Leap before you look

I believe he's addressed as the Riku Replica.

From:

Oh! I guess I just got my shorthand all scratched up. I can't tell with all these nicknames what's Poochie for? I think some of my notes on the favorite animals got mixed up here...

From:

Hey there! Sorry we were late -- I crashed and slept a lot, and I think Alec had some kind of business to attend to -- just got back. What's up?

From:

That's fine! We've been out of it too. Basically we've been playing catch up with yesterday and since you guys figured out the clue we think it's a good idea to talk to you! 'cause if you were wolves you've been a lot more helpful than some sheep, but we wanna believe we can trust you.

From:

Thanks! I just let Alec handle the clue, though, it was way over my head. He's good at that kinda stuff though.

But yeah, we're not wolves. It'd be nice to be able to work with someone. With all the special roles we've been really playing it cautious. You wouldn't think it to look at him but Alec's really paranoid too.

Can I ask what your thoughts are on the situation and stuff?

From:

Still, neither of us figured it out, so you're still way better off than we are!

Well, we both thought that outta the three teams in the clue the Crow ones were most suspicious. Only for me it was 'cause I thought Momoko was acting normal and Chisame too, even if she wasn't around a lot. Plus that night before they just randomly voted for the Princess team and left. So Mytho voted for them even if he was supposed to wait for a reason first.

We don't know what's up with the votes really. Musou Note's been pretty suspicious to us anyway! And I think they'd be one of the first people the wolves would try to eat if they weren't on the same side, so that means they could be the Thief or Informant maybe? Mostly we're trying to think of who's the most innocent and go from there.

Can we ask about the special charm you got yesterday? Mytho thinks it ties in with all the special role stuff that's been going on that we don't get.

From:

The special charm? I dunno if it was anything much in the way of special roles. It meant that I could protect one person of my choice that one night, with a 50% success rate -- like, a cointoss to see if it actually worked.

Out of the teams in the clue... heh. I thought the Pufferfish were most suspicious. That's what my gut instinct says, and I don't think they've stopped being suspicious today! But Alec argued with me that the Crow team seemed more suspicious, so since I'd been so vehement the night before I let him pick. I still think that we missed though and that Pufferfish are a wolf team. Could be wrong, but what the hell -- that's my gut instinct!

I totally think Musou Note's been suspicious. If they're not a wolf they're on the wolves' side. Their behaviour's totally acting like they're obscuring things.

From:

That coincides with what we understand of the charm and roles. So the wolves must have understood it as well and gone for another. With no clues we have been trying to uncover the alliances of the special roles.

...we thought you to be the Seer on the first night. Because of your name, A Shot in the Dark. We know the wolves did not try to eat you, so we believe Musou Note is the ally they uncovered. That or Team Vector.

From:

Any luck so far?

Well, we picked the name in the post before the roles were handed out. Did you still think that-? Team Vector -- that's that loud aggressive guy and the smooth and in control businessman, right? I'd think they'd be more likely to be the wolves' ally, but that may just be 'cause I'm pretty convinced Musou Note are wolves.

From:

It is all the more reason. I believe the questions we answered and the names we chose for ourselves, or in our case Bart chose for us, determined what we would become in the game. Your name was that of a Seer's. Your actions are that of a sheep or ally. That's why we used our vote to protect you on the first night. But we did not know for sure it was the right move until later.

From:

So what do the tights mean for you guys?

You were protecting us? I hope we don't seem totally paranoid, but how were you so sure?

From:

Wait, wait, I can answer that one! See, in my world superheroes wear tights when fighting crime! And Mytho does that too only he just wears tights 'cause of ballet. But maybe when he's off saving people he uses his ballet powers too, so it's almost like a superhero! Even if he says it's 'cause he's a prince. So that's why our name's about tights!

Annnnd we weren't! All we knew is you couldn't be the one the wolves found out about on the first night, since the Innocent saved 'em when our vote didn't! And we know for sure the Thief stole either the Informant or Seer's power. We thought that meant the wolves found the Thief first, and then the Thief stole the Seer's power and that meant the sheep'd really be in trouble! But really we just put our vote on you based on a hunch since we don't get the neat power of being able to tell who's who, we just sorta crossed our fingers and hoped for the best!

But you believe us about being the Protector right?

From:

I'll believe you if you answer one question.

Do you know who the Innocent is?

From:

We do. They were the ones we protected last night.

From:

Okay, then that confirms it.

We're the Seer! Maiden/Ruffian were wolves. So are Musou Note. We've, uh, only managed to identify wolves so far.

I was gonna identify Pufferfish last night, 'cause we totally think they're wolves too, but the thief found us and blocked it. But we know if Musou Note doesn't end the game, the other is either Pufferfish or Bunny and Baka.

From:

There's something else too. Mytho thinks that since we stopped the Innocent from being eaten the Shepherd wanted to make things fair by giving up our identity to the wolves. He said something that'd point to Mytho if they paid attention. About how the protector was like in a storybook.

We think if they know who everybody is on their side that means tonight they'll get the Thief to steal our powers and eat either you or us, maybe even try for the Innocent again.

From:

Okay, on the upside, a bunch of us know who the wolves are. I'm working with one sheep, as well as you two. So even if one of us goes tonight, we've still got a lot of us who know what's up. It'd suck if any of us goes out, but on the upside, we've got a few of us who know what's going on.

The thief targeted me last night, not you, so if I get blocked tonight again we'll at least know they didn't figure out the storybook clue.

From:

Can we ask who that is? It'd be nice to know for future reference and that way whoever's left after tonight can talk to 'em too.

That's probably 'cause of the protection charm. Tonight the wolves might wanna try for it if they've got better chances and they didn't pick up on it. Or they might go for the Innocent again!

From:

I'd wanna get their permission before I passed their name on. Actually, can I give that team your identity? I know they're safe because the shepherd told them we were the Seer team, and told them a secret about our team to use as a password so we could be sure.

Yeah, that's true. Well, we can hope for the best, I guess.

From:

Yes, if you are sure they are sheep then we agree. And you can use the Shepherd's own words to prove our identity.

We are still trying to decide whether to cast our vote for your team or the Innocent this round. If the wolves suspect us they would likely use both the Thief's power and eat us to be sure. Or, if they fear you more, disable us from protecting you. Then your only chance would be the one in four charm the Innocent carries. Do you have an opinion of the best course of action?

From:

All right. I'll pass that on. You can work out with the Innocent if you want to keep the Innocent's identity a secret?

I think it would always be better to have up two people we're suspicious of than one wolf and one person we know should be kept. Just because of the risk of a wolf pile-on. Like, okay, so. There's me, my sheep ally, you, and the Innocent. If, say, I go up, then only three of our side can vote. However, even with a wolf up with us, there's a wolf left, as well as two wolf allies, so they have three votes too. So it'd be down to whether or not the remaining people believed us or them to be suspicious, and I dunno if we can afford that. If either we or the Innocent got voted out tonight I'd feel really dumb about it.

Anyway, since the suspicion poll is anonymous, if I were you I'd try to get up both Musou Note and one of the two animal teams. Probably Pufferfish. That way, our side's vote's got more sway and we're more likely to get Musou Note out. Or so I think anyway.

From:

You know and we know and 'course they know, but it's up to them if they wanna step forward.

Okay, we haven't voted yet. There's not really a reason for it but I think Chisame's team is pretty innocent. Both of them were classmates with the Maiden team and when you've got friends involved in the game I think you work harder. We'll put our vote on Pufferfish but tell everybody to vote for Musou Note tonight.

From:

Well, yeah, I meant in regards to the sheep team? Who should be contacting you shortly. Eh, I'll ask 'em.

Yeah, I dunno Chisame much or anything, I think we've talked once or twice in passing, but their team just seems... normal. They haven't done anything to get our attention anyway. Thanks!

From:

We're in contact with the team Bart says is known for their shoulderpads as we speak. And are telling them of our plan. Thank you.

From:

No prob! It's good if we can all find each other, right?

From:

Yeah! I don't know what we'd of done if we didn't accidentally find everybody else. Probably gotten more confused!

From:

Hi! Um, I think it's important that Musou Note goes up tonight, so if they're still not guaranteed and you see this in time, can I ask you to switch to them? I'd understand if you don't want to, but...

From:

No, sorry, we got your message a little too late ~~damn you gmail~~

From:

It's okay... I'll vote for Pufferfish and identify Bunny, I guess.

From:

It wasn't the crow team either. We're in trouble.

From:

Yes. Well, let's do what we can.

From:

D'you think you're wrong about Pufferfish? Odds are better to vote for Momoko anyway, but I still can't shake the feeling that Vector's in on the wolves' side.

From:

I could definitely be wrong. But I really feel like the vote pile-up on Vector was to avoid Musou Note going up. I don't know if that means Pufferfish is innocent, or if they decided not to risk two wolf teams going up, or if Pufferfish is an ally they're willing to sacrifice to save a wolf. But I do think Vector is innocent.

H-hopefully I'm not wrong. But as well as all that, Musou Note immediately voted for Vector, so...

From:

You may have been right -- or at least, Pufferfish was in the clear, because Bunny and Baka are the Informant team. Telling you now in case I go out tonight.

From:

We know. And we put our vote on you, for all the good it may do.

Thanks. And sorry if you do, 'cause we really tried.
