That's the problem, isn't it? Figuring out the value I have as a "piece" compared to the potential value of the information we can get, and whether the people still around will even be able to make use of it...

Still, it's not impossible, and that still means it's an option. I'll probably talk to you again when I make a decision, though. After all, the safest person to have the "trigger" would be someone outside the game.

[foundfate]

I may have an option available for that. However, it would take the power of a wish to do, and for that you would have to pay the price.

[aleph_armed]

[...Okay, first rule of business: Never agree to anything until you see the contract.]

I'd need to know what precisely the offer is, and the price.

[foundfate]

You have seen Mokona, yes?

[aleph_armed]

Ah, the... black, rabbit-like thing?

[foundfate]

Yes.

Mokona is not a part of this game. I suspect Nirrti brought him here as a one-off joke, to taunt me.

But since he is not a part of the game, he may be suitable for what you need.

[aleph_armed]

Ah, so I give the trigger to him, and then he can pass it to others... Makes sense so far. That still leaves the question of price, though.

[foundfate]

The price for a chance at a ruse...well. Mokona isn't the most reliable, so I cannot guarantee your success. It would essentially be a coin flip as to if it would work or not. That is the price: the certainty of your plan working.

[aleph_armed]

...I see. So I can reduce the chance of her catching on to the plan, but at the cost of adding a third gamble to the mix. It's... something to keep in mind, at least.

[foundfate]

[He nods.]

The offer is open as long as the game is going on, so take your time to consider it.

Ready to head back, or was there more you needed to say?

[aleph_armed]

...It's probably fine to head back now, though I do have to ask if that offer to explain your reasons for choosing the "pieces that have been taken out of play" is still open.

[foundfate]

Of course it is. Who are you curious to hear about?

[aleph_armed]

Akira and Shadow, mostly. Shadow does class as out of play now, right?

[foundfate]

Yes, he's out of play. He's also quite resourceful, and very antagonistic. I figured he would be good to annoy Nirrti with.

Akira-kun is a bit of a wild card. He defies expectations, so I thought he would be good as 'a wrench in the system', so to speak.

[He frowns after he says that, though.]

...I didn't anticipate him doing what he did, though.

[aleph_armed]

...Wait, isn't the entire point of the game to solve murders, though? Not expecting him to kill in a situation where someone has to kill every week seems a bit weird.

[foundfate]

Not that part. It was his victim that was a surprise.
