[HI BELPH]

[there's a ~spooky~ detective hanging out in the shadows calling out your name this evening]

Belph-san.

[hi :)]

[doublecrows]

. . . aha.

[huh]

I know what the Shield title does. What of Alchemist? I have yet to hear that one.

[axilium]

[he just shrugs!!]

Doesn't sound like a villain-eliminating role, at least.

[doublecrows]

No. Not on its face.

But what about an ink manipulating role?

[axilium]

Mm... I have a vague idea of what the role does, to be honest, and it doesn't have anything to do with ink.

[he shrugs.]

I can't actually explain what it does, since I don't understand it well enough, but it's not a game-changing one.

[doublecrows]

[huh. . .]

Then perhaps I'm wrong.

[wouldn't be the first time, and he doesn't seem bothered by it]

But I do believe people should be aware that they need to choose their victims more carefully.

[axilium]

For that to happen, though, we'd have to out everyone's factions.

[doublecrows]

Not necessarily. By now, all of us probably know quite a few titles and to whom they belong. We'd simply have to ask that any future murderers be. . . conscientious, about their victim choices.

[axilium]

... Not everyone knows about the various endings, though. Unless you intend to rectify that...?

[doublecrows]

I do. Or rather, I intend to share this letter with everyone at the trial tomorrow.

[ah. . . let him clarify]

In a sense, anyway. I'm prohibited from sharing my extra role with the public, so it isn't as though I can hand this letter out to everyone myself.

As such, I've given it to someone else, who intends to disseminate the contents without revealing my role in any of this.

[aka i'm oocly gone tomorrow so someone else is gonna share this letter for me weeps]

[axilium]

Is that right? Guess I'll look forward to the party.

[doublecrows]

[a smile. one of his confident, knowing smiles]

I certainly hope the message gets across.

[axilium]

... That reminds me. While the jury's still out on whether to aim for it or not, Dragon's ending also requires that at least seven objectives from each faction be completed. Did you know that?

[doublecrows]

[. . . . . . . . .]







No.

[HONESTLY HE'S LIKE THE FUCKIN' WORST HISTORIAN]

[axilium]

[i mean the worst historian is probably sousei for being fuckin dead]

... Well, that's a thing! Anyway, since you've been helping people complete their objectives, you wouldn't happen to have a rough idea of how many we have from each faction, would you?

[doublecrows]

[I MEAN TRUE]

I actually may be able to give you a rough count. One moment--

[he pulls his NOTE PARCHMENT out of his jacket and scans it]

For the hero faction, I know of four objectives completed. For the civilians, I know of five. And for the villain faction, I know of two. My comrades likely know of others; I could easily get that number from them at our next meeting.

[axilium]

If you could, that'd be cool.

[doublecrows]

Of course. And I'll report same to you when I have more concrete numbers.

[axilium]

All right, thanks.

[doublecrows]

. . . if I may ask, how did you get the information regarding the required number of completed objectives?

[axilium]

I did a good enough job with my role.

[doublecrows]

[GOD]

I suppose we're just not asking the right questions.

[I mean, last week Akechi used his "did a good job and helped complete an objective" reward on trying to solve the previous murder, sssso]
