Sounds fair. I'm going to talk to them privately too, but I don't know any of them particularly well.

[crueltobekind]

I'll let you know what I think of them once I've had more time to feel things out.

[outstandingbalance]

I'd appreciate it.

I'm sticking with my gut on this one. Tiger's Eye still feels more suspicious to me. It's not anything they've done, but Coral—even if it might be likely that a mouse team would immediately ask about votes to make themselves look innocent, they said something . . . very naive when they spoke with us in private.

Shark thought that a mouse team might want to eat someone from the clue, but that's just ridiculous. There's no reason a mouse team would want to narrow down the list of teams they could cast suspicion onto. It's too much of a high risk move, and I think that if Coral were mice they'd have thought more seriously about that option and realized it. They're either clueless children, or very, very naive mice, but being naive just isn't like those two at all.

Tiger's Eye hasn't done anything suspicious, really, but the way Coral's been acting is enough for me to feel certain about trusting them. I might change my mind during ousting, of course. Whoever goes up will be saying a lot more, and it'll be even easier to make decisions then, but that's where I'm at right now.

I'll give that's a strange thing to say... I still feel like they've been more off than Tiger's Eye.

As it is, I already put Amethyst's vote on Coral.

I guess we'll see who cracks.

What makes them feel off to you? I haven't seen everything they've said, and you must be talking with them privately too . . . If there's something I've missed then I want to hear about it.

[outstandingbalance]

They've felt very defensive in private. Quick to situate themselves as under attack, or unfairly interrogated. They also mentioned that they didn't see how they could offer me any insight, being in the clue. That struck me as odd seeing as how if they were children, they ought to be looking at you and Peridot as a fifty-fifty shot. Saying something like that drives home that they're no more suspicious than you two... makes it sound like they have a reason to suspect themselves.

[crueltobekind]

That . . . really is strange. It's strange no matter which role they're in. I could argue it making them suspicious or innocent— What the heck are they doing?

[outstandingbalance]

It could be you're right and they're too naive either way, but it doesn't fit for me.

It could also be they're not thinking straight from the last time they played this game. They're upfront about their history there.

[crueltobekind]

Yeah . . . Anyone who played in the last game will have a harder time.

[outstandingbalance]

Something else to keep in mind.
