Room Five

[You find yourself in a room with several other people, some of whom you may know but none from your own team.

Outside, the sound of barking has grown louder and more vicious. You don't have long to decide who you'll send to them. Talk among yourselves, and when you're ready, vote here.]

Any plan we have will have risks. Why is the risks of sending out a group any greater than the risks of sending someone out alone?

If it sends one person out randomly then we haven't chosen anyone.

That is a potential risk, yes.

However, if we're all volunteers, then at least that person would have volunteered to go out regardless. It would have been the same either way.

This way, however, makes a stand that we do not single out our own and feed them to the dogs. That may be exactly what Kitsune needs to see.

...'Changing the personae', right?

[...nods.]

Sometimes the moves you make in a game will affect the Personae. I made a foolish move to sacrifice myself, and it accomplished nothing. I made a risky move that ended up getting more people killed than myself -- and it was one everyone was telling me not to take for that reason. My death and the deaths of those I dragged down with me taught her nothing and she later ran another death game. I later learned that her role was inherently based in the distrust in others, so my move against everyone's wishes solidified it.

Right now, Kitsune is running a game where we have to choose who we distrust enough to send out. Forcing a tie shows that we stand together and can trust each other. That sort of action is what is most likely to help push back her role.

Either way, the most important thing is that we work together instead of arguing amongst ourselves. We have to show we're together in whatever move we take.

[lol showing we're together in a room where half the people aren't taking me seriously okay. Also that is a TERRIBLE story, I'm so sad for you]

You...

[a pause then bows his head to her]

I know you likely feel that we're not taking your abilities into account. I have my own bias as I have fought in battles here alongside some of the people in this room.

We're only speaking from the experiences we've had in other games such as these. And our experiences have taught us that working together is usually the best solution than singling out our own. This is why I support Ivory's plan.
