Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-32558333-20180208010933/@comment-30700719-20180208221128

I stared in shock at the TV screen. Quite literally an entire town hinged on my decision. Now, if I could anonymously submit it, then I'd be fine. However, I'd been identified, and that meant that whoever I didn't vote for would come packing. I decided to flip a coin. Simple as that. In front of the crowd, I'd flip a coin. They'd know that it was the coin itself that determined the political winners, not for any reason of my own. Of course I knew that they wouldn't be able to take this, and they would still come with guns blazing. I sighed and grabbed the largest coin I had, which actually happened to be a bottle cap. I strode out onto the balcony. Heads turned, some readied weapons. "Listen! This election is currently 50/50, right?" I heard a bunch of yeahs, along with the occasional, "Don't let us down!" from somewhere in the crowd. I held out the bottle cap. "I'll keep this 50/50, then. Heads or tails?" A cacophony of noise rang out, and I held my hands up for silence. "You! And you!" I yelled, pointing at the two leaders, a Lilim and a Paladin. The Paladin yelled from behind his helm, "If it lands blue side up, then we shall earn your vote!" The Lilim shouted equally as loud, "If it lands pink side up, then we shall prevail with your vote!" I courteously bowed to each. "Thank you. Now, I flip." I nestled the cap onto my thumb and flicked.

The bottle cap flew through the air, somersaulting again and again. Time slowed down. The cap slowly went backwards...landing back on the balcony with a ping!. I turned to watch it as it fell off the balcony, falling to the ground. All eyes were riveted on the tiny thing...people pushed and shoved to catch it...aaand it fell right into a drain. The entire crowd froze for a second, mouths agape. Then all hell broke loose.

I dove back inside and slammed the balcony door shut as a Griffin slammed into the tempered glass, sending tiny cracks shooting through it. I run and lock myself into my bedroom, thinking it over. Logically, the mayor of the Monster Girl City would be a monster girl. Plus, I'd probably be instantly secured by their party, to stop the Order from hunting me down. However, the Order would probably do twice the job of defending me. I slam my hand to my chin and ponder.

'And so, on the third day, he proclaimed:

"Fuck it, monsters win"

And it was so.'
