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?

[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?

[carptricks]

They haven't. So knocking out one of those two shouldn't cast suspicion on anyone here.

It'd probably just look like a random hit.

[s2g]

Then we're leaving the insurance girl outta this.

[ look at this, midget girl, he's defending you.

Lord.

maybe it'd be easier if he doesn't have to worry about her stickin' her nose where it doesn't belong. maybe she'll end up undermining the whole effort. but between her and needlenoggin, all Wolfwood's trust is placed right there. no one else here deserves it. ]

[carptricks]

Insurance girl-- [he blinks, surprised]

You know her? Meryl-san, I mean?

[Why else would he want to leave her out of things, much like Hibiki wanted to leave Kanade out of it]

[s2g]

[ thin-lipped. trust her not to go around talkin' about that insurance place when it would actually be useful to. ]

We've run into each other before. [ again and again and again and... ] She's an iron woman and a pain in the ass but she might be useful.

[carptricks]

Protective, huh?

[there's a teasing lilt to his words]

But considering deciding between her and the standoffish gal is just a matter of a coinflip, I don't mind keeping her in the game for now.

[s2g]

[ protective? sure. just not for who Kaito's thinking of. ]

I'll keep an eye on her. [ as though he weren't already... ]

[carptricks]

Might not be necessary if we get lucky and hit a detective tonight.

[he says, lightly amused]

But I'll put my vote in for Shiki-san.

[s2g]

...Yeah.

[ he slips his hands into his pockets, turns two golden coins over between his fingers ]

[synchrownization]

I have to admit, she seems to be the levelheaded, helpful type. I'll trust your judgment since you know her more than any of us.

[No, Hans, the only judgment you trust is yours and you're judging that this guy's judgment is worth trusting.]

[s2g]

[ and here we have two liars lying to each other's faces ]

Dunno about levelheaded, but she's sharp. I'll see what I can get outta her in the mornin'.

[ that oughta appease 'em for now ]

[synchrownization]

[We wouldn't want it any other way.]

Let us know what you find out, or if she's starting to get a little too suspicious.

[s2g]

Yeah. Sure.

[ read: yeah, sure. ]
