CARD

[dramatispersonae]

You are the Drunk.

Your night action requires you to exchange your card for one of the cards Jorgi is holding without looking at it. You now becomes that new role, even though you don’t know what it is.

BONUS

[dramatispersonae]

"If you wissssh, you may tell me more about about the role you are playing. Why are they here? What do they sssseek to accomplisssh beyond finding the traitorsss?

Perhaps, if you are interesssting enough, I ssshall add it to your final ssscore."

[appleofhiseye]

Hmm, who wants something to drink?

[damnsel]

I will take a drink. So...why is the drunkard involved with this game? It seems we are meant to talk about our chosen role.

[ooc: gonna be really slow sorry!!]

[appleofhiseye]

[it's all good we can be slow together]

I'm not quite sure, though I know we've done games like this before. We're supposed to play this role, though I admit I don't care for the sound of this game much. I would rather not be casting suspicion on people for such a little thing.

Hmm, well, I do think we could come up with an interesting strategy for it. If we have a lot to drink, it might give everyone else a clue as to our role without stating it outright, yes? It's just a thought though. Is there anything else we might do?

[stageplay]

If our role is bound to change anyway, I'm not sure what good it would do to tell people. It might serve us better to focus on telling a story.

[appleofhiseye]

What kind of story?

[stageplay]

Well, if our role is a drunk, then we'll have to go from there somehow. Perhaps their desolate about having suffered a terrible loss, and turned to alcohol for consolation.

[damnsel]

Perhaps we are invested in figuring out who the traitors are because they did wrong to one of our loved ones. That may be a reason for us to drink so heavily.

[appleofhiseye]

Are drinking and investigating tied together? It sounds interesting though.

[stageplay]

A mournful, vengeful individual, nursing a grudge as well as a bottle... Perhaps the traitors even somehow brought about the death of a wife.

[appleofhiseye]

Well, the first part sounds fine if you'd like that, but there's no need to add in a death like that. There are plenty of other reasons to bring someone to justice.

[damnsel]

Maybe they stole our prized vegetables and won a competition with them, saying they were theirs?

[appleofhiseye]

[gasps!!]

That's truly devious of them. Of course we'd have to bring them to justice for that.

[damnsel]

We were never the same. Our vegetables were like our children.

[appleofhiseye]

[listening to Asaka's suggestion]

Maybe that's why the wife was a traitor...

[damnsel]

That's a good idea. No wonder we took up drinking.

[appleofhiseye]

What an unexpectedly tragic tale. We should get our vegetables and our wife back.

[damnsel]

Perhaps that's why we choose to try another profession.

[appleofhiseye]

Yes, the drinking wasn't suitable for long.

[stageplay]

Ah...

[ thinks, then holds up a finger ]

What about the opposite, then? She up and vanished while investigating them on her own, but... well, there's a chance we could become traitors by switched roles, too, isn't there? So perhaps the truth of it is that she joined up with them.

[appleofhiseye]

The wife is a traitor who stole our prized vegetables?! What a plot twist.

[stageplay]

[ o-omg

smothers a laugh behind her hand ]

Anyone would be driven to drink after such a betrayal.

[appleofhiseye]

It's true, it would have been a shocking blow to lose everything at once. But that revelation could lead to our change in role.

[stageplay]

Mm. Which card should we pick? I don't have any preference.

[appleofhiseye]

Left, then? It's as good as any.

[stageplay]

The left it is.

[appleofhiseye]

This seems pretty easy so far. But I imagine if things keep getting switched around it will be confusing.

NIGHT

[dramatispersonae]

"Tell me whether you wissssh to take the left, right or middle card. And it sssshall be your new fate.

You may even add a tale of how you sssswitched rolesss to your current tale."

Re: NIGHT

[appleofhiseye]

The left card, please.

And our tale is that our prized vegetables that were like our children were stolen, and one of the traitors won a competition with them. We wanted justice for this but our sorrows led to drinking. Our wife was investigating it on her own and then vanished, but there's a chance that she joined up with them in order to get the vegetables back. And, uhm, I suppose that revelation is why we switched to whatever role we have now.

Re: NIGHT

[dramatispersonae]

"As you wisssssh."

ONTO DAWN

[dramatispersonae]

Dopplegnanger, minion, traitors, smiths, seer, robber, troublemaker, drunk and insomniac.
