aww Paulie is actually a sweetheart. I told him I was struggling to stay motivated in this game and he cheered me right up, said he had my back. Maybe I was too quick to write him off as untrustworthy.

I'm getting a little worried about what next vote might look like. It seems like O-Ren is making friends, even though I'm not getting much at all from her. Al Capone says O-Ren told him he's her favourite (and honestly they're the pair you all should be rooting for). I asked him about what we might do if we went to a second vote, and he brought up voting Viola.

Now, I'd actually kinda be fine with that, I think? Except it would almost certainly burn bridges with Paulie and Robster, because of the whole alliance thing. I'm not ready to burn this tribe to the ground just yet. So I'm trying to convince Al that Viola might not be the best play right this second.

As for what would actually happen... well I was kind of assuming everyone would go O-Ren, but that's sounding less likely? Maybe Al becomes a target. I doubt Meyer is a priority target for anyone, they've probably even made a few alliances on the side at this point (and if I was around a bit more maybe it would have been with me >_>). Or have I drawn a target on my back for being less active than I was Day 1?
I'm glad none of these questions have to be resolved this episode!

It's quiet. Too quiet.

And by that I mean there are a bunch of people who don't seem to like talking too much. I was there last night with my bowl of Crunchy Nut cereal ready to party, but there wasn't much party.

First impressions: Paulie is chipper and easy to talk to, wants to make me feel important. Viola is relaxed and memey, I'm having a lot of fun with her. Robster is quirky but is making that work for him, and he probably has a really good head on his shoulders. Those three seem like the head honchos so far.
Al Capone doesn't know who Al Capone is. He's also struggling to send me prompts or things that aren't one-liners, and kinda seems disinterested in small talk. I wonder if he'll be any more fun if we ever get around to talking about the game?
I have one message from Meyer and Kaito. Meyer seems more like Paulie, Kaito seems more like Al.
And I haven't heard from O-Ren yet.

I wanted to be a social butterfly but honestly I should try not to stand out too much on this tribe. It might be hard to avoid becoming a big threat here. I might have already oversold myself a bit.
