Instructions: I have heard of the games before, wolves and sheep. They didn't seem much fun. This time, it is just a game and perhaps something much quicker. How does this sound—I've picked four teams to be my special foxes. It is their job to work together and stay hidden. The rest of you against them (do I have to call you anything, since you're just normal?) will try to find them within the next three hours.

But to make things more fair, there will be a clue. You see all the teams arranged just so? In each row and each column, there will be only one fox team. That helps, doesn't it? I think it should.

When your team thinks it knows who's a fox, place a vote on them. You have one vote per team, per row. If you have not voted when time runs out, then I won't be able to score you for whether you were right or not...

Foxes will receive points for every team who doesn't vote for them and a large bonus if no fox teams are considered the most suspicious, so it's to their benefit to work together.

The rest of you will get points for guessing right and a large bonus if you get all four teams right.

On the other hand...

There might be some bonuses for other things as well—but it's more fun if you don't know everything, right?

It is a game, so it should be fun.

[uneulogized]

What's with the sour face?

[blackjacked]

. . . this sort of game. Haa. It just brings back bad memories.

[uneulogized]

Finding out who's keeping secrets? It's just talking.

[performing]

[I can see that]

... D'you know anything about the persona running this game?

[blackjacked]

['-']

Kitsune? She's been safe so far.

[performing]

[jiiii]

Then that's the important thing.

[glorious]

[I'm also looking mighty unhappy about all this.]

At least it's only foxes this time.

[blackjacked]

[wry laugh]

And at least our foxes aren't eating anyone.

[glorious]

[can't help but laugh back humorlessly.]

They're tricksters but not murderers. I'm sure we can at least tolerate them.

[squirreledaway]

Are you alright...?

[blackjacked]

[waves a hand]

'M fine. This set up just brings up bad memories.

[itsalluseless]

It's not really the same thing despite the similarities...

[blackjacked]

[hffff. . .]

I know. And Kitsune's a safe Persona.

[appleofhiseye]

[you are kind of being swamped by people so I will just hover by Dragonfly]

[blackjacked]

[notices her, and lifts a hand to wave]

[surefire]

[elbows him gently]

[blackjacked]

I'm fine, geez. Why're you all hovering?

[mythlology]

[ nudge ]

Hey. There's no creepy fog. Let's take it as a good sign.

[blackjacked]

[waves a hand]

I know. 'M fine.

[wouldntkilladragon]

You okay?

[blackjacked]

[has relaxed significantly by this point]

'M fine. This game is just similar to one the Jabberwock ran before.
