmm, measured for most of my life. I suppose that's the best word for it.
Oh - they've already banished me from high society. I only go back to my family home so that I can visit with them.
[but she will still kick at some of the vase pieces on the ground, crushing them under her mascot footsie]
As far as they're concerned, I'm the black sheep as it is. I just wish I could get a little taste of satisfaction and throw something in their face - like what you did.
[she's very earnest here.] You still can. Doing really good without them is one of those things. There's really nothing better than saying fuck you by thriving.
[she pushes her hair back out of her face.] And maybe somewhere in there you can end up at a high society dinner and slip a laxative in someone's drink.
[she's surprised into laughter yet again at the mention of laxatives]
That would be rather fun, wouldn't it? I might as well put it into a too expensive wine bottle that they'll all pour from in some effort to seem refined.
Hmm... Well, it's part of why I'm here, at least. The school is better than the capital on most occasions. So hopefully I'll be able to do just as you say. A little spite as motivation is good in healthy doses, I think.

That's the second time you've brought her up. Sounds like someone has a crush. [teasing!!]
no subject
[she's just ecstatic
but she's laughing]
I'd bring you up more but I worry it'd be bold to admit that I admire you.
no subject
[so agreed there - but the second part just gets her to laugh and rub at her face. idk if the mod characters care about the fear tattoos but her's is just like right there, on her inner arm.]
What? Why?

her lips twitch at that though.] That's the nicest way someone has ever called me a rude bitch.
[she's pleased, though! and still joke-y.] There's no reason you can't be like that.

I lived in a town where all the insults were coded like that. Rich fancy people, am I right? [...] Sounds like maybe you know something about that?
no subject
[to which she's just going to succinctly shove another vase off the table with a flipper. a little bit more viciously this time.]
no subject
Yeah, get 'em. [sniff.] My family sold wine. Really good wine, the type of shit you can't get anywhere but the land we live on.
So you know what I did?
no subject
no subject
Undercut them on it and kept the cash.
no subject
[she sounds somewhere between shocked and so, so impressed]
Amazing! That's ingenious!
no subject
It really pissed my dad off, for sure. Think you could do something like that? Just to stick it to the people at the capital.

[she picks up a vase this time, and, like a show-off, tosses it in the air and kicks it while it's dropping, shattering it.]
Oh, hey. What's your favorite color? [she is on a quest to find this out from every npc]
no subject
[can you tell she's getting tired of being in it]
And mine is blue!
no subject
[but she will note that, nodding.] Blue's a pretty popular choice I'm finding. That's the signature Soul color so I'm down.
no subject
[phew!!]
Signature Soul color...? What might that mean?
