Team Post: Emerald

[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, this isn't good...

[itsalluseless]

This is about as far from good as it gets.

[twilight_boy]

So, what do we do?

[itsalluseless]

I guess we'll have to vote for someone...

[twilight_boy]

Clue says Ruby, Heliodor or Kunzite. Do you know anyone on those teams well?

[itsalluseless]

I know someone on Kunzite. She said they're not wolves, but... [shrug] Isn't that what anyone would say?

[twilight_boy]

Unless the team decides to throw the game, yeah. Pretty much.

From what I can tell, Heliodors are straightforward kinds of guys. They wouldn't be good at lying if they had to, at least.

[itsalluseless]

I talked with someone on Ruby the other day. He seemed pretty straightforward too.

[twilight_boy]

Which one was it?

[itsalluseless]

...I don't think I asked his name, actually. The one with a scar on his face.

[twilight_boy]

I think I know who you mean. I don't really know him, though.

[itsalluseless]

He didn't seem like he'd be much good at lying.

[twilight_boy]

That's good.

[itsalluseless]

Yeah. The best scenario would be if all three wolf teams were bad at lying.

[twilight_boy]

Bad at lying or trying to lose.

[itsalluseless]

...Yeah. But we can't really expect that when losing means dying.

[twilight_boy]

No, we can't.

[itsalluseless]

...Ahh, this is such a pain. And we're going to have to put up with it for days...

[twilight_boy]

...Yeah, it could be five days at the worst.

[itsalluseless]

Let's hope it doesn't go on that long.

[twilight_boy]

[rakes a hand through his hair and starts pacing]

[itsalluseless]

...What are we going to do?

[twilight_boy]

I'd say we wait as long as we can before we vote for anyone. Unless you think that's a bad idea.

[itsalluseless]

I don't have any better ideas. Let's wait.

[twilight_boy]

And until then, can you think of what kinds of things we could ask, if we got to talk to those teams in private?

[itsalluseless]

I'll try to think of something.

[twilight_boy]

Thanks. I'm sorry I'm no good at this.

[itsalluseless]

Don't worry about it. It's not like we've been given much to go on.

[twilight_boy]

We really haven't.
