Team Post: Ruby

[dramatispersonae]

[The room you step into is bare and depressing. Gray, damp stone walls, a dusty and worn table, a few candles providing dim light . . . There is, at least, a meager spread of bread, cheese, and meat laid out on the table. A pitcher of water and a few glasses are set upon it as well.]

[Most notworthy as you enter the room, however, is the sudden implicit understanding of the rules of the game:

1. There are 13 teams, and 3 among them are "wolves". That is, 3 specific teams will be choosing another team to "eat" each night. The team that is selected to be eaten will be killed.
2. Each day, every team must participate in the poll to decide who among them is the most suspicious; the most likely to be one of the wolf teams that is eating someone each night.
3. The two teams chosen as the most suspicious each day will be put up together in a poll for everyone to discuss and vote on. Teams are to vote for who they believe to be the most suspicious between the two, and the team selected as the most suspicious will be executed.
4. Any attempt to save those being put to death will be severely punished.
5. Although the ultimate goal is to find the 3 "wolf" teams, that is not the only way to win memories. This particular rule is left somewhat vague, but there is the impression that Jacobi and Jabberwock will be considering other factors as well . . .

You also are aware of the fact that your team are sheep]

[oh fuck this game]

Shit.

[tsunbender]

[steps inside, and then freezes]

What?

[pchaaair]

This isn't going to be a good game, at all.

[tsunbender]

No.

. . . Is it just the two of us?

[pchaaair]

. . . I haven't seen anyone else, so probably, yeah.

[tsunbender]

We aren't all here at least.

[pchaaair]

That's-- yeah. I think I am pretty glad about that, now.

[Even if he really wants everyone but it's better they aren't here. :(]

[tsunbender]

[He also wants everyone but . . . yeah . . . the premise that they'll probably die no matter what is kind of depressing.]

So I guess we're going to be here for a while, right?

[pchaaair]

[it's better this way.]

It-- really looks like it, yeah. And while we are here, it is going to suck a lot.

[tsunbender]

They should've given us something more comfortable, though. If they . . . want us to play.

[pchaaair]

I-- really don't think Jabberwock cares, at all.

[tsunbender]

Yeah. I know.

[SITS DOWN BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO OUT JUST YET]

[pchaaair]

[YOU KNOW WHAT

sitting down too, with his face down on the table with his head on his arms.]

This sucks.

DAY 2

[tsunbender]

[still sort of shaking]

From what Riku told me, I think we'll be up against Kunzite this time. Coral will vote against us.

Re: DAY 2

[pchaaair]

[kinda shaking, too, and when he gets in he's instantly sitting at the table with his face on his arms again.]

I-- Coral will vote against us? That would mean that... they think we're wolves, and I wouldn't be surprised after what happened during the ousting, if that is what they thought.

[tsunbender]

[sitting next to Tavros, just tensing his hands]

I wouldn't trust ourselves either. The only thing in our favor is Iolite and Citrine, if they actually trust us.

[pchaaair]

[sits up and leans on :(]

I wouldn't trust us either, because that was a mess. I want to know why Turquoise wouldn't go for us, though, in the case that they were wolves.

[tsunbender]

[also leaning on ;;]

Maybe because we would be likely to trust them.

[pchaaair]

... Maybe.

And Torrent did mention the word 'manipulation' at one point, to me.

[tsunbender]

. . . What did he say, exactly?

[pchaaair]

... "It seems less manipulative if they think you did it on your own."

[tsunbender]

. . . Right.

If they're wolves, it means they need to die for the game to end quickly.

[pchaaair]

... Yeah. I'm really not sure what I think about them, right now-- or, if we should even mention what Iolite said at all.

[tsunbender]

. . . Maybe we should keep the details to ourselves for now. I'm more willing to trust Citrine.

[pchaaair]

... Yeah. I am, too, at this point.
