The Poll for Jessica

[thebeastwithout]

In lieu of another IC post that retreads the last post, I thought what we could do was have an IC poll to decide what the best thing to do in regards to Jessica would be. There are currently three options, and this is what will be known to all the characters IC:

1) Giorno can revive Jessica with no strings attached and has successfully done so before; however, he has expressed doubts that it will be effective if used long after the death.
2) Nico can revive Jessica by swapping a death for a death. It is uncertain what would happen to the character who volunteers for this.
3) A deal with Yao may almost certainly revive Jessica, but working with them would almost certainly lead to catastrophe.
or of course 4) No attempt should be made to revive Jessica.

There will be threads made for all of the below. Please vote with what your character would want. This means vote with as many characters as you want/who would care/who have an opinion. If your character wouldn't care/doesn't know who Jessica is, simply don't vote - please don't vote 'nothing' if they fall in this category; this option is for people who would argue for it.

Additionally, there will be one more thread for people who would want to sacrifice their lives for Jessica to volunteer.

I'll close the voting in three days, so 1/17/2014 at 7PM EST, at which point we'll talk with Blue to see what the attempt would result in.

Please cast your vote under the appropriate option. Thanks!

EDIT: In light of this this thread, if the consensus is 'nothing', it is highly likely that a group of characters will still attempt the resurrection nonetheless.

No strings! Go for it! Vash is all on board with extra lashings of love and peace.

[expiatrice]

take it from someone who runs bad end lesson corners: there is no good end here

but since she's netted too much responsibility to volunteer for options #2, THIS IS IT

giorno's got this

[encored]

[collateraltsunage]

Wrong account, but Zuko (though dubious) would go for this

[evocalize]

Hey, it's worth a try.

[unbeweevilble]

This is all contingent they can protect her. The chance of a second death is there but her circumstance should not be her death sentence.

[notcutename]

OKAY WELL even if they try to kill her again maybe we can just give her heightened security or something

[crownless]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN DEATH ISNT A WAY OUT THIS TIME FUCK THAT NOISE

last IC flip flop I promise

[antiapocalypse]

/didn't know Jessica personally, but people come back from death and hell dimensions sometimes, no long-term big

would be such a different vote if from season 6

After that thread / the post, Clark couldn't just do nothing in good conscience ;;

[sharpeyedshooter]

It's worth a shot.

This one hurts the least. He chooses this.

Nico's Resurrection

[thebeastwithout]

[ishotyouuu]

[fearguard]

It seems the least likely to fail, right?

[ironlady]

She doesn't think the first way would really be free so. :(

[evocalize]

A life for a life...that's how it always goes.

Deal with Yao

[thebeastwithout]

[weirdatlast]

Is this obvious? This is obvious, right?

[katipo]

[cakeglutton]

[haircutter]

Nico's Resurrection Volunteers

[thebeastwithout]

If your character would want to give up their life to revive Jessica as per Nico's resurrection, simply respond here

[ishotyouuu]

[watchyafeet]

if it comes down to it

[mellowyellow]

Masaomi would volunteer (must be useful, must make a difference!) but not vote.

[evocalize]

Kind of a smaller scale, but he's used to it.

[fearguard]

Must be a day ending in "y".

he will fight you kids on doing it though. LET THE OLD FARTS DIE

Question!

[expiatrice]

JUST WONDERING A FEW THINGS, I know this is an IC thing, but figured it's worth asking--!

1. What's stopping characters from trying with Giorno's way first, and maybe moving on to Nico's if the first way fails? I know this would involve if the first way doesn't backfire spectacularly, but just remarking that I don't think they come off as mutually exclusive, as the options may stand in IC discussion?

2. Consensus. Even if the majority may vote to do nothing/better leave Jessica dead, what's stopping a smaller handful of characters who may be determined in trying to bring her back, even if it may be ignoring/going against the wishes of the majority? IF THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY etc, basic shounen 101. Again depends on the characters, but it could be a thing.

Sorry if this makes things more complicated o\ But thought of these as possibilities!

[thebeastwithout]

1. Nothing really but let's call this the vote to see what to do first and we can play it by ear from there.

2. Also nothing apart from that I wanted everyone to have input on this. If another character would want to do that feel free to go ahead.
