[week four - saturday]

[ It's lateish when Vriska wanders back over to the huts. She is ashen with exhaustion, and kind of just wants to go back to her hut and collapse--

--but when she spots Zuko sitting outside Katara's hut, she will just kind of sigh to herself and wander over to him. ]


Hey.

[ For what it's worth, she doesn't sound mad. ]

Can we talk, Zuko? I want to clear the air after today's trial.

[Zuko's been pacing back and forth near Inutara hut, slightly pissed, but he stops and he folds his arms when he sees Vriska approach]

[He looks pissed. But then again, he always looks pissed, so it doesn't seem to be directed at her... for what it's worth]


If you've come to yell at me, just do it.

[doesn't mean he's not gonna continue acting like a pissbaby though]
cuedoves: (INSIIIIIDE?)

Nothing.

[CRANKILY!!! he was just walking angrily like an idiot, so he's defensive] You haven't. If anything, you're one of the few people here that isn't an idiot. [that's part of the problem] But I'm tired of doing nothing and voting blindly. Evidence doesn't mean anything, neither do alibis or searches.

So: I focused on the one thing we can use to determine Sirens: behavior.

Yeah, [they agree on that much!] I've been trying to say it. They're too obsessed with the idea that we'll find a magical piece of evidence that will point to every killer and tie everything up neatly!

[complete with dramatic hand gestures and copious sarcasm. SOMEONE'S A LITTLE BITTER] Exactly.

[that part is unexpected, but Zuko will at least unclench enough to try to calm down] Well, I can tell you that I don't buy that you implied the item role to Jacopo just to get information, but I'm listening.

The bodies just keep on piling up. [But if she's a Siren, that's what she wants, isn't it?]

[Is it? There's still so much he doesn't understand.]


He does. But I can't say his instincts are always off base. He's one of the people who actually thinks about things. [bitterness intensifies] Maybe he was just testing your reactions to see if you had a role.

I can't say that makes sense to me. If you don't have a role, you lied to him regardless -- he could have picked up on that. [unless she's that confident in her skills in misdirecting]

[but he's just gonna come out and say it, because he is blunt af (and really not suited to this kind of game) and apparently incapable of not blurting out his thoughts:]


Do you have a role? You implied that you did with your little speech.
cuedoves: (WHO)

[personal profile] cuedoves 2017-09-07 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ZUKO JUST GLARES AT THAT because his jacobro is gonna die tomorrow]

[too soon :(]


I still think it'd be more dangerous to lie if you had nothing to hide. The truth was bound to come out sooner and later. If he'd been the one with the item role, he would have caught you right away, and you would have been trapped then.

[Yeah, normally, Zuko would have his firebending, which would make life and defense so much easier. But huh, that's interesting--]

So you're saying you've been in a game like this before?
