GUNSMITH Instead of waking up in the jungle, you wake up elsewhere. This is the ruin that's been chosen, because someone has come to meet you. You've been given a special role, even if it's a bit late. After all, this is your chance to save yourself. You have a little while to think about who you'll pick tonight, but don't think too hard, since you only have until dawn. "So? Who do you want to give it to?" the woman asks, so clearly, she's not going to let you think on it that long. rulebook character statuses profiles All night votes will be due before the next day post.

night four

[foxhounds]

[ When he wakes up, it seems like she's got something to say right away. ]

Like I said, you wouldn't be disappointed. Yasusada took care of one of The Generals last night. How lucky for you.

[bywolves]

[ It's just going to be a habit of Royce being agitated every time he wakes up from now on. Especially tonight. ] Lucky me.

Generals? There are more than one? [ His brain's working a million miles a minute - he has to figure out how to keep himself from being murdered tonight. ] Was it Orion? [ A beat. ] And I broke apart the swords, too. One less vote.

[foxhounds]

[ She nods ]

You got it, darling. There's quite a few of them, and that gun you gave Yasusada got one of them killed. But it's anticlimactic to learn that there's more than one General that way, isn't there? That's the exception that the puppet was talking about.

[bywolves]

The puppet. [ Royce watches her sharply. ] You're not Ivan, then.

How many more Generals are there?

[foxhounds]

[ She laughs ]

No. Of course not. But it's convenient to look like her if I need to make a special appearance.

[ The Judge is an asshole, basically. ]

Five. Your group really loves to trim down the innocents so far.

[bywolves]

Five remaining? Or five from the start? [ He's taking this information and storing it away. ]

Is that why we were able to vote for Ivan the one night and not the next? [ A beat. ] Can you tell me how many of each role there are? Five Generals - foxhounds, foxes, whatever else.

[ And he looks vaguely amused at this: ] Am I the only gunsmith?

[foxhounds]

Five remaining, six total. As for the rest—

[ She smiles with that false sweetness. ]

Why would I tell you that? You'd just go run off and tell Matt, wouldn't you? What a shame that would be.

[bywolves]

[ Pfft. He laughs, short. ]

I don't consider him important enough to tell, though I am curious as to why his name is the first you'd pick. He thinks I'm a Fox.

[foxhounds]

It's just one. I'm much better at watching than the puppet, since this is my island.

[ She shrugs ]

It doesn't matter. Would you like suggestions for the night?

[bywolves]

[ Worth a shot to get as much information out of her as possible, anyway. ]

Go ahead.

[foxhounds]

Kasen Kanesada, Kashuu Kiyomitsu, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga. The sword boys are definitely insane. It's endearing.

[bywolves]

[ Royce scowls at the names he's given - he has a hard time keeping track of which sword is which. ]

Mar's sake, I can barely keep track of them. [ Kashuu is the one that was friends with Yamato, he thinks... he's pretty sure that was the one that argued with him about Yamato being insane, and he absolutely does not want a gun in that one's hands, so.

Sorry, he absolutely butchers the name, but in his defense there isn't really an equivalent language in Elan: ] Give it to Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

[foxhounds]

[ It's good enough for her to understand it, at least, so she nods. ]

Then he'll have it tomorrow night. Wish Max luck in the meantime.

[bywolves]

[ He tries not to let it, but his expression tenses, shifts when she says it. Oh, Max. ] She can take care of herself. She has the means to.

[ Royce pulls his hood up over his head. ] Until tomorrow night, not-Ivan.

[foxhounds]

[ She nods, then turns to leave without another word. ]
