Beauty Queen smiled at her friend. "Excellent choice. There's no doubt that she'll make a good tap and a brilliant match with you. But--" Her eyes flicked towards Red Dynasty. As secretary it was Red Dynasty's job to record the final list. "Are we definitely choosing her as the first tap? Traditionally, the first tap is an honor reserved for the most promising." She gestured towards the select younger members in attendance. "We should also consider Lucky Strike and Sunrise. This is after all their rightful crop."
"Snowflake is mine," Black Diamond replied decisively, "there are a number of other promising buds for you to sponsor, Ice Cream, but Snowflake is off the table." She gave Ice Cream a leveling look, her expression void of any change in her demeanor, as if she was simply stating what she wanted to eat for breakfast. "Beauty Queen, you know perfectly well you can't sponsor Sunrise or Lucky Strike. But Ice Cream would match well with Lucky Strike, I believe. Red Dynasty, can you please list those at the top of the Crop list so we know which buds to choose first? Besides Snowflake, of course."
"Passionale, Fashion, Baby Doll, Sunrise and Lucky Strike," Red Dynasty recited without using her list as a guide. "There are also a few half bloods that might be worth noting, if necessary."
"Very good. Let's start with those five. I have made my pick of Snowflake, does anyone else object to her being the first Tap? I believe she will bring a lot to our Court as a representative of her Crop. She does not appear to have any animosity towards any of her fellow buds, she is a Pureblood, and there seems to be a very promising chance of a suitable match coming to fruition. Passionale and Lucky Strike both have a tendency to flout authority, Sunrise would not be able to participate in Court, Fashion is known for her intense dislike of just about everyone, and Baby Doll doesn't do enough to integrate herself with other houses. Snowflake is the best choice." Saying her case, Black Diamond let her hands rest on the table in front of her, the slight lift of her eyebrows daring the Diggers to object in the hopes one of their own would become the first Tap.
