What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Tory)

Guess that means it's Cally! Cally, shoot yourself in the face, please.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Cain in the ass)

We can airlock her, or throw her in the brig. I, of course, lean towards the airlock.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's probably a good time to remind people about the secrecy rules. (There've been no breaches, but while everyone's discussing the skill check, it's a good moment.) Players may not under any circumstances state what they played into a check. (Including, in this case, the Trust Instincts.) This includes commenting on the colour. You may, however, state that you are playing high or low into a check (and of course you can choose to lie or tell the truth as you see fit).

However, I would ask that you be more circumspect on commenting on your play after the fact, when all cards are visible. If (say) there's only one high card in the check, and a player claims to have played high, they're effectively identifying their play (or at least what they claim is their play) and that's a no-no. So, y'know, be careful.

Any questions or doubts, you can check with me.

Alas, Cally's OPG specifies that she can shoot another character, and so she cannot off herself. (In the game in which I played Cally, I was greatly disappointed to learn this, as I had constructed an elaborate plan that hinged on shooting myself in the face (IN THE FACE!).

Cool it, Admiral Airlock, let's not jump the gun. Jury's still out on both of you, as far as I'm concerned.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Starbuck in the Slammer)

Yeesh! I am still in here and the air is rife with accusations! This is not going well.

Ok, well, I can't do anything else in here with no cards, so does anyone object to me trying again just to see if Destiny is kind? Nobody has to play if they don't want to, although of course I wouldn't object to help. I cannae save mysel at this point.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Dee in the Headlights)

Might as well try, I guess. I can even help a little, still.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Cally McBeal)

I'm looking at Cain or Tory. I haven't ruled out both of you being cylons.

If you're gonna try flying the coop again I can help a little, Starbuck.

Ok, I activate the brig again!
