... I will admit, I had not considered that possibility.
[Folding her hands against themselves]
That could potentially complicate matters if true, but for now let us say there are at least twelve among us with a role. It's easier to assume we'd need to hunt down a larger number and overcompensate, than narrow our scope prematurely.

I do not know if Escha-san's death will affect them or no, but her role was to protect one person per week at her discretion.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 08:49 pm (UTC)Who was she protecting that week?
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 09:18 pm (UTC)It was me.

You are aware it's not your fault?
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 09:56 pm (UTC)[but it's possible]
And I'm aware.
[even still, her expression is a little worn. Someone had a rougher week than she let on]
... regardless, there will be no protection offered to any of us in the upcoming weeks.

What do we know about roles so far, really?

Might as well clear something up -- humour me: you have a role, yes?
[ there's a pause and then he adds. ]
But here's another thought for you: how many roles, or people with a single role, do you think there are out there?

The number I heard tossed around was thirteen -- twelve, now that Escha-san is no longer with us.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 10:35 pm (UTC)And you think none of those roles overlap.

Date: 2019-10-31 10:50 pm (UTC)... And there's the chance that a number of those roles have already died.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 11:00 pm (UTC)And besides, those with roles cannot speak of it, I have heard. There's a specific way you must go about asking, but I've yet to discover the method.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 11:03 pm (UTC)That's always the way, here. Have you spoken to the hosts at all? Ask the right questions, in the right way, and it makes things easier. To a point.

The firefighter? Did he ever explain why he's hanging around in a hospital?

She doesn't look particularly sorry to admit it, either]

But it is not my place to dredge up ugly memories unannounced. I know it is hard to imagine, but I do on occasion have tact.

... That's my advice though. Ask the right questions of people, and maybe you will get some answers.
