GAME 2: Wolves

[ Each wolf will receive a text stating:
Now
Meet other wolves
Female's W.C.
3rd cubicle
Flush three times

They also have the option to reply to the message. (Ping me if this happens!)

And if they follow the instructions, the wall behind the cubicle will slowly reveal a ~ secret path ~ to a secret room.

Except, this room is also a washroom. But it looks pretty swag, like a hotel's bathroom. There's a bathtub, a shower, a toilet with a bidet, a HUGEass mirror, and the floor is carpeted. It seems like a pretty private place for you and your fellow wolves to plot in.

Have fun! ]

Day 3 plotting

[personal profile] inspectormacarena 2015-04-24 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shortly after the 'safe sheep' clue is delivered, along with the notion that the people who turned to glass weren't murdered, Cabanela will leave some subtle hunts for the remaining wolves to gather in the secret bathroom. There's planning to be done, because deaths or no deaths, they're in hot water now. Words that he heard from Luca that morning are still ringing in his head: "There must be something in it for them, if they're still continuing to play." ...What is in it for them? It's as if an unseen force is having them play to the best of their ability.

He sits on the rim of the bathtub, legs crossed and one hand pressed against his chin.]


Alright boooys, gather 'round. Here's the dealio. Things are gonna get miiighty tricky from here on out. Shades had it right when he said that by process of elimination, there's three remaining teams left unmentioned, one of which would be wolves. It'd be between myself and Mr. Jesse, Mr. Dandy and Miss Diana, and the dimwitted detective duo. There's no weaselin' out of that, so it's up to us to cast suspicion onto one of the ooother two teams.

Now, the question is, will the sheep act on that knowledge? I get the feelin' that some of them have their doubts about the results of the very first ousting, meaning Mr. Nagi and Mr. Lockhart aren't out of the woods yet. There's aaalways a chance they'll let those doubts get the best of 'm and undo the luck that tying the votes left us with.

[Honestly, if he was in the sheep's shoes, he'd be doing the same thing. The results of the randomized ousting were highly suspect. Yuuki and Aoi have been keeping such a low profile it'd be hard to peg them as wolves and he wouldn't believe that Kelly and Emily were wolves- especially after the way Hans accused them. Which is exactly the principle his back-up plan his based on, but they'll get to that when they get to that.]

Now, let's swap some ideas, baby. I wanna hear your thoughts, suggestions and whatever else comes to miiind. I've got one plan to offer up, but it's gonna be aaall the way on the bottom of the list. Plan Z, if you will. It's a gamble and depending on how things play out, we might not get to use it at all.

Day 3 plotting

[personal profile] yeahscience 2015-04-25 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jesse has been a wreck all day. For once, he's all too happy to go to the secret room when he gets the cue from Cabanela; at least here he can talk to people. He sits down against the wall, knees jiggling, a cigarette in his shaking hand, and listens to his partner.

It makes sense. It all makes sense, what he's saying. Jesse's even pretty sure that the little crystal-clear part of him in the back of his mind -- the part of him that tends to work things out when everything else is chaos -- has figured out what Cabanela's plan will look like. There's just one problem:]


No way, man. I'm out. I can't--

[He shakes his head and sucks on his cigarette, exhaling sharply.]

Do you really believe what the badger said? We killed those people!
inspectormacarena: (Ballerino)

[personal profile] inspectormacarena 2015-04-25 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[For what it's worth, Cabanela does feel bad about Jesse being dragged into all this. Some people cope with stress better than others and this? This is beyond stressful. Just look at him, he's supposed to be a trained investigator and he hasn't slept in two nights. He's cracking pretty badly too.

That's all the more reason to finish this as soon as possible.]


I have reason to believe him, baby. The prince and I had a little plaaan going. Right before he was ousted, I gave him a tracking device to hold onto for me. Figured he'd disappear just like the others did, so imagine my surprise when he didn't. He turned to glass, so did his clothes and everything in his pockets. You'd thiiink that was the end of the tracking device, but it wasn't. I spent all night lookin' for it.

[He takes out his pocketwatch, allowing it to dangle from his fingers by the chain.] This little trinket of mine can't give an estimation on altitudes. It was pointing me towards the seats when I should've been searching above them.
yeahscience: ([4-5] alarmed)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2015-04-25 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
S--Seriously?

[Jesse stares at the watch for a second, then scrambles to his feet to grab hold of it and look more closely.]
inspectormacarena: (Coupé)

[personal profile] inspectormacarena 2015-04-25 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cabanela will allow him to take it, but he's keeping a close eye on Jesse nonetheless.]

Careful with that. It's a delicate piece of art. Not to mention, expeeensive.
yeahscience: ([4-5] are you there god it's me jesse)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2015-04-26 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, it's not like he's never handled expensive drugs equipment things before. He's careful as he holds the watch up to get a good look at the screen, the rapid rise and fall of his chest gradually slowing to match the steady rhythm of the little blip that pulses there. Pointing in the direction of the stage.

Or--]
The balcony.

[He swallows and looks up, holding the watch back out to Cabanela.]

Jesus. That was-- that was really smart, man. [He smiles shakily.] Nice work.
inspectormacarena: (Allongé)

[personal profile] inspectormacarena 2015-04-26 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Yup, he's slipping that watch back into his pocket where it belongs. As for the following remark, he manages a bit of a grimace and a shake of the head.]

I'm the Chief of Special Investigations, baby. I have to think on my feet. Now, I'm not saying this confirms their survival, but I had some of that glass covering my own arm on the first day and it turned out to be haaarmless. [Terrifying, but harmless in hindsight. His hand and arm are fine.]
yeahscience: ([flood] suit #3)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2015-04-26 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, only your arm didn't disappear afterwards.

[But, okay. He's calming down. He's calmer. He still has the cigarette stuck between two fingers, so he takes another drag and wipes the sweat from his brow with the other hand.]

Okay. So we're all good. And we can win tonight if we're careful, right?
inspectormacarena: (Ballerino)

[personal profile] inspectormacarena 2015-04-26 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[That's a tough question. Cabanela's never had to suffer through a game quite like this before and he did the math several times, but he's still not sure he's got it right.]

In a way. If we can vote out one of the sheep teams during ousting, then take out another as wolves, there'll be only four left come morning. We need to cut them down to three teams, regaaardless of our own numbers, so even if they try to oust one of us tomorrow, they'd be powerless to stop the remaining wolves from ending the game. ... So yeeeah, if we can cast suspicion on one of their own teams tonight and they act on it, we'll have it in the bag.
yeahscience: ([4-5] papasan)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2015-04-26 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
So really tomorrow night, but it'd be like that-- that chess thing, right? Where you can win, like, ten moves in advance or whatever?

[Because hey it would be great if they could win, like, right now. Time to talk strategy.]

So who do we try to finger? That Dandy creep?
inspectormacarena: (Coupé)

[personal profile] inspectormacarena 2015-04-26 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Teeempted as I am to do just that, I've heard speculation that our local detective duo might be wolves. They're easier targets for dirt slinging, too. Neither of them has any clue what's going on here, despite supposedly being employed by the police force that's "sponsoring" this whole shindig. [Which is very suspect either way, wolves or no wolves.]

Besiiides, Shades is taking the reigns an awful lot, demanding information left and right. One might almost think that this ain't his first rodeo.
yeahscience: ([4-5] rly)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2015-04-26 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. I can work with that, no problem. Not like it's gonna be hard to pretend like I don't trust the fuzz.

No offense.

[Some offense.]
inspectormacarena: (Coryphée)

[personal profile] inspectormacarena 2015-04-26 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
None taken. [...Some of it taken.]

Now, the trick is nooot to be pushy about this. And we still have no guarantee they won't go back on the first night's ousting just to play it safe. If I were in theeeir shoes, it's what I would do.
yeahscience: ([4-5] what about a--)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2015-04-26 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but if they do, we have Lockhart pin it on us, right? That's what you were gonna say before? Then they're like, "No way, can't be them, man, that's some mad desperation." Except, you know, what if it is us, right? Then it obviously can't be them.

That's if we can even do that without the signal getting all scrambled, though. Plus maybe they just kick all our asses out to be on the safe side.

[SEE, MR. WHITE, SOMETIMES HE GETS STUFF.]

[personal profile] inspectormacarena 2015-04-26 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Nice try, Jesse, but there's one thing you're missing. It involves the rules.]

Ahh, but have you forgotten? One team cannot out another team. If they do, they'll be punished. If those two were to accuse us of being wolves for the sake of revealing the truth, there'd be cooonsequences. Therefore, if consequences don't happen, people will haaave to assume that they were lying. That we would, without a doubt, be sheep and we would be safe for the remainder of the game.

[This is the most underhanded, backwards and despicable ploy he's ever concocted, but that's why it's Plan Z instead of Plan A. Another reason it's Plan Z is, of course, the risk involved. Playing with fire means you might get burned.]

Now, why do I suspect consequences won't happen? Because the point wouldn't have been to reveal the truth, it would've been to hide the truth. All part of playing a mean little undercover game, which is exaaactly what our host wants from us. You got that, Mr. Baaadger? [He turns to cast a gaze towards the mirror, even if he doubts the badger will show his face again.]

...aha! That is a fantastic idea, if I do say so myself... I'm really rather surprised I didn't come up with it, even!

[AH... THERE GOES THE EGO...]

So, if we come under suspicion, we should make ourselves look absolutely as suspicious as possible... and then, we could theoretically have more people on the other side! I'm honestly as glad as anyone that the people who were... ah... taken weren't actually turned to glass, but if it's simply a matter of transportation, then I'm sure we could have people working to get out on both sides!
yeahscience: ([1-3] srsly?)

[personal profile] yeahscience 2015-04-26 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
...what? No. If someone starts going after you, you go after us.

[He gestures to himself and Cabanela.]

This shit is a Hail Mary, not a sacrifice play.
pestsandplagiarism: you have to... (i certainly care yes)

[personal profile] pestsandplagiarism 2015-04-27 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, that's what I meant, even though I have absolutely no clue what any of this has to do with Catholicism! I should hope that it doesn't come to that, but for all we know... anything can happen!
