this group to which I as well have no desire or intention to die here." Golf looked down dejectedly. "Though alas I unfortunately can claim no role."

"With eleven players still alive and only four of those players being evil as you say, this leaves us with seven prey who must also have trials, therefore it is easy to concluded it is more likely that both are prey. but it is true it isnt impossible, but for this vote I see no merit in voting for either of them."

"That...makes some sense," Odin admitted. "But I'm anxious in using these trials as a basis for when or when we shouldn't make a vote."
Odin sighed and shot a glance at Nero, hoping he'd speak up.

"If enough people believe you to let you free, then it may be more prudent to repeat our earlier strategy. Put somebody in the spotlight, force them to tell us what they know and if it seems suspicious, vote them out." He cleared his throat. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but... Nero. You haven't spoken much, as others have pointed out, and you haven't specified what role or alignment you have either. Care to comment?" They asked. "Though, given how many people we have claiming to be role-less, it might be more suspicious if you don't give us one."

“You’re missing the point,” Crow said, glowering. “There’s no reason to believe that only one villain was placed in that group. The trial divisions were most likely random. However, if we assume the killer targeted someone who had already completed their trial, then their deliberate choice to pick Cool Cat over Silver or Albatross may be telling.
“Nero seems like a good option, and I’m willing to vote for them,” she continued. “It’s possible Twist is lying, and if so he’s probably working with Ennia. Twist’s claim doesn’t completely prove she’s telling the truth anyway, as she could have simply not used her role earlier. However, it’s also likely they’re telling the truth, so Nero is a safer bet.”

“So, without anyone backing me up, I, as a brave and stunningly clever intellectual, will take the strong stance of voting for Crow.” TV-Head dramatically inputs their vote into their wristband. “Those who have brains should follow my highly calculated opinion on this!”

"Hmm, unless someone else speaks up about having the peeper role, I guess we really have no way of knowing if Twist is telling the truth." Ennea mused. "Still, he could've figured that one out by just believing what I said earlier about being a prey with no role! Very convenient that he happened to peep the one other person here who stated her role."
Silver absentmindedly scratches her cheek, not smart enough to comment against Crow's argument or whatever.
"That's true. Nobody is claiming against him, which means it might be likely that he's telling the truth, but... If a Scientist happened to be the Peeper instead, they might want to keep their role quiet, and would rather not paint a target for themselves by revealing they have some special ability."
"I-I also don't know if we even have enough time to wait for Nero to answer us..." Silver frowns, and wipes some sweat off of her forehead.

Albatross, after possibly making the firmest stand of his entire existence, then fully freaks out and yells " oh I cant wait anymore I'm sorry! I vote for Nero ." Albatross fully drops too the floor in a puddle and cries "I'm sorry" over and over again.

"... Ridiculous, but I don't know what else I would have expected from you." Uno stated drily. "Crow has been contributing to the discussion well enough and has even helped in making people speak up. I would rather not dispose of her. However, Nero's silence up to this point concerns me. Our time is running out here, so even if he does reveal who he is, I doubt that'll be enough for me to shift my vote elsewhere. The fact that he has stayed mostly silent till now makes him seem suspicious. I vote for Nero." He declared.
“Moron! Anyone can get everyone to speak up, that’s exactly what the scientists and killers want you to think,” TV-Head pauses, as if to say ‘aren’t I so right about this?’
“Regardless, Crow is willing to vote for me, something that no reasonable person thinks is the right decision. Someone that divorced from reality will only bite us to keep around. On the other hand, Nero is definitely a big killer candidate, but holds no sway over anyone so we can dispose of him at another juncture if necessary.”

"I don't think we have much reason to vote off Nero, but we have to vote for someone... And someone being quiet like that is as good of a reason as we're gonna get, isn't it?" Silver laughs nervously. "Though we should also all keep in mind what each of us say..."
"A-at least, for now, unless something changes... I'll vote Nero... I don't think we have enough time to even sway the vote in a different direction, and if we don't reach a majority..."

"The people of Opal Heart, of whom I am the Crown Prince of, are special. We are trained in the ways of empathy and spiritual enlightenment, even though few people in the mainland believe in our abilities." The raven-haired man explains. "I have the power to sense who is innocent, or a "Prey", I should say." Nero annoynces with a confident smirk. "For example, during our little exploration I sensed that Ennea was a Prey. You can ask her yourselves."
Nero puts an arm to his hip. "Now, with this information in mind, do you still wish to vote for me?"

"Forgive me for having my doubts but the timing of this is a bit... too fishy. My vote stands for now, I find it hard to believe this is just a coincidence."
"Well, there's nothing that can be done about it." Nero asserts. "I am unable to choose which individuals to investigate, it is simply revealed to me in a vision. Such is the will of the spirits."
He turns to the rest. "Is anyone else willing to challenge my claim to this power? Who else here thinks they can do what I do?"

Nero then turns his head to scan the group. "Oh, and whoever the killers and scientists are, because I know you're voting as well, this would also benefit you too. You'll know who your enemies are." The mullet-haired man shrugs. "Truly, there is no reason to dispose of me."

She sighed and looked around the room again. "Well, this brings up another problem. There's been two, debatably three power claims so far... how likely is it that all of them are Prey, though?"

“Out of these two options, I think I’ll vote for Twist,” she said. “Partially just to make it easier for others to switch if they choose to. I can’t say either is more suspicious to me, but Nero gets points for not wasting time in explaining his abilities.”

"Of course, there's the possibility that BOTH of us are Prey too, and this is exactly what the killers want... Fuck. Regardless, seeing as there aren't many options, I'll vote for Nero. If you want to believe him, fine, go off. But you're making a mistake, because I've given all I can give in my defense, and I can tell you that I'm Prey. Killing me would be a massive fucking mistake."

"Now, I must ask you all to ponder this. There are two killers, and three scientists total. If my strategy somehow were to falsely absolve another player of guilt, I would have one opportunity to do so as a killer, and two as a scientist." The empath explains. "Does this sound like a very sound or sustainable strategy? What happens when there are no more killers or scientists I can falsely claim are Prey? The cat would be out of the bag and my team would lose immediately."
"So...with all this in mind, which side would make more sense for me to be on? And would my powers be more useful if I were alive, or if I were dead?"
