Oh? What is it?

He refused to give me a direct answer but he did write this.

[ He shows Simon the note. ]

Lawyers, detectives and criminals...
murimurimuri: (62)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2014-08-30 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Peers over to where the assassins are hanging out.]

...Oh.
staunton: (NERVOUS ♞ tarrasch rule)

[personal profile] staunton 2014-08-30 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa, wait a second. That doesn't explain why you are here.

[ BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY SIMON COULD HAVE KILLED ANYONE, RIGHT. ]

Unless the warden considers you an accomplice for planning the staged assassination.

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2014-08-30 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh nice, I don't even have to think up my own excuse.]

That's still a crime...
staunton: (NERVOUS ♞ tarrasch rule)

[personal profile] staunton 2014-08-30 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
You had nothing to do with that.

[ "That" being Rooke's...unfortunate end. ]

I don't get it myself, but maybe it's for the best. I'd rather be in here.
staunton: (NEUTRAL ♞ scholar's mate)

[personal profile] staunton 2014-08-30 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. This way I can keep an eye on you so nothing happens.

[ Pause. ]

How do you propose we fill these out? We could nominate ourselves.
murimurimuri: (22)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2014-08-30 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
The most obvious strategy would be that we each pick a category and exchange votes with other members of the red room.
staunton: (STUDY ♞ artificial castling)

[personal profile] staunton 2014-08-30 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm.

[ He scratches his chin, thinking. Negotiating with the warden is still an option, but he's honestly not feeling too prepared to give up his own life. ]

You're right. The yellow room is probably full of detectives who are buddies with each other so that would be our best shot.
murimurimuri: (38)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2014-08-30 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Taking some of that scratch paper and writing down names]

Who have you seen going into the yellow room?
staunton: (TALK ♞ alekhine's gun)

[personal profile] staunton 2014-08-30 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's see.

[ He lists them off one by one. He hasn't seen all of the yellows enter their room but he probably got a decent number of them, at least. ]
murimurimuri: (37)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2014-08-30 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Noting them down.]

As I suspected, there are more of them than us...
staunton: (GLEE ♞ lucena position)

[personal profile] staunton 2014-08-30 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Which puts us at a disadvantage. Too bad I can't thin their numbers a bit.

[ He gives his gun one of his trademark twirls. ]
murimurimuri: (28)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2014-08-30 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
We don't need for there to be less of them. We only need for them to be less organized.
staunton: (THINKING ♞ kriegspiel)

[personal profile] staunton 2014-08-30 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Point taken. [ And killing off a few people would both be a waste of bullets and good way to ensure he's not popular. ]

Shame we don't know what they're discussing over there in the other room.
