GAME 1: THE END.

[thecrook]

GAME ONE the end GAME OVER - THE SHEEP LOSE.. Through some unseen force, the lights in the bar are beginning to dim, slinking into bare embers as the Director finally stands from her customary seat by the bar. She flips her blond hair behind her shoulders and gives the remaining players a grimace filled with disdain. "By ousting Iwai, you have eliminated another sheep and have cost the sheep the game. I suppose that I should congratulate the wolves on a masterful performance of redirection and deceit. I will also take this time to shame the sheep for descending into alcoholism and anarchy when my back was turned. "Your wolves were Geir, Iwatooshi, Renzou Shima, and Siana Noska. Mako was this game's veterinarian, and he seemingly did try his very best to save the innocent. Try not to be harsh on the boy," the Director smiles, not very kindly, "he is only a child." The chairs have begun to push themselves into the tables. The remainder of the champagne is being poured into the bar's sink, the spare slips of voting paper tossed into the trash, the tablecloths straightened. Seems like the bar is getting ready to shut its doors. Behind you, the doors to the elevator slide open with a soft ping. The Director waves her hand impatiently. "You are free to leave," she says. And that is that. [ An OOC survey has been prepared. Please consider filling it out sometime this week to help me provide the best game experience for future players! Thanks so much for playing, everyone! ♥ ]

He took everybody by surprise with that! I had no idea! It was so good...

[geckotattoo]

See why I was saying that a unit was more powerful than individuals?

[rootandbranch]

Yeah, obviously! I was just hoping he'd beat me when I started. But him helping turned out really good too... Vern's so smart.

Hey, hey, tell me how you figured me out?

[geckotattoo]

Your first mistake was dodging the question, but I coulda seen that as a plan between the two of you--I was sure you both knew which of you was the wolf, which is why I let the girl get voted out. It matched what I told you, get it? If the votes had been more even, I woulda been less suspicious.

But I was almost positive Rin was a sheep, so when you were all raring to spar when there was no chance of getting out, and then he got kicked out, I was oh, 90% sure it was you.

[rootandbranch]

Hahaha, oops. I reeeaally wanted to spar with him, though. I'm glad I did!

I thought I'd given Iwatooshi away with how mad I got at him in front of you, too! Geez... I'm really not as good at tricking people as Dad.

[geckotattoo]

Nah, not right then, because I was focusin' on you at the time, but yeah, when I started thinking about it later, it was something that made me suspicious of him.

[rootandbranch]

You probably would have given us a lot of trouble if the Lovers thing hadn't happened. That was luck.

[geckotattoo]

Wouldn't 've thrown the thing if the sheep had a chance at winning, yeah. I do have my pride, y'know.

The Lovers thing screwed the sheep over bad. Part of it's my fault, I guess, 'cause I would've voted out the annoying wannabe comedian if my phone hadn't died and I slept through the damn vote 'cause the alarm I set for it didn't go off.

[rootandbranch]

Magilou might've been one of the Lovers, though. You wouldn't have known till it happened. That one was just luck!

[geckotattoo]

Yeah, it could've gone that way. But mostly she was getting on my nerves, and I didn't have a feel for the damn game yet, so it was a choice as good as any. Sure as hell wasn't gonna abstain by choice; that kinda thing is just allowing the wolves to dictate the game. I bet you all voted every time, right?

[He's throwing a glare at a couple people who publicly said they'd abstained right now.]

[rootandbranch]

Sure did! I even voted on myself a couple times to make me less suspicious.

[geckotattoo]

I thought about voting for myself, just to see if anyone would actually figure it out, but decided I wanted the game over more than shepherding the dumbasses along.

You made good choices on who to kick, although I would have gotten rid of me sooner. But I'd also have rather let a wolf get out in exchange for removing someone with accurate suspicions. What you did was risky but, high risk, high reward, heh.

[rootandbranch]

We thought we could probably still frame you if Vern went out. And we were right!

[geckotattoo]

Doesn't count as framing me if I was fully aware and cooperating with it all.

[rootandbranch]

Oh, come on! It definitely still counts!

[geckotattoo]

I'll compromise and say that we framed me together, and that's all you're gonna get.

[rootandbranch]

Ha! I'll take it.
