(Likewise, Claude is quiet but unsurprised. He closes his eyes and takes one, slow breath in and out, and places both hands on his hips, looking down slightly,)
... I'm inclined to believe you for now. (He has his hunches,) It seems someone asked Virid to kill, too and I don't know what happened on last week but Hilda wasn't expecting another murder, either. Either Rabbit's out for blood or there are others making their moves, too. Following that pattern, it's natural to assume others might be tasked with the same.
We collect nova during the week, from those tasks and then we collect it again on Saturday. Was it the same this week as well?
Last week... I suspect that what people theorized was the truth--that someone, maybe even the victim herself, was out to regain an important memory via the quickest method they had learned of.
[ though fox's frown probably makes it clear what they think about that.
they nod. ]
Yes. That hasn't changed, even with all the killing.
It's the most obvious and it makes sense. It's easy to forget in a place this convoluted that not everything has to be complicated.
(Definitely something to remember in the future,)
I thought maybe it went up because we caught the right person the first week but we failed to catch either this past week. Working together and voting seems to be the only other answer.
It doesn't explain everything and there are other factors consider but you went down in the ranks. Is it possible... or rather, could you tell me, if our team has gotten smaller?
(It would make sense. If a team loses members, they'll collect less nova.)
With six people dead, it's possible for each team to have lost someone but it's also possible that another team or two could have taken another hit.
Of course. (He's not surprised and he doesn't sound surprised. He hadn't had his hopes up considering most answers seem to be off limits,) Perhaps not freely but you could under the right conditions...
(...)
What are the chances I could do something for you to get more information?
If there is, it doesn't lie with me. My apologies.
[ hm. ]
Most of you could legally attend a drinking party, although a few of you in particular might enjoy it more than the others. [ a beat. ] You don't have to look very far either, though this hint doesn't overlap with the previous one I gave you.
(ONCE AGAIN... there's only a few names that jump out at him and one in particular.)
... I think I'm starting to sense a pattern here.
Thank you.
And you know, next time, we should meet over some tea or something. We've met enough times, I think we're overdue for a date and getting to really know each other.

Unfortunately, I can't do that freely. Though, it's certainly possible that one team might've taken more hits than others.

If you're offering, I'm not going to refuse. (Which is a yes, of course, he's thirsty for information 24/7.) Tell me what you've got, Fox.

Getting closer.

We're getting up there though, aren't we... 29.

That was fun. You'll have to give me another challenge like that.
