Team Post: Iolite

[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]

[sigh]

This game again.

[dormancy]

And we're together again~.

[playfreebird]

I can deal with that.

[dormancy]

You have some experience with it. So, anything of note so far?

[playfreebird]

Nothing to mention. I've spoken some with Cass, Sakura and Echo, and someone on Tiger's Eye. There's not much to discuss yet.

Otherwise, keeping an eye on things.

[dormancy]

Well, I'll keep my head down and let you take care of the masses. Try to balance with me if you can . . . ? Echo, Ariel, and Beatrice are among the few who have a fair reading of me, so we shouldn't keep our cards all in one hand, so to speak.

[playfreebird]

It would be strange for me to be too outgoing, and I don't know Beatrice well, but I think I can manage that.

[dormancy]

You know what I meant.

Now then, it looks the game has become more interesting. Tell me: What team do you think will struggle as a wolf? Who would try to end the game as quickly as possible?

[dormancy]

Ruby~.

Kunzite~.

Let the games begin . . .

[dormancy]

And Peridot.

[dormancy]

Neji, I'm curious . . . How is Sakura handling herself? Lying and so on aside?

[playfreebird]

...She has been better.

[dormancy]

Caving under pressure to play, I assume.

[playfreebird]

[crossing his arms over his chest, thinking]

You could say that.

[dormancy]

Mmm . . . Especially with someone like Selenia in her ear. It would be hard not to crack.

Neji, I'm getting tired of this game.

[playfreebird]

That is an impression I get.

[sigh]

That isn't surprising, either.

[dormancy]

Would you say we got a wolf last night? Haha, I wonder if Sapphire would be so kind as to confirm it . . .

[playfreebird]

...Under other circumstances, I would say their actions lean toward confirmation. Unless they're the kind of people who would let their dramatics draw the game out longer.

However with Turquoise's behavior, and their own actions being what they are... it's difficult to say. I would say that there's a better chance of it than we might have.

[dormancy]

Jabberwock, I would like an apology. You know that this game would have been wonderful, were Beatrice and I, allowed to take the reins.

[dramatispersonae]

The ssselection wasss unfortunately random.

[dormancy]

Oh, you know you damned yourself in the last game with that. Take a hand in creating your own bloodshed, unless you find such spineless cowards throwing the game away enticing.

[dramatispersonae]

I have created the playing board. I have placcced the toolssss in your handssss. I have created what I may create. What thessse foolsss do with it isss up to them.

[dormancy]

And they've made a very fine mess of it. I'm still interested, however. Shall we play a different game? Mm, in private . . . ?

[dramatispersonae]

What sssort of a game . . . ?

[dormancy]

I'd like to guess our wolves, then excuse myself from this mess. Really, my patience has worn thin from all of these children at play . . .
