Team Post: Kunzite

[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 is gonna SUCK.]

[surefire]

... How cheery...

[shednotearsformagic]

I suppose that would explain the moths. Give us more insight on who might be the wolves.

[surefire]

I guess. We're going to need as much information as we can get.

[shednotearsformagic]

Most likely. It's hard to tell suspicious for only a short time.

...are there any teams you absolutely don't want to ever pick?

[surefire]

[a long pause, then without wavering:]

I plan to play to win. There aren't any teams I wouldn't vote on if I felt it was the right choice.

[shednotearsformagic]

...

Unfortunately I can't say the same.

There's a defined line I'm trying not to cross for the sake of my own personal desires, so I can never vote for Coral or Citrine. Or rather, certain people on those teams and sadly they were at the gathering.

[surefire]

[sighs]

I'm not saying to vote on anyone you wouldn't want to without very solid reason to... But this isn't really just a matter of personal desires. A lot of people are going to die in this game, and even more if we don't aim to wrap it up as quickly as possible.

[shednotearsformagic]

[Other people...]

I know people are going to die. It's unavoidable.

But I can't vote on them, even if I know for certain it's them. Though...if it was them, and they survive the first round, it'd be very obvious.

[And yet managing to sound pretty apathetic as she stares at the table.]

[surefire]

Hey. Want to break down the information we've got so far?

[shednotearsformagic]

[Nods.]

It's not much.

[surefire]

Much better than yesterday... Or it would be. Unfortunately, the suspicion voting was such a fiasco that I can't really make heads or tails of it. So that's one vital piece of information shot. If I could tell who were the most last-minute votes on us, at least, that'd be pretty helpful...

But we have the voting on the ousting. It's something to go on, at least.

[shednotearsformagic]

We were definitely the last vote on Heliodor. But yes, most of it was confusing...

And we don't even get to know if Heliodor was definitely wolves or sheep.

[surefire]

Last to vote on Heliodor... And you said, at the time, Heliodor was tied with us? So we had 3, they had 3. Is that right?

We don't. But it's still possible to make guesses based on what we know... Again, this would be a hell of a lot easier with valid suspicion votes. [runs a hand through her hair] I can't tell if Turquoise's stupid is sheep stupid or wolf stupid, but if it really is sheep stupid they're pretty naive if they think they did anyone favors with their stunt.

[shednotearsformagic]

Correct. Ruby was also four at the time. Then they went down to three and we were up to five suddenly.

I thought so too. There was no reason to lie to us except to make sure we didn't vote on Ruby. But it's not like we had a definite opinion either way.

[surefire]

... I'm really curious about when Emerald's vote came in during suspicion... I don't think they mentioned it. I wonder if I should just ask.

Lying to us was pretty stupid. All we did was nod our head and continue voting the way we would've anyway, so I'm not sure what they think they were gauging.

[shednotearsformagic]

It might not hurt.

They are rather suspicious. And that boy was oddly insistent on how Coral might be lying to us.

[surefire]

[voice seems tense, with a bit of a crack in composure]

How... how do we want to vote... Personally, I think Turquoise is the more likely of the two...

[shednotearsformagic]

[Is a bit more calm. Feelings kind of helped ground her, funny that. Still not GOOD, but better than before.]

They're both rather suspicious now. Turquoise deliberately lied to us, but ultimately their lie didn't have a real affect on the votes.

But Carnelian was awfully insistent on us even though the wolf from our clue was already brought down.

[surefire]

Not Carnelian, just Alena... I don't find Tohsaka untrustworthy, and Alena's logic is just plain bad. They don't seem to be in agreement either.

[shednotearsformagic]

[...is that why you look like you're going to crack?]

Alena did seem the type to talk without thinking.

And Turquoise was still insistent Ruby wasn't wolves, but Sapphire was and had Ruby vote for them? [Or something, it was really confusing...]

[Paaaaaause.] If Ruby were the wolves though...and they did have to at least try to play to win....Turquoise didn't want us voting for Ruby.

[surefire]

... Turquoise's behavior has been much stranger. I really don't think Carnelian could be wolves, based on how they've voted... They voted on Ruby, and Heliodor, in positions where their vote could've made a real difference. One of those is a wolf team. I see little reason for them to do that if they're also wolves.

[shednotearsformagic]

[They did move from Kunzite because of someone who had to have talked to you since no Carnelians talked to her...]

Unless Turquoise and Carnelian worked on a lie together, Carnelian did have to be a vote on Ruby. But that seems unlikely with Carnelian having communication issues, it'd get too messy.

So of the two Turquoise is the most suspicious.

[surefire]

Should I go place our vote, then?

[shednotearsformagic]

[Nods.] Yes.
