Cry Wolf - Kunzite

[So about that game.]

[surefire]

... We might be able to wrap things up tonight, then...

[blackjacked]

. . .

Who do you think it is, out of our three clues. . .? I don't think it's Turquoise.

[surefire]

At the moment, I don't think it's Carnelian, personally... Turquoise has been giving me a headache to the point that I can't decide on a solid opinion about them myself. I've been considering Emerald, but I wouldn't say I think it's them for sure...

[blackjacked]

I think Emerald. They're. . . they asked us what we would do if we had to suspect a team of people we cared about last round.

[surefire]

They did? What else did they say?

[blackjacked]

That they wanted to end this quickly.

. . . that's about it, honestly.

[surefire]

I've thought it could be them... because not only did they vote on us, it looks like they were one of the decisive votes that made sure we went up...

[sighs and shrugs]

Battler... He's soft and the stupid, self-sacrificing type. But maybe if the wolves were aiming to minimize damage by winning in three nights, rather than giving themselves up... I don't know.

[blackjacked]

. . . s'possible. Who knows anymore?

[sounds so, so tired]

[surefire]

... Can I ask why you don't think it's Turquoise?

[blackjacked]

Because of their lie. It was too obvious and too complex and did nothing to cast suspicion off of them. If anything, it made 'em more suspicious. I think they did it to protect Ruby, just like they said they did.

'Sides. . . Torrent's too blunt to be a liar.

[surefire]

Do you think they could purposely be trying to make themselves look suspicious, though?

[blackjacked]

What good would that do, if they were wolves?

[surefire]

If they were aiming to get voted out, I guess.

[blackjacked]

[shakes his head]

You saw how they reacted to Sapphire when Sapphire tried something more overt, but similar.

[surefire]

... Okay, hold that train of thought, Carnelian suddenly looks a lot more suspicious to me.

[blackjacked]

[. . . A-Alena]

Why? It looks like another strategy to me, albeit not a good one.

[surefire]

It was the way she was phrasing her logic... She made it sound like if we miss the wolf tonight, for some reason that means there must be two wolves left, when of course I know there's only one. [shrugs] Maybe it was just poorly thought out and phrased, though, since a wolf would know there's only one of them left...

[blackjacked]

I think it's most likely the latter. Kunzite never talked to Carnelian, did they. . .? She might not be as confident as we are that you guys aren't wolves.

[surefire]

[... just rubbing her temple at this point]

[blackjacked]

[THIS POLL]

[EVERY TEAM I LIKE GOES UP IN OUSTING]

[EVERY TIME]

-- neither of them are wolves. I'm sure of it.

[surefire]

... Sorry... I wanted it between Turquoise and Emerald, I had no idea which it was... I started panicking when we were suddenly the team with the second-most votes...

[blackjacked]

No, it's-- it's fine. I understand that much.

[damn, another night. . .]

. . . we need to get Emerald tomorrow, then.

[surefire]

Yeah... If it's really not Turquoise, then I'm pretty sure...

[... just clinging lightly] I really messed up.

[blackjacked]

Don't blame yourself. You're not the one running this stupid game.

[surefire]

[a tense laugh]

I'm just supposed to be better than this, you know...? But, with people stupidly piling on us like that... [runs a hand through her hair] Why is everyone making this fifty times more complicated than it needs to be...

... I still think Turquoise is the more suspicious of the two.
