[Mune bites through his sucker with a sharp crack and an expression of tired frustration.]

A three way vote, damn.

[He pulls a wad of bills out of his pocket and flips through it while he settles into a chair with his feet on a table again.]

Alright, maybe it'll get people motivated. If the sheep manage to win this, I'll give 1000 yen to each one.

[999blades]

[ He laughs. ]

Even without money, I'm feeling pretty motivated!

[geckotattoo]

Then you'd better get the wolf this time, huh?

[999blades]

Yeah.

[ No pressure or anything... ]

[geckotattoo]

Good luck.

[pornography]

That's a good incentive!

[geckotattoo]

Glad you think so.

[That's not a smile, it's a smirk. But he is kind of glad, even if he thinks it's unlikely he'll be paying out.]

[pornography]

So are you only gonna give 1000 yen to the surviving sheep or every single one?

[geckotattoo]

If the sheep win, every one. Except myself, 'cause there ain't a point in giving myself my own cash.

[pornography]

Seems legit.

[999blades]

Guess it's come down to this, huh?

[ He lounges back in his chair. There's not much time to think about things...they've been talking and discussing earlier, so-- ]

Well, let's give it our best like always!

[rootbound]

Ah, really . . .

[climbs up onto the bar, clapping his hands to get people's attention]

I suppose, since I wasn't able to shift the suspicion away from Geir and myself, or at least bring Iwai up with us to split the votes, I may as well admit it and save everyone the trouble.

I'm the wolf. There you go. Kind of unsporting, I know, but nothing in the rules says I can't reveal myself-- [gives the Director a sharp look, here] --if I'm tired of playing in the game.

[999blades]

Oh.

[ ... Then he grins. ]

Well then! That makes it easier for us!

[rootbound]

Yes, congratulations.

You'll forgive me if I don't reveal the others, though.

[999blades]

Not even if I told a really good joke, huh?

[ Iwatooshi, pls. ]

[rootbound]

Unlike miss Magilou, I don't have much sense of humor.

[999blades]

That's too bad, hahaha!

[geckotattoo]

You and him have a strong relationship; I respect that. Ain't sorry I was trying to manipulate you two into slipping up, but that's the way it goes.

[rootbound]

It's fine. We weren't hiding that we knew each other, someone was always going to use what we said about each other as a meter, and you're a smart player.

[geckotattoo]

[Small smirk.]

I'll take that compliment.

[mayvin]

Hmmmm, and how do we know you're telling the truth? Isn't it possible you're just trying to protect your good ol pal? But oh what would I know? I'm the most suspicious of anyone, right?

[rootbound]

Of course I've been trying to protect Geir this whole game, and vice-versa. I told him what I was on the first day. I wasn't lying when I told people I would do so.

If you want to tie yourself in more knots over it, miss performer, I don't care.

[rootandbranch]

Wait-- no! Vern! Shut up!

I'm the wolf!

[rootbound]

I'm sorry, Geir. You really don't have to keep protecting me over this...

It's just a game, right?

[rootandbranch]

No! I just voted for myself, see?! It's definitely me!

[rootbound]

[shakes his head]

I wanted to just keep us both out of people's attention, but I'm afraid that won't work anymore.

Mm. I'm sorry I pushed for voting to eat Rin, by the way. I was a little jealous.

[rootandbranch]

Huh, what? You don't have to be jealous, I don't want to fight you--



--wait, you're trying to distract me!

[rootbound]

Maybe a little . . .?

[rootandbranch]

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrn!!

[WRIGGLES]

[rootbound]

[pets him . . .]

It won't be so bad. I'll see you again in a bit.

[rootandbranch]

Argh, you're unbelievable!

[FUSSILY SHOVES HIS NOSE INTO VERN'S HAND]

Fine! We'll win! Just wait for me!

[999blades]

[ dudes... ]

Anyone else want to claim being a wolf?
