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?
[ she's been fishing for the role or roles that might have found her, but if they're under do not reveal orders, then that's a little hard to accomplish. ]
Depends on how much that vouching is worth, though.
[his tone is a bit wry. even if he had asked people to share who knew about their powers, he doubts that everyone would have been truthful about it. he doubts that it would have given them anything to go on at all]
Tsk. Well, if it's Lili, then she could have heard from at least half the camp.
[ so that's useless. but. ]
The glitter on his body...
[ she's been turning over what little they know about zenitsu and minako both, and this one thing... ]
Imagine this. Imagine that you are a killer, who knows who your target will be that night. You are prepared for a fight, and you know they have the ability to become invisible.
You take steps to mitigate that. Paint? That's heavy and slow. You might not be able to tag them in the dark, as they're moving, while you can't see them. A spray can? Maybe, but you have a different idea.
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 ░▓▒▓▓▓▒▓▓▒▒▒░░

Perhaps they passed the message on to someone.

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?
