[ she laughs a little. it's not light like her usual ones, and it isn't even pretending to be kind or gentle... which is quite at odds with her usual, soft smile. ]
Perhaps not, but we were more of a unified force then as well.
[ business wise, she's going to get something out of the way immediately. ]
So. Did you know about the existence of roles before Taako went and told all of us?
[also when he speaks, it sounds like he's parroting something back to 45 directly]
"You are required to select three campers to assist with special tasks. It is your responsibility to ensure they carry out their assignments as needed."
There wasn't any further information about them available in the rulebook he found.
Three each. Shinobu and Sanji are apparently confirmed, if we believe Yasusada. ... We don't know if the responsibility jumps after one is killed, do we?
[ sighs. ]
Well, whatever.
[ ... it seems like there was something else she was going to say, but. ]
Doubtful. [ but she hums, mildly, and: ] What I believe I can tell you is that there is someone out there who knows my team without me having said anything to anyone, and this was before I told you... or anyone else.
[ it shouldn't be doxxing anyone. ]
They claim to have received a note no one else can read.
Beau received a note some time last week with my team on it, she says. We both came to the conclusion they probably can't reveal themselves regardless.
[ ... ]
That said, I have to wonder if they know about my ability as well. I've told no one because I thought it one of those abilities that would be better the fewer people know about it.
Not necessarily- I don't think there was enough reason to look at me for any of the events this week, and I had... perhaps at least one method of defending myself- but it would have put me in an awkward position all the same.
I couldn't say. What I can tell you, instead, is...
I am the Oculus, Akira. I can take on the appearance of someone I've seen. And as of last week, my plush allows me to turn my outfit into solid steel for six hours.
[ she could have played distraction; she could have been a decoy. ]
I am not unaccustomed to fighting for that long, and even if I cannot use my gun here, I can, at least, work to defend myself, or leave marks on anyone responsible.
[a-- ah. his eyes widen in a bit of surprise, mouth falling open. but it all makes sense to him, and when his shock subsides, he speaks with a small nod]
Ah. . . I see why you haven't told anyone about your power or your title yet.
[ so, there it is, out in the open. akira now knows. there is the potential for other parties out there to know, too, depending on who it was that found her out and how. ]
Haha. But it does leave me in a bad place when we start discussing titles and abilities, doesn't it?
A squad shrouded in mystery. ▓▓▓▓▒ has met them once, and others can only guess at the members' identities from rumors. Members of the squad all have advanced AI and high capacity for independent operation. Rumor has it that Squad 404 usually deals with ░▓▒▓▓▓▒▓▓▒▒▒░░

Date: 2020-07-12 03:29 am (UTC)[there's a light. . . note of frustration in his voice as he says that]
So why do Magnus and Taako know? I know Shinobu killed Yu, but how do they know she had a role? How do they know Sanji did?
[. . .]
[he also opens his mouth to say something else before he just. clicks it shut and looks away, frustration washing over his expression]

Date: 2020-07-12 03:33 am (UTC)Hypothetically, if we treat things like with the professors from the mansion, there's a role out there that can identify others.
Perhaps they passed the message on to someone.
no subject
Date: 2020-07-12 03:38 am (UTC)[a. . . very tired grumble]
Assuming they could even talk about it with other people if they identified another role in the first place.
With how secretive this stupid game is, it wouldn't surprise me if they couldn't.

Did she show you the note?
[and as for the next part]
. . . and I don't know. Maybe it's something where they can only see teams, titles, and extraneous roles, if someone has them?
no subject
