Mmm, yes... which is why I was momentarily taken aback by Edelgard's audacity.
[drumming her fingers on the counter]
Just by naming Katy-san, she was drastically increasing the chances of her being killed. People are sheep, and in a panic they're more likely to follow a strong leader.
[Tamamo stop being mean to humanity]
-- Though in this case, it did not work, so perhaps we have more cats than sheep amongst our group.
... I haven't spoken to her much. But she just radiates authority and leadership, doesn't she? Albeit, unquestioned authority and leadership. She seems to take defeat graciously though.
I don't disagree to an organised approach, but throwing someone under the bus at the last minute will only make people angry at her. And even suspicious of her. [ a no win situation for her, really. it's interesting. ]
[ there's a pause, as he looks up from the bottles of alcohol he's selecting and smiles. it's a little sly and catlike itself, but what's new. ]
It's certainly not boring. But could go some way towards explaining our inability to pull together and form a solution. [ they all just be out there forming their own opinions. ]
I think she took the correct approach, but picked the wrong target. A smarter move would have been to further incriminate those who had already been accused.
[Also arching a brow at how amused Shiraishi seems, though that expression is hardly a surprise]
It will cripple us in the end, I fear. Independence is a useful trait, but not if it keeps us so suspicious of each other that we all die.
She may have had a plan in mind. She seemed pretty sure of what she was doing... I wonder.
[ Well, it is amusing in its own way. ]
If we don't get it under control. If we're that out of control, then a small majority outweighs a divided minority. There were only four votes for our demon, after all.
Nothing especially. I just wonder what she was planning, to accuse someone so brazenly, especially with the potential consequences that could occur because of it.
[ Hmm. ]
And four people out of the 22 of us present at that point managed to put a demon through exorcism. Although technically, it was just three -- if you don't count the demon.
If anyone would have a grasp on things, it'll be your detective. Unfortunately, a lot of information is passed by word of mouth and those sorts of circles can be small. If you haven't asked him already, do. And if you have asked, keep asking.
[ hehe. ]
Difficult cases can be solved in shorter amounts of time. We're not just reacting to things now, don't you think? Some of us have been acting first.

I do wonder just how many demons we are expected to go through. We can't continue this indefinitely.

Our task is to survive and perhaps solve the riddle of this ship, though I do not know what it might be yet.
