Repetition Repetition

Now for the judging, says Graceful. Who votes for number one?

(Number one was Quiet-Tartus, with gree-uh gree-uh etc)

Me, says Terence.

Me, says Gaius.

That's two votes for number one, says Graceful. Who votes for number two?

(Number two was a ninja, ruuurk, ruurk)

Me, says Wittgenstein. 

Me, says Letitia.

Two votes for number two, says Graceful. Is anyone writing this down?

I'll do it, says Katherine.

She takes a small notebook from her raincoat pocket.

Torch? says Katherine.

Here you are, says Letitia.

Who votes for number three? asks Graceful.

(Number three, the second ninja).

Can we hear it again? asks Wittgenstein.

No, sorry, says Graceful.

Not me then, says Wittgenstein.

You've voted already, says Gaius.

But they were the same, says Wittgenstein.

Same noise, different frog, says Letitia.

Anyone? asks Graceful.

Me, says Roo-kai.

And lastly, says Graceful, who votes for number four?

Me, says Katherine.

Now, please add up the scores, says Graceful.  

Three all , says Katherine. Assuming the middle two contestants were ninjas.

We were, say the ninjas.

All that for nothing, says Graceful. 

Were your eyes closed? asks Gaius.

Yes, they were, says Graceful.

Then you have the deciding vote, says Gaius.

Too late, says Letitia. The ninjas revealed their position.

Another draw! says Terence. This is BORING.

I could have told you it would be, says Graceful. Now if Emerald and Common were here, we'd have a real competition.

We are here, says Emerald. We've been listening.

Do your noises, says Terence.

Scrook...scrook... scrook... skrook, goes Graceful.

Crark, crark, crark, goes Emerald Spotted.

Donk... donk.. donk, goes Green Common.

How wonderful! says Letitia. Would you all mind doing it again. I'd love to record it.

The frogs don't mind in the slightest. They do it again.
