[Week 6, Thursday: Nico]

[he imagines Nico is still reeling from Reyna's presence yesterday, but. . . well. some questions must be asked]

[and so, wherever Nico may be this fine Thursday afternoon, Akechi seeks him out]

Di Angelo? A moment, if you will?

[Point.]

I suppose that explains why it's you guys specifically. [Dragon's ending though...give him a moment.] ...if we keep wiping out numbers of the villain faction, no. Our kills have to be more strategic.

...but doesn't that mean killing more heroes and civilians?

[. . . hm]

You're clever to have picked up on that.

[Is it cleverness? He's not so sure. But...]

Then what do you suggest we do for people who are picked to be weekly killers? Track them down and pick the victim for them?

That is a thought, far easier said than done. Perhaps we could send a letter to the public requesting any Blotters seek out a Historian to check factions before they choose their villain.

That would, of course, require them to trust us.

...the last time I infiltrated a region that would have gotten me killed, I had to keep everything to myself and work with them to build enough trust. It took a few months and lying to a handful of people before explaining my motives. Since we don't have time for that, I'll ask you this. Do you think people trust the Historians individually without knowing you guys are Historians?

[...Akechi's a murderer so like. ??? And he knows who he does and doesn't trust here, so double ????]

[. . . I mean. . .]

I think I could count the number of people who trust me as an individual on one hand.

That's what I thought. [This is what happens when you kill people Akechi =\] And the others?

El Melloi seems to carry some respect. The other two. . . it's more difficult to say. But I do believe the manor as a whole would easily fall behind at least one of them.
