I mentioned earlier that the strategy I'd recommend would be in deciding who or who not to trust. I think it'd be a good idea to understand who other's trust, as well.
[also, she's the kind of tough, hardass woman that Makoto wishes she were but that's neither here nor there]
I want to try and work together as much as possible.
You're also aware of how people could use this to their advantage, yes? [Said in a calm tone.] Of course, that's not saying I don't trust you. I just want you to be aware of this fact.
[...]
I want your assurance that you have everyone's best interests in mind.
I am. But we have to start somewhere, and it wouldn't be the first time someone's tried to take advantage of me.
[said simply, curt, but the second part, she's got zero reservations on.]
I promise, I want to survive, yes. But I want to make sure that the others do as well, and, if possible, we save the people who've been taken over by the monsters.
As...non-contributing as the other adults are, I'd say that it's safe to trust them. You heard that Bennings was a town person, and Phil is...relatively harmless, as far as I'm concerned.
[She puts a hand on her hip, shifting her weight to the side.] As for Snake, I'm not willing to see him die until we figure out what's going on with him. I don't believe that he's part of the mafia--if he was he could've lied about falling asleep around the same time I did.
I believe there is certainly something more to Snake, yes. The rest, I'm not certain of, even from what I've heard.
For now, I am inclined to believe that Yoshi-san is a town person, or an effective means of throwing us off of the scent of the true mafia. [she shifts her weight onto one side, and then places a hand to her chin in thought.]
But I think it is safe to say he's in the greatest danger, or at least... he should be? Unless they'll opt to continually block him from investigating. In either case, we should try to pre-empt what their next move would be.
But Yoshi has been blocked from using his abilities, as of late. Or at least, he seems to be suffering from using them. I don't think he would pose any actual threat to the mafia, unless they let their imaginations get carried away.
[...]
...Snake brought up the fact that Inaba was suspiciously nonchalant about the whole situation, but I don't think that a feeling is enough to go on. For now, we should try and keep an eye on her, see what happens.
To be honest, at this point I'm not terribly concerned about medical care. I have a feeling that the Staff aren't going to exactly let them help if someone is attacked by one of the monsters, anyways.
[...] But thank you for letting me know.
[Ripley runs a hand through her hair, frowning.] I know it might be a bit forward to ask this, and you aren't obligated to answer, but...do you have any role as a townsperson?

Were you one of the votes on her this weekend?
no subject
Yes. I wanted to avoid contributing to whatever majority existed, though I didn't think so many other people would vote for her. [...] Why?
no subject
[she pauses for a long time, and well... bites her lip for a moment, and then looks extremely crestfallen.]
I voted for the Medic.

Ripley doesn't respond at first, crossing her arms. After a few moments, she sighs, shaking her head.]
I suppose it won't do much good to ask for a reason, would it? He's already dead.

If you're concerned about medical care, while I'm not a doctor, I have a powerful healing ability.

Anything else that needs to be discussed, as of now?

[she offers a polite bow]
Thank you for speaking to me, Ripley-san.
