Oh NICE, she could get to be theatricality furious about it and it might also get Stone off her back about it lol.

No more competing sources of history! And even if Stone doesn't believe her, doesn't matter! Everyone else does!

He can’t spirit it off somewhere and hide it if it’s broken. I was going to say win-win but it’s just win.

Circe wins, best possible outcome of them all

Of course! The only good outcome.

You know this is only going to make Stone hold on longer, right? XD He has to remake all those tablets now...

As long as he’s doing stuff and not talking shit about her to all the foundlings, he’s not her worst problem right now. Though it would be NICE if he would just DIE like a normal person.

Okay, I’m thinking about staging the break-in at the start of week 2, because her contact with the producers will probably tell her what Cain’s saying about her in full view of the midges lol and she’ll know if she plays it off as an attack on her directly pretty much anyone who’s talked to him will believe it. Maybe she’ll even stage a minor injury - she’s definitely axe crazy enough to give herself a head injury just to spite him. (And then she can like “forgive” him and get a bunch of praise for being magnanimous or whatever)

Oh my God.

That's amazing. I am pro-This.

If Graham isn't like immediately exiled or stoned to death or anything, Stone will want take him on in punishment and make him mine clay so he can make more tablets. somebody's gotta do it and it's mucky work.

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS.

(This is beautiful and terrible.)

And Branch gets a big fat 'I told you so' out of it to Cain.

He is going to be the most I Told You So.

How should this play out, do you think? Biggest problems from my PoV would be getting past Stone, who probably sleeps with the good tablets under his pillow, and getting Gil to the spot at the right time, if we want him framed really good.

Stone does keep the tablets in his bedchamber :| she will have to do this when he's not there. but if Cain/Graham continues to be good with Stone (I mean, we're 3 tags in, but still, he's showing promise already) and interested in history and reading, he could wind up "adopted" and taken on as an apprentice, which could be a good way to frame him

Oh, in that case it's even easier in some ways - I bet Stone doesn't want to hang around the elder house with someone who keeps implying he should die in the days leading up to that ancestor festival.

No matter what, Stone will almost absolutely know it was her but he can't prove it.

Wait Cain shouldn't be implying that (or he absolutely won't be getting brought on as an apprentice, ahaha). Is Circe living in the elder huts or something?

(I was playing like Stone has his own hut, where he both keeps a lot of his history tablets, and also makes them and teaches his handful of students in the morning >.> )

I think she means Circe. Since she's the one telling him every day how he should move on, and she could probably annoy him out of his own house if she tried hard enough.

She absolutely could - I'm sure if she worked at it she could annoy him right up onto the space station.

I figured all of the elders lived near each other and she must live in the same area, because taking care of the elders is part of her job description and I don't think she's the kind of person who would take kindly to having to like run across town every time someone fell or got stuck or something.

Ah okay, that makes sense! And yeah, her nagging at him more obviously than usual could send him along to visit the farmers or the stream to check for new clay deposits or whatnot :P

Okay, so she definitely won't be able to snag the best of the best tablets, because she still doesn't know where Stone hid them, but he can't keep all 200 or so years worth of tablets in his bedroom.

If we want to get Cain there, her best bet might be implying to Branch that she's going to kill Stone. She kind of figures Branch is more sympathetic to Cain than to her so it's also a loyalty test. Then she has all the time Cain is wasting sneaking around Stone's hut waiting for her to strike to smash the tablets.

Oh Jesus fuck, he would immediately tattle to Cain if she did that.

Cain would be way angrier that Circe set them both up, than about Branch setting him up.

He might be angry but what's he going to do about it? (Hubris: the person)

Someone order an extra large lynch mob? Bc Cain can
