You shake your head and wave your hand to turn down Crossbill’s scheme. She understandably shrugs and gets comfortable for the final bit.
“Quye, my question is…” You smirk. “Does this person have lighter skin?”
“<span class="mu-s">...Yes.</span>” Quye grits his teeth! No veto?! Has he thrown in the towel?! With one question left, victory is secured!
Two more people begin glowing…
“Quyeee! Why didn't you pick me? Too lively for ya?” Sasha laughs at the warden. The man doesn’t say a word back. “Boy is too shy.”
“Ah, it’s my turn as well.” Tihana looks at her hand with a strange sense of glee.
“Tihana… This can’t be happening…!” Sally doesn’t want this to happen.
“Please, don’t look so sad. It’s only going to take a moment.” Tihana smiles back.
“But you don’t deserve this! Nobody did and yet…!” Sally can’t handle this.
“I’d rather it be me than you.” Tihana grabs Sally’s hands. “Remember what you told me before: Pirates always look forward with a smile on their faces!”
“They do not.” Dunja likes her historically accurate pirates.
“Dunja, it’s okay to be in contact with your emotions. I know next time we will cooperate with one another, if you’re open to it...” Tihana is incapable of holding any resentment in her body.
“Whatever you say.” Dunja realizes no arguments can make any of these people act smarter.
“Uff, what a cold-blooded lizard! Nobody enjoys the company of a dispassionate woman! Not even hell can warm your little heart!” Sasha laughs in Dunja’s face.
“Good Night.” A detached Dunja retorts as Sasha is brought to the ground.
2 more prisoners lose their footing…
“Warden Quye, you have realized that this is checkmate, right?” Crossbill starts taunting the big man.
“Oh, I didn’t notice! Phil only has to get rid of one person with his last question to win!” Mage realizes. “He still can veto a question though!”
“So? These two can’t be more different, you can make 100 questions and the results will be the same.” Crossbill points out.
“Do you yield?” You cheekily ask.
“Double or nothing. No vetoes. Guess now. Sink or Swim. Show us you are not a coward.” Quye decides to up the bet.
“A masterful gambit, Quye. Truly everyone in this room wants to have your respect…” Crossbill is full of sarcasm.
“Silence.” Quye wants only to hear the words from your lips. “You get double the winnings. Are you in or not?”
