I posited one of our own newbies in the chat Faith, as a wolf. I figured I'd come to you, first, as leader of the group.

You may vote with me, or not. I do not mind, but if this gathering is to be effective, why not? They already claim we are invalid because we are new.

I know my argument is not as airtight as another's... but. No one else has offered an answer like mine. And I hope this either lures out a kill, or keeps eyes on everyone as a result. I do not want a majority vote wasted on Misty.

[angelhunter]

I saw you talking to that Wanda Maximoff woman about Misty's accusation. We're you trying to dissuade her?

[laozu]

Yes.

Misty is a terrible person, but far too subjective a wolf.

[angelhunter]

So is Faith. [ Subjective, that is. ]

Are you trying to goad another show of strength out of Homelander's killer?

[laozu]

I'm trying to goad her into hiding it further, because the harder you try to hide something, the easier it is to break apart a defense.

It's obvious the wolves are trying to hide their kills. They work in groups — Buffy was accused first. Wolf!Faith would benefit greatly from sending her to the cage in her place.

[angelhunter]

Any superhuman wolf would.

[laozu]

Everyone keeps saying that — and yet, nobody has offered an alternative. No names other than two.

Buffy first, because she and August seem to feel responsible for something they do not know if they did. And so, I invited the idea of an alternative.

Was I to be silent and paralyzed and not try to protect us, because "any superhuman" would do? Without naming a single one?

[angelhunter]

Protect us by standing with us. Vote Shauna Shipman.

You can look into Faith after.

[laozu]

Do you feel Shauna will lose the majority vote?

[angelhunter]

I suspect her team will withhold their real votes until the eleventh hour, then try and force a majority on the closest third party.

If they're smart.

[laozu]

I will watch out for that. If it happens... I will switch my vote. I would rather ensure her removal.

[angelhunter]

On that, we're agreed.

[laozu]

[ after the vote. ]

I managed to convince Wally to join me, as well.

Did you like my bit where I "mistook" the manner of the kills, by the way? "Five kills, all in the same way" — haha! I play a good idiot, don't I!

[angelhunter]

Very convincing.

[ He'd thank him but he wouldn't. Rationality is its own reward. ]
