[ he nods. Inwardly, he's thankful that Lili doesn't immediately harp on him for his lack of enthusiasm towards solving the murders, too - she's probably the only one that hasn't. She really is practical, this girl. He respects a sharp mind. ]
I had the same thought. In our castle, the killing role was assigned each week. Knowing whether or not that was the case here would simplify the trials.
[ they wouldn't need to bother thinking about motives, for one. ]
[she's pretty sure that the reason for wanting to solve the murders speaks for itself, and is hoping that reminding him of them is going to be enough? don't be unenthused otherwise -
also, she probably would've been angrier last week. but this week is fine.]
Assigned, huh... How did they ensure cooperation? Coercion? Bribery? Or would they be removed entirely if they didn't comply?
... Well, I don't know the details. [ he'll admit this. He was wrapped up in a lot of personal issues... even now, he doesn't really care about the truth of that place. He doesn't care here, either, but he doesn't think they'll succeed if he doesn't try a little. Unlike last time, he has a reason to fight now. ] But they would grant any wish you desired if you fulfilled tasks for them. Killing was just another task they could give you.
[ that's his understanding, anyway. ]
They were threatening all of us with the destruction of our homes, too, if people needed extra convincing.
Well, I can see that providing an incentive here, even though I would hope that people aren't cowardly enough to take it that they'll betray the rest of us.
We're going to find out tomorrow, since the three in charge couldn't tell me before whether this would happen because of an accident or... what.
[ he'd kill anyone here for his sister but he knows better than to say that out loud... regardless, even though that comment annoys him, he continues. ]
Those three essentially won't tell me anything. They're patronizing about every question I ask. I'm not surprised.
[ . . . there kind of is, she thinks. because she often believes it's a lie, and she thinks that wanting something as dumb as a wish to the point that you'd sacrifice other people...
oh well, she'll let it go.]
Winter can be hard to talk to, but Black Shadows doesn't mince words and Purple Heart is actually where I get a lot of my information from.
[yea who you do or don't like isn't her problem, hikage. but she shrugs a bit.]
Depends on what you mean by self-aware... but they're at least somewhat endearing. They'll give you pretty much anything you ask, so long as it's not a weapon or something they're off-limits from saying.

[ he ticked Hikage off in week 0 and Hikage hasn't talked to him since because he's petty and distrustful... ]
... I'll try Black Shadows next, then. [ he shakes his head. ] Hopefully, that one is more self-aware.

Right. "Off limits."
