[Oh thank god Junpei isn't dumb. Tamamo immediately relaxes as her tails wag.]
It is straightforward enough, even though Polly-san was not able to tell me many details. That's what I have you for.
[So explain? Everything she must know? Sure, she'll have her audience tomorrow, but she does not feel like waiting that long]
I'm aware that Grune-san shares my role already... and is Edelgard-san the second? Polly-san was not able to be clear, I'm afraid. The limitations of her abilities are still in effect.
Thank god it's you and not someone else. Not that I don't trust the others, but...[He biased. There's an equally relieved grin. ]
Edelgard is the second. Grune can protect someone from being killed by a demon. Edelgard can save someone from dying during an exorcism. And you, I believe, can save someone if someone tries to go after them and kill them when they aren't possessed. If a normal person attempts to kill. You can do it once a week, but...it's the first person you sleep with. And you can't tell them that's why you're sleeping with them.
You might want clarity on all of that, but that's what I've figured out so far.
Make a wise choice, Tamamo. It's not easy. [...but he nods. ] I think I overdo my job, actually, but you're close enough. So I understand most of them now.
I actually don't know. I've been trying to figure it out but I have a feeling I won't until it's over. And maybe the reward is just knowing and getting everyone to focus.
...I'm going to call a meeting tomorrow for everyone so we know what's going on. All of us, non-roles, too.
Right, exactly. And with two weeks left...we have to be careful we don't dip below thirteen before the ritual. Not that the demon will listen, but if we can try to get something organized that's our best shot.
I mentioned it to him and he immediately volunteered. I get why, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. [He knows...some shit. And Kagachi told him to direct his energies elsewhere and he gets that, but still.]
Mmm. [A hum of agreement. Tamamo suspects Kagachi will have his way, should it come to that, but for now both she and Junpei can look on disapprovingly at their friend]
That would lower us to fifteen, then... I suppose if we assume a demon kills only one of us this week, we need only to capture the culprit, and then we should barely skate by with the required number for the ritual.
That's assuming we don't have another demon next week. The 50th day is still after murder night. We run the risk of losing too many people right before the end, but we also don't even know if that's the point. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

[Placing a hand to her head like she's got a migraine]
I honestly don't know what I expected.
[These roles are so much, and she just got one]
Though yes, I will make sure to clarify, though I trust your information to be accurate. I'm assuming that is what you're meant to do.
[Not that she knows for certain bc someone never told her their role but :/ She is a good, devoted wife and not here to be petty for once]

[Is she joking? It's... so hard to tell when she's pouting, but this is also Tamamo, resident fox queen of "Fuck you, got mine"]
Does this mean you know all of the roles now? Or are we still missing one?
no subject
[But there's a nod. ] You were the last one I needed, so I have all thirteen now.

[Head tilting a little]
Is there some sort of reward for completing your mission?

So thirteen with roles, and three without.
[Regardless of how you slice it, not many left]

I had hoped -- well. There are many things I had wished for him, but.
[A shrug. She doesn't know how much Junpei knows, and at least in regards to their shared acquaintance, Tamamo will hold her tongue]
Regardless, if he offers, that will take care of one death.

But if it comes to that. I'll keep it in mind.
