Shiraishi. [The most exhausted look in the universe follows this statement.] Dick got some more information out of him when he talked to him, but I have a meeting with him Monday morning before he meets with his host.

[preceptive]

... Good luck with him.

[crashout]

I'll need it. He's...tricky but it should be fine.

So we're still missing one of the Booty Callers, one of the Sugar Daddys and one of the Cockblockers. I really hate these names. [...though.] And we still have no idea what the hell happened with Dimitri.

But I learned something interesting. Did you ever get to talk to Tamamo, Izuminokami or Grune about what happened when they broke into the security office?

[preceptive]

[he nods.]

I've spoken with them.

[crashout]

Then you already made the connection I did? With the vision they saw.

[preceptive]

You're going to have to be more specific on what you mean by connection.

[crashout]

A week ago they had a vision split into three parts. A man who was drowned in a fountain, a woman who brought him to the ritual circle to try and revive him, and another woman who killed the first one to summon something demonic.

Compare it to a scuffle in the fountain that ended in the ritual circle and the elimination, or birth, of something demonic. The journal entry Izuminokami showed me was dated for day twenty, which was the same day they broke in and Tamamo's arm was dislocated just like the notes mention. Things are starting to line up a little too well.

[preceptive]

[tbh i still don't know if kanesan showed kagachi the journal because last week he said he would but i still haven't seen it

so]

Remind me what was in the journal again?

[crashout]

Uh. There were two entries and a lot of it was blanked out and damaged but it was something like...day 20. Spoke to...a list of names, including one that starts with an M and one that starts with an NE and ends in A. Did not find the....something shoes. "Task still pending for A. Where the fuck am I going." Most of the other sentences are illegible. Something about M and something about someone being a moron who can't stop breaking into places. "This is the last time I pop his arm back into socket."

Day 49 was...I'm sorry, repeatedly, sometimes in all caps. Why aren't I dead why, why, why, why...there was also "I want to" before that and I assume it's along the lines of "I want to die." So that's cheerful.

[preceptive]

... So we know that things had likely reached their end around Day 49—at least, that was when the journal author fell into despair.

We're on about Day 27. That's not so far off.

[crashout]

You can see exactly why I'm concerned about finding the rest of our roles and figuring out what to do.

[...suddenly, something occurs to him.] The first broadcast that Beck, Higekiri and I heard mentioned the number dropped from thirty-three to twelve in four weeks. If there's thirteen roles, that might've been why the first group failed. They ran out of roles to fight back. And thinking about it now, that broadcast must've come right before the one you heard. It talked about going to talk to "C" too.

[preceptive]

Why are the roles so important, though? I don't see yet how every single one of them would be needed to fight back.

[crashout]

No idea, but we can't exactly deny it's a possibility. We ended up being able to use our own role abilities better when it was all four of us on Tuesday didn't we?

[preceptive]

Did we? Mine didn't change at all.

[crashout]

When I checked Taako the first time, I couldn't hear anything about what his title was. But checking Edelgard gave me a clear reading. It's the only thing I can think of.

Also Chuuya told me there were some things I didn't have enough power for yet. I thought it might've been that.

[preceptive]

That's something, at least. Maybe Taako and Haymitch's provided more info than usual as well.

[but yeah, his was the same, probably because he's a failure whoops]

[crashout]

I'd have to ask.

[...] Speaking of Haymitch...he came to see me last night. He and Katy found the gym.

[preceptive]

Did he explain the explosion?

[crashout]

That was them blowing the door open with a gas canister.

[preceptive]

... Well, if it got the job done.

[crashout]

For the most part. They got into the gym, the TV was on playing a PSA but both of them saw it as though it was someone they knew from home delivering the message. Katy destroyed the TV, but then all of the others turned on and these humanoid creatures without faces came crawling out and strapped them to exercise equipment for a torture workout. Haymitch got stabbed in the leg. Katy's throat got burned up. But after that, they just disappeared and let them leave the room.

[So. That's nice.] ...it's possible whatever was in that room got to Dimitri and possessed him or killed him. The timing works.

[preceptive]

[haha

this is the part where jan shrugs over timelines]

... Ah. No, Dimitri was possessed by Monday at latest.

[crashout]

[...haha. Great.]

And we just missed it in the pick. [Isn't that how it goes?] I'm still stuck on how someone else knew.

[preceptive]

... Because the info was given to him as part of his role.

[crashout]

[....

....

????

....

!!!]

The hell does his role actually encompass? [Wait.] Wait we're talking about the same person, right? The one we both talked to today.
