Locked to Murder Nations

[pasodoble]

( Sunday afternoon, after the incentives and lists have gone up, the nations meet.

The bed is unfixed and there are some clothes hanging around which gives it a cluttered appearance but otherwise, Spain's room in Emerald Wing doesn't appear to be in bad shape.

Closing the door behind them, he'll rush around the sitting area, tossing the clothes onto the bed and into the cabinet carelessly. He'll also leave the liquor cabinet open with several glasses on top. From the looks of it, he's been using it himself.

It only takes a few seconds for him to make his last minute preparations and then he cuts straight to the point. )

We need to work together.

I don't care about the past there's definitely nothing in it that I regret enough, but um. Asking something like that... Does that mean that if one of us is provided an incentive we can't refuse that you expect we're gonna like.

Just agree to let each other get away with it and help condemn someone else? ...Is that even allowed?

[vytis]

We don't deserve to get away with our murders any more than anyone else, as long as our people aren't involved. None of the people here deserve to be sacrificed any more than we deserve it.

...And an agreement like that would cause problems any time more than one of us is a suspect, like you and Miss Ukraine were last week.

There's nothing in the rules forbidding it...

All it says is that the one most directly involved with the murder is rewarded.

B-But I was just wondering. If such an incentive were to come up... I don't know.

[vytis]

That would count as acting as an accomplice, though, probably. I wouldn't feel right knowingly letting anyone get away with murdering someone, though.

[balzams]

Ah... Yeah, of course.

I-it's not like I was really suggesting it or anything.

It wouldn't be fair to the others here if we agreed to a thing like that. I want to get out of here as much as everyone else and I'll do whatever I can but... I want to do it the way my people would want me to. If I'm going to represent them, I want to be the best I can be for them, you know?
