DAY 1 - Evening

[islandiastaff]

[It's been a long walk, but welcome to Lounge Two! It looks a lot like Lounge One, although the food spread isn't quite as impressive this time. Gotta motivate some hardcore survival, after all.

M.C is here, of course.]

CONGRATULATIONS! You've made it through the first day, and it's time to relax... but not for long! Eat well, check out your new rooms, and when the sun touches the horizon, it'll be time for... the Trial of Justice!

Detective girl? [Thinking for a second.] Oh, you mean that girl with the glasses on her head, right?

[candyrocks]

Uh-huh! She's a scientist detective!

[wildrhythm]

But what if she's just saying she's a scientist detective... when she's really a spyentist detective?!

[n o r e g r e t s]

[candyrocks]

I never considered that!

[poetryandclarinet]

Huh. [That's kind of impressive..]

So she'll figure out the spies easily, then. [Good, a reliable person that Wirt can trust. With her telling them who to vote for, he doesn't have to make any big decisions like this on his own.]

[candyrocks]

Exactly! We just rely on her know-how! And I'm gonna learn how, too.

[poetryandclarinet]

You.. want to be a detective-scientist?

[candyrocks]

Yeah! Yeah! I'll catch all the spies!

[poetryandclarinet]

Sooo you just want to be one until you catch all the spies, then? [Not like, a permanent career in life or anything?]

[candyrocks]

Uh-huh. We gotta catch the spies and win for sure, right?

[poetryandclarinet]

Yeah, that's the gist of it Greg. [He's not really confident that Greg'll be able to figure anything out, but he'll give him the benefit of the doubt.]

[skyentist]

Scientific investigator, actually! I'm in training!

[poetryandclarinet]

Oh. Well... that's still impressive, I-I think. I- I mean, I'm just a normal high school student, with no talent or anything, so...

[skyentist]

It's okay if you're ordinary! You still might become something someday!

[poetryandclarinet]

N-no, no, I'm nothing special. [He waves his hands dismissively.] "Something"s are saved for people with real talent and motivation-- not for people like me. [And he's.. surprisingly okay with that.]

[skyentist]

That's still fine. It's the ordinary people that law enforcement is supposed to take care of, anyway.

[poetryandclarinet]

That's true, I guess. [He doesn't get why shes so into law enforcement though... but he still appreciates her trying to tell him that he's not completely useless.]

So, uh.. you're- you'll be able to figure out who the spies are, right?

[skyentist]

[It's sort of the family business. She plans to be a forensic scientist, her sister used to be on the force.]

Well, it's not like I can dust for spy prints or spray luminol to find spy blood. But I'm going to try!

[poetryandclarinet]

H-hah, it'd probably be too easy if we could just- dust for spy prints and find spy blood. [Not like there'd really be any prints or blood to find in a game like this, anyway.]

...thanks, by the way. A-and I'm Wirt, though you already know that, right?

[candyrocks]

I like detective better!

[skyentist]

... is it because detective's a shorter word?

[candyrocks]

Hmm, maybe, but also because it's much cooler.

[skyentist]

... I guess? I think it really depends on the detective. [There are some cool detectives out there... and then there's Gumshoe.]

[candyrocks]

Hm, well, you're the expert. I think tomorrow, Tapioca is definitely going to be a detective.

[skyentist]

Your frog? He'd be a good detective, I bet.
