I think for this round we should split our votes so it doesn't look like we're voting in a block. That will give us some wiggle room later.

If one or the both of you can vote for Saber that would be great. I'm not voting for the uber-creep so I'll vote for Devon.

[interpersonally]

I was leaning toward voting for Devon, especially after finding out he, allegedly, made a pact with the devil.

@ Klaus, how do you feel about voting down Saber?

[poppycock]

I would be interested in hearing what Lestat has to say, regardless.

I'm more inclined towards Devon as a wolf, but I'm curious what we believe is gained by splitting the vote. If we vote with the majority——say, the likes of Saber or Danny——we stand a better chance of not being targeted.

[highlyemotional]

I don't think it makes sense for it to be Danny and he and Saber are too close right now. And I, a woman, am not voting for Saber because I think he might keep a tally and he creeps me out.

[interpersonally]

Don't vote for Saber.

Lestat says that he believes it could be Danny because his devil's pact granted him powers. Powers that could have had a hand in killing that angel.

I can't believe I just typed the words, that angel.

Astarion is also going to vote for Devon, because I spoke to Lestat. I was leaning toward voting for Devon as well.

[poppycock]

( klaus, on the other hand, is taking a short moment to check his frustrations over what seems to him an easier, safer decision. saber or danny; they're both six of one, half a dozen of the other.

one, long breath. )

Devon is the risk. Are you both committed to this?

[interpersonally]

I also agree with Caroline, that keeping Saber out of the proceedings could keep him from murdering for fun. That won't help anything.

[interpersonally]

But, I went with Devon. Because I somehow convinced Astarion. And I believe he really could have done it. Let's try and get out a wolf.

Klaus, split hairs. Danny or Saber?

[poppycock]

( let's try and get out a wolf.

the second best option, he supposes, to avoiding their notice. )

Well if we're all voting for who we like, I'd rather not. Devon it is.

[interpersonally]

From Stephen Strange, this morning:

[poppycock]

( not surprised, but a little annoyed )

What important information to have shared with you yesterday.

( moving on )

Let’s discuss how we might approach the next round of unceremonious murders.

First, I propose relying on our own investigative efforts.

Further than that, who do we believe may truly offer us useful information?

Gale is in my number, personally.

[interpersonally]

Stephen is mine. I'm meeting him in person today to go over evidence he couldn't send me via message. Should we both survive, I think he will have useful information. He seems to be involved in different groups.

I think it hasn't been lost on any of us that Katherine has been biding her time. She left me on read. She could be useful for information. Or a wolf.

[poppycock]

( stefan you’re so lucky you’re cute )

Let me rephrase: who do we believe may offer us truly useful information that we also trust?

[interpersonally]

I trust Stephen.

Caroline?

[highlyemotional]

Gale and Astarion.

I'm game to do the investigating ourselves next time. I wanted to check out Peony this round but all of the diamonds went for Jake instead.

I sort of know one of the soccer girls on my team, I could take her with so we're not grouped up by species again.

[interpersonally]

I've spoken to Shauna, but I don't know any of them well. Our familiarity is from the Saltburnt that wasn't. She was running a cult.

What are the chances truth is stranger than fiction here.

[poppycock]

Wonderful. Perhaps you'll be able to suss out how accurate Stephen's information may be.

I assume the chances are high. Not quite different from our own world, then.

Stefan, how about we also plan to investigate separately? We'll divide and conquer.

Now that's settled, what about this meeting with Kai? Caroline?

[highlyemotional]

It went perfectly fine. We tabled some discussions so we're going to talk again on Saturday.

[ you know, if they're both still alive. ]

[interpersonally]

She tabled some discussions.

[poppycock]

You went alone.

( everything's fine it's totally fine!!!!!!!!! )

What discussions were tabled?

[highlyemotional]

Bonnie.

And this discussion is tabled until then as well. It was fine, it will be fine, he was fine. He gave me a week to figure out how to say I'll give up my best friend without interference without wanting to blow chunks. Okay?

[poppycock]

( one of the downsides of being human is klaus has recently rediscovered headaches )

You won't abandon Bonnie. Thankfully, I've already started putting in place useful failsafe measures.

Did he inquire after you?

[highlyemotional]

[ bruh. ]

I just said this discussion is tabled too.

[interpersonally]

Tabling this discussion, too, and in lieu of no blood being shed, if the timelines line up correctly, then I believe we have your birthday and then the reveal of the second round of this game.

I think we should celebrate.

[poppycock]

( well the discussion is over, but klaus is of the opinion he got his answer anyway, didn’t he? )

Of course we should. Happy birthday, Caroline.
