Day 6

[collateraltsunage]

[Well, the maze is convenient for one reason... specifically, being able to pull three people aside to a secluded part of it. Seeing as how nearly everyone has opted to go blind, it's easy for her to ascertain whether they're alone or not.]

I believe we should discuss our next courses of action.

Comments

[exfired]

I'm guessin' by courses, you wanna talk beyond just who we're gunnin' for tonight, right?

[collateraltsunage]

Yes. Without the detective.... we need another means of rooting out the last spies.

And perhaps... a couple of more people we can trust.

[exfired]

So, we need people we're sure aren't spies, huh? And a way to drag out the spies... Hm.

Well, concentrating on tonight for right now, for the message, I don't mind writin' it again, but I'm outta coins to give it. An' with it being a success last time, there's a chance the spies'll try to fake one.

[collateraltsunage]

I have coins, Mr. Axel. Perhaps we can collaborate. [SHE DOESN'T SOUND THRILLED ABOUT THIS, BUT YOU KNOW]

Yes, I can see no other reason why they would have used the spy magician's power. We must be prudent.

[exfired]

Prudent... or cleverer than the spies. How d'you feel about a little gamble?

[collateraltsunage]

[She's not sure she likes where this is headed]

...Elaborate, please.

[exfired]

Don't make such a worried face, I don't usually gamble without the odds stacked up in my favor. [he means he cheats, but ok] I'm sayin', how about we wait them out before sending our own message? See if they send one first an' then retaliate.

[collateraltsunage]

[SQUINTING INTENSIFIES]

You mean that whoever they try to scapegoat will be a guaranteed ally?

[WHAT IF IT'S HISOKA-- no, fate couldn't possibly be that cruel]

[exfired]

That, an' if we have a message callin' out the first one on being a liar, there's a chance it'll go by better than two messages pointing at different people. Like I said, it's a gamble, though.

[collateraltsunage]

If we explained our reasoning for waiting, it would be easier to persuade people to follow our note.... [WOW, THIS ISN'T HALF-BAD. SHE'S SURPRISED]

It is a gamble, but relying on these notes is one to begin with.

[exfired]

My thoughts exactly. You willin' to go for it?

[collateraltsunage]

Yes.

Though we should have an idea of the message to send beforehand. I can use my tokens, and we must mimic the same style of speaking....

[exfired]

That last one ain't that hard. For the rest... Okay, so we're gonna go after Dororo this round, right?

[collateraltsunage]

Admittedly not. [It's not that much different from her usual speech!!]

Yes, Mr. Dororo. I have my suspicions about Mr. Hans, but Mr. Dororo has to be the magician. There's no doubt in my mind.

[exfired]

He's the last one we know for sure. So... basically, all we gotta do is say why the detective waited, call out their bluff, explain why Dororo's a spy--since we got the proof on that one--an' bingo, we're home free.

[collateraltsunage]

[Pauses in thought, then:]

Greetings everyone, this is your true detective speaking. These past few days, I have been aware of how easy it would be to fake my preferred method of communication with you. I thought it dangerous but necessary in order to win the game, yet once everyone knew the legitimacy of my messages, it went without saying that the spies would try to use it to take out innocents......

[TRAILS OFF...]

Mr. Dororo was a prior suspect, so we can call attention to that in the message. Either he or Mr. Wolfwood were meant to the magician, and....

[candyrocks]

Yeah! What do you think we should do?

That note was really smart. Do we know who else is a spy?

[collateraltsunage]

Mr. Dororo, I'm certain of. Mr. Hans is also someone whose behavior is peculiar... though I'm not certain on him.

We need to narrow down the other spy, and find a way to confirm whether or not it's Mr. Hans.

[candyrocks]

Okay. What should we do to narrow it down? I'll help if I can.

[collateraltsunage]

I... am not sure. We must pay close attention to how everyone votes and speaks... Have you been talking to many people, Greg?

[exfired]

[he salutes because ur welcome for the note]

We're pretty lucky Leorio picked a speech pattern not that hard to emote. But I'm with Meryl there--that Hans guy seemed a bit suspicious, though I dunno if that's enough to go off of.

[candyrocks]

Okay, Hans. Let's get 'im.

Is Robin not a spy anymore?
