[open broadcast for Investigators]

[unabatedly]

Now that we've been released, let's speak on where we are and what is going on.

For those of you new to our numbers, this is a Jaunt. We are brought to a particular world and given a task. What that task is...none can say. But it will be more apparent in time, and then we can take action.

[A pause, almost a sigh.]

However, we have to focus on a few things first, such as food and shelter, and finding our way around the city. We'll need to begin our search as soon as possible. Has anyone found anything suitable for us to use in the meantime? We should gather there and regroup.

And if anyone has heard about what was going on in the alleyway when we arrived? Or about the card that was left behind?

Ambrose and Lila both found out a little. The card's a code, signaling that someone's going to have somebody else killed. So, that should be the investigation, right? We find out who's behind it, and we stop them!

[gitanes]

You expect this to work linearly? It's like you weren't even at our little welcome party.

[reachforthekey]

What are you expecting, then?

[gitanes]

Dead ends if you're lucky, traps if you're not.

[reachforthekey]

What do you think we should do, then?

[gitanes]

One obvious option is, find out who's behind it and kill them. And whoever the hired gun is. [Just get rid of everyone. Clean slate.]

[reachforthekey]

... Joscelin isn't here to tell us we shouldn't, this time...

[unabatedly]

We'll still need to deal with the aftermath if he finds out.

But, barring that, we don't know who the hit has been put out on either. What if they're a criminal and we need to ensure that they die? We don't have all of the facts yet.

[reachforthekey]

... usually I just leave this part of the investigation up to Armin...

[unabatedly]

There's quite a few of us. Perhaps if we split up and look into each of these, piece by piece, we can find something substantial to go on.

[gitanes]

I'm sorry. Do you need a babysitter?

[reachforthekey]

I'm saying normally we don't do that kind of thing because he stops us. But if it's the quickest way to prevent an assassination... all right.

[gitanes]

Oh. Good.

[God, she was expecting this to be a more difficult argument to win.]

At least somebody sees sense.

[moredakka]

Kill... them?

Whoa!! One minute, one minute! Can't we just turn them over to the police?!

[gitanes]

The police. And tell the police what, exactly? Do you honestly think they don't know about organizations this big? If they could've done something about them, or wanted to, they would have by now.

[moredakka]

W-well, the... if... if we find out who the killer is then we can just go to the police with all the evidence and no one's going to have to kill anyone and that'd be a lot better...

[tealeafs]

Um, I actually think yours sounds like a good idea.. if they could lock us up like that, then they can do the same to the person who might be killing someone, right? And as long as the killer can't carry out the act, then everything should be solved.

[creatic]

And which one of us is to get the honors for each, Lila-chan?

[ getting rid of everyone does make it more simple. ]

[gitanes]

Everyone play to their strengths.

[Whoever is fastest, quietest, most efficient. For all of them. She doesn't need to get her hands dirty, but will, if it comes to that or losing.]

[creatic]

Hmm? Well, I've always liked the way you think.

[ and now is no exception. and he's happy to get his hands dirty. way too happy, actually, but another story another time. ]

[gitanes]

You should probably tell me all about your strengths, in that case.

[abetterway]

Obvious, perhaps, but not necessarily the most effective.

[wholeheaded]

I'll agree. Like... maybe the mission's to find a non-lethal resolution? Something peaceful?

[ #teamflowercrown has joined the discusison ]

[abetterway]

[see, she knew she liked you]

I would think breaking the cycle of violence would make more of a difference.

[unabatedly]

Violence isn't necessary. Not yet. We need more information.
