Peridot

[The room is bare, but clean and private.]
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry for the clear skies.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
... I guess I'm alone here.

Um. Miss Personae?
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry you look like that.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it alright if I have some paper and pencil?
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry it's the end.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry i love you.)

[inhales, and starts writing a note...]

"I know we haven't talked. And I've been meaning to write a letter to you for awhile... so maybe doing it like this will be easier? We can help Peridot this way. And you see everything I see, right?

So... it's a little presumptuous of me, but I'm not good at puzzles. But maybe you are. So, would you work with me on this? I won't tell anyone you did, if that's what you want."
squirreledaway: (Goddamn it Lloyd Irving.)

...

[starts to crumple the paper, but stops... and considers it for a little while, before scratching out:]

"Just this once. Tell anyone, and I'll refuse to ever talk with you like this again."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry you missed me.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[he looks a little relieved at the (somewhat) crumpled paper.]

"There are people you know that I don't, I think. Can you tell me about them?"
squirreledaway: (I could do better. Really.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[he gives the paper an "Are you serious?" look.]

"What kind of person do you think I am? Don't ask a stupid question like that again, or we're done."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry you suck at telling jokes.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[... s... sigh.]

"What counts as a stupid question?"
squirreledaway: (Really now?)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[... actually answering that question is hard. Pass.]

"Questions like that."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I glare.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[He frowns.]

You realize you're being ridiculous, right?
squirreledaway: (Really wary.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[hah!]

"You can't hear it, but I'm laughing out loud."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I didn't punch you.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[SETS ASIDE THE PAPER.]

[FINE, AS LONG AS I HAVE YOUR COOPERATION.]
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry starshine. The moon says hello)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[making a note for himself]

CITRINE


Group 2
CARNELIAN
TIGER'S EYE
HELIODOR
PERIDOT


*I don't think I'm a fox... Group two should be the easiest to figure out, then...
*Jason on heliodor is extremely competitive. And Ride seems like he responds based on that.
*No one from Tiger's Eye here, gonna have to hope I know them well enough

Group 3
EMERALD
TURQUOISE
SAPPHIRE
IOLITE


Group 4
AMETHYST
KUNZITE
STERLING
ONYX


[taps the desk and shrugs...]

Guess I have a group 2 bias...
squirreledaway: (Really now?)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ling is extremely competitive as well. Don't let the innocent face fool you."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I'm gonna kick your ass.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

"Thank you for that piece of information I asked for earlier."
squirreledaway: (Goddamn it Lloyd Irving.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Anyway, I'm sure you've noticed that you can see who places a vote for who. That makes things a little less complicated."
Edited 2012-10-20 23:57 (UTC)
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry for the wistful gaze.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I noticed. But that doesn't help until you start seeing the votes."
squirreledaway: (I could do better. Really.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Keep talking to people. The foxes are going to try and nudge public opinion one way or another. You're good at making people feel special and oh so calm, so talk to the people who are voicing their opinions the loudest."
squirreledaway: (OH SHIT I'M SORRY)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"... What kind of person do you think I am? I'll try that."
squirreledaway: (Really want you out of my space.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
"And it's not just rows, it's columns too. So figuring out one fox team should make it easier to figure out others."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry you're such a jerk.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. That makes things a bit easier. But it's still a pretty complex puzzle..."
squirreledaway: (Really. No fucks were given.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[taps the desk a bit, before writing]

"We don't lose any points for people guessing we're foxes. Look and see who is most adamant about not being a fox."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I can't.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Right now, I think Jasper, Sapphire, and Sterling sound the most suspicious... And what do you think of the voting?"
squirreledaway: (Really wary.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
"... Looks like somebody feels like screwing others over. Interesting."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry for the wistful gaze.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
"You think it's true?
squirreledaway: (Really only slightly impressed.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
"I think no matter how much of an idiot Gil is, his brother never came off that way. There's a very deliberate reason he voted that way."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry you suck at telling jokes.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Isn't that trusting a little too readily? I thought you were the one with trust issues between the two of us..."
squirreledaway: (Goddamn it Lloyd Irving.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[he starts to rip the paper-- but... jots down]

"At least I'm honest about it, unlike one of us."

[THEN he rips it up...]
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I'm not fluent in protagonist.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
...

[takes out a new sheet]

"Sorry..."
squirreledaway: (Really don't wanna talk.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Play the damn game. I don't want your worthless apologies."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I can't.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[he pauses for a long time...]

"What do you think? Is it just for a reaction?"
squirreledaway: (Really?)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know"
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry you're such a jerk.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
... So you're not gonna help me anymore, are you... Damn...

[s-sigh]
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry for the clear skies.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[now that voting's out of the way]

"Can we talk? I won't... expect a reply past this..."
squirreledaway: (I could do better. Really.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[he considers for a long moment.]

"Is it even talking then? Idiot."
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry you're such a jerk.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess it isn't... but we need to. We've been sharing a life for a couple of months now and... we've barely talked. And we both have the wrong idea of each other...

I want to help, if you'll let me. I know I ask you for help a lot, so it seems only fair... and it's also not fair to the rest of Peridot to have to try and help me and help you, when we could help each other.

I don't know why you feel so angry, or why you try to shut me out a lot. I remember less and less, and... I think that's probably a decision you made, right? I don't want to spy on you, but I don't think it's fair that you can see everything I see and I can't for you.

I don't know if you can read my thoughts, but I really do take this pact and my vow seriously. If you're a part of me, or a part of Ratatosk's power, let me help. Please..."
squirreledaway: (Really?)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[no response.... not willing to. He just crumples the paper]

Whose idea was it to give that idiot paper?
