Day 1 - Spy Meeting

[islandiastaff]

[Same as last night, the doors for the spies open after lights out, and the path of torches leads to the same place where the trial took place.]

Welcome back, secret spy network! Second night, same as the first - you can now choose as a group to eject another player from the game! Who'll it be, folks?

[synchrownization]

Well, here we go again.

[He lets out a breath like this is some cumbersome ritual they have to go through each and every day.]

Does anyone have any nominees, or are we going to flip a coin again?

[wildrhythm]

I'm worried about Ema, but if we get rid of her now I'll look super suspicious...

[synchrownization]

You mean that girl with the pink glasses? Why do you think you'll look suspicious if we vote for her?

[IS THAT CONCERN IN HIS EYES?

...shhhh don't be deceived, he's really only concerned for three people here and they're him, himself, and he.]

[wildrhythm]

Because she was accusing me of being a spy! She even voted for me!

[synchrownization]

Robin would be suspicious, too, if that's the case. What made her think you're a spy?

[DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE AND HANS IS TOO...]

[wildrhythm]

I think she just voted for me because Ema told her to...

[synchrownization]

Are you sure about that?

[carptricks]

[ticking off names with his fingers]

Meryl-san. Ema-san. Shiki-san.

One of them is the detective. After last round, I'd put my bets on it being Ema-san, but if we do get rid of her now it'll cast a lot of suspicion on Hibiki-san.

[synchrownization]

[Hans nods.]

If she really is the detective, I think we can afford to keep her here for a little longer. Just long enough for people to stop suspecting Hibiki.

[carptricks]

[he nods]

. . . but we need to be careful. If she is the detective, and we leave her in the game too long, she might be able to root us out pretty quickly.

[synchrownization]

That goes without saying. I just hope the suspicion toward Hibiki blows over by tomorrow. Unfortunately, the ballots had to be shown for everyone to see.

[carptricks]

[quirks a small smile]

I had a feeling that might happen.

If we don't vote for Ema-san, then we need to choose either Shiki-san or Meryl-san.

[synchrownization]

Okay, but who do you think is more suspicious between them?

[THIS GAME IS WEIRD.]

[wildrhythm]

I'd be willing to just go ahead and vote for Ema anyway, but... she also suspected Kanade, and that wouldn't be fair to her.

[synchrownization]

Wow, Ema's on a roll.

[carptricks]

[tilts his head towards her]

But she voted for you. If I were a normal villager, I'd think you the most suspicious, not Kanade-san.

[s2g]

[ the short girl's name again. either it's divine coincidence or the woman hasn't got a clue how to keep her nose out of things, and the way she's always poking around, Gunsmoke and here, Wolfwood wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter.

but he'd rather she do the poking around than anyone else. ]

Wait for that Ema girl to point at someone else.

[carptricks]

I agree.

[he says that with a nod]

Which means it's either Shiki-san or Meryl-san.

[s2g]

[ fffuck, he doesn't want to get caught up in this shit. he's quiet for a few, rolling an imaginary weight from one shoulder to the other.

it'll be a pain if she gets booted and somethin' happens to her. Vash's bleeding heart'll hemorrhage. ]

Which one's Shiki?

[carptricks]

[MEANWHILE, Kaito is just playing to win. As he often does. But hey, he has no contacts here he wishes to protect]

The standoffish girl from Mifune City. Her bio just says "whatever."

[s2g]

[ as though Wolfwood actually bothered to read the bios ]

Have either of 'em actually done anything?

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Aw no! Why do we gots to pick Ema? I keep saying the roles are random! It don't mean anything if she's just a detective off the island!

[Tsuruya, that insistence is exactly why you got a vote in the first place...]

[carptricks]

[gives her an amused look]

We don't have to pick her now, but we might have to down the line. It doesn't matter whether she's a detective off of the island or not-- she might be one in the game, and that's bad news for us.

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

*sigh* Well, I guess if we gots to, we gots to. I just kinda wish we didn't have to.

[carptricks]

It's just a game, right?

[pulls up a confident smile]

If we have to vote for her, she'll be okay.
