[namelessfighter]

...Probably.

[ a shrug. ]

I thought it would be a waste of time to check on the others, so I didn't.

[crashout]

You're probably not wrong. [Sure.] You have a meeting with one of our hosts. Most likely one who's on the other side.

[namelessfighter]

Mm... You're half-right.

[crashout]

[Ghost notes...]

Nathan.

[namelessfighter]

[ his nose wrinkles, but he's not saying no. ]

And...?

[crashout]

...Carlos. [He has a 50/50 shot, but like. It makes some sense for reasons.]

[namelessfighter]

No.

[crashout]

[....]

You got both of the difficult ones? [You poor sword.] But I guess that makes sense. The one who can talk to ghosts, and the ghost herself.

[namelessfighter]

[ this time, he'll laugh. ]

No, actually.

[crashout]

Oh. Wait why do you get both? [God whatever.] Never mind.

Your messages are meant to help us figure out the past game.

[namelessfighter]

That, I don't know. But given what you found from the last one...

[ he just. shrugs again. ]

[crashout]

Did you add up the numbers from the second note?

[namelessfighter]

Yes. Thirteen.

[crashout]

Thirteen roles. The roles can transfer between us when we die, just like the hydra. It was because of the information Higekiri's group brought back that I knew how many there might be. This note proves it.

Is your title a word you've ever heard before?

[namelessfighter]

That's news to me. [ but he's smiling. ] Good. That means if something happens to one of us, you won't lose anything.

[ at the question, he hums thoughtfully. ]

...Yes.

[crashout]

Well we'll lose the person which is rather avoid. It was a theory we had but Dick got some information from a break-in to confirm it.

[The fuck.] Is it one of the words I wrote down already? [Which like. Would only be cheater. But.]

[namelessfighter]

Obviously we don't want to lose anyone. But given the situation, it could easily happen to any of us, role or no role.

And no, it isn't.

[ does he look like a sword who knows what a camgirl is ]

[crashout]

Given that any of us can be possessed even with a role? I know.

[Ugh.] Is it something you've had experience with before? Like a term you'd apply to yourself previously.

[namelessfighter]

[ kanesan tilts his head. ]

Not with how I'm familiar with it, but knowing this place, there's another meaning to the title that I don't know.

[crashout]

...puzzling. [He hums to himself.] Does your role affect only you? Or other people, too?

[namelessfighter]

[ his eyes flick to the code for a quick moment, and back to junpei. ]

Don't you think you can answer that for yourself?

[crashout]

I can but I'm learning that you can't always trust what the roles seem to do. [...] You're likely getting your next note on Friday. Will you share it with me?

[Nothing to do with the role he's just asking. ]

[namelessfighter]

I can share it with you now.

[ and from his kimono, he'll pull a short, typewritten note to hand over, reading:

Play a part on stage
and you won't be alone, there
are more of your own ]

[crashout]

[Squinting.]

Is it my imagination or can I read this one myself? You didn't rewrite this did you?

[namelessfighter]

If that's what my handwriting looks like to you, then maybe I should work on my calligraphy more, after all. My brother would be offended.

[ hmph. ]

I never copied this one down.
