And here I now stand, with such a boringly small list of pieces to toy with.
The triad of oafs are cleared in all but the lack of red text declaring so. Would Bernkastel really have them pen themselves in further and further, now with the furniture claiming that they know each other to be true to the cause, removing an excuse for them should one turn out to be an agent of Bernkastel? Perhaps you could say this is a gambit worthy of the Witch of Miracles, but to go for it so strongly from the minute the game board was set up? To push so fervently with no investigative powers other than a tracker flipped? What crazy gamble would that be? One more fitting for the gambling power of the Golden Witch or Goldsmith than Bernkastel, for sure.
No. They may be tiresome to the sight, but they don't give me the sudden urge to have them swallow molten apples or drown them in jelly. *giggle*giggle*.
The rabbit I believe to be completely incapable of working for Lady Bernkastel or Lady Lambdadelta. Too stupid to follow even simple logic, and yet didn't break down under interrogation from my predecessor. Had the wretched thing anything to hide it would have surely revealed itself by now. As much as I hunger for rabbit stew, it must wait until Bernkastel's agents are most thoroughly killed.
Gaap I also retain as a true ally. This goes for times past, and only solidified further on discovering she owns the delightful Black Rose of Xanatos. I can see no shadow of Bernkastel anywhere in it, short of potential long-term gambits. But no.
This leaves so depressingly few targets! Bowser, Edna, Joker and Goldsmith! Why, I could have the Siestas fire at random amongst the four of them and expect to strike a blow to Bernkastel! How boooooooring. I came for the fun of the chase, for the fun of the kill, for the thriiiill of exerting Endless powers on the helpless! *giggle*giggle*giggle*giggle*giggle*! Waaahahahahahahahahahahahaha...!!
But I must attend this duty, boring though it may be. Gaap already has Edna marked with the Black Rose, and Joker has earned at least the benefit of the doubt at the start of this cleansing process. If I must edge one over the others, then I feel that my predecessor's lingering affection for Goldsmith has excused too much. In his case, unlike the rabbit's, stupidity can only go so far to cover the blunders.
##Vote: Mr. BurnsCall the move a mark of caution against the Joker as well, if you will.
And what mysteries does this leave me to toy with? Well, Bernkastel's lust for George's blood in the face of several imposingly cleared 'innocents' for one thing, not that I should question the roulette, especially with an implied claim of jailer. Otherwise, I'm yet to see how this game board is balanced, for it still feels ever so boringly unbalanced.
