The Smole: 62.13-They want us to say something so that it's not boring to watch us

The final seven's first introduction to Sao Paten was a daring prison break via reading and review. They managed to add 120/150 points to the pot. Unfortunately, Carolina, as one of the least suspected of the group, was executed next. Will the pot grow beyond the 373/500 currently? Or will the Mole begin exerting pressure? Who is the Mole?

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "Carolina had a strong disadvantage because she was locked up and only released in the late afternoon. She had no new information and I was not there to discuss the next strategy with her. I request a retrial as it was unfair for her."

●◆●◆●◆●

Avery: "In this new house, Marshall took the Asian looking room, Mandy and Cecelia took one room, and the rest of us roomed together. Seraphine began decorating the room with her art. She hung portraits of Beverly and Carolina. They were really weird portraits."

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "I'm not the only one thinking it, am I? How is Avery still here? He's not as dumb as he looks."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "What are these envelopes?"

Cecelia: "It says we can only open them when everyone is present."

Mandy: "I'll do the honours."

Mandy: "Dear contestants, when in prison, the wardens gave you a note that you had to keep in private. The note either told you if you were a traitor. For today, you will pair up where possible and perform tasks. After each round, you will vote to eliminate someone. The traitors have to prevent points from being earned for at least two rounds to qualify for an exemption. Will you be loyal or stage a betrayal? Will you be manipulative or play it straight?"

Mandy: "For the first round, two of us will go diving to find a clam with treasure, two of us will need to try and win a Simfest, and two of us will create art."

Marshall: "It is clear that Seraphine must go painting and Cecelia must take part in the Simfest."

Seraphine: "What if I refuse?"

Marshall: "Then you are a traitor."

Mandy: "Let her choose what she wants to do."

Marshall: "Are you a traitor as well? Clearly she should be a painter."

Cecelia: "Simfests are beneath me."

Avery: "They're beneath us even more."

Caitlin: "Who here has a diving license?"

Mandy: "I'm sure they'll teach us."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "Everyone behaved in a shady manner. There were tasks that were suited for some of us more than others yet nobody wanted to do it. They all wanted to seem suspicious. We debated for too long before we settled on an arrangement."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy and Marshall are at Universidade de Sao Paten. They need to each paint the statue in front of them and have it valued in total of at least 500 Simoleons to earn 10 points.

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine and Avery are off the coast diving in search of a clam that contains treasure. If they find it in 15 minutes, they get 10 points.

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin and Cecelia are at Uniblanco Plaza to attend the Simfest. At least one of them must win the contest to earn 10 points.

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "Cecelia eventually agreed to take part because nobody else would stand a chance, whereas I have onstage experience and even danced through the streets, so we were the best shots."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "Excuse me sir, we'd like to participate in the Simfest."

Proprietor: "Take the stage."

Caitlin: "Right...what should I do?"

Caitlin: "Maybe I'll do a roll on the floor."

Caitlin: "This was a Capoeira move, right? I J and Beverly were showing them off. Oh I'm not that flexible."

Caitlin: "This is embarrassing. But I have to smile through it."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "You started already?"

Mandy: "Yes?"

Marshall: "Don't you need to plan first? It's all about patience and details."

Mandy: "Normally yes, but I'm not an artist so no amount of planning is going to help me."

Marshall: "That is a strange thing for you to say."

●◆●◆●◆●

Avery: "This is awesome!"

●◆●◆●◆●

Avery: "We were given a crash course on diving before we dived down to search for clams."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "So I decided to take part in the Smole to be an inspiration to all the girls out there. Be fat and be proud!"

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "Caitlin's performance was embarrassing to watch. She had no clear direction. Sometimes she attempted stunts, other times she started rambling about her life. There was no narrative tying it together so I was confused throughout. And why oh why would she pick acrobatics?"

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "15 minutes is not a lot of time."

Avery: "You got somethin' for me?"

Avery: "How do I open you?"

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "How is your painting coming along?"

Marshall: "Shh."

Marshall: "I made an error! Don't distract me."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "Oh, I know! I can mime! I'll mime pulling a rope."

Cecelia: "Ayayay...don't let the audience know you're winging it..."

Caitlin: "Ugh!"

Caitlin: "It's so heavy!"

Caitlin: "Aah! I can't believe I actually lost my balance."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "I like your colours. How do I pry you open?"

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "I don't want to break your concentration, but they want us to say something so that it's not boring to watch us."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "Oops."

Caitlin: "Ta-da!"

Caitlin: "Thank you, thank you!"

Proprietor: "You're up next."

Cecelia: "Shh! I'm preparing. Don't break my concentration."

●◆●◆●◆●

Avery: "Open you fucking clam! Don't be so tight!"

Seraphine: "Is he still trying to open the same clam?"

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "I'm not an artist but I will do my best. You should do your best too or I will let everyone know you're a traitor."

Mandy: "It's all relative."

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "Count to 3."

Caitlin: "1...2...3!"

Cecelia: "Be free!"

●◆●◆●◆●

Avery: "There's a lotta shipwreck here."

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "My magic hands hold the power. I can set things free, and I can entrap things. I have trapped this in my very mind. It's time to show you what it is."

Cecelia: "Be free! What?"

Cecelia: "Heh heh. Heh. That was meant to happen."

Caitlin: "Uh....."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "How will they value our art? Art is subjective."

Marshall: "I would judge based on how close it looks to the actual. How realistic it looks. That is why the proportions matter."

Mandy: "You're saying art is a science."

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "Magic is all around us. If we concentrate, we can harness the power of magic around us. Take those flowers in the trees for instance."

Cecelia: "Close your eyes. Imagine them. See them blossoming in your mind. Smell the floral scent wafting through your noses."

Cecelia: "And now open your eyes."

●◆●◆●◆●

Avery: "I can't find it. I don't even know what treasure to find."

Avery: "I'm running out of air."

Avery: "I need to go back up. I don't wanna die down here."

Seraphine: "He was wasting his oxygen."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "Maybe I should have painted it head-on instead of from the side."

Marshall: "I painted it too large but it is too late to restart."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "I didn't see you there before. Do you hold the treasure?"

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "And release the power!"

Cecelia: "Thank you!"

Cecelia: "Thank you and have a good day."

Caitlin: "Woo! That was amazing!"

Cecelia: "Even though this is far beneath me I still take pride in what I do. I am not putting my reputation on the line."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy has finished her painting. It is valued at 244 Simoleons.

Marshall has finished his painting. It is valued at 313 Simoleons. Together, they have a total value of over 500 Simoleons, so they have earned 10 points.

●◆●◆●◆●

Proprietor: "The results are in. The winner of the Simfest is...Tomeka Post!"

Caitlin: "What? Not Cecelia?"

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "'Too strict and impersonable'? That's a load of bull. They're just jealous of my skill."

●◆●◆●◆●

15 minutes are up. Seraphine and Avery failed to find the clam with treasure.

"Contestants, it is time to vote to eliminate someone."

Marshall: "Mandy and I are the only ones to succeed. The rest of you are traitors and should be eliminated. Especially Cecelia. You should have won easily."

Cecelia: "I did not have time to prepare a set or understand what Brazilians like. You can ask Caitlin."

Caitlin: "It's true. She tried hard and deserved to win."

Caitlin: "Although there was one part where she messed up."

Cecelia: "Everyone makes mistakes, especially under pressure when you have to do things on the spot."

Cecelia: "Caitlin on the other hand didn't look like she was trying."

Caitlin: "Hey! I was backing you up."

Caitlin: "I'm not a performer. It's natural I wouldn't win."

Cecelia: "You chose the acrobatics category."

Cecelia: "You know your own size and limits and you chose something that you were certain to lose in."

Caitlin: "Lalala not hearing it!"

Avery: "So we're voting for one of them ain't we?"

Seraphine: "It looks like it."

Cecelia: "I will not have my professionalism and integrity insulted. My reputation is at stake."

Cecelia: "Don't vote for me. Vote for someone who clearly won't try."

"You must now vote for someone to eliminate. The one with the most votes will be eliminated. In the event of a tie, one of the tied contestants will be randomly eliminated."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Cecelia and Caitlin took the heat off us. Nobody even questioned why we failed to find anything. It's better for my game to eliminate Cecelia."

●◆●◆●◆●

Avery: "It is weird that Cecelia couldn't win a Simfest. She's the pro."

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "My vote is for Caitlin. I made my case and I hope the rest see that keeping her is detrimental in the long run."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "My vote is for Caitlin."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "I wasn't going to vote for Cecelia but she came after me so sorry not sorry."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "Cecelia couldn't win, but a traitor would surely know that would make her suspicious to be eliminated. I think she can do better in subsequent rounds than Caitlin, so I will vote for Caitlin."

●◆●◆●◆●

"The votes are in. With a 3-3 vote, there is a tie between Cecelia and Caitlin. The one eliminated is..."

●

◆

●

◆

●

◆

●

"...Cecelia. Please head upstairs."

Cecelia: "You will regret this."

●◆●◆●◆●

"In front of you are the next set of tasks. Two of us must earn at least 100 Simoleons in tips while dancing sexily, two of us must succeed in a trick shot, and one of us gets to skip this round."

Mandy: "We should switch up the teams. I want to pair up with Caitlin."

Caitlin: "I want to do the dance. Are you sure you're up for it?"

Mandy: "Can we do something else? We can try the trick shots."

Caitlin: "Hmm, that's not a bad idea."

Marshall: "I will not be caught dead dancing so I will sit out"

Caitlin: "Seraphine, Avery, are the two of you okay with dancing as a pair?"

Avery: "This hot dog knows how to attract the ladies."

●

●

Avery and Seraphine are at Teatro Imperial. They must earn at least 100 Simoleons of tips in 10 minutes dancing sexily to earn 10 points.

Avery: "You ready to get swooned?"

Seraphine: "You're not my type."

Avery: "BOOM!"

Avery: "Eat my hot dog!"

●

Caitlin and Mandy are at Los Suenos South Private Club. Caitlin must succeed in the Hole In Two trick shot to earn 5 points.

Caitlin: "Here goes nothing."

Caitlin: "I missed."

Avery: "Damn girl. You got moves."

Seraphine: "And you don't."

Avery: "Throw me the money!"

Mandy must complete the Putt Putt Gnome trick shot successfully to earn 5 points.

Caitlin: "It's up to you, Mandy."

Avery: "Let's get low."

Avery: "Woo!"

●

◆

●

◆

●

Mandy: "OW!"

Mandy: "It hit my specs!"

Mandy: "That was a complete failure."

●

◆

●

◆

●

"You have earned 59 Simoleons in tips, below the target of 100."

Avery: "Whaddya mean? We were sexy as fuck."

●

●

◆

"Contestants, the second round of tasks have not been successful. It is time to vote to eliminate someone again."

Marshall: "The moment I'm not involved we earn nothing. All of you are traitors."

Seraphine: "There can't be that many traitors. Especially since we removed Cecelia."

Seraphine: "I personally would choose to vote for Avery. His dancing was laughable, not sexy. Especially in this costume."

Avery: "No you weren't sexy."

Seraphine: "You said I was hot and didn't know I could dance so well."

Avery: "That's true."

Marshall: "What about the two of you?"

Mandy: "We needed to succeed in a trick shot that we've never done before. We only had one shot."

Caitlin: "It's not easy you know."

Marshall: "Excuses."

Caitlin: "Why not you try it then? Instead of sitting around at home then coming back at lecturing others. No wonder Carolina didn't like you."

Mandy: "Caitlin!"

Marshall: "I am her father. I don't need her to like me. She just needs to be safe and healthy."

Seraphine: "How has that worked out for you? She's no longer here and she was beginning to doubt whether you truly saw her as a father."

Marshall: "Is that true?"

Mandy: "Let's focus on the task at hand. I think we overlooked Seraphine and Avery earlier in the first round. They couldn't find clams either. I'm okay with voting with either of them."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "I think it is better to keep Seraphine than to keep Avery so I will vote for Avery."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Avery's the obvious choice. He can be eliminated at any time. It's better to vote off Marshall first."

●◆●◆●◆●

Avery: "I'm voting for Seraphine 'cos she wanted me out."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "I'll vote for...Avery."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "I'm keeping Caitlin as my vote. She is a traitor. It is too obvious."

●◆●◆●◆●

"With 1 vote, Caitlin is safe. With 1 vote, Seraphine is safe. With 1 vote, Marshall is safe. The next one to be eliminated with 2 votes is..."

●

●

"...Avery. Please head upstairs."

Avery: "Fuck y'all."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "We need to form two more pairs. One pair will eat greasy food while the other will run around avoiding being caught on camera."

Seraphine: "I think we're the fittest, Marshall. We can pair up and perform the second task."

Marshall: "You're far too flashy and obvious."

Mandy: "I haven't formed a team with Seraphine yet. I'd like to pair up with her."

Seraphine: "Do you think you're going shopping?"

Marshall: "I'm okay with you and Seraphine, and me and Caitlin."

Caitlin: "We're going for greasy food in that case."

Marshall: "No, we're not sacrificing health. We will perform the second task. That's final."

●

●

◆

●

◆

●

Marshall and Caitlin have 10 minutes in the slums of Sao Paten. They must avoid being caught on camera for the entire duration. Each of them that succeeds earns 5 points for the pot.

Marshall: "We should split up to increase our chances of success."

Caitlin: "Not that I want to stick with you anyway."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine and Mandy must eat every item on the menu in 20 minutes. Each of them that succeeds earns 5 points for the pot.

Seraphine: "I'll start with a taco."

Mandy: "So will I."

Seraphine: "No time to talk. Get eating."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "It's raining and my dress is wet. Fortunately it's non-absorbent. Fatness First clothes are practical and beautiful."

Marshall: "Unff!"

Marshall: "Urgh..."

Marshall: "The cameras will not expect me to be jumping from ledge to ledge."

Marshall: "I still have it in me."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Hack!"

Mandy: "Slowly does it. Don't choke."

Seraphine: "Don't be dainty now. Just slurp it down."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "I should keep moving. It's dangerous to stay in one spot."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "The food is soggy and disgusting."

Seraphine: "This is not a vibe."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "That's one way of making us experience the life of poverty in Brazil. And one experience is more than enough."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "Huff...I'm doing this in heels."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "I hope I don't fall sick."

Mandy: "The last item on the menu."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "I don't see any cameras so far."

Marshall: "That was noisier than I hoped."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Leaving liquid for last is the strategic choice."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "I'm not as young as I used to be...but I have a good vantage point."

"Welcome back contestants. Mandy and Seraphine have earned 5/10 points for their efforts."

"However, Caitlin and Marshall were both caught on camera and thus earn nothing."

Seraphine: "What a surprise, Marshall."

Mandy: "What are you even doing on the roof?"

Marshall: "I wanted to get a better view from above."

Caitlin: "He was hopping around like a monkey."

Seraphine: "You failed too, Caitlin."

Caitlin: "Is that really a surprise?"

Marshall: "She admitted she's a traitor."

Caitlin: "No I didn't! Don't twist my words."

Marshall: "Who among you succeeded?"

Seraphine: "Me."

Mandy: "What? I was the one who finished first."

Seraphine: "You were so dainty and upset about the rain."

Marshall: "I believe Seraphine more than you."

Mandy: "You have got to be kidding me."

Caitlin: "Mandy's showing her true colours."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "I was blindsided by the group. I was the only one to succeed but somehow they turned on me. Seraphine gave herself away as a traitor the moment she tried to steal my credit."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "I'm voting for Marshall."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "I vote for Mandy."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "Caitlin has failed far too often. I vote for her."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "It's better for me to vote for either Marshall or Mandy. I'll vote for Mandy."

●◆●◆●◆●

"The votes are in. Caitlin and Marshall each receive 1 vote, but with 2 votes, the next one eliminated is..."

●

"...Mandy. Please head upstairs."

Mandy: "I don't know what you guys are thinking."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "The final task. One of us must sit out while the other two must search the library for Mole traits for 10 points."

Caitlin: "I'm not sitting out of this one."

Marshall: "I already sat out of one so I must join this one in the spirit of fairness."

Seraphine: "There are still traitors among us."

Caitlin: "Why are you looking at me?"

Seraphine: "You're clearly one of them. If we promise not to vote you out so that you can get an exemption, you sit out. How does that sound?"

Caitlin: "I wasn't born yesterday. Promises mean nothing here. And you did just as badly."

Marshall: "The one who does not need the information should stay behind."

Caitlin: "It's always good to have more info. I'm not certain of my Mole."

Seraphine: "I'm certain but I'm not going to let others figure it out too."

Caitlin: "That's selfish."

Caitlin: "Take me, Marshall. I'm not the Mole. I want to win money in the next task."

Seraphine: "The two of you only just paired up."

Caitlin: "Is that a crime?"

Marshall: "In the spirit of fairness, we should get an equal chance with everybody. I haven't had a chance to pair up with Seraphine yet."

Caitlin: "But--"

Seraphine: "He has spoken. Let's go, Marshall."

●

●

●

Marshall and Seraphine are at the Sao Paten Central Library. They have 10 minutes to find out what each contestant felt were the most important traits a Mole should have prior to the start of the season. Finding 6 of these sets earns 5 points, while finding all 12 earns 10 points.

●◆●◆●◆●

"Your time starts now."

Marshall: "I need to be methodical but fast."

Seraphine: "Nope, this looks like a normal book."

Marshall: "I don't see anything of use."

Marshall: "There is a postcard of Beverly in here. 4 traits are written on the back: Chaotic, manipulative, adaptable, unpredictable."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Which book is most likely to have what I want?"

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "There's another postcard slotted here. It's sticking out."

Marshall: "Resilient, bold, manipulative, social."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "It's a postcard. Now I know what to look out for."

Seraphine: "I J's says: manipulative, resilient, meticulous, and smart."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "This one has nothing."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Something fell out."

Seraphine: "Calm, inconspicuous, adaptable, and observant."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "It's taped here. I better be quiet. I don't want Seraphine finding out."

Marshall: "Patient, calm, inconspicuous, observant."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Marshall hasn't come upstairs yet. The postcards better not all be at the bottom."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "Fortunately I found my own."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Sullivan's is useful since he left too early."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "Chaotic, unpredictable, creative, social."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Adaptable, bold, misleading, and smart."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Avery's postcard is here."

Marshall: "What is she doing in there?"

Marshall: "How many have you found?"

Seraphine: "Don't creep up on others like that!"

Marshall: "I found 5. How about you?"

Seraphine: "Which 4?"

Marshall: "I'm not sharing."

Seraphine: "Then neither will I."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "I found Seraphine's before she did. This is extremely valuable."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Creative, adaptable, observant, and social."

"Welcome back, contestants. Marshall and Seraphine managed to earn 10 points in the final task."

Caitlin: "I knew I should have taken part. Are you going to share information with me?"

Marshall: "We did well so you are the only one to have contributed nothing. You don't deserve to be in the finale or get information."

Caitlin: "But there was a deal earlier."

Seraphine: "You didn't accept it."

Caitlin: "That's not fair. You can't vote someone who sat out out. I tried my best in the mission. I sat out at the most important time. I deserve to be in the final two."

Marshall: "You'll go for the exemption in that case because you're a traitor."

Marshall: "I deserve to be in the final because I contributed the most out of the three of us here. There is no reason to eliminate me unless both of you are traitors that want the exemption. If you vote me out, it means sacrificing the hard work of everyone in this mission."

Seraphine: "I shouldn't be voted out because I helped earn money at a pivotal juncture here. I am not a traitor and so there is no need to worry about losing points. Caitlin here has already admitted to being a traitor. The answer is clear then: vote her out, and we be part of the final two."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "It is a gamble. I cannot guarantee that either of them will not take the exemption. But Caitlin is the logical choice. She is more likely to choose the exemption over points."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "Between Marshall and Seraphine, Seraphine is more likely to sacrifice points for the exemption so I vote for her."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "It's clear that Caitlin needs to be voted out. She has outstayed her welcome."

●◆●◆●◆●

"The votes are in. The final one eliminated is..."

●

◆

●

◆

●

◆

●

"...Caitlin. Please head upstairs."

●◆●◆●◆●

"Marshall, Seraphine, good job on making it to the final part of the mission. There are 25/80 points at stake here in this envelope. If you are a traitor, you have a choice to make now: take the points or go for an exemption. Only Seraphine qualifies for an exemption, so the question now is whether she is a traitor and she goes for it. If she does, no points are earned and she gets the exemption. Seraphine, what is your choice?"

●

◆

●

◆

●

◆

●

Seraphine: "I'm trading in these points for an exemption."

Marshall: "Tamade."

"There are still some questions to answer, so let us bring everyone back."

●

●

●

"Contestants, Seraphine has claimed herself an exemption and sacrificed the points in this mission, revealing herself as a traitor. But how about the rest? Let us go down the line to reveal your role."
