Burnt Spaghetti

You should definitely block me i agree. I've already put in the kill order after all. Save Cindra from becoming a killer! --- Cindra was quiet as she walked with the others to the zora hall. She wanted to know what planning was happening, but she felt the anger and distrust that had been directed her way. The stone mask had allowed her to avoid that, the people's attention being directed at another. And she sighed. Completely unjustified as far as she was concerned. After all this loop was the first time she had even been armed! Ignoring the random stick she picked up one point. That ended up just being a walking stick, but technically that could be considered arming herself.

Of course shes still thistles friend, thistles important! ---- Cindra was mentally running numbers as she looked at the survivors. There were still some fighters, they were far from helpless. The more they looped, the more experience each person gained. There were some who had never fought before who now wore hardened expressions and had armed themselves appropriately. But they were missing some of their most skilled. Her eyes moved to the ghost ship and narrowed. This added complexity to the matter. Her hands brushed the stone mask and she felt a flash of annoyance. The stone mask let her move undetected through most spaces and by most people, but gerudo pirates were one of the few things it didnt seem to work on. That and bosses. She didnt like relying on those around her, but she found herself constantly relying on everyone to keep her safe. She would never have been able to reach those crucial masks otherwise. Her thoughts were interrupted as Thistle approached with the Zora child. Ah Thistle. Thistle was such a precious person, cindra found her expression softening into a small smile. It was too bad that Thistle had been caught up in all this. Cindra could see how much this was affecting Thistle, and she couldn't help but wonder if Thistle wouldve been better off if she had not gotten included in the loops and had died oblivious. She had been grateful for her friendship though, and Thistles supplies had been imperative to their journeys. "Hello little one!" Cindra smiled warmly at the child "yes, lets get you home okay? You must have been so scared, but you've been so incredibly brave! Im so proud of you for keeping yourself safe in there, I don't think I'd have lasted nearly half as long as you! I would love for you to show us around the zora hall." Her eyes glanced back to where the fighters were planning and discussion, her expression flickering with something harder before softening again when she looked back at Thistle and Lili.

Hah. Okay you live, that made me laugh. I didn't realize chalk counted as a rock type, so i like that. But coal feels appropriate

Clearly I should always be trusted, you know this Hold on, give me time to cook You can't tell me what to do. Wait, nvm you've been doing that a lot this game. Let me get on that for you! Certainly! They live north of me. You should keep doing that. I'm harmless afterall. @Doc12 Sooo, flower crowns are still on right?

I mean I'd happily share a dead doc with y'all But peoples mail is something i am afraid I am unable to read, as much as I would love that. Imma guess Applepen though

Pineapple

Oops.

Ah cycles about to end! Quick let me hammer something! --- Cindra was fidgeting. Amora was gone, Thistle wanted to be alone, and she didn't know what to do. How was this fractured team meant to win a fight with whatever thing they had to fight when they were weaker and more stressed than they were when they fought the first one. She was stress snacking. She had intended the snacks to be a ration aid but really she now was just stress snacking. She perked up when she saw Thistle return. Shed found a child? In there? She looked at the food she had packed and sighed. None of this was remotely close to anything seafood related. She had no idea if a Zora would eat anything she had. But didn't hurt to try. She approached them, smiled gently and presented her snack collection, "Hello! I don't know if any of this is stuff you'd normally eat, but if you need a sweet snack to get your energy up please help yourself."

Also @Ashbringer @Wahrheitswächter One problem with the codes and the instructions - takes a cycle to equip. So unless youve got someone with a night action you can test on, idk how you're proving that this loop.

In the Tourmaline Commander we trust. --- @Haelbarde The feelings mutual No comment on the rest. Which is not helpful. I'm not sure i can comment on that without giving you a headache either direction --- @ uh.... "me", idk who you are lol. but "Burnt bailed badly and biffed the buy of the stone mask" Love the alliteration btw. But why do the others get more positive ones and mines just i failed Can't Burnt Be Best Buddy or something? --- Well idk who to vote now. Mist for now so that i have a vote down and he has one on him at least. I'm not going to have time until probably tomorrow to properly scrape through the others posts to decide who to vote. All i can say is that this sucks, but at least we're going to know for sure some elims for next loop + tiebreaker. Coco being evil makes things make sense for me. So coco + Mist. But as to who else i need to do more reading of backlog.

Aight. In ash we trust. Keaton it is. --- Time passed, too much. It was so dark. Cindra couldn't see Thistle any more and this was stressing her out. The path they were following was a clear one to follow, but she really didn't want Thistle to be alone out here. Not when there's risk of being attacked by wild creatures and monsters. She pulled one of the others aside quickly "Hey I'm sorry i have to go back. I have to find Thistle and make sure she's safe." She paused for a moment to take out the kitchen knife she'd carefully wrapped in a tea towel from her pack and positioned it, in a very jank way into her belt. She really needed to work out a better way to carry it, she'd thought about getting thistle to weave her a temporary sheath or something if there was time, but there was not. She didn't want to be unarmed out in Terminas fields on her own. She turned, and she began moving quickly the other way. Not a run, it was too dark for that to be safe. But moving quickly, eyes straining to see any signs of Thistle. She didn't call out, not yet. Not until she was nearing where they left her. It had been too long, Thistle hadn't rejoined them. Something was wrong.

Shhh Does this mean you will be going for gibdo? If we have two people going for each purple, then we also have a way of confirming who got what. Otherwise as mist says, they have to be killed to test for that. Which is fine by me, but also if they have stone then we've already wasted the exe, vs knowing that they dont have it, either by not winning the coin flip or by secretly being broke ------------------- Edit for Rp: When Thistle stopped to wait, Cindra's heart ached for her. She wanted to wait, not wanting Thistle to be alone, but she understood. She'd heard the exchange, she knew Thistle would need space. "I know you probably aren't hungry... but I don't know how long you'll be waiting for, so... here. " Cindra pressed some sweets into Thistles hand. "I'll be at the back waiting for you okay?" As they moved on without thistle, she found herself frequently looking back, this time not at the town but at the small silhouette that stayed unmoving on that rock. She found herself saying small prayers for Thistles sake, that Amora would return and Thistle would have all of her people staying by her side.

i feel like this has been one of the most talky nights in a while. Much less rp, many talk

I will go for a purple, I'm not going to say which though. I realize the elims aren't likely to be targeting those of us who were alive last loop, but i still don't love the idea of them knowing who has what, especially when redirects and roleblocks are still a factor.

Its more that you get confirmation that you spent rupees and told which players you sent to. If they don't go through the rupee isn't charged and its not listed in that gm message. --- Cindra found herself constantly glancing back. Every fibre of her body felt tense, waiting for the nightmarish moment they'd experienced twice now when the town fell. She was glad to not be in there, but also, she didnt really want to have a good view of her home being destroyed either. So many of their group had helped the evacuations as well. Would the rest of the town escape? Will Amora get there in time? Her fingers fidgeted with the hem of her blouse. All she could do is keep walking.

Fiiine Been up gaming with friends lol. Lateness doesnt exist when games. But yes I'm going to bed now XD I've been told I put in for postmaster and bunny, but was unsuccessful with both of those. In the meantime, I've just hit 50 rupees now. I've not decided what mask i will go for though as of yet. Kinda not sure if theres much point if yall are just going to kill me for my scan /shrug. Open to recommendations. I swear, maybe one cycle i'll get postmaster. That would be nice xD bidded every round lol So yes, that means I do not have the stone mask, which i really don't love that ash didn't get. Really makes me sure that mist has lied about rupees and mask usage. That or Doc is on a team with him and actually was the one to get the mask. I'm certain that at minimum mist is lying, and entirely possible doc is too. We absolutely need to be testing everyone with pms to check for this. I have exactly 50 rn so if i want to go for a purple then i can't really afford pms today, but would be able to tomorrow if i get my rp in for the cycle, but absolutely would love to have people with spare rupees testing at least Doc and Mistborn, you can pm me too to confirm. Though if thats true that the mask can just be put on in time for exe, possibly a tomorrow problem then. I agree that idea of multiple wagons is good. Possibly also making sure everyone is in the vote count in some form - either voting, or being voted on. That way it will confirm for us. That doesn't really help us with the d2 exe though. Would confirm for day 3, but ultimately just doesn't help us other than making sure we know who had it, who will probably be evil given that they only way someone has the mask right now is if they have lied to us. Also that that is a person not worth using actions on as far as trying to block or redirect night kills or votes. Absolutely a tiebreaker candidate. Is there anyone else who could feasibly afford stone if they had lied about past purchases?

Guys. I. Okay. I follow the reasoning. I do. I appreciate you guys are putting careful thought into things. But. guys. I swear im not lying about the mask result, please. Im going to trust you guys to get this correct. But like. My faith in us is not strong >.> mist Ill move my vote to coco i understand the reasoning. I meant it last cycle when I said I was happy for either a stick or Coco exe. In my perspective it seems sound to vote the richer elim out of a coco/mist pairing. I understand if you want me exed next cycle. But storms please get cycle 3 correct >.> Ill also note- while we have a clear pool to look in for the elims, we shouldn't forget theres probably one in the pool who died. Id be expecting the nk to be coming from the least likely to be blocked, which is not the living pool. -- Ill be at work until after rollover, so will be unlikely to be able to get on again as a heads up

Cindra ran. Then paused. Then detoured slightly. She arrived into the market area, and she proceeded to start purchasing a variety of less perishable foods. Some fruit, a lot of nuts, some sweets. She worked quickly, just wanting to make sure they had some more stuff for the road alongside what she had already packed. Food check. Blankets check. Something to fight with check. And then she continued her rush to Thistles shop, looking like she was packed for a vacation with all the gear she had brought. As she neared, she saw that they were already exiting. "Hey! Phew you guys are ready, good. I brought extra bags but it looks like you have everything sorted. What's the plan?"

It told me that I tracked coco and discovered they did nothing. And that i had one charge left Ngl idk. I felt pretty unsure about hoid (it was hoid right?) Initially cause of how quiet they were, but now that its twin ive not given them much thought. My feelings are they exist but dont feel like a priority rn. Only popping on briefly. I see a lot of talk about my purse. I've been pretty open about my earnings this game, im surprised theres so much uncertainty ive gotten max each round, bought mask of scents, and sent a total of 7 pms ( woulda been a total of 12 pms had wonko been able to deliver last loops). So i have 43 rn. I cannot purchase a purple today. I am in the exact same boat as mist. I could potentially afford one tonight. Which is likely given my role in today's discussion. Math goes like this: Start: 10 Loop 1: +30 -7 = 33 Loop 2: +30 -20 = 43

As far as I'm concerned It would be more concerning if people didn't want us both dead. I can understand people taking sides and having preferences on who goes first. But we have to win this loop. We literally have no choice. This is not a loop for trialing random suspicions, we need to have a lot more certainty then we've had the rest of the game. And i know I've not been great at that either. I've been super unsure about anyone. That's why i wanted the mask of scents - at least then i can have some more concrete information to go off. I'd hoped to be able to communicate to people in pms about the mask, see if it lured a nk or not, but with pms going down, that wasn't an option. Killing us both is the only guarantee we have as far as I'm aware. I'll happily take that sacrifice. Does raise the question of who else are we certain enough of to make sure the 3rd exe is correct. --- Cindra's hands rushed to her ears, flute clattering on the ground below. The thundering of hooves still rang in her mind. But when she opened her eyes... Her flute lay on a delightfully familiar, well worn pavement. Am I... back again? She looked up, at the happy faces, the busy people preparing for the carnival filled with such excitement and energy. Her hands trembled as she picked her flute up from the ground. She stared at it for a moment, expression grim. She needed to prepare. She had been of no help to anyone previously. She ran. She ran to the place she hadn't been to in... Well almost a week realistically for her. Her home. As she rushed inside of it, the sight of it brought her to tears. But she couldn't stop. Her hands got busy. She grabbed bags. She shoved in a light blanket. She changed into more practical clothes. She put one of her kitchen knives wrapped in a towel carefully into one of the outer pockets. She added some snacks from her pantry. She was not going to be unarmed and unprepared this time. Her hands touched her sheet music carefully. But she left the books. As much as she loved them, they would be of no used. She pulled her pack over her shoulder, grabbed some extra bags, and ran. This time to Thistles shop.

N1 i was equipping the mask, N2 I targeted coco with no result. This was part of my reason for going stick over coco tbh. I know that doesn't really clear anyone because coco could've just not done the kill that turn, but it was one of the things that tipped the balance a bit for me. Look I second this (the idea of us both dying). If me dying too means that we've guaranteed one elim is dead then I'm down for that. Ideally we get all three exes successful, so this does mean there will be one lost exe, but at the guarantee of an evil dead seems a win to me. I also agree that it is good if ashbringer gets the stone mask. That being in the hands of a confirmed villager Is much more preferable to anyone under suspicion. Mist and I shouldn't be able to afford a purple until tonight anyways, so ash should be able to get first dibs easily there. @Wonko the Sane Out of curiosity, (I'm assuming since pms never came back online that you were indeed postmaster), did you get a list of people who attempted to pm D1?

What. NGL i’m genuinely surprised that the elims didn’t throw that? Sure, i’ll taking having a whole lot more practically confirmed players. Thanks? This team must be wildly confident that they aren't going to get exed. Speaking of what masks people had last cycle, Mistfallen. Care to explain what you were doing targeting Ashbringer last night?

(cue internal yelp of didn't notice yall talking about daylight savings and thought rollover was a lot longer away xD) Drawings, so freaking cute. Love it. Keep it up. -------- The thundering was getting louder. The bull was getting closer. Her heartbeat faster. Goddesses, please let this go better than last time. She clutched at the flowers Thistle had given her earlier, the gentle scent giving some comfort, a pleasant distraction from everything around her. She couldn't tell if she was shaking from fear, or from the vibrations of the shaking ground, so she pressed herself against the wall as hard as she could to stabilize herself. Cindra found herself closing her eyes, terrified as the beast approached, and put her faith in the plans and abilities of those around her. They could do this. They had to. There was no option. They must. Why me...

More bombs. First the ringing ears, now the half blinded eyes. And once again, Cindra was painfully aware of how... civilian she was. All she was good for was making noise with her flute, and right now that was not something she wanted to be doing. As she squeezed into the alcove, she was grateful for the undoubtably temporary break in the running. Would it turn and come back? If they were in an alcove it may not be able to reach them, maybe they could periodically attack it as it ran past?

Cindra couldn't help but wonder of all people what was she doing here. She ran. She was never good at that. But you didnt need to be when adrenaline was a factor. Some moments she couldn't tell if the drumming was her own heart, the blood thumping through her heart, or if it was the hoofbeats behind them. As she looked ahead at the light, she found herself begging, please... please let us have enough time.
