Cry Wolf - Kunzite

[digitalemperor]

[So about that game.]

Comments

[digitalemperor]

Yeah. The best case is still a terrible scenario. And they're already giving us clues to targeting teams.

[Just reaches out for her hand because fuck this game.]

[shednotearsformagic]

[Her face and expression is pretty calm. Even her words are mostly even (but there may be a tinge of rage if you're paying attention.]

[Her grip on his hand, however? Rather tight.]

If they were all lies, it'd just be more of a bloodbath, wouldn't it?

[digitalemperor]

Fear and suspicion is the point of the game.

[He steps closer, close enough to tug her gently so she's leaning against his shoulder.]

There's no way to play this game "well". Only to get it over with.

[shednotearsformagic]

[Leans against him.]

No way to 'stay Kunzite' like that. I wonder if that's why they showed a blade for the first round.

[digitalemperor]

They want a vote. If there's no direction for it, that'd make the choice hard.

[Switching the hand holding hers so he can lift his arm and wrap it around her shoulders.]

[shednotearsformagic]

And yet they still want blood. [Reading her head against his shoulder.]

All they need is one round or subterfuge to kill an extra three teams.

[digitalemperor]

Mm. Yeah. The wolves are probably constrained their own way too.... Something like an inability to talk about it or consequences not worth the sacrifice... So no way to let people know who they are.

[Petting her hair lightly, comfort cuddles.]

[shednotearsformagic]

If they could do the first, I'd bet on it. Unless they completely ignore the numbers or the only representatives don't care about anyone off team, it'd be rather tempting to try and be suspicious.

Maybe we should try asking people directly if they're wolves. Maybe if it's magic, it'll give them away.

[digitalemperor]

You think so? They might be compelled just to say they're sheep...

[shednotearsformagic]

Possibly.

But it could hardly hurt.

[digitalemperor]

....I guess we could try.

[shednotearsformagic]

Well, Kunzite certainly has nothing to lose. We're already 'suspicious' because of that clue.

If people believe it, the ideal thing would be to vote for two of those if they can't find someone they think is definitely wolves. Which isn't in our favor much.

[digitalemperor]

That was pretty nasty of them.

[shednotearsformagic]

Probably want us to get in some big fight with Ruby and Heliodor. Watch the accusations start flying.

[digitalemperor]

That would certainly entertain them.

[shednotearsformagic]

I have no intention of being their little puppet. Maybe those teams will despise the Personae enough to do the same.

[digitalemperor]

I can't see Heliodor being quiet about it at least.

The problem is the voting.

[shednotearsformagic]

I only know two Heliodors. The one who looks like Jet and...Tsuruume. Though I only talked to her once.

Narrow it down to two and then try to find the wolf.

[digitalemperor]

I barely know any of them, though I've spoken to Tsuruume-san.

I don't know Ash-san that well or Tavros-san on Ruby.

[shednotearsformagic]

I don't really know anyone on Ruby.

[digitalemperor]

I know Oz-san best. But I didn't see him.

[shednotearsformagic]

Well, at least there's that then.

[Now if only you, Kit, or Berry weren't here too...]

[digitalemperor]

[Feels much the same about you. And you know, my whole team.]

If you had to guess, who would you consider most likely...?

[shednotearsformagic]

[If I was on my own, that's be easier too. Just avoid two teams, and I'm totally....sane? Ish? Something.]

IF I were to believe those hints were valid?

...I only saw Tsuruume of Heliodor. One person wolf team would avoid peer pressure to be 'the better person.' And she's kind of socially awkward, so she may not be the type to throw herself on a sword as is.

[digitalemperor]

[Yeah I believe that sanity sure. That is why you are getting hugs.]

I wonder if it's that simple....
