week 3 ( monday );

[Meeting in the longhouse is a go! Lief clears his throat, as a part of him wonders how he keeps ending up in this situation, but:]

Thank you all for gathering here. These past few weeks have been difficult, but I pray that none of us fall into despair. Now, more than ever, we need to keep our spirits up and put an end to this twisted game.

Vriska and Kirigiri have asked that we take advantage of our time now to discuss our next course of action, without an immediate deadline constraining us, driving us to ill temper. As we have struggled with how we should approach the trial, perhaps we should focus on the roles—the ones with the purpose to kill.

In particular, what sort of people would the Chiefs place in such a role? Not necessarily who would kill, normally, but who would be the Chiefs' "ideal" candidates. That is what we wish to figure out.

... Of course, we may not come to a complete agreement. But perhaps we will walk away from this with a better idea of how to go on from here, if nothing else.

[ooc: basically, a mingle post to discuss stuff! top-level and hijack away, etc.]

We need to find out how many roles we're looking at, and what kind. We know there's one that gives items. There may be one that gives us clues, if we believe those machine men. [Halpal was a little shifty when Zuko asked so he's been considering it]

And... the kill roles. Those are the ones we already know about, or that could exist. What about others?

...the item role seems like it's... supposed to help us, right? It can give us things we can use to survive.

And the ones that ensure someone gets killed... obviously those are unhelpful.

Do you think whatever roles there are, it would be an even balance of helpful and unhelpful?

Don't forget that the item role picked a weapon as their first item. That did the opposite of helping us.

[As Haru found out firsthand.]

you saw nothing

A knife could have been used for cooking or to help us cut things down in the jungle to explore, though... It just got used for something bad first.

[Thanks, Chiefs. Also heck I can't remember how I worded the first draft of this but w/e]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what gets picked next to know for sure.

Baskets, at least, don't strike me as lethal...we are assuming that was their choice last week, aren't we...?

There has to be some way to tell which it was...

[A nod.]

Last week, Lief and Prussia woke up to baskets. We'll wait to see if the pattern holds up.

[thanks, chiefs!!]

... But don't forget something. Even if they pick a good item this week, it doesn't mean they're a good person. We don't know with what rules they operate.

[like, how they work with the chiefs and all that.]

Wasn't Lief the one who started trying to organize everyone to hunt and gather food? The person with the item role might have been trying to assist him.

...that would explain why they showed up where they did.

[Yona really wants to believe that the item role is trying to help because apparently everything eLSE ON THIS ISLAND WANTS TO KILL THEM. Let them have this. :( ]

[Yona: the sole item person stan]

But they're right. We don't know if this person is really friend or foe. We'll have to keep observing their actions.

The baskets appeared on a Wednesday, did they not?

... I suppose we'll find out if anything appears, but then again there's the possibility that whoever requested for the items would request for something for their personal use instead of for the betterment of the group.

[personal profile] cuedoves 2017-08-22 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's possible. We don't know anything about who we're dealing with.

Yeah, Wednesday. I don't think we know when the knife appeared -- so we'll have to observe what happens this week.

[i don't wanna hear that from Keith "knife emoji" Keitherson]

It could have been intended for self-defense. For all we know, those two were the ones who re-purposed it to murder Haru.

In theory, they should be, since "game" implies a fair chance of winning. But this game hasn't exactly been stacked in our favour so far, has it?
