...Is it something you could ask our hosts about, then? You've been meeting with them about it, haven't you?

[preceptive]

When I asked about Dimitri yesterday, they weren't allowed to say anything. It might be different now that I know you did it, and I'll try regardless.

[namelessfighter]

They should be able to tell you about things relating to your own role... Maybe it's because Dimitri was already exorcised?

I don't know enough to try to help with this, but if the others are learning things from the same role, they should be able to help you figure it out. You've asked them, right?

[preceptive]

This is going to be inconvenient if I have to ask you every Monday if you've received an exorcism directive.

... I think you're making a false assumption here—one I initially made. Same role doesn't mean same function.

[also]

Your title isn't anything like Copycat or Cheater, is it?

[namelessfighter]

...Oh. I didn't think of that. But then, why call them the same role?

But no, neither of those.

[preceptive]

[jan knows no other words that start with c and have seven letters. damn.]

Beats me.

Would you say your role is fairly consistent in what you have to do... well, exorcisms aside?

[namelessfighter]

[ hm... ]

Overall, yes, but the details are not.

[preceptive]

So they change each week, or...?

[namelessfighter]

[ he nods! ]

[preceptive]

But the general nature doesn't change...

Well, if nothing else, this explains why your notes seemed nothing alike.

[namelessfighter]

Ah... But it does seem like they're related, in a way. Like they've been hinting about others with roles.

I had suspected it already. The code Junpei solved and the last one I received both seem to confirm it.

[preceptive]

But you said your function wasn't to uncover secrets, so your role isn't to find others with roles, necessarily?

[namelessfighter]

Not necessarily, no. My role can be performed alone just fine, or there would probably be more.

[ shrug. ]

And the notes aren't necessarily a primary function of it, either.

[preceptive]

So you've said. Was receiving notes your choice, or is it just a coincidence that's usually been your reward for your tasks?

[namelessfighter]

A coincidence. I wasn't told what the rewards would be.

[preceptive]

Do you choose the nature of the reward each week?

[namelessfighter]

No, I have no part in that. They've just appeared soon after being earned.

[preceptive]

But you understand the purpose of your role, based off your rulebook...?

[namelessfighter]

Between that and what I've been told by our hosts, yes.

[preceptive]

... I still have no clue what it is.

[namelessfighter]

[ ahaha. he wants to come out and say it, but!! instead he'll rub the back of his neck. ]

If it helps, Junpei did call my role something of a wildcard, and he is not wrong as far as that goes. My purpose doesn't change, but what I do for it does.

[preceptive]

Sounds like a useful role.

[namelessfighter]

It appears to be designed that way, yes. It's a lot like my place as a sword - we are, after all, meant to be used.

[preceptive]

... You all really love to bring that up, huh? Even though humans are capable of using one another as well.

[namelessfighter]

[ shrug. ]

It is the purpose that we were made for. It's true that humans can use each other, too, but it's different in that they are not made as tools like we are... even if that's what some may become, in the end.
