"Okay okay okay okay okay." Darkwhite sank into the couch. "So here's my six possible powers. Or seven, or eight, I dunno, I never played this kind of game before! I'm probably gonna try to do another when this is over or something. Okay so. How should I use my power and stuff if I have these ones? Okay so. Okay."
Palkia listened to Darkwhite rambling on, each power more outlandish than the last, its grin broadening all the while.
"For the first one, that's obviously just a heal with a bit of foresight involved! I trust you're clever enough to work out how to use that."
"Obviously for two, you wait until someone claims a particularly impressive item. The naughty ones might try to remote it from the game, only for you to receive it instead! How fiendish~ Personally, I'd wait until someone claims something that can be used for healing, or spying. But it's up to you." The spatial dragon shrugged exaggeratedly.
"Three - a joint power! How fascinating! I've never heard of anything like that. And yet... I suspect the powers that our holiday gifts hold are anything but ordinary. But if anyone here has the same ability, well... they'd know they could trust you now, wouldn't they?"
"Four - well, clearly you'd want to make it to that night then! But would you win by yourself, or would another side get to share in the glory, that's the real question~"
"Five! Well, all that would do would be to prolong the party! Excellent! Ah, but that would be
quite the benefit to the Nice faction, wouldn't you say? We'd get another chance to vote out a Naughty, and they could do nothing to stop us! So much so, that I have a hard time believing that we'd be given such a powerful boon. But you won't see me complaining~"
"Six - congratulations on your party of one! I'm sure you'll have a great time by yourself~"
"Seven - well, that's certainly excessive! Reversing votes
and killing all who targeted you? Are you sure you didn't combine two gifts into one there?"
"Eight..." Palkia stopped and tilted its head. "An awful lot of these are quite powerful during both the night and the day, aren't they? A bit
too powerful... But if we're just talking about the spotlight, then of course you'd want to make yourself a target, naturally~"
"Nine - well, I'd just use that like a regular heal. You'd just have to be clever about which target you pick at which time, so that you don't waste it when a valuable target isn't even in danger." Palkia leered at her. "Think you're up to the task?"
"Quite an unusual arrangement of abilities. Why, it makes my gift's power look positively ordinary by comparison!" Palkia put a claw to its chest, feigning a sniffle.
"Perhaps a safe question to ask the crowd..." Palkia turned around and spread its arms wide. "The powers that your gifts hold. Do they seem half as outlandish as the ones this Mew just listed off? Or would you say they're more 'typical faire' for this sort of game? No need to say what they do, of course! I'm more curious how many of us are playing with wild, unexpected toys." Its eyes glinted. "Always good to know how much
unpredictability we're dealing with."
