Hm. The restrictions have eased now that apparently everyone in camp knows, supposedly. So we can talk to each other if we have titles and can find each other as opposed to before, but.
[ wavy wobbly hand. ]
... My asking for the fingerprinting kit a few weeks ago wasn't just a lucky guess. And the things from home we got last week weren't entirely out of nowhere either.
Looser, perhaps, but I was told before this week about seeking out others with these assignments that I wouldn't be able to reveal myself regardless, nor would they be able to say much.
[ hm. which is why she hasn't bothered being more proactive about it until it became public knowledge, since why expend the effort when it wouldn't be useful anyway. ]
... items. Somewhat, but not entirely. The sports court that first week was me too.
[ anyway. well akira, go ahead and explain the obvious. ]
Mmm. It might've been different with Sanji, then. His role was to check people for other roles, after all.
[but she's also probably not wrong that the restrictions are looser now than they were before. it feels a bit. . . freer, and that's comforting]
What the hell did you do to the sports court? [a huff] I can protect one person each week. If the person I protect is targeted, I can intervene in the murder. Non-lethally, preferably, but my director can't guarantee that my non-lethal attempts will stay that way.
[ha ha]
[anyway Mauyn remember when you told me you hoped the doctor was wildly missing--]
Don't look at me. I don't get to know what will happen before it does unless I get a favorable result. Usually I just get to hear that it'll affect the camp, and be positive or negative.
[ guess what the sports court was! ]
And the level of control I have is variable in that regard, too. With the sports court I could limit the effects to a specific area, so I picked a non-essential one. Things like the trinkets I didn't have a say in.
I'm starting to think everyone got the wrong memories from me during that week if that has to be a question, which makes that even more irritating in retrospect.
I've been accused of being too much of a pragmatist, Akira. Never not enough of one. So, thanks for that; it's an interesting change of pace.
[ if only the dolls from her canon could see this now. ]
[ damn just because she vibes with [redacted] and is a gun doesn't mean she has a twitchy trigger finger. she kept deadstaring at people about gun safety, didn't she? ]
... Tomorrow, huh.
[ right time for her to trip off the mountain and smash her core processor to bits or something before that happens then, whoops. ]
Well, if you're not going to explain that. What were you saying before about things making sense, hm?
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: 2020-07-14 08:58 pm (UTC)The restrictions were always loose between two people with roles. I. . . knew about Sanji, for instance.
[and he hasn't been able to say SHIT about Sanji to ANYONE and it has been KILLING HIM]
So your role is items. . . aha.
That actually makes sense.

[she felt that from him during the emotion share. he was comforted by her own rage]
But if-- if allying with. . . the people or person who killed them would help bring them back, along with everyone else who died. . .
You'd do it. Right? For. . . the greater good?
