[So about that game.]

[ALSO COOL we got this]

Haa. . . I don't think this is necessarily a game of alliances.

[shednotearsformagic]

[I am not burying my emotions at all, I am totally cool and calm.]

[Shrugs.] It could be. Though I suppose it really does go without saying, since Coral and Kunzite are close.

[blackjacked]

. . . you're a team we don't want to suspect.

What do you make of the clue the Jabberwock left?

[shednotearsformagic]

Honestly, I don't think any of them at the wolves at this point. When they have rules to guarantee nearly half of us are dead even with every correct call, why not go for a full house slaughter by throwing us false clues?

[Holds up three fingers.] The first round. IF we get a wolf right off the bat, that's one team dead. The other two still eat. Three teams are dead the first round. [Then two fingers.] Get another wolf right off the bat? That's still two teams dead by the second. [Then one finger.] We get the last wolf?

By the end, it's six teams dead. Guaranteed. If we miss the first round? That's nine dead.

And that's assuming we CAN kill a wolf before they select their meals. If not? Four dead the first round, three the second, and two the third. It's already nine teams with that scenario. Twelve if the first round is missed.

[Her tone is...almost calm throughout this. But there's definitely an undercurrent there of anger. Someone is rather full of rage right now.]

[blackjacked]

[keeps his own expression calm during the entire thing, but when he speaks, his voice is a bit sharper]

You don't have to do math for me that I've already done myself, Kira-san.

[shednotearsformagic]

...it's rather unfortunate for the wolves.

If they have teams they want to protect, they can only hope to die quickly.

[blackjacked]

. . . the wolves have the worst role in this game.

A target painted on their backs, and only an option to die if they want to end it as quickly as possible.

[shednotearsformagic]

Yes.

So, why are you talking to us? To see if we're suspicious?

[blackjacked]

[snorts] I don't care about 'suspicious,' or 'trustwrothy,' or anything like that. No matter what role you guys have in this game, no matter what this damn Persona is asking you to do, we trust you.

[shednotearsformagic]

Good. Because I'm not going to believe it's Coral either.

Just because it's not permanent doesn't mean I want to even get close to that scenario.

[blackjacked]

[nods, firmly]

Then who do you think it might be?

[shednotearsformagic]

...it'd have to be really big incentive for a team full of hero types to not try and be the most suspicious they could be so they'd get taken out.

So unless we get a team that's doing that, it'd have to be teams who are most likely to be self serving enough and hope they can just survive until the end, no matter how many die.

[blackjacked]

Haa. You'd be surprised what even the most "heroic" person would do under the right circumstances, Kira-san.

[shednotearsformagic]

It's rather hard to ignore the numbers. Or maybe I'm trying to be an optimist of people to want to avoid bloodbaths.

[blackjacked]

People do want to avoid bloodbaths, Kira-san.

. . . but when the Jabberwock is involved, when he's a Persona who hates heroes and heroic actions and self-sacrifice, then who knows what he's threatening other teams with?

[shednotearsformagic]

Probably wouldn't revive them if they didn't try or something like that.

What about Jacobi?

[blackjacked]

Honestly, I'm surprised she's even taking part in this game. She's usually known for running creative games instead.

[shednotearsformagic]

Creative games?

[blackjacked]

Writing stories, making costumes. . . that sorta thing.

[shednotearsformagic]

This is rather lacking in any sort of creativity.

There are killers. Kill them before they kill you! Hardly anything that requires deep insight.

[blackjacked]

And when it comes to murder, it's rather uncreative even for that, isn't it?

[shednotearsformagic]

Well, who knows.

What does 'execution' even mean. It's rather vague.

Though the one named...cannibalism isn't very creative either.

[blackjacked]

[p. . . pales and shivers]

I hope it doesn't go that far.

[shednotearsformagic]

I dunno. Six teams guaranteed death. They might decide we might be too accepting that most of us are doomed.

[Okay, someone is kind of really feeling bitter.]

[blackjacked]

[BITTERNESS ALL AROUND]

[reaches out to place a hand on her shoulder]
