[welp no time like the present to dive into a theory that he only thought up a few hours ago. he's very artful with his words when he needs to be, though, and talks like he's been thinking along these lines for quite a while.]
The cat isn't giving us an opportunity to barter our way out of this situation, as I'm sure you've noticed... [sounding very bitter? SOUNDING VERY BITTER.] It's my belief that even if a vote were to be made, he wouldn't allow anything after. He would just kill the ones voted for in whatever gruesome manner he could without the help of those shadows, and then send the rest of us home... But, if we were able to draw him back before-hand... we might have a chance at striking that barter. [or killing the cat, maybe - he'd be cool with either. that said, he takes a deep breath before leveling her a serious look.]
I believe that three people should die before the vote. The cat would have to come, and it's possible that we could do whatever is in our power to give a chance to those who never had one... [his brow furrows again.] But it's still a risk. Those who die may not return... I would give my own life, if possible, but if things go wrong I would like to be here to protect those who can't defend themselves. I don't know if anyone else would approve of such a reckless idea, but our backs are against a wall and three people will die tomorrow either way, whether we're forced to commit murder through the vote or take matters into their own hands...
