I hope I've covered that with the line...

Alexander is the sample vote I have provide you sufficient information on the floral arrangement & our explanation to Sona? Do you want any additional details?

Sounds good to me.
 
In that case I change my vote to the following. As it's based on work by Silversun & Smuthunter I ask that if you vote for it, don't vote [] Plan megrisvernin
[X]Plan Upfront

[X] [First Presence Excellency + Irresistible Salesman Spirit+ Channel Compassion]

"Okay, first I want to lay everything on the table. I know you're both devils, and I'm pretty sure Rias has told you about what I've been up to in the last week or two. Right?"

(If they respond in the negative then tell them about Tomofuri's temple and the fertility charms)

"But there's a catch: Tomofuri-san needs more worship in order to have enough power to make all the talismans that the devils will need. To get that power he needs more people worshiping at his temple, so we need to "advertise" for him, so to speak. Now, obviously I can't go around saying things like "Hey, how would you like to get pregnant more easily!" But Tomofuri-san's charms also work on plants and animals. So I thought, 'Let's plant some flowers around the school with charms placed near them and let the rumor mill do the advertising for us!' With your permission kaichou, I believe I can get the ball rolling on something that will be of great benefit to devil society as a whole, and also make the school grounds look nicer at the same time!"

2 die stunt

You pause for a moment taking in nervous tension evident in the three before you. Briefly you considered starting slow, beginning with the shrine & trying to avoid the issue of devils & the supernatural all together unless Sona brought it up. From the discomfort evident on their faces, though, you feared if you seemed slippery or deceptive in answering her, Sona would quickly dismiss anything else you had to say.

Giving them what you thought was your best disarming smile, you gave your pitch deciding to error on the side of honesty.

As you gave your impassioned plea, you tried to gauge their reaction. Relying on your perception & wit you decided to modify the speech on the fly if they didn't seem receptive to your arguments.

Floral Display

[] The Flower bed would be made in a ring around the fountain with small cobblestone pathways allowing students to walk through it. the flowers would be devdied into four sections, two sections would have flowers matching to colors favored by the Sitri family and two would have the colors favored by the Gremory family; Marking both families' connection with school. Charms promoting the growth of the flowers would be placed in each section. The particular arrangement & choice of flowers you would leave to those more knowledgeable about what would grow well in local conditions. If there's a flower or gardening club in Kuoh perhaps you could consult with them.
 
I like the first part of the suggested vote , it deals with our revalations to Sona quite reasonably.

Regarding the floral arrangement though , can we skip the house colours part? It sounds a bit unnecessarily political to me. Why bring them up at all? It's not like we are here on behalf on the Gremory family , or we are negotiating with the Sitri family. Under all the supernatural trappings , we are simply a student who is approaching the Student Council President with a request. Besides , were their house colours ever mentioned in the novels? I can't seem to remember them.

I would suggest keeping the arrangement same , but going with flowers that are simply aesthetically pleasing and their blooming periods covers all the seasons between them. If we are to go with four different flowers , I'd recommend-
1) Dahlia (Summer)
2)Chrysanthemum (Fall/Winter)
3)Tulips (Spring)
4)Dianthus (All season bloom)
 
[Common Sense]: Brandark's flowers idea is better.

I've modified the vote. Let me know if the above plan needs further refinement(suggest changes)
 
[Common Sense]: The first part is still a little casual, but it's in character for Issei.
 
This look good to me, formality was never Ise's thing anyway. We can just bulldoze through with sheer Charisma anyway. Everyone else agree ?

Okay , so how about this , then?
"Before I begin , I must ask , Did Rias ever mention anything about me to you?"
If the answer is negative , then ,
"I see. So , allow me to inform you that I am aware of the fact that both of you are devils , and also of the supernatural world , by and large."

The rest remains unchanged.

The tone is good. Remember though that Rias doesn't know that we know Sona is a devil. We learned that from Abe Kiyome who Rias isn't aware we've spoken too. Even if they were in communication, Sona would still think we were likely unaware of her status.

I've changed my mind. We should be a bit more formal.

That's why I used Rias' first name. In Japan , addressing someone by their first name implies a great degree of familiarity . Ordinary students are not likely to do that , they worship Rias from a distance as their Onee-sama. So Sona is likely to assume that anyone who knows Rias that well and also knows of a connection between her and Rias may have a chance of knowing their real status , and approach the subject accordingly.

I'm not opposed to this rewording. How do we bring up the subject of Tomofuri-san?

Are you suggesting wording like...

"Before I begin , I must ask , Did Rias ever mention anything about me to you? & about what've been doing for her over the past few weeks?
If the answer is negative , then ,
"I see. So , allow me to inform you that I am aware of the fact that both of you are devils , and also of the supernatural world , by and large. Recently I was able to assist a Kami in reestablishing his shrine. In exchange he's been providing charms which can enhance fertility including for devils.

"But there's a catch....: !"[/i]

Let's leave the Tomofuri-san part unchanged. I am imagining the scene something like this : Issei wants to impress the Kaichou who is known as a strict and formal person , so he adopts a formal tone when beginning the talks. But as he continues to speak , he unconsciously drops the unnatural formal tone in favour of a more natural , enthusiastic one.

This makes a perfect balance between a suitable , formal beginning and Issei's normal way of talking , I think.

Edit: Yes , the latest one works for me.

'What I've been doing for her' sounds better than 'what I have been up to'. We did a great number of things for Rias and a even greater number of things overall. Let's just give her the relevant bits and avoid unnecessary infodumping.

And thanks for the hard work , megrisvernin. I hope my nitpicking did not bother you too much. :)

I don't mind, I just want to improve it.
 
Okay, I have good news and bad news.

Bad news: I am not feeling well today and will not write anything today.

Good news: hopefully I will feel better tomorrow, so you have more time to prepare a final plan and properly vote for it.

Alexander, signing out. Bye.

Hmm. I'll let people offer feedback on my plans. Let me know what suggestions you have for the casual & formal variants...
 
Don't really have feedback, beyond this:

since this seems like its going to win and its not bad I may as well do the same.

good plan even if she knows about us we are still only a newbie (heh newbie exalt still op) to the supernatural world, so it shouldn't affect ise too much. Might have her thinking of making us part of her peerage though XD

I'm all in favor of impressing Sona. Having her vie to make us part of her peerage will motivate Rias to act. That Rias knew Sona stole stuff from her as a kid is going to make her extra...antsy to add us.
