[[I did consider this! But Pano specifically capitalized "Drunk," like referring the role. I feel like it were just RP flavor or something adjacent, they wouldn't have. But I'm also willing to admit I'm zeroing in the wrong thing rn (because I am; I am muuuuuuuch more concerned with hearing from Wind and Zdr)]]

"No need consider, Rocky tell. Maybe this give bad guys less room to hide, too."

After a moment of concentration, a blue-hued rock lifted off the ground and hovered in front of Rocky.

"Drunk role say they will think they are Townsperson, but Rocky knows they are not Townsperson."

A second blue-hued rock was lifted into the air.

"Rocky not Drunk because Rocky is other Outsider role. Mathematically impossible to be two Outsider roles at the same time."

The first blue rock was tossed behind him haphazardly, while the second one hovered in front of Rocky's face, held aloft proudly.

"Rocky is Butler, therefore not Drunk!"

The claimed blue rock settled on a root in front of him. He contemplated it.

"At first, Rocky was unsure about sharing, using body as decoy to protect better roles and powers. But maybe claiming gives less room for bad guys to claim, too. Only a certain number of Outsiders in game at once, statement."

He stamped his feet in what seemed to be satisfaction before holding out one appendage towards Dave in camaraderie. "Now bad guys are in trouble! Happy happy happy. Fist my bump."

"Alright alright geeze! Get off my ass for a sec okay? Angel above." He raised his paw up as if to run it through his hair, remembered he didn't have hair anymore — just short fur — and let it drop.

"Look, I'm the chef, alright? All I know is that there aren't any bad guys sitting next to each other. Which means Elgyem and Spectrier are innocent." He paused, scrunching up his nose. "Unless I'm drunk. Then I don't fucking know anything." Even if he was, though, that would still make Hareta the Scarlet Woman. "I can at least rest assured that if I'm NOT drunk, the information is accurate. It came free with my fucking emera."

He squeezed his eyes shut, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Ugh. If I'm not drunk, I'm going to be after this is all over."

[[Quickpost on my break. Trying to keep up but I'm having to keep my posts brief rn. I'll be back in a couple hours hopefully to review the thread and write up some thoughts, if I don't get called away.]]

“Ooh, tick tock. Not sure if I’ll have more to say before the night ends. That does feel like a role that could have been immediately revealed once suspicion was cast. It would also be very, very difficult to disprove… and frankly leads to relatively little consequence if you are eliminated. My vote remains the same.”

[[This partially hinges on my understanding that the information role does not continuously update throughout the game and only provides info on N0.]]

Spectrier had been wanting to believe Plusle, because of an idea he'd come up with in his head, but when he thought about it some more, he realized it was a stupid idea. (His idea was: maybe Squirtle asked about 'virgin' because it was his own role, and he wanted to see if any evil people would try to claim it? Therefore, Plusle being so willing to vote for Squirtle without a second thought could mean that he wasn't afraid of being exposed as a demon by not-dying to the virgin. But, it was a stupid idea because there was no reason to think Squirtle actually had that emera.)

In any case... he understood what Elgyem was getting at, and agreed that it was a good idea to keep the power secret for now. He realized that, same as Leafeon, the information could be wrong because of drunk or poison or lying, but...

"It's possible that... we could find out if Plusle is lying or not if there's a role that finds out what he was after he dies. It would tell us a lot about him, and Squirtle, and Leafeon, and Elgyem... ohh, so many..." He was more sure about this now.

As the clock ticked down and he got more and more wound up, sparks bounced from Watt's cheeks. He dragged his paws down his face, letting out a frustrated groan.

"Not all of us have the luxury of forethought when we're in a hurry! Ugh! Okay. Look. Let's go over the basics of what's been claimed so far."

[[Yeah I probably would have been better to claim immediately. My bad. I was in a rush and just trying to get something out

First we have the following claims:

Rui claims to be an investigator, and claims that one of Haretta or Watt (myself) are are a Scarlett Woman

I claim to be a chef, and that there are no evil characters sitting next to each other.

Elgyem claims that they have information that makes them believe that Watt is more likely to be evil between him. and Hareta.

Rocky claims to be a butler, and that therefore he cannot be drunk as he should only think he is town, not an outsider.

]]

"So lets take a moment here and look at the possibilities. First off. Let's say everyone is telling the truth. In that case, Hareta MUST be evil, but Spectrieir and Elgyem must be innocent. I'm not sure how Elgyem's supposed information would come into play here based on current information, but that's something to take into consideration."

He held a paw up. "Let me entertain the thought that I'm lying next. Everything remains the same, except that it does not exonerate elgyem or Spectrier.

"Now let's get into the drunk possibilities. If Rui is drunk, then we know her information is unreliable, though its not impossible that one of us is evil. I guess. I don't fucking know man, correct me if I'm wrong."

Watt rolled his shoulders, pressing his paw to his chest. "Now let's say I'm the drunk. That would still mean that Hareta is evil. But then my information is unreliable, and either of Elgyem or Spectrier could still be evil. Which. That's great. I guess if I die and we have an undertaker that can confirm my role tomorrow, that could clear those up. But that's a big if." He crossed his arms, the sparks growing worse at the thought. Then there was always the possiblitiy that there wasn't an undertaker, or that the undertaker was given as a fake claim. That was a whole fucking mess in and of itself.

"Now if you'll excuse me for a moment, I think I sould do a bit more in depth review of what we've discussed so far. Not that there's been much before this. Speaking of which. It sure would be nice if Hareta would say something.

[[So. @Zdrmonster When you next pop online, what do you have to say about all this?]]

[[More reads later I need to figure out dinner]]

He stamped his feet in what seemed to be satisfaction before holding out one appendage towards Dave in camaraderie. "Now bad guys are in trouble! Happy happy happy. Fist my bump."
Dave raised an eyebrow. The Boldore was some kind of fucking weirdo, but in his deeply eccentric (and probably foreign? Did foreign languages even exist in the everyone's-a-Pokémon dimension?) way, the guy was making some of the most sense here.

He raised up a paw and bumped it against Rocky's rock-appendage.

Wait, I'm some kind of Scarlet Woman? I'm not even a girl, and I thought I had the thing where I had big ears despite not having any? The questions I asked were just to verify the information I managed to get, where one of two of you guys could do so-called Targetted Attacks! Again, I'm not a girl... Chikorita is the group of my team! This must be some kind of big misunderstanding!

Looking through your talk, it seems Watt is the other one you believe to be very suspicious. I don't know if I want to take any chances, but I need to save myself as well so...
By the way, I don't know why I'm considered the Washerwoman. To prove my innocence further, I guess I should directly quote the information I got... "One of Odette (Sinderella) and Rui (HelloYellow17) holds the Targeted Attack Emera (Virgin)."

"All in all," he said with a sigh, "there's not much more to say here. Technically Rui could be lying or wrong, but frankly I don't feel great about how that Plusle over there has responded to any of this. I'm pretty comfortable concluding he's lying."

"Oh, I have great news for you, if you're worried about who got the unreliable emera. Earlier, before anyone was claiming, my creepy voice had the chance to run some guesstimates on the odds of my info being accurate or not. Like a loser~ Anyway, the odds of it being true aren't great, but if Rui's drunk then that means it almost certainly is true, and I'd be down to execute you anyway."

Looking through your talk, it seems Watt is the other one you believe to be very suspicious. I don't know if I want to take any chances, but I need to save myself as well so...

"Hm. Probably should've kept quiet about that, but oh well. Process of elimination means that it's gotta be the bunny, which means she's good as dead unless we can find an appropriate sacrifice to confirm today..."

She shot Watt a cheshire grin.

"So, Nine-Volt, seems like you've got a window of opportunity. Nothing left can save you, but you can still go out on your own terms. If you really are town, a quick vote for her should clear everything up real quick. And it'll probably only hurt a bit~"

"One thing that jumped out at me is Rocky here says he's the Butler, and the Mismagius earlier put twenty bucks on there not being a Butler in the game. Rocky, did you get any insight into how your role's been adapted to make sense?"

Well. there was one way he could try to prove his innocence. He didn't like it. But given the way things were going...

Watt threw his hands in the air. "Fine. Fine! Either I'm drunk, I'm evil, she's not really the virgin, or I die! Let's see what fucking happens!"
