As the two wooden soldiers readied their long frost guns, prepared to freeze even the hottest warrior, a loud banging came from the stairwell. They pointed towards it, and as the door swung open both began to cover the intruder in hoarfrost.

“No, no, it’s me!” a voice cried, and underneath the crystals the two soldiers saw it was another nutcracker, trying to wipe away at the frost with his gun-filled hands. His fellow soldiers rushed forward to help him, clearing away his face so that he could speak without biting down on ice.

“They snuck in — there’s fighting at the Wafer Wall, and beyond that the Gumdrop Gate and even the Krampus Keep! They didn’t have a problem getting in. It has to be strange summer magic, like the fire!”

“Or they had help,” said one nutcracker, stepping away from the newest. “For we all have keys that work only for someone of the Winter Court, and everyone knows that those from the Summer Kingdom are neither smart enough nor brave enough nor strong enough to do something like this.” And the soldier at his side nodded, grip tightening around his gun as he sized up the newest.

The newest nutcracker looked between them, and then gripped his gun, too. “I bring news to two soldiers, conveniently away from the fighting, and they suspect me?”

“We don’t know where you came from! But now, you may not leave until this is solved.

As the soldiers bickered back and forth, at times nearly coming to blows over the questions of loyalty, a small dot approached from the distance. A carrier-partridge, with a note hastily attached to its leg.

It landed on the edge of the tower, shaking off the small bits of ice that had formed on its wings from the sheer cold. Quickly, the newest nutcracker grabbed for it, scaring the bird as he pulled away the paper. The partridge let out an indignant noise before flying away, clearly uncaring as to whatever response they might have.

"The captain is manning the Gate!" he stated, willing to show the others what the note said as to not rouse their ire further. "We can at least trust them to be the most noble of soldiers, never to turn against the Winter Court."

"And," another soldier said snippily, yanking away the note for himself, "that we are not to use the tunnels underneath the lands. With the fear of treason, and soldiers already going to and fro... how are we ever to figure out who started this all?"

"Well, that's not a problem, is it?" the newest soldier snapped, looking pointedly at all of their chilled guns. "I don't think any of us are going to be running off without brain freeze! So just get on with it -- fill up all the empty space in your hollow head and figure out that I'm on your side!"

[skitter30]

This is, uh, interesting. My immediate thought is that i was put there aince i think prism is town, which is making me rethink both of them (which perhaps was the point ?)

Also this means there were 2 town at gate. Not sure if any broader conclusions can be taken from that ...

I still think it was 1-1-1 eod

[Faker]

Will be around later but absinthe clear is wack. Clearly I can't read for shit though so lol

[demona]

hm

first thought is that there might have been two mafia in either the gate or the keep pre-swap

tempest town so if gate that would have meant skitter/coral were mafia

if chara the third that makes end of day one pretty funny

pedit: tempest is the clear?

[demona]

hmm

[Faker]

LMAO okay yes that makes a lot more sense

[Faker]

My first thought there is that it's absinthe scum, not sure about skitter/cat. Will read both back over when I'm actually awake and moving and know how to read.

Tempest is going to hate being clear but I believe in her, also I got you as town in the end~~~

[demona]

LMAO okay yes that makes a lot more sense

idk i know if you’re town you want to not be a paranoid mess but things like this make it impossible

[demona]

LMAO okay yes that makes a lot more sense

idk i know if you’re town you want to not be a paranoid mess but things like this make it impossible

you want me* not to be a paranoid mess lol

[Faker]

absinthe is now at the Gumdrop Gate. skitter30 is now at the Krampus Keep. Tempest is confirmed as town.

I mixed up because I rolled out of bed and checked the game first thing

It makes zero sense for me to put absinthe as the clear as mafia

[skitter30]

Tbh i'm kinda ok with you/catboi figuring each other out and me not deciding here
(Or me being the person voted i suppose)

In a vaccuum i still think you're town but from my pov this swap is kinda forcing me to reconsider that, esp. with jow badly you snowed me in that micro

Also ya also happy i got to town-tammy in the end

[skitter30]

It does make sense for scum-ffery to want to try to get out of that keep

[Faker]

I mean if you're scum I'm going to beat your ass for daring to think even for a second that you win this minigame. Lovingly, and WITH GREAT FUN, but I'm going to throw you in the dumpster.

That said I have no substantive immediate thoughts on your alignment or the minigame. I'm waiting on the catman, and at some point I'll work back over the game.

[skitter30]

I really cant imagine a universe where i choose to swap into this as scum

[skitter30]

And like i said this makes me a lot more sus of you

And now later, i have to 'do my job' and 'work'

[Faker]

And like i said this makes me a lot more sus of you

[Faker]

I'm grateful for not being swapped into the Wall, but I don't think it rules out a 1-1-1 distribution entirely.

Tempest, thoughts on absinthe swapping in? My impression is that she'd likely be scared of you in a similar way that she would be scared of Cabd, but if she has to go somewhere I think this arrangement makes a lot of sense (Keep is 99% a loss if she stays with me, might think knowledge of you is an advantage/can be exploited even if reverse is true too)

[Chara]

Isis is scum at... i want to say 80% confidence, which for me is very high. this is the outcome i expected if demona wasn't swapped out, though that doesn't mean i'm any more prepared for the next phase.

[Faker]

Can you walk us through how you got there?

[catboi]

Actual sick things sending absinthe away
