I think plain and simple you should value our relationship above all else. I've already gone on posting about how important you were to me, both for strategy, and as a friend. Voting you out was the hardest thing I did, but guess what, I was up front about it. You had been discussed as a potential vote for a while before (kind of hard for you not to be) but I wasn't going to make that decision until it was necessary. Look at Nagito, he was the vote for you on the kyoko vote. Even if that isn't true, did you believe it when I said it? Yeah, you probably did. The fact that you think he'd throw a vote on you without telling is all you need to know about that relationship.

Meanwhile the round you went out, Shuichi wanted to just blindside you and not tell you you were a target. I told him "fuck no, we are not doing that to celeste", I'm pretty sure I'm the person who talked to you first about that, but even if I wasn't, I had a huge hand in that. I adored you every second of this game, so of course if I thought I should vote you out I was gonna give you a chance. And you were fucking awesome that round, if Leon hadn't handed Mikan an idol, you would have made it. And even then, in your darkest moment, you still refused to vote me. I remember your last words to me before going, and I'm sorry I didn't say them back (technically they weren't the last but  you know what I'm talking about).

I may have betrayed you, but I wasn't a coward about it like these other two. So our loyalty, our bond, being head and heart together, that's why you should vote for me celeste. Your vote is yours only, and a victory for me is a victory for you. So I hope you give it to me.

1. Whoops on Nagito, missed that part of Shuichi's speech. Still you can read his speech and see that he prefered a final 3 with me and Shuichi, you were not in his endgame plans. He might have told you before final 4 or not (if you are being truthful, he probably was). In which case at worst he was in the same boat as me.  (I also think he made a mistake with that vote tbh, he certainly didn't have too much control over shuichi and with games in a similar vein he was likely better off voting you in the hopes of Mikan or Me winning immunity, and voting for Shuichi the next round, but eh, not sure it matters that much).

2. Shuichi didn't owe you anything, but you would likely have been way more upset about that phase if you didn't already know he was targeting you. You got that chance to talk to him because I told you (I think), so yeah, I did do that for you.


3. I think yeah, you should care most about that. You are choosing the narrative of this game, and if you aren't voting for your own game, then you are doing yourself a huge disservice, because you were a fucking BAMF. I know, we talked a lot. Probably not the only thing to consider, but in the end, how can you not pay yourself a compliment with your vote? I know how much you like those.

4. Yeah, I did do that. I mean for the most part I was working with you, but I also did set it up so that you would end up taking the fall if things went haywire. I feel that's just playing the game, and I tried to not stray too much into stuff like that, but I definitely did. And to be fair I wasn't even sure on betraying you until Kyoko went out, not that it counts for much.

5. Also, I think there's a fine line between letting other people play my game for me, and being someone offered advice and making decisions behind the scenes. Like if I hadn't talked to you about a lot of things (leaking to Akane, voting for Akane, all the stuff with getting Sayaka to set up a secret code with you), especially during the week that Kyoko was busy drinking, then there was a huge chance they wouldn't have happened. I took an action, and what I wanted to happen happened. Meanwhile, I am quick to get socially drained, and while I can craft arguments that can get things done (see Akane and the Yasuhiro vote for that, which also played a role in her just not targeting me for a while), it's a lot like trying to cut down a tree with a hand axe. It's slow, methodical, requires very precise strikes and is tiring for me. Meanwhile you are standing there next to me on the same page with a fucking chainsaw, talking to people is your thing you do it a lot and enjoy it a lot. Making big moves is something you wanted to do a lot, so like, for a first choice of tool for a job, why would the job not be given to the person with a chainsaw. And you did a lot of stuff with me or without me, so much that by the time I could get to work on something, it was already done.

Also like, I did cover this in the akane thread, but I was active in a lot of stuff. I was active in ensuring Yasuhiro went home over my cliquemate Hiyoko. I pulled a lot of strings with Sayaka in a round that...ultimately mattered little because either her of Hiyoko going wasn't going to sink my chances of getting to the end. I gave you an exact detailed plan of how to argue to Mikan that could have worked (she certainly hadn't seemed to make a decision until late that round), and though you probably would have done it anyway, I suggested the switch to shuichi, while making a move that would not endanger my realtionship with anyone no matter the result and, if not for a few reservations, would have made me the swing vote on the revote. And sure they didn't always pan out as they hoped, but you can't grade an influence on a "work or didn't work" scale. I think that this combined with how much influence I had over you during the game is more than enough reason to vote me. Also, I do have a question. Was there any chance in the round that Sayaka voted Nagito, of you going there as well? Because if there was then like...we totally could have just had our way with that vote, because I (and probably everyone else) knew about that wagon. Also, people call me passive because I wasn't talking to everyone all the time, but if I had done that all the time then well...I've played games like that, I died that way. I toned it down, and because of that, I'm here.

One more question from you so hopefully that was a good response for you, I'll likely take a break from answering as I have a lot of thinking to do. Not surprised by these questions though.

I feel like I deserve this the most, because I did my best to keep this game fun and lighthearted, while still giving it my 110% to win. Like I said in my intro, I used to be an extremely competitive person, and I'm surprised people played games with me looking back. After self reflection, I still play with 110%, but now if I lose instead of being disappointed, I get excited for the other person. It's this kind of attitude I try to bring to games.
I knew you were playing many sides, and you also tried to vote me out at Final 7. I still cheered you on and barely blinked an eye, (while I of course still tried to think of a way I can actually outmaneuver you). That's one of the things I liked about you, and you also made it clear that you were playing hard, but it was all in the nature of fun.

Nagito and Gundham all have that similar approach too, so I guess now that I'm done typing it, it doesn't make me unique. But I don't feel like deleting that. Let me try something else.

I deserve your vote, because if you do, I'll give you all the good loot in the D&D campaign I run after this 
I'd say throughout this game, we were very often voting differently from each other. Actually, outside of a few exceptions, I think we voted differently more often then not. But I always put a lot of effort in keeping our game relationship alive. I think most people by the end of it actively wouldn't be trusting each other. I mean, I even basically told you I was voting Kyoko, and that I wanted you gone at final 4. But it was this honesty that let us always have each other as a back door. (And you gave it to me in return... usually ) I think our successful type of game relationship is enough to specifically earn your vote.

Things like how beautiful your scarlet eyes are? My real question is how many people's PMs with you are 50% flirting. Don't worry, I got dressed up just for this interview.




...W-wait why are there so many pictures of Nagito in a dress? This isn't what I wanted!

Celes, even though I'm going to anyway, you don't need me to tell you I adored you. You were the person I talked to most for the sake of talking to, with the possible exception of Yasuhiro rest his soul. When it came to taste, style or just wanting to tease, you were never boring. That more then anything is why I liked you so much, I adore catty people. I could ask you to vote for me because we were friends and I was loyal. I think a lot of the jury would have the same story, though. You had a lot of friends. So I'll tell you how I saw our relationship and why I think you personally should vote for me. 

I have no delusion that we were equals. Every time we were together you held a position of power over me, in a duo with Kyoko.  I have a lot of faith in my ability to survive but if you'd wanted me out I would have been in deep shit. I wasn't worried about you targetting me because we had a longstanding relationship, but I did have to make sure you would decide it was worth it to fight for me. I was fine with this position because I was friends with your friends. When it became clear how much you valued Gundham I assumed he would get far and adjusted my thoughts accordingly. I didn't always agree to your plans and I didn't tell you everything. You had a lot going on and you didn't trust me with everything. I'd call it more a relationship of respect that we would play the game out and the things we wanted were to our mutual benefit.

Despite that I knew I had a better chance to win then you. Power inverts itself the longer the game goes. All the things that gave you power became reasons everyone wanted you all out. It didn't matter how much anyone liked you. Friendship itself became the reason to vote you, people liked you too much. I don't know if you realized how dire your position was. I felt you didn't because you seemed to think Gundham was on your side when the F5 started. I knew the least about what Gundham and Mikan actually wanted to do, so I felt more comfortable if you were still there. But on top of that? I wanted to see your torchwalks. I thought you were right that you deserved a chance to win the game. I didn't want to tell you nothing you did for me mattered. That's the respect I think you deserved. They're right that I wanted to vote you in the F4, but I also had an existential crisis over whether I should give you an idol so who knows what you could have talked me into. 

So if you're going to vote for me, well you can pick any reason really. I will accept your vote in any currency exchange. My pitch would be that I didn't let the game blind me into treating my closest friends like statistics.

Hey boys <3 I made spontaneous plans last night, so I'm sorry I disappeared. I should be pretty intoxicated today, so who knows what I'll say. Probably a good time to convince me to vote for you

Anyways, these will take a minute, but I'm around and working on them

My last question is for all of you, but I'd like to say that idoling out Mikan instead of Akane at F6 has been on my mind a lot lately lol 

Thank you for answering this honestly <3

My last question for all 3 of you is:

If you were going to vote here, which of the other 2 would you vote for and why? And then give me one sentence on why you'd vote for yourself anyways

Celestia, you realize that ibuki asked that, right?

Alright so instead of that question, which I'm sure the mods will let me cross out, you all tell me your favorite thing about me? I feel like I've had all my questions answered by reading all the other threads playing catch up this morning, but you guys were cool and I liked you a lot so say nice things to me.

You

A
