I know you're really into making friends with the locals, and sure, you do you. But people here are gonna be suspicious of them and see the parts that don't add up. Whether that's malicious or not.
[he doesn't mind if people aren't suspicious, it's just. . .]
We're not getting murdered just so they can avoid physical injury. You think something worse won't happen to them-- or one of us-- if they open up too quickly?
You don't have to trust them, but it's unfair to say they're refusing to talk just to avoid getting their hands stabbed.
[when they have already seen that it's way more than that]
[SO TAKE THAT. anyway the paper is a note! on it is written: You're heading in the right direction. there are also some little blob bunny doodles hopping in a row beneath the words]
And I don't know. It could be? I just don't know what it's referring to.
[forward-dated PCs actually kill that theory, but unfortunately this is Tuesday, so. . .]
Mmm. I've talked to a few other people about it, but. . . I've heard a counter-theory that makes way more sense. And I don't think anyone I've talked to about it would send me a note if I was right.
We didn't do a great job of piecing it together though, huh? Might work in our favour if we assume the footprints are fake and don't focus on them with tunnel vision for six hours.
Well, I've been talking to people about the camp itself, about Pinkie, about the directors. . . but I don't feel like any information I've shared with people is different than what the directors wrote for us on the whiteboard.

no, actually. he doesn't think it is, really. ]

no subject
No, you're right. I don't have to trust them.
[ so he doesn't think he will. ]
no subject
[reaching into his pocket to pull out ??? a piece of paper??]
But at least trust me.
no subject
You've got a whole other game behind you, you're fine.
no subject
[doofus!! anyway, he hands him the paper]
You don't know anyone passing around anonymous notes, do you?
no subject
[ he takes the paper! ]
No.
Do you mean as a special job like your girl and the detective did?
no subject
It's my poor decision, thanks.

When did you get this?
no subject
. . . I wish people passing around notes could just do so without being vague.
no subject
[ .... ]
Have you been kinda... not openly, but looking into what you mentioned to me the other day?
no subject
[forward-dated PCs actually kill that theory, but unfortunately this is Tuesday, so. . .]
Mmm. I've talked to a few other people about it, but. . . I've heard a counter-theory that makes way more sense. And I don't think anyone I've talked to about it would send me a note if I was right.
no subject
What sort of counter-theory?
...
Maybe it's just telling you to keep cosying up to the NPCs so they'll share more stuff with you?
no subject
Is my friendship with them that obvious. . . [ANYWAY]
Anyway, I can't say too much about the reasoning behind this theory, but. . . someone thinks a member of Black Shadows killed Yu.
no subject
[ ANYWAY INDEED. ]
... Which means Lili's not on that team then. You have some idea of who is, or is it just a case of narrowing it down now?
no subject
[he admits with a slightly wrinkled expression, but anyway]
But someone believes that several members of Shadows' team may have had a way to fake the footprints we thought belonged to Ogata.
no subject
So... basically, we can't trust anything. Especially not footprints.
no subject
[TRUST NONE FOOTPRINT]
no subject
[ sigh ]
no subject
[they had. . . the dagger? the marks in the kitchen? the shoes. . .?]
no subject
We didn't do a great job of piecing it together though, huh? Might work in our favour if we assume the footprints are fake and don't focus on them with tunnel vision for six hours.
no subject
Yeah. We'll have to shift our focus elsewhere.
. . . at any rate, this note is definitely not talking about my theories for who killed Yu.
[but he still has no idea what it is talking about?? help]
no subject
[ he knows you, akira. he knows you. ]

no subject
Maybe cosying up to the directors is what you're doing great with then?
