[she'll keep it brief, it makes sense.]
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.

[Ripley nods, crossing her arms.]
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.

...Alright. Let's get started, then.
[Hmmmmmmm.]
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.

... I'm just wondering... The votes are also information we could use.
[she pauses for a long time, and well... bites her lip for a moment, and then looks extremely crestfallen.]
I voted for the Medic.
[and it's at this point she looks down, and closes her eyes, wrapping one arm around her waist.]

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?

[Ripley can be found standing in the doorway of her room, leaning against the door frame and staring towards Akira's door. There's a notebook in her hand as she watches the people walking down the hallways, occasionally scribbling something down. Ever since the ski area stopped...existing, though, not many people pass through anymore.
When she sees Makoto approaching, she inclines her head towards her.]
Good to see you.

[Makoto looks a little surprised to see her outside her door. She just stops, holding her pillow closely.]
Hi Ripley-san.
[a pause]
Are you... keeping watch for us?
[it's a little late-- Makoto knows she's pushing it but she wanted to test the oil for her trap one last time. in fact, there's a straight rod that's partially obscured by the pillow.]

[Ripley pauses, taking a moment to close her notebook and tuck her pencil behind her ear.]
Maybe. [Though her voice definitely sounds affirmative.] You having a sleepover with Akira tonight?
[She tilts her head to the side, looking towards the pillow.]
What've you got there?

[She tilts her head to the side, looking towards the pillow.]
What've you got there?
It's a tradition on Fridays at this point, and it's our best chance of surviving... [she sounds a little uncertain, and it flashes across her face. But only a flash, as Ripley's next question provides her a good pivot.]
Oh-- I asked the Staff to give me a UV stick. We're going to set up a trap and hope that that lets us catch the culprits. [she's pauses, and worries at her lip a bit.]
It should be only visible by UV light, so...

[Ripley nods, raising an eyebrow. She gets that. Safety in numbers and all.]
Smart. So the culprit doesn't even know that they've been marked until later, when it's revealed via UV light.
[...] You think it'll work? What with, um, the Staff acting strangely this week. They gave Snake a knock-off gun the other day.

[Ripley nods, tucking her notebook into her jacket pocket.]
Let's hope that we won't actually need it tonight. [But both she and Makoto know that won't be true.] If you don't mind me asking--did you set them up in Akira's room?
[If so, then maybe she can rest a little more easy tonight.]

I did. Or, well, I will. Before midnight, I'll set it up.
[they both know that the trap is probably going to be important for tomorrow. No matter of what they'd rather see, there's a high chance that, well...
Obviously, Ripley's keeping watch for a reason.]
