The Emissary shrugged. "Not me. I'm just an Insomniac. There are heavy bags under my eyes, if only you could see them through the mask."

“And you say you’re still the Insomniac?” Astrid asked. “You got to confirm, right?”

"Well, we can probably trust Miss Ugly then..." Vivienne remarked, spinning her parasol absentmindedly. "That would be a pretty stupid role for a werewolf to claim, as they'd be risking two people calling them out on it."

"Or Astrid is the Tanner," The Emissary pointed out.

“Given that nobody seems to be speaking out, either I really am Mason, or I was lucky enough that—“ Astrid suddenly stopped “What did you just call me?” She asked Vivienne.

"Whatever gambit you're trying to pull Astrid, it's a little boneheaded." Ember stated. "Because I'm the Mason. I thought the role would be useless since it's just me, but..."

"Oh!" Vivienne slapped a hand to her lips. "Forgive me...Miss, err, Jepsen, was it?" Vivienne said, "Just misspoke a little there. Certainly wasn't implying anything about your hairstyle or general build or anything. Trust me!"

Vivienne trailed off. "Oh, interesting. I think the Emissary's right though. She's more likely to be the Tanner than an actual opponent."

Astrid gave Vivienne a hard stare, and then sighed in exasperation. “Yes, my name is Astrid Jepsen,” she said, apparently deciding that it was indeed an honest mistake.

“I suppose it’s always nice to know what people really think,” she grumbled quietly, before turning back to the game.

“Ember is the Tanner or Werewolf, because I’m the real Mason.”

"Or vice versa," Stella added before turning to the Emissary. "Anyway, I noticed you didn't answer Astrid's earlier question. Are you still the Insomniac?"

"At the very least that means we're just choosing to two people, unless one of them is the tanner. I find that possibility far more likely, though," Vivienne said, shrugging.

"Ah, no, I seem to have become just a simple Villager," The Emissary replied. "I'd assumed that's what happens if the Insomniac wakes up normally, but, on reflection it's possible I was targeted by the Troublemaker if I look over the rules properly."

"That checks out," she nodded. "I'm the Troublemaker. I switched your role with Luka's, so he should believe he's a Villager."

“I—What?” Astrid seemed dumbfounded. “But...”

Instead of talking, she started scribbling on a piece of paper. “This is where we stand right now.” Astrid held up the piece of paper for the group to see:

Astrid: Solo Mason
Ember: Solo Mason
Emissary: Insomniac —> Villager
Hazel: ?
Luka: ~~Solo Mason~~ [Villager —> Insomniac?]
Max: ?
Pink: ?
Stella: Troublemaker (Emissary + Luka)
Vivienne: ?

“Can the rest of the people say their roles now? Then maybe we can try to figure out this whole Mason business.”

“Alright alright I’m not a mason.” Luka admitted a bit too easily. “Just having some fun. I didn’t want to do some baby-ass practice round anyway.”

“Hmmph. I see,” Vivienne muttered, “This round is getting a little ridiculous. How about we just abandon ship and move on before it gets worse?”

“I’m not sure it’s a good idea to state my role at this time,” Vivienne admitted, looking at the ceiling thoughtfully. “Still, I’m not a Werewolf. The rest of you may be able to figure it out with that in mind.”

“I suppose we can just vote and end it, if we want... Still, if you want this to be over sooner, saying your role will probably make this go faster,” Astrid suggested.

“Now that I think about it, it’s kind of blatantly obvious which one I’m talking about,” Vivienne said, idly rapping the tip of her parasol on the floor. “But anyway, I’m the Hunter. I might as well just come clean after everything I’ve said!”

“I’ll be honest though...Hazel over there is looking a little shifty. She hasn’t even said a word yet!” She said, leering at the old woman.

“My my, we certainly all know how to be a little nasty the moment we’re put into a role don’t we?” Maximillion tittered to himself.”Still I wonder if someone was the robber and stole one of these precious mason roles? It’s a confusing situation to think about.”

Maximillion spread his hands “Alas I am a humble villager, but if we think Vivienne has behaved suspiciously then perhaps we should vote for her and identify a second target as well? If she is the werewolf, all is well, but if not then she can take out our second target with greater certainty too.”

Maximillion frowned “Of course...the tanner might be an option as well...bother. I cannot understand the thematic sense as to why a tanner would want to die.”

"I am a townsperson", Hazel stated almost simply. "I have nothing to hide and nothing to offer. Please do not vote for me. I am not suspicious in the slightest." Her breathing seemed slightly heavy as she spoke. "...That said, the abundance of people claiming to be masons is somewhat startling. I believe two people are lying here. They must be... the protector of the green and the young man in red." She was clearly referring to Astrid and Luka there. "One of them must be a werewolf. It...would be wise to vote for them."

“Now now my most hasty of Hazels, let’s not hurry this process up too much. Isn’t there the possibility that a robber or troublemaker has trifled with their original tasks? They would then be unknowing of changes.” Maximillion said brow furrowed in thought making furious mental notes to use “protector of the green” at some point in future.

"The boy in red has already admitted he is not a mason, yes?" Hazel asked. "I do not believe him to be trustworthy. There is... zero point in further deliberation. I do believe we may as well end things here and now so we may start with the actual game."

“My god, fuck this.” Luka put his hands to his ears, looking in anguish as this went on. “The werewolves are Max and Pink, let’s just vote one of these sad saps and be done with it.”

The Emissary nodded. "One vote for Luka it is then. The results don't matter much after all, I too would like to move on to the real thing."

Maximillion sighed somewhat disappointed at Emissary and Hazel’s preoccupation with finishing the game as quickly as possible “Oh but...don’t you think we should hear Luka’s theory out? I’d love to know what his reasoning is for this belief considering Pink has yet to comment.” He said “We have the rare chance to play an extra game, why squander it...” he mumbled sullenly.

“There’s no theory, this is a stupid game that relies on just taking your best shot. Whatever.” He placed a vote for himself.

Looking like someone had stolen his Christmas Max hung his head "Oooh very well then." He muttered as he voted for Luka.

"...On second thought, perhaps the boy seems simply overenthusiastic to end things now. What if he happens to be the Tanner?" Hazel asks. "Perhaps this is a practice round, but that does not mean we should end this without a fight. If we are wrong, we lose. And this could happen in the actual game as well. We should pace ourselves properly here."

"...Ma'am, you won't do yourself any favours like that for the real thing," The Emissary said uncomfortably. "If you keep going back on yourself and acting suspiciously, well, it could easily backfire."

"Indeed, perhaps I was too hasty on my judgement, but that said, is there anything incorrect with what I have said now?" Hazel asked. "We must persist on this line of questioning for now, else the truth might escape us yet."

"We'll find out the truth just as soon as this not-for-keeps round is over," The Emissary replied. "If we get it wrong, we learn from our mistakes. Honestly, we should be thankful for the opportunity to fail without any real repercussions. Real life isn't so lenient."

"I've already claimed to have swapped the Emissary and Luka's roles," Stella sighed. "And the Emissary claims he was the Insomniac, and is now a Villager. So unless you assume the Emissary and I are both lying, there's no way Luka can be the Tanner. Even if he was targeted by the Robber, he wouldn't know he was now the Tanner."

“I’m a minion.” Luka admitted. “So I know the wolves are Max and Pink, but I could give a fuck whether you guys get it right or not. Not like I’d do this in the actual game anyway.”

"Does this not mean that the young man is not, in fact, a werewolf?" Hazel asked. "Then we would be getting things wrong for sure if we proceeded with this."

"You were a minion," Astrid corrected Luka. "If Stella is being honest, at least."

Astrid looked down at her chart.

Astrid: Solo Mason
Ember: Solo Mason
Emissary: Insomniac —> Villager [Minion?]
Hazel: Villager
Luka: [Villager —> Insomniac][Minion —> Insomniac]
Max: Villager [Werewolf?]
Pink: ? [Werewolf?]
Stella: Troublemaker (Emissary + Luka)
Vivienne: Hunter

"We have three Villager claims, which is impossible, so I'm fine just voting for Max, since he's one of them. ...Or Pink, I suppose."

“Right, I was a minion. So even better, I can just win by voting for a wolf.” Luka changed his vote to Max.
