[...she has a point. If Kagachi died, well...they'd have to start over. But he shifts his weight from one foot to the other to let Kagachi answer instead.]
Trust me, I'd love to break the rules if I could, but I'm pretty sure I'm on thin ice as it is and I wouldn't be surprised if next time means death for me. [he shakes his head.] I have no problems with dying for a cause, but unless I have reason to think they'll fall under suspicion, info on this level isn't worth it just yet.
[though to throw them a bone—]
I can send an anonymous note to someone. I know I'm allowed to do that. Probably not either of you, since you'd know it's from me, but if you can find them, then that should be fine.
[anyhow,]
I know roles can transfer, but I don't know where you got the idea I inherited mine from Prompto.
Hmm! Then I suppose you’ve had this role since Polly and Carlos died, haven’t you?
[That’s all she has to say to that.]
If the rules prevent you from telling us, I certainly don’t want to cause you any risk. Nor should it get out widely. But I do need access to that information somehow.
You sent the notes to Junpei that allowed him to discover my role, didn’t you?
This is sort of why I wanted to close this gap. Seems like there's some misinformation going around and I, personally, would like to know why. Then again I'm also curious where you heard that Prompto might've had something to do with this. Not many people would've spoken to him about it, I think.
[He shakes his head though.] To prevent Kagachi from incriminating himself further, I'll answer that. If he did send the notes I found, they weren't what I used to find your role. That was my own deduction. Kinda curious if your notes are ones I've found though. A simple yes or no will work, you already know which ones I've seen.
Unfortunately, the reason I asked you that question is not something I can explain.
But to save some trouble, there’s not a person going around spreading rumors about Prompto, nor did I speak with him directly. I simply had a hunch about something, and wanted to see if I could resolve it.
Is the hunch that somebody can talk to the dead? Because I can answer that for you, too. [He looks at the sky.] I'd be interested in your hunch though, if that's where we're going with this.
That’s too bad, since I’ve already told you I can’t explain that. You’ll just have to give it a little thought, and if you guess correctly, I’ll tell you.
It has nothing to do with messages from the dead, however.
Wait. [Hm. Wait. Think back to what you know, Junpei.]
Yours is the one that's brand new because it transferred. [The coincidence is too much given it's exorcisms.] You obtained Escha's role after she died.
Huh. So that's good to have confirmation, then. [He looks relieved he doesn't have to worry about that.]
She told me...each week the Cockblocker role she had can protect one person from an exorcism. Can't be the same person twice in a row. Gotta sleep with them first each week to make the protection work. It won't work if they tell the person that's why they're sleeping with them. And you can't tell anyone your role.
That’s why I asked if you could tell me what you found. I think coordination makes sense.
[She shakes her head at Junpei though.]
Remember what I asked you earlier? Escha never actually successfully used her powers, did she? She never interrupted an exorcism. And neither have I, obviously.
I can double-check with the hosts to see what the rules are on this. Escha and I did a lot of things we weren't supposed to, so it's not necessarily a good idea to repeat the way I interacted with her.
Otherwise, it might be better to discuss beforehand who I should check, and if I don't come to see you immediately on Tuesday, you can assume it was a miss.
[though there's a very narrow ooc window of time,]

[thanks!!]
So, you're one of the Cockblockers, which means your role should be similar to Escha's. Potentially preventing death in some way each week?
no subject
It has nothing to do with messages from the dead, however.
And yes, you’d be right about that.

[But she nods at Kagachi.]
Does your role - let you choose someone, and determine whether they’re possessed?

I couldn’t say everything Escha told you about the role, so I don’t know whether it’s truly the same. But that has been my assumption.

So...that helps us, right?

There's something slightly different about your version of the rules?

I'm not certain how something works. I've been unable to obtain clarification and I find it very concerning.
I think that's a good idea.
no subject
I wonder...if the reason is because there's three of you and you just don't have enough power yet. [Just throwing that out there.]
