Everyone was already beginning to doubt each other.

Hard not to, Kalhavar thought. Urithiru was filled with too many faces he didn't recognise, though he thought some of them might know each other a little better. A man in clothes such an eye-devouring shade of utter black Kalhavar privately suspected he had issues with Shin assassins had caught his eye as he seemed to twitch at the slightest disturbance in the Tower. Still, Kalhavar thought the man was probably not one the enemies the Sibling had apparently alerted Navani about, though Kalhavar resolved to keep an eye on him.

Both Tim and the other [OOC: Penguin], in their various ways, seemed artless, as though they were struggling to acclimate to life in the Tower. Difficulty enough without being one of the Enemy, though Kalhavar would be the first to agree it didn't exonerate them. Perhaps one of the Enemy would struggle, too. He didn't think any of it warranted strong conclusions so early on. Yet a good tunnel—running through Shadesmar, as the best did—always required you to start from somewhere. Usually, by ascertaining your ground, figuring out where was the best sort of starting place. The last thing you wanted to do was to take money to accidentally send someone somewhere dangerous.

His business partner had her own views about that, but since Uille got a share of the take, Kalhavar thought that he'd really rather not be managing her wanderlust on a regular basis.

'Course, he'd yet to see hide or hair of that client who'd asked for a Premium Shadesmar TunnelTM to somewhere sunny by the sea, with a gentle breeze; a warm place with no memory. [OOC: TJ.] Wasn't ready to draw conclusions about it just yet, but Kalhavar would be damned if he let someone up and stiff him like that.

Imagine e/e/e Kas, Striker and TJ

Then TJ would only need to be an elim with Kas 9 more times before Kas can retire! It's what Kas always dreamed of.

Hi, I'm here. This is going to be crazy. 

I heard from a little birdy that if you don’t vote, it counts as voting for yourself, so The Unknown Order ( @A Jo in the Bush, changing my name now that my game is over)

Whatchu gonna do now???

I also heard there's game building in the dead doc so I figure I just do this every turn until I get there.

Hmm, on second thoughts, maybe it's a good thing. As long as as we're not evil together, he can never retire :P.

Cena is village (if not village, why people cheer??)

Also, why is TUA doing his best me-impression from his game? Do you have a secret eliminate yourself win-con???

 

Edit: right i forgot if you don't vote it counts as voting for yourself anyway >>

Shaking my head. In the previous case, at TUF.

Factually incorrect, though I appreciate the compliment. 

I am buzzed (no, not like STINK, the other kind). There is a difference. 

I will (probably) be going actually bald for Halloween when I dress up as my wrestling coach. Speaking of Halloween:

More like that one neighborhood that has like 2 houses actually giving out candy. You have to work for it.

Theoretically, it could refer to me, but I'm guessing in this case that Polly is "shaking my head" at the one and only SMH.

It took me a bit to figure out when I had an F name. It amuses me greatly how different people use different initials depending on when they first played with me.

I think I picked up saying TUF in like, Steel’s MR or smth. I’m kind of bummed that you didn’t keep the area, if only so I could make Hawk TUA jokes

Now I'm very glad I changed now

Area was always intended to be temporary. I figured Order was thematic for this game.

Talinele watched the strange-looking chicken that appeared to be accusing him. What kind of insanity was this? He was also very weary of a mysterious figure by the name of TJ.

Sorry! I used a random number generator and it rolled 7, which was you

Fair. As long as the random number generator was random.org.

It was another person, somebody sitting next to me. Can't get much more random than human irrationality.

But human irrationality is almost entirely deterministic!

I mean, human irrationality picking seven is like textbook evidence for human randomness being entirely predictable.

But predictability is always random.

I really don't know,  so |TJ|. 

FYI: I'm stuck on mobile for a little bit (my computer locked me out for some long-dead setting), so don't expect any role playing for a little bit.
