When: Day 11, morningish
Where: Dragon's portrait
What:

[Today, scaled talons reach out and grab each of the Celestes in turn, pulling them into Dragon's cave. Dragon itself is there, lounging on the floor, the bones of animals strewn all around. It surveys them lazily.]

Celeste. I have a proposition for you.

Re: PLANNING PART 2

Mostly right! But two fucking things. A: we have no goddamn guarentee there aren't other teams being given this same goddamn deal. If this isn't exclusive and we try and hold it over them, it could backfire fucking majorly.

And second, we're first on the chopping block when they have to kill someone, but we're getting pity points too. Last game? Just one goddamn set of wolves sent to us, and there were a hell of a lot more that could have sicced them on us. Dor's been out and about, clearly goddamn harmless, if we let people think her puppy-dog eyes are running the show around here after our first few "slip-ups" we might still have a chance. Not to mention we've still got more goddamn useful abilities than any other team I've noticed. Making ourselves valuable to them isn't out of the goddamn picture yet.

We skip the 'Ally with us based on an exclusive deal' and go for alliances? Mix and match. Team up with Celeste, get a nice no conflict deal and you get Dory and Jackal. Fuck with us and we make every game we get a living nightmare for them.

Re: PLANNING PART 2

So still in favor of singling us out, and hoping it doesn't ruin the vestiges of advantages we've got? We'll see if we can sell it like that after the game.

Re: PLANNING PART 2

Making ourselves valuable based on skills only works until other teams get theirs back. Temporarily it might work, but we'll just be buying time, and if we hit a losing streak because of no allies...

Re: PLANNING PART 2

[acquest]

Yeah, we're fucked. So it comes down to this: if you think our position right now is fuckawful we've got nothing to lose, and that we might gain shit by taking the risk.

Re: PLANNING PART 2

[remarch]

And we know other teams are hiding shit. We've got no idea what they might be covering up to give themselves an advantage. We'd be betting it all on guessing either way- are we more useful to them as a scapegoat or as a skill set?

Re: PLANNING PART 2

[acquest]

And betting on if the Dragon will rat us out or not.

But I want some other fucking team to be the first caught making this deal. Let's force someone else to be visibly hated, if we make ourselves visible we're still not providing an alternate fucking target. We raise ourselves up, we can work on tearing someone else down.

Re: PLANNING PART 2

Deal. We look for allies based on skills and pretend to play normally at no risk. See if we can keep the 'nice ones' from making a vote, pretend dormouse and jackal have more sway while seeing if we can get more of these deals.

We get outted, we just go to plan B.

[ YES I CONVINCED HIM!? ]

Fuck yes! Deal!

[March logic:

If his paranoia is right, they'all be out and have to go to plan B anyway, and if that does happen he gets to use it as ammunition next time they argue over strategy.

If he's wrong, he won't be disproven for his agreement and they have time to talk to the other portraits and see if this might be an option more often. Oh and maybe beat Bunny further into team MurderSpirit so they have numbers next time the moral squishes have those feels they're prone to.]

[ SOUNDS LEGIT TO ME

Shark logic:

I am not fucking losing the few advantages we have on a risk and ending up in a worse position for no goddamn reason. We stay the way we are: we bide time until we can shove someone else down, and grab for all possible advantages along the way.

we are good people ]
