[how's it going Akechi.

Jae-ha is honestly on a mission to find an escape out of this castle but first - ]

Mr. Detective!

A moment?

[alttitude]

That would make sense - to determine who gets to have control of a story.

[doublecrows]

That's correct. Neither of us were able to come to a conclusion as to how the factions play into the game's rules, of course. I have heard the theory from someone else that for one faction to "win" this game, they must eliminate the others, but I don't know how true that is.

My supposition is that it has less to do with the weekly homicides, and more to do with our objectives.

[alttitude]

Ah - the ones that were assigned to us, along with those annoying titles?

[He hums softly, and then presses - ]

They want them to be completed... is that it.

[doublecrows]

I have no way of confirming this, beyond asking them directly, of course. But their limited availability makes that difficult.

But considering the intense focus on "stories" and "narratives" as a theme of this game, and considering how the completion of objectives "completes" a narrative, I believe my hypothesis to be correct.

[alttitude]

And what do you plan to do with this information then, Mr. Detective? Use your personal kindness to tip everyone toward completing the goals left outlined for them?

[doublecrows]

[I mean. yes]

[but he just chuckles]

No, not exactly. I highly doubt I have that much influence over people here. But I'd like to share my theories with everyone I can, to at least hear their thoughts on the manner.

[alttitude]

Charisma goes a long way.

[But Jae-ha considers his and - ]

... the goal they outlined for me isn't a bad one. I'd just need more time to be able to fulfill it. Perhaps a bit of luck, and then some desperation.

[doublecrows]

[. . . the briefest of hesitations, and--]

Well, if you'd like some assistance, you know where to find me. But that is up to your discretion, of course. I wouldn't ask you to share something so secretive with me if you didn't feel comfortable with it.

[alttitude]

[A happy little hum.]

Well - the same to you, Mr. Detective. If you need any help and think that I'd be of any use, feel free to ask.

[doublecrows]

Naturally. And I do appreciate the offer for assistance.

. . . good luck tomorrow as well, Jae-Ha-san.
