This is what I'm thinking.
This was the private message in my mailbox this morning:
"Have you noticed there are quite a few people missing from the town? I think Lionheart is involved..."
So I went to the thread --that is, I went into town; and sure enough, there was young Lionheart softly lobbing accusations at me and Sax.
I know one thing: I am an innocent villager. Therefore, Lionheart is either innocently --but wrongly-- speculating on my guilt ...or is deliberately throwing attention from his own.
And what about my mysterious benefactor? There are only two strong possibilities to my mind: one, that ze is a seer and is trying to warn people about the present danger that is Lionheart; or two, that ze is a mafioso trying to get innocent Lionheart killed. It's perfect because I know that Lionheart is wrong to suspect me, so that makes me already susceptible to suspecting him.
I do hate being a sucker, though. Today I have piles of work to do, so I leave off thinking... around lunchtime, it occurs to me that the private message would be very credible indeed if it were timestamped before Lionheart's post. I don't know why I think this, but I do:
Lionheart's post: 05:36 07.01.2003
private message: 08:57 07.01.2003
And at 08:58 07.01.2003 bio K9 innocently appears in town, asking about his dogs. All of a sudden bio K9 starts to look a little *too* innocent to me. What bothers me the most is the private message, which was indeed sent to me by my dog-loving friend. If he's a seer, then he has good reason to hide his powers --else the Mafia eliminate him forthwith. But I think that he cannot know *both* that Lionheart is a mafioso and that I am a villager --it's too early in the game-- and it's just too risky for him to gamble that I'm not Mafia. Unless he knows that I'm not. Because he is.
I could be terribly wrong. In fact my instincts are very poor. IRL I am on the longest-known Rock-Paper-Scissors losing streak in modern history. And if I am wrong bio K9 --and I haven't forgotten that I actually do owe you money-- I will be grievously sorry, and I will lay flowers on your grave and weep to no end.
Kill bioK9. |
