crashout | KAGACHI;

[If he's startled by the question he doesn't say so, but there's a curious sort of pause.]

Have you seen me? [He holds up one of his arms.] Not exactly in a position to say no. Let me guess. Do this and you'll get a favor or information from one of our hosts?

Got it in one.

Good to know. How many people have you asked so far? And what's the favor anyway?

Beck, Grune, and Tamamo have agreed, although this week isn't a great time to start. [because... yeah.] I'm going to try Shiraishi as well. Dick suggested Escha, as long as training her in different styles than what she's used to counts.

I asked for info.

[Those are names he'd consider, too, so there's a nod of approval. ]

Definitely a bad week for this. If Shiraishi doesn't work out, you can try Katy? She might be learning somewhere but it doesn't hurt to try different styles.

We could use all the info we can get around here.

Yeah, I heard about her as an option. I don't know her well, though that's apparently ideal for this.

I assume you know about Dick's task?

Perfect time to be more sociable. [He's maybe joking just a little but also it's not a bad way to make contacts. It's a good task for Kagachi in particular.] She's pretty easy to get along with anyway.

[He blanches a bit at the mention of Dick's task.] You mean finding five people to sleep with our hosts? Yeah, he told us. Unless there's something new?

Nope, that's it. I don't know how he's going to get that done.

If he can get them there, the hosts might be able to help convince people. [He looks to the sky.] Nathan told me that if we sleep with them, they can start giving us more information.

So it goes. The worst part is that Nathan might actually be more helpful for the info we want, since only he gets ghosts in his head.

I had the same thought, too. [He rubs the back of his head.] I don't really like the idea of people using our hosts that way for information, but whatever it takes. I'm working on Nathan myself, but the guy's got a few sore points to work through.

Polly's the other one who might be good, especially since this is her fault to start with and she is a ghost.

I don't hear a lot of good things about Nathan.

... Maybe I'll try Polly as a last resort.

He's difficult. And annoying. But I kind of get where he's coming from in a weird way. I think people ignoring him's bothering him more than he'll admit, so...[A shrug.] I'll see what I can do.

If you hear anything from Polly, let me know? Maybe you'll get better results because you don't want to kill her. [People who're still kind of mad at Polly: Junpei Tenmyouji.]

... Yeah, probably. Still mad?

A little. [He sounds, like, slightly apologetic but not really.] Carlos and I didn't play the game just for him to die here, and now it's really kind of annoying that the only way to talk to him is to summon him whenever he has time and play guessing games around their censors.

Understandable.

[A shrug.] Either way, it'd be better if it wasn't me and I'll work on Nathan since most people can't handle it.

I plan on contacting Nathan anyway, but I guess I can see about Polly.

Good. [He seems satisfied with that.] ...they seem pretty bored over on that end, so might not be a bad idea to bring them a present or a bribe or whatever. There's a lot of stuff in the shop they might be fine with.

I don't exactly have a lot of money to buy things with, but I'll see what I can do.

[It doesn't surprise him given what kind of person Kagachi is, but he does frown lightly.]

...you're covered for the week, right? In terms of survival.

I took care of it.

Okay. Good. [Thank god? Let's not lose Kagachi this early.] ...this never gets any less awkward, but if you're, like, ever not or if you need cash let me know?

[Please kill him. But also, it's an offer he makes to alliances he wants to keep around. Sometimes you have to do things to get to where you need to go.]

[well, kagachi can get that, as someone who offered to pick up the slack after dick if dick ever found himself unable to, because tbh a life is worth far more than his comfort, but

yeah

it's still awkward.]

I'll keep that in mind.

Right. [Hm. Well. Haha, that was. A lot.] Anything else to cover for today?
