"lief me alone" ([personal profile] reidentify) wrote2017-08-21 07:52 pm

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.]

[After a little while, Yona speaks up.]

This doesn't have to do with the roles exactly, but...

I was thinking about how some of you stayed up to watch the Chiefs... The hallucinations made it harder to do, but we knew for sure that neither of them did anything that time, right?

[...]

What if instead of sleeping inside of our huts on Thursday night, we all slept during the day and then stayed up together to watch each other all night? ...we might not be able to get everyone to agree, but if a large group of us did, that's a whole lot of us that we'd all be able to vouch for, right?

cutefaced: i mean, besides the one you've dug for yourself - asking for a friend (how good are you at digging holes?)

But they let you watch them last time, didn't they? And you guys weren't punished for being outside of your hut.

If we decide that where we belong is outside, isn't it okay?
cutefaced: and i STILL feel like i need an adult (i am the oldest one here)

...oh.

[HE DEFINITELY HAS A POINT THERE... her shoulders slump a little.]

I'll try to come up with something better next time. Something the Chiefs won't realize will backfire on them until after they let us do it.

[ yona why are you trying to break the game already ]

... I think the easiest way to do something like that would be to exploit the roles. The item role, in particular. Or a role that would give us information or clues, like what Zuko alluded to earlier.

[ says the person who would also break the game if he knew how. ]

I agree with Lief on this one. Who's to say they won't knock out anyone who tries?
cutefaced: the number of good things that have happened over the past year (i can count on one hand)

Who's to say that they will? They didn't last time...

[But that situation was a bit different.]

We also don't know what else could come up. It was hallucinations last week, but what about if there's something else this week that gets in the way?

[ ... ]

You're definitely thinking along the right lines, Yona. I agree with the others that this probably won't work, but this is the kind of thought process we should be encouraging! Remember Hal telling us to use the rules to win? We should be getting creative with the rules.

We should at least try it. The only rule is that we can't enter our huts after nine. So, there's nothing to stop us from sleeping outside.
