Team Post: Carnelian

[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 wolves]

[uh oh...]

[gemuine]

Well, first I guess we decide how we want to play this.

[fighting_alena]

Not only are we in a kill game, but we're also supposed to do the killing!?

We'll be lucky if all that happens after we come out of this game are hurt feelings!

[gemuine]

That's what we have to decide how we're going to do this! People are going to die so we better accept it and move on!

[fighting_alena]

Right... we can't throw the game or anything.

That was tried before, it didn't end well for them.

[gemuine]

Ah, sorry I was busy -- did you already vote?

[fighting_alena]

I voted for Ruby...

They're asking for us to explain the votes.

[gemuine]

Well, why did you pick Ruby?

[fighting_alena]

Because Heliodor is the other wolf team!

...but obviously I can't say that, so let's think up a lie.

I thought Heliodor was not suspicious, so it was a toss up between Ruby and Kunzite? I know Thorn and I talked with him, and I genuinely thought he wasn't suspicious.

[fighting_alena]

Wait, no.

I voted Ruby, then someone switched to Heliodor, then I switched to Kunzite, then others switched to Kunzite, so I switched back to Ruby. Should I say that?

[gemuine]

Ah, jeez . . .

[fighting_alena]

Is it just the two of us?

[gemuine]

I don't see anyone else.

[fighting_alena]

I don't know if that's better or worse.

[gemuine]

[ s-sigh ]

Better, I think.

... [...wishing she could forget the smell of burning flesh right now] [http://aather.dreamwidth.org/572096.html?thread=455352768#cmt455352768]

[dramatispersonae]

I forgot for a moment . . . you may speak to the other wolves here, if you wish.

[fighting_alena]

...

[gemuine]

[ . . . sounds pretty tired ]

Are you talking to anyone privately? I keep thinking . . . maybe I should but I don't even know who to approach.

[fighting_alena]

I was talking with Coral.

And I'm thinking I should invite Turquoise in for a talk.

[gemuine]

We should have eaten Iolite . . . [ mostly to herself ]

Why them . . .?

[gemuine]

. . . we're in a bad spot.

[fighting_alena]

[SO MANY EMOTIONS, but deal with them later]

...we need to vote Kunzite.

[gemuine]

. . . listen to Riku. They want to deal with the clue that was given today . . . we can agree to do that too. If we're playing to win then -- that's voting for Emerald, isn't it . . .

[fighting_alena]

[shakes her head] If the sheep vote out Emerald today, there's no guarantee they'll vote out Turquoise tomorrow.

We can convince them that voting out Kunzite guarantees there's only one wolf.
