In the "are you a mouse" way or the "how did you even survive to be in your mid-20s" way?

[outstandingbalance]

The second one.

[cerealpunner]

Talent's how, for the record.

[outstandingbalance]

I'll make a note of it.

[cerealpunner]

Uh huh.

Though it's probably a lie. Grueling drilling and training from Batman is probably the real answer.

[outstandingbalance]

If we do get eaten, Amethyst had private posts with everyone in this clue, with Iolite, Carnelian and Citrine.

That's who could have known where we were going behind the scenes.

[cerealpunner]

Guess Citrine had a change of heart.

[those votes, man]

[outstandingbalance]

Citrine didn't listen to start with, and brought up Amethyst in a thread with Peridot.

[cerealpunner]

Well... guess we'll see where this goes, then.

[outstandingbalance]

[sighs at that, looking distant as she considers]

[cerealpunner]

[. . . oh come on, Baker]

Well, this is going to be fun.

[outstandingbalance]

Not feeling good about your odds?

[cerealpunner]

Not if we haven't knocked out any of the mice.

I've already been up to vote once and while people are pretty sure I might be one of the children, there's enough things floating around to make people suspicious.

Either that, or we vote on the other two and the mice pick Emerald off since I guess Emerald would be seen as pretty reliable by that point. Either way, last stop.

[outstandingbalance]

Doubtful. They won't want to narrow the field on themselves. Until we know for sure we have the mouse in your clue, there's not much reason to eat from it.

Unless they just want to mess with us.

[cerealpunner]

I dunno. Something feels really off...

[outstandingbalance]

Can't argue that.

[cerealpunner]

So what do you think of things so far?

[outstandingbalance]

Specifically, or in general?

[cerealpunner]

Both?

[outstandingbalance]

I think there's something weird going on with the last clue, and maybe something weird with this one too. I can't say yet.

I don't think you're a mouse. Not just because I know you, but because how you're playing doesn't make sense for a mouse. And I still don't think Peridot is a mouse, but I don't know what game they're playing.

[cerealpunner]

I'm more than a bit of a daredevil but even putting myself up in the first round is a strategy I would say makes absolutely no sense.

[outstandingbalance]

There's still the chance that could be bad luck on your part, but it seems unlikely.

[cerealpunner]

... have you talked to Kunzite?

[outstandingbalance]

Luna's mostly handling them, but I'm keeping an eye on it.

[cerealpunner]

What do you think between Kunzite and Carnelian?
