Okay.
One sleep later, I'm sane again.
I do not like the cut-down votes. The purpose of this vote is not to tell Mami this stuff in as short a time as possible, nor is it to tell her that we want to stay. The purpose is to give her a complete and honest answer to her question, going in order of importance as the vote progresses. Most important reason for why we didn't tell her? Kyubey. Second most important reason? We couldn't stomach it. Third most? Disorientation following the alley.
If Mami is concerned about us leaving her, we'll address that somehow. Because if that's the case, she just won't want to leave us anyway and we can keep talking. We'll run through a full answer to her question, and if she doesn't ask another, then we'll tell her about how we want to stay. @Agent Whiskers.
This may not be the best way to do it. Some bits of this don't even flow the way I just said. But... A couple things leapt out at me last night. First, "too many cooks" and "this is your" bandwagon. This is only the second time I've been involved in crafting a vote anywhere, and my first bandwagon on top of that. I shouldn't have broken things up last night, I should have just kept editing the vote I had instead of... Unleashing mass chaos, basically. And I'm sorry for that. And if what I'm doing or saying now is wrong, I'm sorry for that, too.
So.
[X] Continue to cleanse our own soul gem every time it gets above 10%. If at any time Mami's soul gem is getting moderately full ask if she wants us to cleanse it. If she says no, ask her to get a grief seed. If she says no and refuses to get a grief seed, ask again with additional emphasis and break to voting if she refuses again.
[X] At first, because Kyubey couldn't know. I felt that I didn't have a choice. Maybe I could have tried harder, done better, I don't know -- I didn't really have a perfect grip on things at the time, either, after waking up in the alley. And then later, when he was gone... I've considered you a friend since the moment we met, Mami. But you became more. When Kyubey left -- maybe I should have told you then. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. I knew that because I'd kept it from you, it would hurt you, and I couldn't stand that. Not then.
-[X] Break back to voting if Mami interjects
-[X] If she doesn't interject, then give her a little bit, and continue with:
[X] Eventually, that was why I told you, also. I want to stay with you, Mami. And from the moment that I recognized that, I've known that I would have to tell you. How could I stay with you without telling you?
