Wolf Post

[This room looks exactly like the rooms you're sharing privately with your teams, but the meager spread now includes a number of completely raw meats. And, in addition to the impression of rules you received in your team rooms, you're also keenly aware of a final one just for you:

Any attempt to reveal your role in the game to another team will result not only in your own execution, but the execution of another team as well. The game must stay balanced, after all.]

[Although it is not present, some heroes may have the distinct impression of Jabberwock smiling viciously down on them.]

We're voting ourselves out.

Why!?

The knight that is with me doesn't want to play the role of wolf any longer and I will not force him to do so.

Who?!

[...]

You'll find out when Sapphire dies.

You are not getting out of this that easily!

Who put you up to that?! Why did you go along with it?!

...I made a vow to a friend who is very dear to me and I broke that vow. My reasons are my own.

Your friend? What does that have to do with anything?!

Don't you think Tiger's Eye are very dear friends to me? Do you think you are the only person who couldn't keep their word every time they gave it?!

[...]

[that...actually hit a sore spot.]

Listen, Selenia! You have been in Aather long enough, you cannot claim ignorance of how to handle death games from inexperience! However, I am going to give you my own advice, which you can ignore or use as you see fit:

Who you are is who you are. Games are games.

If you let what these sorts of games force you to do bleed into your soul, then there is no help for you! You will be trapped in a never-ending cycle of trying to atone for sins that are not even yours!

Whatever good you hoped to achieve with this action is going to instead all but assuredly hand the sheep the victory. Carnelian and whatever teams we are forced to choose will die before the game is over. And that is your own sin, because you chose to do it and the persona did not force you.

[...listens to her quietly and opens his mouth to speak.]

[stops. then simply nods.]

I understand.

Then tell me what it is you will do.

...Sapphire's knight and I will talk about where to place our vote. I'll personally apologize to Tiger's Eye and any other team that dies because of my actions in this game.

Is that all?

Do you intend to play the game, or continue trying to get yourself eliminated?

...We'll be eliminating ourselves. It's too late to back down on that.

Then you don't understand.

Then explain to me what sort of plan will bring us back from the brink of elimination.

That plan does not exist. We now have two options: we go back to playing the game like it is a game, or we give ourselves away and end it.

[i can defend myself]

No one's coming out of this game with clean hands. Not us, not the teams playing as the sheep, no one. So, who cares if the sheep win? If that's your biggest concern, instead of how to make this game as short as possible, you have bigger problems.

So leave him alone.

I don't recognize you. Who are you, and how long have you been here?

Don't ignore what I said.

I'm Mako and I've been here for 3 weeks.

Here's a question then.

If you wanted to just throw the game, why not say directly to them that you are a wolf?

Because then someone would die that didn't have to.

[you're just getting A Look]

It's the same result. If you are eliminated tonight, someone will still die from us choosing them. You are saving absolutely no one!

You just want to selfishly convince yourself you can not participate without taking the consequences!
