[ Currently, Ritsuka doesn't look like she's having a great time, but she's at least steady on her feet as she lifts a hand. ]

I've been thinking about this, and I've got a suggestion--the rules say "no abstaining," but there's nothing that says that you have to make both of the choices. If we just vote on a team to lower, and leave out any option to raise anyone, we're not technically abstaining.

I don't really know what's going to happen if we try it. Maybe we'll end up in trouble, or maybe it'll be fine... maybe it'll backfire on another team. But in my opinion, it's not that much more of a gamble than just randomly picking a team to raise, and probably the safest time to do it would be now, in the first round.

I know Saturn is against it, and that's fine. But we're a full house today, so I think we should put it up for a vote. Either we just avoid raising anyone this round and see what happens, or we pick... let's say Yatagarasu. And see where it goes from there.

And if it comes down to personal consequences, I'm willing to take responsibility, since it was my idea.
