I steal the Sandwich out of boredom-and to prove that I'm awesome.

I appear in front of you and point out that there are still two days before Ookla season. 

[Unintelligenius he/him]

I appear in front of you and point the other direction and everyone turns around so no one notices when I take the Sandwich from @Ookla the Intelligent

[NerdSandwich she/her]

Read my status update pls!

Sorry for the confusion.

I hire no one-again-and he gives me the Sandwich.

I steal the Sandwich after creating a massive black hole distraction.

The Maw eats the distortion

Sure

It re-counteroffers 4 seats and becoming a drafter of 2 colors. 

I say that I cannot give 4 seats, because there are only 7 plus the Prism, and the Prism is not here, so it would be a majority.

2 seats and a drafter of 7 colours, plus Lightsplitting, and it gets to be acting Prism until Named returns from TLT, so it actually has 3 seats.

The Maw 6 goes and steals the Sandwich for me.

The sandcaterpillar thinks about this for a moment and then agrees on the condition that you explain whatever the heck drafting and Lightsplitting is, spitting you back up. 

[NerdSandwich she/her]

I, being fed up with the Maw 6, distract it by talking about paradoxes while no one goes and steals the Sandwich. no one gives the Sandwich to me.

No one Jr. is fedup with his fathers unloyalty to me so he grabs the Sandwich and hands it to me.

[NerdSandwich she/her]

no one is very dismayed at the betrayal of his son No one Jr., so he murders No one Jr., steals the Sandwich from you, and gives the Sandwich to me.

Everyone is disappointed in the actions of their peers, so leaves the ruins of Tell's castle and attacks No one.

I thank the sandcaterpillar and ask it which two seats it would like, other than the Prism seat.

"There's Subred (infared), Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Superviolet (ultraviolet).

The sandcaterpillar says it would like Orange and Green, for reasons only it can know.

Named and 18142 appeared in a starship. 

"Well, this is a bad time, isn't it?" Named said as 18142 took off again, headed to Trisolaris. "I'll just be the Blue for now. I'll take the Prism later."

The Seven Satrapies government:

Prism: Sandcaterpillar

White: Sentiend Chull Person

Black: Maw 6

Subred: Maw 6

Red: Trout

Orange: Sandcaterpillar

Yellow: No one

Green: Sandcaterpillar

Blue: Named

Superviolet: No one

Sentient Chull Person called a Spectrum meeting.

"Who should fill the missing seats?" They say.

The Prism and the 7 Colours get one vote each, and to appoint someone, you need a majority. The White gets a vote only in a tie, and the Black normally doesn't get a vote, but the Maw 6 is also the Subred so it does.

The sandcaterpillar, who had just arbitrarily been named Harper, suggests nominating the sandwich in honor of its lost sentience.

I raise my hand and ask if I can be Superviolet. As everyone is distracted, I nab the Sandwich through cool and totally legal means.

[Ink and Embers Any pronouns]

I offer to fill a seat.

Spoiler

With custard.

I point to a sign that says "no stealing through cool and totally legal means" and arrest you. 

[Ink and Embers Any pronouns]

I point to a sign that says "No arresting" and arrest you.

[Through The Living Ash he/him]

I point out the really really tiny print on that same sign that says "Unless Ash is doing the arresting."

[Ink and Embers Any pronouns]

I scribble out all three signs with a sharpie.

You must convince the Spectrum people before they vote

I say you also must convince the Spectrum that custard deserves to be Superviolet more than @Uninteligenius

I tell the Spectrum that the only rational decision would be to elect me to be Superviolet. I say all of this in a very rational, even voice.
