Liger....

[murimurimuri]

We should pick the opposite of what we really want. So if you want to be a four-legged animal, then we have to say we want to be birds.

[fightorflight]

...Why?

[murimurimuri]

If more people say birds, then we won't be turned into anything. But if more people say animals, then we, who are in the minority for having said birds, will be turned into animals.

[fightorflight]

Then.. we won't get points?

[though she doesn't really have a problem with getting turned into an animal]

[murimurimuri]

We might or we might not. For this game, though, it's better to focus on making smart choices rather than getting points. We don't know what kind of decisions we're going to have to make in future rounds.

[fightorflight]

[nods]

Kong is smart.

So, we should pick birds...?

[murimurimuri]

That's right. Would you like me to do it?

[fightorflight]

Okay.

Picking birds is smart.

[murimurimuri]

Hm... this one's tricky. Octopus is the obvious answer, but it's banking on the idea that no one else has figured out that they ought to be using reverse psychology...

[fightorflight]

Octopus.... everyone will pick octopus, right?

[murimurimuri]

That would be my guess. In this case, I think we'll have an easy point if we go octopus.

[fightorflight]

We'll win if we have more points. [THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS]

Octopus.

[murimurimuri]

Yeah. I'll take care of it.

Round 3

[fightorflight]

Cinnamon... is it sweet?

Re: Round 3

[secare]

Sort of. I don't know what it'd be like swallowing.

Definitely better than the pepper.

Re: Round 3

[murimurimuri]

Most teams are probably going to pick the cinnamon.

Re: Round 3

[secare]

It's the obvious choice.

I can't help feeling like it's some kind of trick though.

Re: Round 3

[murimurimuri]

I don't think so. Everyone seems to be following the strategy of going with what they believe the others will, and I doubt that'll change as long as there's no communication between teams. So when it's a clear-cut choice, it makes more sense to go with the obvious answer.

Re: Round 3

[secare]

Alright, then I guess it's decided then. We'll go for the cinnamon!

Re: Round 3

[murimurimuri]

Got it.

Re: Round 3

[fightorflight]

It's only a spoon...

Re: Round 3

[secare]

But it's also powder. It won't go down easy.

Re: Round 3

[fightorflight]

Mmm... I don't know what peppers taste like.

Re: Round 3

[secare]

They're hot. Really hot.

It's different for everyone, but if it's too hot then it'll hurt in your mouth. Your eyes water and it's pretty awful.

Re: Round 3

[fightorflight]

[FROWNS]

It sounds bad.

Round 4

[secare]

. . .

( ?! )

I have no idea. These are awful choices.

Re: Round 4

[fightorflight]

What should we do?

Re: Round 4

[murimurimuri]

[hoarsely]

I got cocky...

We pick the secret. I'll write the love letter if it comes to it.

Re: Round 4

[fightorflight]

[CUDDLES]

Kong... are you okay?

Re: Round 4

[murimurimuri]

My mouth is on fiiirrreee.

Re: Round 4

[fightorflight]

Kong! What do I do?

[DISTRESSED]

Re: Round 4

[murimurimuri]

[whoops, too much whining in front of Tora]

Er... I'm fine. I'm... fine...

[his smile twitches]

Re: Round 4

[fightorflight]

Are you sure?

[fROWNS]

Re: Round 4

[murimurimuri]

It's okay. It can't hurt me. It really only feels like I'm going to die.

Re: Round 4

[fightorflight]

Kong should have more milk...

Re: Round 4

[secare]

No way, no way! I'll do the letter.

You've done enough.

Re: Round 4

[murimurimuri]

[nods vaguely]

Go pick secret?

Re: Round 4

[secare]

Ok, I'll go put our answer down.
