INITIAL MURMURS AND CAMPAIGNS
Zap (grinning, waving hands):
“Okay team! Look. You want speed? Agility? Alien awesomeness? Vote me—uh, I mean, vote for people who can handle high-stress environments. I totally recommend someone like Gordon or Kitsune.”
Sue (rolling her eyes at Zap):
“You’re so loud. Just… pick people who can survive, okay? Stop waving your claws around.”
Zephyr (shyly to Vadrina):
“…Maybe… someone with a sword? Or speed…?”
Vadrina:
“I’ll take the lead if necessary. But it’s better to have someone who can cover multiple angles. Gordon and Kira are… reliable.”
Kira (smiling politely, hands steepled):
“Strategic… approach is essential. I agree with Vadrina. A well-prepared team is less likely to fail.”
Cassie (yawning, half-sitting on a crate):
“Rituals aren’t needed, but brains and reflexes are. Maybe… Sue, Gordon, Vadrina, Kira… maybe Ducc for raw chaos potential. Skrunkly could… distract enemies?”
Skrunkly (excitedly bouncing):
“ME DISTRACT! ME DISTRACT! Or nap first?”
Sue (to Cassie, frowning slightly):
“…Don’t put me in just because I’m smart. I can survive, but I’m not volunteering for a guaranteed death trip.”
Zap (interjecting, ignoring the rules slightly):
“Okay, fine, we vote people who aren’t me. Maybe Kitsune, Vadrina, Gordon, Kira, Sue—ideal combo.”
Grim (spinning wheelchair slowly, clicking):
“Wheels… strategy… fast, strong, reliable… probably Zap not included.”
Pale King (regal tone):
“I don’t engage in missions personally… but someone capable of leadership and foresight should go. Vadrina, Gordon, Kira, perhaps Kitsune, and… Ducc.”
Count Koffin-K (telepathically, cheerful):
“I like teams that are fun, but also, y’know, survive. Maybe throw in Skrunkly for chaotic morale, plus Sue and Gordon for brains.”
Sue (raising an eyebrow):
“Again with me. Fine. But I vote strategically. I want to see this base in one piece when we return.”
Bibliox (muttering, waving his book around):
“Whirlwinds! Books! Bubble-attack! Yes! Strategic bubble-mages… wait, who has feet? Foot-knowledge? Foot-knowledge mission! …maybe… Zephyr?”
Dijital (digital tail flicking, glowing):
“Lol vote for whoever survives the memes. Speed? Zap, Vadrina, Gordon. Chaos? Ducc, Skrunkly. Easy math.”
Scoop Dog (loudly blasting music):
“VOTE PEOPLE WHO LIKE ICE CREAM! And survive missions! That’s… mostly Zap… and Gordon… and whoever else is fast!”
