"It's very important that you reveal to no one else in our crew what I tell you..."

You got it, babe.

Iris looks uncomfortable as the guys try to use the saw to free her from the handcuffs. Ian reaches over and almost instantly flips it off her wrist with a bit of a flourish, much to her relief ... and confusion.

That's amazing! How did you ... hey, why didn't you do that sooner?

I kinda like how you look in cuffs.

You sentimental old fool...

Well, Iris said she'd meet a bit after lunch, and since she just met up with us, I'd assume that means its a bit after 12 o'clock, maybe 12:30? Maybe I should get around to installing a clock in this place, huh? I've been saying that for years...

Anyways, I should point out that Iris must've misspoke in when she said that Dickie met her in the basement, considering I was there, and Dickie wasn't. Ya know, for the record and all that.

As night fell Dragonatieri, Quarrioni, Piav, Ian and Dickie met Iris in the basement of the theater:

So time is near! argh. Its too soon for me to decide.

I will put forward my vote for richy-rich I think. Not just yet though. I just hope I have enough time for a little more information.

Regards, Cpt. PB

Hm.... my husband was not there. Tobad, we can not pool our information.

So, do we think that the people at the meetings can be trusted? What about those not there?

Firstly, Zabrina my darling, I have a great deal of information if you really want to pool - just say the word (in a postal message, of course - can't be letting some of this stuff get into the open just yet)!

I think that the meetings have little or no semblance to who can be trusted or not. If Iris knew who was a rat, she would have already killed all of them! Besides, the general consensus seems to say that at least one wife is a rat, and you guys have meetings...=P

Whoever it was that said that LeAnn was an informant and I was too, I can assure you that you are wrong. The only reason we talked is because we gave an exchange of information - she told me what I wanted to know, and I told her the thing I've been hinting at for the past day or so. If you want to exchange information with me, I'd be glad to do that. But I'll have you know that her evidence for you IS shaky, and I will not be acting on it at all.

Sorry guys, it wasn't Dickie, it was Johnny Blue. I made a mistake in my first post...

"Thank you gentlemen," Iris said, "Today's operation went off without a hitch.

"Now we have only 10 hours until the end of the day. Please get me your votes before then if you intend to convict today. Just to clarify for ye of little faith *casts sideways glance at Zabrina * you may discuss who to vote for in the thread. If you'd like you can even stick to the format of vote:name but the only votes that count are the ones that come to my Inbox. So you can say you voted for someone in the thread, but vote for someone else by PM. Is that clear enough for you?

"That is all..."

Do you guys mind telling us what was this "operation"? I'm curious to know. Has anybody seen my husband? Its been about 20 hours since I last saw him.....

There are two things I have to be curious about, but maybe the information told to them was on the operation. There are many possibilities of what it could be. Maybe its night time assignments? I want to know, by my adorable pink fluffy clothing tell me!

Phew, got out of hand there. There isn't much to vote for here, and the meetings, at least from the wives one, didn't point fingers at anyone. Not too sure why the information must be so sensitive and secretive, honestly, but hey, I was told to only tell people I trusted most, so no public announcements. Anyways, has anyone have any accusations and will actually publicly give their reasoning to accuse them?

Thus far I haven't heard any convincing accusations. I have a couple of suspicians right now, but nothing valid enough to share with the entire group at this point. I have seen a couple of people voting for Richie, but I personally have no valid reason to do this. Trex, who I am assuming to be loyal to the family so far as I can tell, is ok with LeAnn's ramblings so I'm trying to keep an open mind about them as well. I wonder about the "operation" as well, but I suspect we might find out about it later on in this game.. of life. My husband was busy working on the "operation" and I fully trust him and adore him , so it must be something that is good for the family. I'd like another glass of red wine, thanks.

At this point, I don't really trust LeAnn's judgment, but I don't think she's necessarily a rat either, she just seems confused. Richie's posts do seem a little suspicious I suppose, but I don't think it's enough to go on.... I think any of us would act odd if our friends and family claimed we were a traitor.

So, at this point, I don't really have any strong convictions. Do you guys think it would be better to take a guess and vote someone off, or just to wait it out and see what happens? On one hand, we need to do something if we want to come out of here alive, but on the other I'd hate to unjustly kill one of the family.

Still got nothing but vague suspicions here. I'm certainly not ready to vote yet.

Do you guys mind telling us what was this "operation"? I'm curious to know.

The picture seems pretty clear, though now my helmet looks blue instead of dark blue.

If Iris felt that this part of the family business could be trusted to everyone, I'm sure she would have shared it with everyone. As such, I will maintain her trust and simply say that all appears to have gone well and that is good for the family.

It appears that you guys were transporting something.......can you tell me what it was? Was it weapons?

Still got nothing but vague suspicions here. I'm certainly not ready to vote yet.

I hardly even have vague suspicions to base a vote on. Guess I should go reviewing today's events a bit more, maybe something will turn up.

I think that we've all got to just go along with what LeAnn says, hm'kay? That being if worse comes to worse, and we don't find anyone else to vote for. She was right about Boyd, she could be right about Richie.

And, LeAnn could also be WRONG!

All I know is that Iris said to keep this business quiet, and already we have LeAnn and Pavarti asking questions..........hmmmmmmm????

Good job ladies!

Zabrina, I still love you with all of my heart, but I think it would be wise not to vote for Richie. While her reasoning on Boyd may have been enough for me, now that I know the truth about LeAnn's "abilities" (or lack of), I don't think we can go off of her reliability anymore. I just don't think voting for Richie is a good idea...If someone CAN investigate, I'd like to request that they do him tonight, though.

~Trexxisanti

What ever you want dearie! You seem to know more than me at this point, so...

I've heard everything brought up today and have been thinking, we can definately take a shot on the dark, but it's way too risky because we may just end up killing a loyal Baritone!

I'm not sure about this but I have my suspicions, but there's no reason I'm going to vote for someone that doesn't have the evidence against them.

Someone cheating was brought up earlier, this is a grave situation we are in, I'm sure that finding a discontented wife or husband won't be hard.

This is a pretty good idea. Hopefully, there is an investigator and he will read this. As for LeAnn, I think she is taking shots in the dark. Where is the lovely Adelaide? She has been awfully quiet today after being tortured and her husbands death. That is understandable but something to be noted.

Running out of time and getting only more confused as to who to vote for.

I have decided not to vote, and to see what the night brings. We can not get a majority together in such a little amount of time. So to those with powers in the respective fields... ?not sure they exist?

Investigate Richie

?Investigate LeAnn?

?Protect a loyal night action?

Kill two rats

?Block the rats actions?

And we will be fine

"No one has been convicted today. I'll meet you all in the basement of the Theater again tomorrow morning, first thing..."

Please get your night actions in. Day 3 will start on Tuesday.
