Once you find your partner you will enter one of the stone cavern rooms. While usually equipped for a larger team, this room now is cozy enough to fit two people. There's a table with refreshments, a pair of bunkbeds, and a couple beanbag chairs. There's even a pile of books if you want, but of course you'll probably be much too busy for that.

[Lapis glances around, somewhat nervously, leaning against one of the bunk bed posts, arms crossed.]

So, what is going on here?

[Nope, he's going to check out the books.]

This must be one of those games everyone keeps talking about...

What do you mean? What sort of game?

... How long have you been here?

A few months. I arrived not long before Nyssa's trivia game.

Then you have a better idea than me. I just woke up.

The rules sound simple though. We pick a person to kick out.

Wait, you just woke up? But...

[How do you tell someone that you know them, and they've been here longer than you, and you've seen their memories? This isn't the time.

She coughs.]

Anyway, uh, right. Do you have any preferences? I don't know how we're supposed to decide who is the mafia on... literally no information.

[:)]

Why not pick the person who'd be least helpful in figuring out who's lying. Basically a gullible person.

[Lapis thinks for a moment, and crosses her arms.]

I'm not sure. You can pick someone, to be honest.

One of the ones in blue.

Ishiyama, then.

Breeze? Works for me.

[Lapis is flopped on the bottom bunk, staring at the ceiling.]

Well... I'm thinking that we need to get Zephyr next... and Ochre is probably toast.

Wouldn't it be stupid to target Ochre if he's made himself so public? That would just make it more obvious he's not mafia, if he's on our side.

But yeah, we probably will have to go for Zephyr. Too bad, that guy's amusing.

That is... true.

[She sighs for a moment.]

Unfortunately, I have very little to help other than my natural abilities.

I believe Ochre, as he is incapable of subtlety.

[He is also canonically incapable of pronouncing the word.]

I feel like I should have questioned more people.

You were distracted. In the meantime, we have a good lead. We can follow it and then poke more people next round.

That sounds like a good idea.

[She sits up.]

So, what do we know for certain? Airstream was not Mafia. Breeze might or might not have been Mafia, but they are gone. Sirocco is currently gone, and we believe them to be Mafia. Zephyr is suspected Mafia.

That leaves us with... us, who are not mafia, Dust Devil, who we are going under the assumption is not, Mistral, same.

... I don't know if that gets us anywhere, but that is where we are. I guess the biggest question is, how many groups do we think are Mafia? Are there ones who are still under the radar?

Are you close to anyone else on the teams? I could try talking to Roxy.

I'll speak to Obsidian and Onyx. They're on my team and I'm close with them as well. I would have said Tama, but... well.

I can also protect Ochre if you want. I have an ability to protect one team every night.

Both him and that investigator person seem like good roles to keep around.

It might not be a bad idea. It would make the mafia waste a turn. But... is there anyone else who it would be better to protect? I... don't think so.

To be honest, I was not certain what I was doing, and have already used my power. My ability is to reveal the jobs of one group if I die. I have used it on Mistral. It might be of help, however, even though we are tentatively believing them.

Who would you prefer?

Hm. Let's protect Ochre this round. If he truly is the cop, he will be useful, and protecting an information source is always useful.

True. But I also think he's the one less likely to get targeted. Mistral... on the other hand... they were pretty public.

Hm.

[She thinks for a moment.]

That is a good point. I could probably go with that.

[But Ochre.... No. He can take care of himself.]

You died! Sorry about that, but you don't have much time to dwell upon your practically bedazzled self. You're whisked some palce else.
