two prompts
1. [PUBLIC]
Each and every candidate has their own methods-but Rozalin has elected to take the high road. Or perhaps you might call it the High society road-since the only people with invitations to tonight's fancy party (plus guest) are members of the nobility and demonic Overlords. +1 guest each of course, it's only fair to allow escorts. Everyone else? Well, nobility can be purchased at the door-For the low, low price of two million Hel per place.
Once ushered through the doors, one might find that she's finally shaken off that Christmas-decor from her room and moved on to something more...well, it's just genericly rich. There are Prinnies running around in uniform with serving trays of wine, liquor and sake.
And when everyone has arrived and been counted, the doors will open and all will be ushered in for 11 tiny courses of gourmet food. Meat features heavily, and it's all the grand old dishes that bespeak wealth and power.
Even later, perhaps you might be invited for a private conversation and a game of cards, or chess, or some other light entertainment, if there is the promise of real power to be gained by such a thing. Or maybe just negotiating who gets how much of the vote-even if you loose the election after all, there is power in being a mover and a shaker.
[2. Private]
Training for 'Yuki' has gone from bad to worse-her skills have leveled off and stopped improving well short of where they logically should be able to go. Tonight, lungs burning and already tired from the party, there is going to be a breakthrough-but not a good one.

Twice, which was hard to think about, so Mindy chose not to.
"That was a little confusing how you said that, but I get what you mean. But that's why you always make up a plan on the fly. You have to roll with the punches in just about any kind of situation, after all. If I didn't think that, I probably wouldn't be here."
no subject
"Planning in the heat of the moment is no time for such things, no time to really think at all. It's a time for reaction, not deep thought. It's part of why I prefer to fight my battles at range, with heavy artillery and several thousand rounds per minute." That was with a smile-if they were trading battlefield stories, Rozalin had several that ended with 'And then I fired several hundred bullets at them and it ended there.'

Mindy nodded. "Well I was talking more about when you have the ability to actually plan things quickly in your head. What you sound like you're talking about is battle instinct. Before the ship, your kind of fighting was the only kind I ever knew, aside from short range bludgeoning when I had the chance."
