[WEEK 1, SATURDAY POST-TRIAL: Lief]

[hey Lief where are you]

[because a witch in pink is approaching]

[and getting your attention]

[by throwing a balled up crumpled piece of paper in his direction]

I imagine it depends on what, exactly, the purpose these murders serve.

[He glances to the side, recalling the Rithmere Games (and the Shadow Arena, though he had thankfully never been a participant). His tone is bitter.]

I would not be surprised if it truly were for entertainment alone—though if that is the sole reason, that may not help us to predict how the Chiefs may run this game.

[she nods. they've been over that one before. . . trying to predict who the Chiefs would choose for roles is a nightmare when one doesn't know their entire motivations. she doesn't try to breach that topic again, instead keeping straight to game mechanics]

If the purposes is just entertainment, then it would make sense that killing everyone with such a role would end this entire charade.

But if the purpose is something much deeper-- such as the killing roles being necessary to eliminate a far more dangerous role-- then perhaps the game wouldn't end if they were all dead.

[BUT AGAIN. . .]

It's still too early to say, of course. This is the part I hate the most.

... That is cause for concern as well. It seems like something the Chiefs would do—obscure a threat with another one. What could this other role be, though, if it exists?

[He sighs.]

I am beginning to wish I had a role, if only to perhaps have more information!

I know!

[she wails. dramatically]

At least then I could laugh to myself about how none of the island fools know better while drinking my mai tai.

That would require you to have such a drink, role or no.

... And I wonder if you would truly be laughing.

Of course I'd be laughing. I've practiced my ohohohoho~ and everything, just for a moment like that one.

Well, your moment has already passed, so let us hear it.

Nope! No sneak previews. You'll just have to wait for me to find another moment in which I get to use it.

Very well—though I would hope that I am not one of the people you intend to keep in the dark, as that would render our agreement moot.

Hmph! There's no point in it, now. If I don't have a role for myself. . . I'll just have to smoke 'em aaaaalll out.

[having no secrets makes it MUCH easier to pry into other people's :)]

And I hope you return the favor.

Of course.

[a beat]

I am almost afraid for those who do have roles, if they have to watch out for you.

[she grins. claps her hands together, and prompts them on her hips]

As you should be. I am, after all, the Great Witch Magilou! The terrifying mistress whom before all prostrate themselves in fear!
