What's so special about Heliodor?

[heroinhisowntime]

Nothing! I just talked to them and I don't feel like it's them!

[godcomplexed]

There's no reason to rule them out, especially if the roles were randomly assigned. The only reason to rule them out would be if we can think of a pattern between teams. But since we don't have any inclination either way, logic us the best bet.

What did they say to you?

[heroinhisowntime]

Well, Jason was excited about solving the mystery and stuff, which he wouldn't need to do if we was a fox, right? And Rider seems like an honest kid and he didn't seem like he was lying when he said he wasn't a fox.

[godcomplexed]

Which is what they'd do if they were trying to act like they weren't foxes. It's what anyone would do. Rider is a nice lad, but why wouldn't he want to play the game? There's no consequences for being a fox or if they win.

[heroinhisowntime]

I'm not saying he wouldn't say it otherwise! But we can't be sure of anything in this game, right? We just have to go with our instincts!

[godcomplexed]

Instincts can be misleading. We should go with what's logical.

[heroinhisowntime]

We'll never win that way. Anyway, it's not my style.

[godcomplexed]

Guessing randomly doesn't do us any favors.

We'll have to put it to a vote.

[heroinhisowntime]

It does us plenty of favors if we guess right.

[godcomplexed]

But we don't have any hints as to what is right other than "not Heliodor".

[heroinhisowntime]

I also don't think it's Emerald or Ruby or Iolite! And it's not us! It might be Sapphire. That's a lot to work from, right?

[godcomplexed]

That still leaves twelve to guess from. We're guessing four out of twelve. Still not great odds in our favor.
