(Hi @payten17 :D
Should we vote when the Lixi-Enzo-Xander alliance decides who they’ll vote out?)

(Not yet, but I’ll do so now)
John nodded his head, walking into the voting booth like walking into a battlefield. With confidence laced by utter terror, he entered a name and walked out gravely.

Paige leaned on a wall, helpless without John for support. I want to die still, but I'd loose him. John, why did you have to make this infinitly harder…

John walked over to Paige, taking a deep breath. He at least needed to get her out of this. John leaned against the wall next to her. He thought she looked worried, “We’re going to get out of this. I promise,” It was a hefty promise, one that he probably couldn’t keep. But he desperately wanted to get her out. John needed to.

"Please don't make promises that you can't keep…" Paige whispered, tears closing her vision.

John’s hand found hers and he looked her right in the eyes, “We’re going to make it out,” He repeated and he held her close. This vote… It was retched. Because if Enzo and Lixi approached Xander and made an alliance… It could be Paige or River or him. And then the two left would be doomed. John couldn’t let that happen. So if he died… he knew what his last words would be.

Paige could feel the stress dragging down on her shoulders. She wasn't made for this amount of pressure. "I don't know what to do," she whispered faintly into his shirt. Before the last hour, she was sure of her death. Now…

Xander stumbled out of the kitchen, looking on the verge of breaking down again. "God… I don't… I'm sick of playing this game, and I might as well just vote for myself until I die," he murmured angrily under his breath. He stared at the voting booth, which practically loomed over him. Xander went in, cast his vote quickly, then exited, making sure to knock over a vase once he came out of the booth. He searched the house for a pen and paper, then sat down in the living room, writing down his unfinished business, the names and phone numbers of his family members, and then the makings of a simple will on the back.

River walked into the voting booth and entered her vote. im sorry she thought. She left the booth and walked over to John and paige

Enzo grimaced as he made his way back to the lounge. "Voting for himself," he repeated, picking at the skin around his nails. With a sigh, he headed into the voting booth, cast his vote, and then returned, his face unreadable.

John nodded to Lixi in greeting and then sighed. The vote would probably be revealed soon…

(Crap hold on.)
Lixi took a deep breath as she walked into the booth and put on her vote, she tooked ragged breathes as she walked out. I'm sorry.
