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.]

[ mello why are you like this
flatly: ]
Since you obviously want someone to ask you: why?
no subject
Because it's effective. Think about it - humans, unless they're incredibly stupid, have some sense of danger. Maybe that sense is a little more keenly developed in some than in others, but we wouldn't have survived evolution if we weren't collectively smart enough to assess and avoid threats. I mean, look at where we are. [He waves a hand for emphasis.] We have limited resources here. Anyone who's trying to kill us off would need to rely heavily on the element of surprise. Wouldn't it make more sense to assign the killing roles to those who would more easily gain the trust of the others?

I mean, that was an unnecessarily long-winded way of saying that, but sure. Someone everybody else liked could get away with a lot more shit!
no subject
Not just someone they liked - someone they trusted. If you get someone to trust you, you can slip a knife in their side before they know what hit them.
[So, you know. No chance of anyone doing that with Mello, right.]
