[Week 5, Tuesday: Hikage]

[doublecrows]

[Akechi's been quiet over the past week. of course he has; there hasn't been much excitement in the castle ever since the last trial. but things are ramping up again, and on this fine Tuesday, he tracks Hikage down wherever he may be in the manor]

Hikage-san. I certainly hope your vacation was satisfactory.

[ he clicks his tongue. greedy akechi... ]

That's all you're getting. You're a detective, so you figure the rest out.

[doublecrows]

[greedy Akechi wants to know!1]

. . . you aren't a Historian.

[he says that matter of factly]

And you claim to not be an Editor.

Vizier, then.

[psychedelica]

You're still wrong.

[ he smiles, faintly. ]

No one's mentioned my role yet.

[doublecrows]

[I KNOW WHAT IT IS NOW!!]

[but Akechi would not, unfortunately. so he just scowls again, gaze narrowing]

Then, if I correctly guess it, will you tell me?

[psychedelica]

Fine. When that time comes, you'll tell me what the Vizier is in return.

[ his role is useless, anyway... he may as well get information in exchange for sharing it. ]

[doublecrows]

Very well. So long as you tell me what your role entails in return.

[QUID PRO QUO!!]

We'll speak again later this week.
