RUBY

[dramatispersonae]

[You'll find yourself inside the living room of a quaint and cozy gingerbread house. The room itself isn't very big, but you'll find nice décor scattering the room: Squishy marshmallow seats around a chocolate table holding bowls of treats, cabinets covering the walls, and a large cauldron in one of the corners.

You'll also find a flight of stairs that goes up.]

Ah, hello. [You can hear the Baker's voice speaking.] It looks like today, you will be Children.

[What if I'm still incredibly unhappy and looking obviously unhappy about this game even if no one is gonna get hurt.]

[gentlepoints]

Oi. What's your problem?

[pchaaair]

I hate this kind of game.

[gentlepoints]

It looks pretty harmless to me. In fact, I'm kind of pissed she's talking down to us that way. Maybe half this team is kids, but I'm not one of them.

[pchaaair]

[hff]

This one is harmless. The last time I played this kind of game, it was dangerous.

[gentlepoints]

Huh . . . finger-breaking kind of dangerous?

[pchaaair]

Death.

I was burned to death because of the mistakes of another team.

[gentlepoints]

. . . At least that would make this more interesting.

Just take a deep breath or something. No one's getting burned to death, we're playing fucking Candyland in a fairy tale world.

[pchaaair]

[hff]

I'm trying to relax, and I know that no one is going to get hurt, but that doesn't mean that I have to like it.

We're voting for Emerald, by the way, in this round. I won't vote for Turquoise, because if it weren't for the other team, Turquoise would have gotten us out alive.

[gentlepoints]

Oi, I hope that means you're not voting for Turquoise unless they're mice.

[pchaaair]

Except it's random, and it is likely that there are no mice up for vote.

If they are confirmed mice, though, then we can vote, but, until then, I won't.

[gentlepoints]

That's all I wanted to hear.

Anyway, I'm fine with that this time. It's not like we've got anything to go on, and I don't think I like that Turquoise chick.

[gentlepoints]

All right, did I miss anything interesting this time?

[pchaaair]

No, not really. For the most part, we were looking at everything that everyone found.





[shoves a jar of sausages at him]

[gentlepoints]

So, who--

[wait

sausage jar

fuck you

SHOVES IT BACK AT HIM]

Where the fuck did you get those?!

[pchaaair]

I didn't do it, Baker did.

There was a note in them. The other jars were cinnamon.

[gentlepoints]

And you just had to hand them to me, you asshole! Forget it. Let's just talk about our vote or something before I punt that jar at your head.

[pchaaair]

[what did a sausage ever do to you]

I want to vote for Coral, because honestly, Tiger's Eye is ... really naive? And, aside from the fact that I like Pumpkin, and in general, the fact that Ruby has really good ties to Tiger's Eye, I don't think they would be good at hiding things, or keeping things a secret.

Coral is nice, but you also can't always trust them.

[gentlepoints]

I don't think they are being any good at hiding things. It looks to me more like they're mice and really shitty at playing it off naturally. Watch them going on Coral being "too helpful." Isn't Peridot the team that threw themselves out there balls out in the first round? No one was around more than that kid. You can't vote for a team based on them being too helpful when the other team was even more into it.

I'm not saying I think it's Peridot, I'm saying it's shitty logic and they know it. They're not even trying to defend it.

[pchaaair]

And to me, I just do not think that their personalities are suited to this kind of game, which does not necessarily mean that they are mice, and honestly, I am more inclined to trust them, over Coral, as much as I also like Coral.

It's kind of hard to defend things, when you're on the spot, Dio, or bad at this kind of thing in general.

[gentlepoints]

It's also hard to defend things that are indefensible, you moron. Why do you trust them more than Coral besides just thinking they're more trustworthy? You know she doesn't pick the roles based on personalities, right? If she did, we'd be mice.

[pchaaair]

I'm not picking Tiger's Eye, Dio.

It may be a harmless game, but, unless the proof is completely solid, and let me remind you that it is not completely solid, at this point in time, I will not pick Tiger's Eye, or any team that is really close to Ruby.

[gentlepoints]

Oh my God, get over it! Then why am I even here?! You can't just decide who to vote for based on who you like. This isn't finger-breaking, so nut up and play!

[pchaaair]

Shut up, this isn't about nutting up and playing, this is about the fact that we have teams that Ruby is close to, and that even if this isn't finger-breaking, there are teams that trust us, and—when I say we, it's a general 'we'—and we trust them back, in games.

Coral and Peridot are doing the same thing, and every other team that is close to each other is also doing it, so we can do it too, and it won't even count as suspicious.

[dramatispersonae]

[You've been whooshed out!]

[ooc: however because of runner going out for most of the day, you are free to explore a little extra! just remember that this happens before ousting ok ok and there should be an extra opportunity after the game to explore further]
