Cry Wolf: Wolves Only

[majorbonerkiller]

[Unlike his other presentation where Ivan's face was just a projection on a screen, the wolves get to meet him face-to-face on his ridiculous throne.]

Okay, wolves. [A snort.] What a pathetic two you are.

[A sigh, as if accepting their uselessness.] What's your plan of attack?

Hey, kid. You hungry?

[gunnabeahunter.livejournal.com]

I'm not pathetic!

[Chico has no idea what's going on, but he's going to pretend he does and stands confidently near Ocelot. Only to get distracted.]

You have food?

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

Nope. We're going to eat one of them.

...Well not really. But don't expect any food from him. The Major is a свинья.

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

Shut up, puss-in-boots.

[He wiggles his butt into his throne and sneers.]

Of course the whole hat-drawing would leave me with the two stupidest wolves out there.

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

...Major, I'm warning you. When this is done, I'm going to come find you. And we're going to have a talk...

[He looks at Chico again.]

Go mingle with the sheep. Act like one of them. And vote on one of them in their poll to divert suspicion.

We're also going to have to eliminate one...

whenever chico says anything in russian, assume it is being pronounced wrong

[gunnabeahunter.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to eat anyone! I'm not a monster!

[Even though it would be really cool to be one. He scrunches up his face in confusion.]

What's a... smin-yeah?

[Then he frowns in unhappiness.]

I don't like this game...

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

Nobody's going to suspect you right away. Use that to your advantage and get close to some of them... if you really gain one's trust, have a private conversation with them so they open up to you. Just don't be too direct.

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

You can't threaten me~

[Ivan reclines, grinning.]

Nice to see you playing seriously though. It would have been boring if you were both pacifists.

[gunnabeahunter.livejournal.com]

[Chico still doesn't like this, but if there's one thing he's learned from Big Boss (other then to forgive himself if makes a big mistake) it's to listen to people more experienced them him. He frowns and kicks dirt in Raikov's general direction.]

I am no pacifist.

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

Hmm... that clue...

Alright. We should off someone who seems 'dangerous'. Cut down on the number of people they think they can trust.

I'm thinking Volgin... he has more than enough reputation.

[gunnabeahunter.livejournal.com]

Who's Volgin? Do you think he's more dangerous then that demon, El Colibri?

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

Haha, perfect pla--oh.

[Ivan's not allowed to sway opinion, being the Shepard and all, but this discussion is making him look decidedly displeased; so he'll just sit on his throne and fume a bit.]

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

That thing might be going up for a vote anyway. That problem may take care of itself.

[gunnabeahunter.livejournal.com]

Hm, if you think so.

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

Major, I think our vote is in.

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[Not sounding too happy:]

Volgin, or the helicopter...?

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

The Colonel, of course.

[gunnabeahunter.livejournal.com]

I pick that Volgin guy.

If El Colibri is still there, I'm picking it next.

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[He vehemently narrows his eyes at Ocelot, a scowl on his lips.]

...Fine.

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

Wait.

...The day's not over yet. I changed my mind.

Volgin's focusing on us too much. If we kill him now, we're only going to look suspicious.

[Pauses.]

I think we should go after Big Boss.

It's too bad we didn't get to use him more, but it's such an unexpected maneuver from either of us that I think that'll outweigh anything we'd benefit from his faith in me. There's only two of us wolves, so we need to play carefully.

[gunnabeahunter.livejournal.com]

We can't get rid of Big Boss!

[He likes Big Boss.]

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

It's a game, remember?

Let's show him we're better than him at this game. Imagine how impressed he'll be.

[He grins viciously to himself.]

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[Ivan perks up, this new plan is much more to his liking~ He still can't really comment on it though, but his tone is pleased.]

Do whatever you want, wolves~

[gunnabeahunter.livejournal.com]

Impressed?

[You have his attention.]

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

I'm going after Liquid.

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[Leaning back in his throne again, legs crossed.]

Why, because he's been outed as a sheep?

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

Of course. Not going after the safe-sheep would be poor strategy.

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

Keep them guessing, huh?

[A small laugh.]

Okay.

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

Unless I change my mind later, right now I'm going to say Colonel Volgin needs to be taken down this time.

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[Scowls.] Yeah, what's your reasoning?

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

I don't have you give you a reason.

[But he does anyway, because bragging is fun.]

Based on your criteria, people are pinning him as a sheep. I'm getting rid of the chance of going up against him in a vote.

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[He rests his cheek against the backs of his fingers, irritated even more so because Ocelot's choice made strategic sense.]

Very well. [It was just a game anyway, and he wasn't allowed to persuade.]
