Woo, 'nother chapter!

Basically, chapters will switch either if characters are added/changed, the latest game changes, or if I go through too many rounds and make the chapter way too long.

I'm debating on whether or not I'll eventually include Alien. To do so would be to force a modern AU because on the reliance of the app. Dunno what I'll do yet.

Oh yeah! If anyone wants to play these games online, I have had a forum up that I keep forgetting exists for that purpose. If anyone ever wants to play a game, just go on there and post something about it.

But anyways, onwards to round two!

By the time Rickard returned, the eight elder teenagers had put the Werewolf game off to the side and were playing several rounds of Cheater (or, as my friends know it, BS).

"Marth, you are so BS'ing! You can't have three fives!"

"Then why don't you check your hand? You have half of the deck there, after all."

"I'm working on it!"

Lilina rolled her eyes. "Just check his cards then, Roy."

"Fine, I will!" Roy haphazardly flipped over the three cards Marth put down without considering the fact that under it was about an eighth of a deck, with about another half in his hands. And...they were all fives like they were supposed to be. So all he did once he saw them was drop his stack, stand from his seat, and walk straight out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

Merric snickered. "Welp, he's done with just about everything."

"U-Um," Wolt started, trying to suppress laughter, "Marth, I think you broke him."

Marth simply waved a casual hand of dismissal. "...Roi-chan will be fine. Just give him another five seconds." He counted down on his fingers, "Four...three...two..."

The door opened right on cue, and as he entered, Roy said, "I found Rickard!"

That made everyone look. And, as the lordling said, Rickard came bounding in, dragging along with him a certain red-haired teenage myrmidon. "I'm baaaaaack!~" He stopped short upon seeing the group sitting around the table with cards; he released him and put his hands on his hips, saying, "You better not've started playin' without me!"

Marth let out an amused sigh. "Of course not, Otōto. Though I'm a bit curious as to why you've decided to drag Radd here. I might know the reason, but I want to hear it from you."

"Isn' it obvious? It's to make the game more int'restin'!"

The others hesitantly looked at each other before looking at Roy. Lilina cocked her head. "Um...how many people can we even have?"

"Well..." Roy went over to the Werewolf box and lifted it to read the side. "It says 3-10, but there're 16 cards, so theoretically up to 13. There wouldn't be a problem adding him in. But...that would mean adding a Villager again."

"Or swapping things out for Masons...?"

"No!" He snapped back to face her with a pouty face. "I won't be able to mock them if they're in the game! I mean, look at 'em!" He went through the Werewolf cards to pull out the Masons and hold them up for the rest to see. "They even LOOK miserable!"

She rolled her eyes. "Maybe it's because of all the mockery they're always being given."

"No way! They were pretty much MADE to be mocked!"

Marth sighed and shook his head, then turned to the myrmidon. "You've no need to be here if you don't want to be, Radd."

"I wouldn't worry about it," Radd replied with a chuckle. "I doubt Rickard would let me leave, anyways. He gave an extended description of each role and everything, so...I'm pretty sure he's telling me 'You better play or else I'm never talking to you again'."

"Hm. Sounds like Roi-chan."

Roy puffed his cheeks out in annoyance. "Meanie." He took out the Werewolf cards, putting the Masons and two of the Villagers back in the box.

Elice had volunteered to announce this round; she shuffled the cards and set them up once the other playing cards were put elsewhere and everyone was sitting around the table without being too close to notice when someone next to them moved.

Announcer: Elice

Players(Clockwise from top left corner of table): Merric, Roy, Marth, Rickard, Radd, Sue, Wolt, Ogier, Lilina

Roles in play: Werewolf(2), Minion, Doppelganger, Villager, Seer, Robber, Troublemaker, Drunk, Insomniac, Hunter, Tanner

"Alright..." After a few moments of looking over the list, Elice said, "Everyone, close your eyes. Doppelganger, wake up and look at another player's card. You are now that role."

"Question." Radd slightly raised a hand, eyes still closed. "Rickard never explained it...what if the Doppelganger gets switched around with someone else's card? Are they whatever the original person sees, or...?"

"Then the 'original' person could easily lie about what they saw so that they would win, if that situation happens," Roy answered, sounding a little depressed at the thought. "I know no one here would be like that, but...still. Either way, the rules say that they're whatever the original person becomes, so we don't really have a choice but to go with that. If you become it when it was a center card, you're on the Village Team. Which actually reminds me..." he gave a short, sheepish laugh, "U-Um, I worded things weird in the first game, but the only role that's actually forced is the Drunk. And obviously Werewolves for looking and the thumbs, and the Minion. Everything else is optional. S-Sorry, so...y-yeah."

"But who would actually want to make things uninteresting by not switching the cards up?" Marth asked.

"...Marth, no one would guess just by looking at you that you actually have a very chaotic and mischievous mindset."

"Oh, I know."

No one opened their eyes to the Doppelgänger inquiry, but as Elice still had to go over all of the roles, she said, "If you saw the Seer, Robber, Troublemaker, or Drunk, you may perform that action now. Unless it was the Drunk since, as Roy just mentioned, it's forced."

After a bit of time, she said, "If you saw the Minion, keep your eyes open. Otherwise, close them. Werewolves, stick out your thumbs, so the Doppelgänger-Minion can see who you are." After a bit, "Doppelganger-Minion, close your eyes. Werewolves, put your thumbs away, and open your eyes to look for the other Werewolf. If you saw a Werewolf, Doppelganger, you would do the same. If there is only one Werewolf, you may look at a center card."

Two people opened their eyes, sharing a silent, devilish smile with one another before closing their eyes again.

"Werewolves, close your eyes and stick out your thumbs. Minion, wake up and look for the Werewolves."

The Minion opened their eyes and only gave each thumb a glance before closing them.

"Minion, close your eyes." She gave a soft, humored sigh. "Now, to make Roi-kun feel better after that game of Cheater, everyone wake up and mock the Masons."

"Heeeey!" Roy whined as everyone opened their eyes, smiles on their faces. He stuck his tongue out at her before singing his Mason song, and then everyone closed their eyes again.

"Anyways," Elice started again, "Seer, wake up. You may look at another player's card, or two center cards."

No one opened their eyes. After a few moments, "Seer, close your eyes. Robber, wake up. You may switch your card with another player's, and then look at your new card."

They opened their eyes and glanced to their left for a moment before switching their card with that one, looking at their new card and giving a blank face, then a silent sigh before closing their eyes again.

"Robber, close your eyes. Troublemaker, wake up. You may switch the cards of two other players."

The Troublemaker opened their eyes and, after thinking about it for a short moment, swapped the cards of the ones on their right and left, skipping over one on the left. They had a triumphant smile on their face as they closed their eyes.

"Troublemaker, close your eyes. Drunk, wake up, and switch your card with one from the center. Do not look at your new card."

"Such a boring way of saying it," Roy said, the response being a light slap on the back of his head, courtesy of Marth. "Ow!"

Marth scoffed. "I didn't even hit you that hard."

"But you still hit me!"

"Then leave alone Ane."

"Alright, alright..."

After making sure everything was settled, the Drunk opened their eyes and shook their head as they swapped their card with the center card on their right.

"Drunk, close your eyes. Insomniac, check if your card has changed, and close your eyes again."

They did so, looking at it with a disappointed stare, before closing their eyes again.

"Alright, give me a moment..." She went around and shifted the cards' positions slightly. She was tempted to cause a little mischief, but knew that it possibly wouldn't turn out well, and so decided against it. Eventually, she said, "Alright, you have five minutes. Begin!"

"These cards despise me," Ogier said almost immediately.

Lilina giggled before saying, "What did you get this time?"

"Villager. Most boring card in the game. At least the Insomniac does something."

"First the Drunk, then the Insomniac, and now the Villager." Merric chuckled and shook his head. "This game seems to be deciding that you're destined to go unremembered or something. I feel sorry for you."

"How do we even know he's telling the truth?" Marth asked. "Did anyone do anything to his card?" When no one spoke up, he leaned back in his seat and said, "Well...that definitely helps."

"Who did the Seer see, then? If there even is one."

He sighed lightly and tilted his head to his right. "Roy's a Werewolf."

"Woah woah woah uh-uh!" Roy's hands hit the table as he glared at the king. "No I'm not! And you're not the Seer!"

He watched the redhead with amusement. "And why do you say that, Roi-chan?"

"Because reasons!"

"Reasons isn't a good excuse."

"What are you saying, Marth?" Wolt asked, his voice holding no seriousness. "Reasons is the best excuse."

Lilina giggled and said, "What are you then, Roy? Or, well, what were you?"

"He's the Robber," Rickard answered for him. "I stole his card."

Roy stared at him strangely. "You did what now?"

"And what are you now?"

"Uh..." the princeling hesitated for a second, then looked down at his card to improvise. "Um..." He blinked at it, then looked back up at the blunette sheepishly. "I...kinda don't remember..."

Now was Wolt's turn to look at him strangely. "What- How do you not remember?"

Rickard said nothing, just raised his arms in that classic 'Dunno but I'm going with it' way, his expression matching.

Radd chuckled and said, "So Rickard's either a really bad Werewolf, the Minion, or the Tanner. Is that a fair enough assumption?"

"So just completely ignore him. Gotcha." Ogier waved a hand casually at Rickard, then settled his gaze on Radd expectantly. "So, new meat, what were you?"

Radd crossed his arms and said simply, "Nope, not saying anything."

"What? Why not?"

"Because Radd's actually playing smart," Marth answered, his expression still as amused as before. "He's waiting to reveal information so he can possibly catch someone in a lie."

"Or he's just playing a terrible game as a Werewolf," Roy added with only half-seriousness. "But this is Radd we're talking about; he can be very smart and cunning when he wants to be."

"But the fact that you've yet to call anything out," Sue started, "implies that you've no way to debunk Marth being the Seer, Rickard being the Robber, or Ogier being the Villager. Correct?"

Radd nodded. "That's right. I'd say what I COULD possibly debunk the way things are, but that would give my role away, so I'll just sit here and wait for that. Not that I won't say anything, of course. I just won't reveal."

"Fair enough." She herself nodded, then looked around at the table. "Was there a Troublemaker? They don't have to reveal who they switched quite yet, but we can at least try to figure out what was in the center."

There was looking between everyone before Wolt slowly raised his hand, his face sheepish in expectance at some comment on his job as Troublemaker in their first game. "U-Um, well, for the record, I did it right this time!"

"Uh-huh, sure you did." Merric looked at Wolt with a half-amused-half-skeptical grin. "So whose cards did you switch, then?"

"Simple. I switched the girls'."

Lilina and Sue shared a look, the former seeming to want to laugh about something but holding it back. Sue asked, "Anything to attest to that?"

"Uh, yeah," Roy replied, sitting back, his arms now folded behind his head. "He's BS'ing, just like in that game of Cheater."

"Hey, that was like, once!" Wolt stated, then said, "And no, I'm not. You're doing this again, and it's not gonna work."

"Wait, what is this about Roy 'doing this again'?" Radd asked with a raised eyebrow.

"In the last game," Merric started, "Roy was the Minion, Elice and Rickard were Werewolves, and I was a Doppel-Wolf. And, um...we all kinda ganged up on Wolt, so...yeah."

"So basically Roy is using the same exact tactics as last game, as if he were a Minion again. But if that were the case, I don't see him risking the same approach, because people would see through it immediately. So he's either a Werewolf trying to trick us that he's a Minion, a Minion trying to use reverse psychology on us, a Tanner who's frankly probably gonna fail as badly as Rickard currently is as a Tanner or Minion, or a Townie who's actually onto something."

"Geez, you basically have this all figured out, don't you?" Ogier stared at him with surprise. "Where'd all the know-how come from?"

"He's probably been around Marth for too long," Lilina replied jokingly, rolling her eyes, to which Marth responded by giving her a teasing smile.

"Nope, Roshē-chan," Rickard answered for Radd. "He's the really smart one out of us. Not a lot gets by him. He always comes up with a buncha different possible reasons for one thing happenin'. Just like Ani, but younger."

"And a lot nicer..." Roy grumbled, but his expression quickly turned sheepish and apologetic when Marth shot him the same smile he gave Lilina, only tighter and darker. The lordling cleared his throat and looked back at everyone else. "But anyways, Wolt's lying. Troublemaker's in the center. One of the Werewolves is too."

Marth raised a curious eyebrow. "Are you calling yourself the Seer and me a liar, Roi-chan? Or are you admitting to being a Werewolf, because frankly, both could know the same information."

"Which do you think I'm claiming...?" He looked back with the same amused expression as the king's, as if the two were playfully sharing some sort of secret.

The blunet smirked and turned back to the group, saying, "How about we ignore Roy for the moment, because frankly, we still have half of the roles that haven't been gone over and almost half the table that hasn't been covered, and we've not much time left."

"That works." Ogier turned to Lilina next. "So, babe. You're the last person to talk that hasn't claimed anything or pulled a Radd on us. What're you?"

Lilina giggled and stared at him as she said, as if half-bored, "Hunter. Unfortunately."

"How's that unfortunate?"

"Because it doesn't do anything unless everyone thinks you're a Werewolf and decides to shoot you. And if they don't, it'll probably only really happen when we have no idea who any of the wolves are and everyone decides they want to trust in me to pick the right person."

"...Huh. I never really thought about that." He blinked at her, then shook his head and stared back over the cards on the table. "Well, I mean, we COULD do a tie vote so you could get to use it, if you want..."

She sighed and did the same. "I'm not going to force you. Because wolves could just mess up the vote anyway, and then we might end up losing."

"Makes enough sense." Roy leaned his head back enough to look behind him at Elice, who was standing right behind him and Marth. "How much time left?"

"Oh, about..." Elice gave a playful smirk, "30 seconds."

"Holy- okayokay, um...you!" The redhead pointed at Merric. "What were you?"

Merric looked a bit surprised then quickly said, "Drunk. Switched with the right center- er, my right."

"Then congratulations! You just became the Werewolf we're all gonna kill."

"Wait, what...!"

"Oh, I don't know," Marth's gaze shifted from Merric to Lilina, his smile somewhat devious, "I think we should let Lilina be able to shoot someone. And if that someone happens to be Merric, so be it."

Lilina gave him a light and knowing glare as Elice called, "Time's up! Get ready. Three, two, one, shoot!"

Half of the group was confused for a quick second, save Marth, who pointed at Lilina, and Roy, Lilina, and Sue, who all pointed at Merric. Merric half shrugged and pointed at Lilina. Radd and Wolt, who saw Marth's expression, guessed at something at pointed at Lilina. Ogier and Rickard both looked between Merric and Lilina, seeming to be debating on who to shoot, before the former picked Merric and the latter picked...Radd for...some strange reason – probably because it meant he could kill two people. Who knows.

"And both Lilina and Mariku-chan die!"

"Rickard...!" Radd stared at the princeling strangely. "What are you even doing...?"

"Um..." Rickard looked around for a second before giving a sheepish smile and saying, "I get to kill two people."

"Grah...!" Lilina groaned and stared up at the ceiling in frustration, flipping over her card to reveal a Werewolf.

"Wait, what?! Hold on...!" Merric flipped over his card to reveal the Seer. After staring at it for a few seconds, he glared at Roy. "You're the other Werewolf?! Why me?!"

"Actually, he's not." Marth took it upon himself to flip over Roy's card, which was the Minion. "I was the Minion, but it seems he's the Robber who stole from me." To emphasize his point, he flipped over his own, which was indeed the Robber.

After sticking his tongue out at the king, Roy said to Merric, "You basically gave the perfect opportunity to frame you, saying you were the Drunk after I had randomly named center cards as a Seer. Not knowing who the wolves were or if there even were two wolves out was a gamble, but it would've paid off if SOMEONE," he glared at a still-sheepish Rickard, "decided to shoot you instead of desiring the deaths of two people. But you." He looked back at Marth. "Let me guess: you heard me switch your card."

"Believe it or not, no. When both you and Rickard were acting as if you were either the Tanner or Minion, I knew one of you had either copied me or stolen my card. Combine that with your reaction when Rickard claimed Robber, Roi-chan, and it frankly became very obvious."

He gave him a blank stare. "...Oh."

"Aw, c'mon Marth, you ratted me out!" Lilina huffed. "And you were complaining when Merric did it to you. Hypocrite."

Marth let out an amused breath. "At least I didn't do it so blatantly as he did. You claiming Hunter and calling it a disappointment just gave the opportunity of getting everyone to shoot you without directly saying you were a Werewolf."

"Boo." She changed her gaze from the elder brother to the younger. "Who would you have voted for if you had to choose?"

"Um..." Rickard blinked at her a few times, then once again gave the pose as he did when he said he didn't remember his role. "It's not like I woulda won either way, so...death." He flipped over his card to show that it was the Tanner.

"Yeah, we all kinda already knew you were tryin' to get yourself killed," Radd said. He flipped over his card to reveal the Insomniac. "I was kinda hoping someone would claim Insomniac or that they saw it somewhere, but that never happened, so...RIP."

"Well...at least you taught us that we can actu'lly withhold stuff without everyone trying to kill us...?" the princeling offered.

"...Fair enough."

Ogier flipped over his card. "...Still Villager."

"Aw, poor Ogier." Wolt flipped his card to show that he was the Troublemaker, like he said. He turned to Sue. "So you were a Werewolf at first, hu- waiiiit..." he looked strangely at Lilina, "how would you've known that you were a Werewolf if..." He slowly looked back to Sue, who was quietly giggling and mouthing the words 'I love you', while Lilina was about to start laughing herself; he flipped over her card, and stared blankly at it for several seconds.

It was the other Werewolf.

He continued staring at it as the room burst into laughter, and eventually he let his head drop onto the table, his arms limp at his sides. "...my life."

Winner(s): Ogier, Villager; Merric, Seer; Marth, Robber; Wolt, Troublemaker; Radd, Insomniac!

Elice collected the cards from the table and started shuffling them again. "Are we playing another round?"

"I, at least, don't mind," Radd answered first. "This is actually better than what I was doing before Rickard brought me here, so..."

"Woo!" Rickard cheered. "Got you to join the Werewolf cult!"

The group looked at him strangely – well, with the exception of Wolt, who was still busy sulking, and Marth, who finds a majority of everything weird everyone says to be amusing.

"What, so this is a cult now?" Ogier asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Totally! Why not?"

Marth chuckled and shook his head, then looked at Elice. "At the very least, Nē-san, you have enough for a game, even if not everyone here is still playing."

"I'm still in!" Lilina declared. "I'm not stopping until I finally win a game!"

"I share those sentiments, actually," Sue agreed.

"If Lily's still in it, I kinda have to stay here anyways," Ogier said. "But don't get me wrong. I wanna keep playing. I'll go twenty rounds if that's what it takes to finally get a better role."

Wolt slowly stood from his seat and sighed heavily, then turned to face Elice, holding a hand out as if reaching for the cards in her hands. "Give 'em. I'm sitting this one out. You can play."

As Elice handed the cards over and took Wolt's seat, Roy sheepishly said, "U-Um, sorry Wolt, for this kinda turning into a bad experience for you..."

"Nah, it's all good," he replied, shuffling the cards again for good measure. "I'm just very unlucky, is all." He started handing the cards out. "...Well, except that second round, but you were just taking an opportunity to win, so no hard feelings or anything."

Announcer: Wolt

Players(Clockwise from top left corner of table): Merric, Roy, Marth, Rickard, Radd, Sue, Elice, Ogier, Lilina

Roles in play: Werewolf(2), Minion, Doppelganger, Villager, Seer, Robber, Troublemaker, Drunk, Insomniac, Hunter, Tanner

"Where'd that book go...ah-ha!" Wolt picked up the book with the roles and flipped to the right page, looking around at everyone. "Eyes closed? Yes? Good. Okay! Doppelganger, look at someone's card. Be that person."

The Doppelganger, with a very happy smile, reached across the table to look at the card of the person a little to the left of directly across. As soon as they saw the card, their smile turned into a sulky glare. They put the card down and leaned their head back in their chair, waiting for Wolt to continue.

After raising an eyebrow at them, he said, "If you became the Seer, Robber, Troublemaker, or Drunk, do what you're s'posed to do. If you can't do anything, then that sucks, and I'm sorry for you."

They rolled their eyes and switched their card with the center card farthest away from them, then crossed their arms and closed their eyes.

After keeping himself from laughing, he continued. "Alright. Keep your eyes open if you became a Minion, or close them if you didn't. Werewolves, stick your thumbs out for the Doppel-Minion." After a few seconds of the thumb(s), "Doppel-Minion, close your eyes, and Werewolves, put those thumbs away. Now you can look for each other, Wolves. If you're the only one, you get to see a center card."

One person opened their eyes and, seeing no one and staring straight down at the table for a second, looked at the center card to their right, gave it a look that said 'Great' in a very sarcastic way and closed their eyes again.

"Wolves, close your eyes and stick your thumbs back out. Minion, find your wolf overlords and praise them."

No one opened their eyes, so after a few moments of pitying the lone wolf, he said, "Minion, close your eyes. Wolves, put your thumbs away again. Now! Mock the Masons!"

"Woo!" Roy cheered, and after a brief period of his mockery song that Rickard joined into some way through, everyone closed their eyes again.

"Great! Seer! Look at cards! One person or two center."

No one opened their eyes, so after a bit, "Seer, eyes closed. Robber! Rob someone and see what you become."

The Robber opened their eyes and switched their card with the person almost directly across from them, but slightly to the left. They looked at it and shrugged before setting it down and closing their eyes.

"Robber, stop stealing from people and close your eyes. Troublemaker! Don't be me. Switch two other people who aren't both Werewolves."

After a few giggles and pitied expressions, the Troublemaker opened their eyes and, with an unusually devious grin, switched the cards of the people directly across from them and two to their right of that. They closed their eyes.

"Okay, no more trouble. Close your eyes. Drunk! Be drunk. And try not to get a hangover."

The Drunk opened their eyes and gave him a knowing look before switching their card with the center card closest to them. They closed their eyes again.

After a very knowing smirk, "Now close your eyes and pass out in all your drunkenness. Insomniac! Since you can't sleep to save your life, you probably already know if something happened to you, so let's just skip that..." When the Insomniac gave him a playful glare, he rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, fine, check your card. But you know something probably didn't happen."

They checked their card and rolled their eyes like he did before closing them.

"Okay! Now to mess with all the cards so you can't tell if anything happened to them!" After doing so, he stopped between Sue and Radd and said, "Alright, eyes open! You got five minutes! Go!"

"Ojē-san, you have no right to complain anymore," Rickard said first, sulking.

"Oh no, what did you get, Otōto?" Elice asked.

"I got the Villager again! At least he got to do stuff at night!"

"Woah, woah, Rickard, wording," Roy warned. "You're gonna imply stuff you shouldn't be."

"Wait, WHAT?!" Lilina stared at the lordling wide-eyed and with a deep blush. "You're the one implying things! Pervert!"

"Yes. Yes I am. Blame Marth."

Marth rolled his eyes and decided not to add fuel to the fire, saying instead, "Well, I for one now know what it feels like to, without a doubt, have no idea what I am anymore."

"Oh, so you're the one with the massive hangover, huh?" Merric joked.

"No, I don't get hangovers. But I do have a memory with gaps in it."

"Sounds familiar," Ogier complained, his forehead resting on the table. "I finally get something interesting, and then I go back to being a Drunk. Story of my life, huh?"

"Wait, what?" Radd furrowed his brow and said, "I'm going to take a guess and say that you were the Doppel and copied Marth, becoming the Drunk."

"Yeup."

"Oh. That sucks."

"Yeup."

"Wait...which card did you switch with?" Marth asked hesitantly. When Ogier brought a hand up and managed to find the center card farthest from him, the king let out a breathy laugh and shook his head. "So you're basically telling me I stopped drinking only to wake up and start again."

"I'm gonna say...yeup."

"Great."

"Well, if it makes you feel a little better, you're not the only Drunk one here," Elice offered. "I switched you and Mariku-chan. So...you have a drinking buddy, at least?"

"Wait." Merric held up a hand. "You switched me with the Drunk. So now what I was is in the center. I'm hearing this right, right?"

She slowly nodded. "Yes...?"

He closed his hand and held out his pinky to her. "Pinky promise?"

"Ooo, the pinky promise." Everyone stared between it and her. "Only terrible people break pinky promises."

Elice chuckled and held a hand out, entwining her pinky with his. "Pinky promise."

"Okay!" Merric removed his hand and almost slapped the table. "Perfect! So I know who to shoot- er, who to risk shooting."

Sue raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying we shoot Ogier? Do you know that he's a Werewolf?"

"Well, no. Not for a fact. But what I DO know is that I was the only Werewolf, and I saw the Minion on the center-right. So he became either a Werewolf, the Tanner, or one of the only Village roles left."

"Well that...makes everything very simple then, doesn't it?" Marth blinked at him. "...Well then."

Lilina pointed at Sue. "Sue! You're not the Tanner, right?"

Looking slightly taken aback at first, Sue shook her head. "No. I'm the Insomniac, and I didn't change."

"And you're the Robber," Radd said to the blunette. "I switched my card with yours, and as proof I know you were the Hunter."

She nodded. "Right! So that leaves..."

Everyone's eyes turned on Roy. He looked between everyone and slowly waved at them, saying sheepishly, "U-Um, hey guys...you mind, maybe, um...killing me...? Please...?"

"Depends." Rickard cocked his head at him, his face deathly serious. "Will I get to borrow this game if an' when I ask?"

"U-Um, yes! Totally! Please..."

The seriousness went away. "Okei!"

"So now it really just depends on if Ogier wants to play along." Lilina rested her head on his shoulder, staring at him with wide puppy-dog eyes. "Pleeeease..."

Ogier stared at her for a few moments, grinning, then shook his head and looked away. "Fine. You're due for a win."

She sat back up fully and cried "Yes!"

"But y'know it's a 50/50 chance that I'm the Seer, right? So either all of you guys win, or just Roy wins."

"That's just a risk we'll have to take!"

"Wait..." Radd looked at Roy strangely. "What happens if all of the Werewolves are in the middle?"

"Oh yeah, forgot about that." Roy nodded, more to himself. "So if the Werewolves are all in the center, but the Minion isn't, then the Minion becomes a Werewolf and can't die to win. If all the Wolves AND the Minion are in the center, then no Townies can die for you guys to win."

"So basically right now it's a matter of: shoot Ogier and risk him being the Seer, or do a circle vote and have no one die while risking him being a Werewolf," Marth simplified. "Sounds simple enough. Though if I had to guess, I'd say...he's the Werewolf."

"Welp, that's how it is then," Rickard nodded. "Ani's guesses are almost never wrong. So who's shootin' who? I'll take Roi-chan."

"I will as well."

"Calling shooting Roy!" Lilina declared. "So one more person. Then everyone else shoots Ogier."

"And...I'll just do whatever I feel like doing, basically." Ogier shrugged.

"I'll take Roi-sama," Sue said.

"So we good?" Wolt looked around at everyone, most of whom nodded to him, and said, "Alright, three, two, one, shoot!"

As said, Rickard, Marth, Lilina, and Sue pointed at Roy, and Roy, Elice, Merric, and Radd pointed at Ogier. Ogier casually looked between everyone before settling on voting Radd. Because Radd's the guy who eats all the extra votes.

"And both Roy and Ogier die! Time to see if Marth was right."

Everyone watched Ogier slowly flip his card with bated breath. They all let out a collective sigh of relief when it turned out to be the Werewolf.

"Yes!" Lilina flipped her card to reveal that it was the Robber, as Radd had said. "Finally, we win a game!" 'We' meant her and Sue, as the two shared a high-five, and the latter flipped her card over to show the Insomniac.

"And I win too! Woo!" Roy flipped his card to show the Tanner and leaned back in his seat, arms resting behind his head. "Yeah, Rickard, I do owe you the chance to borrow the game if you wanna play it sometime."

"Yay!" Rickard cheered.

Radd flipped over Rickard's card, which was the Villager, and his own, which was the Hunter. "So that makes two for two. Anyone else have a perfect streak?"

"Nah, I'm three and one," Merric said, flipping over his card to reveal the Drunk. "I think Elice is four and zero, though."

"Three and zero," Elice corrected. She flipped her card to show the Troublemaker. "I was announcing last game, remember?"

"Oh, right."

Marth flipped his card to reveal the Doppelganger. "Well, that was certainly an interesting round."

"Hey, at least everyone wins!" Lilina looked over at Ogier and cringed. "Um, well, almost everyone. But don't worry!" She hugged the mercenary and kissed his cheek. "You're still a winner to me!"

Ogier chuckled and returned her hug. "Thanks, babe."

Winner(s): Marth, Doppelganger-Drunk; Rickard, Villager, Lilina, Robber; Elice, Troublemaker; Merric, Drunk; Sue, Insomniac; Radd, Hunter; Roy, Tanner!

As the cards were being collected back up, Marth ended up asking, "What time is it...?"

Wolt furrowed his brow, shuffling the cards. "Time? Um...almost four, I think?"

Most of the people in the room looked around at each other with wide eyes before getting up from their seats.

"Um, we kinda have that meeting about the universal treaty right about now, so if one of you could pack the game up for me that'd be great, thanks!" Roy gave the people not in a rush to leave a double thumbs-up before running out the door with the others.

And, as there ended up only being four people left in the room, they didn't see the purpose in playing again and opted to put away the cards in favor of playing a new game of Cheater.
