The message comes by carrier pigeon actually, which is a pretty weird way to deliver a message but of course, it's thematic. A very pretty looking brown pigeon swoops down out of the sky to wherever you just so happen to be that afternoon and holds out its leg. The message is short and simple:
You've been picked. Head to the Church this evening so we can talk.
- Hal
P.S. Might wanna burn the note. Ain't gonna help you any to share it.
And that's it. Of course, if you choose to listen to the message, you'll find the Sheriff sitting in the front pew at dusk. You'll be greeted with a tip of his hat and one word:
"Bandit."
And then he holds out a small notebook. Looks like you've been chosen to be the killer this week. Good luck.
The notebook only contains a few short rules as follows:
You are a Bandit. Your partner is also a Bandit. The two of you have been chosen to kill one of the townsfolk this week.
If you kill and get away with your kill, you will be rewarded.
If your partner kills and you help them to get away with it during the trial, you will be rewarded.
The one who kills may not reveal their victim to the other Bandit. You must tell me privately who your target is.
If one of you refuses to participate, neither of you will be rewarded.
If both of you refuse to participate, you will both be killed.
Both of you are allowed to kill.
You are allowed to kill each other instead.
You may not tell anyone you were here tonight or you will be killed.
[ Okay, to the church he goes! Of course, the letter is suspicious but he doesn't care about that. So upon being greeted b y the sheriff, he's not exactly surprised ... It's the word that comes out of his mouth because it's ... Familiar of course. ]
A bandit... Like Mr. Higekiri?
[ He looks around, waiting for answer... Or whoever else is going to come by..? ]
[ Russell just ponders for a moment... Well, he's not really one to do things for rewards, but hey... You know, he just literally doesn't care about anything. ]
I suppose.. Okay. I've been told killing is bad, but it's okay if it's a part of the game, right? Anyone will do, I guess...
[ Briefly, Chane casts a speculative glance over at Russell before answering for herself. Pulling her notebook out of her pocket, it might seem like she's about to write something -- except, instead, she pulls out an aged piece of paper and unfolds it from quarters.
A copy of Nui's wanted poster hangs from her hand. ]
Killing here ain't like killing back where you come from. They'll come back if they're not dumb about it, essentially.
[ But okay, he's not expecting Chane's reaction and he just sort of looks, wide eyed. Then he starts to giggle. Do you guys need me to link that vine again? Because I will. ]
Hell, didn't expect that. You just broke a rule but I'm pretty sure neither of ya here give a shit so, alright. What about you, Russell? You want a go or gonna let the lady do all the work?
[ Confident in this agreement, Chane folds the poster back up - she'll burn it later, so it's not on her person - and lets the two guys have their talk. ]
Alright. Works like this. Is there anyone here you think would be interesting to see dead? After that, I give you a weapon and make sure events are in order for you to have your victim alone Thursday night. Then you kill them.
She's doing something for me. Potential to make the game more interesting. Trying to see if she pulls it off before I kick her to the curb is all. Don't tell anyone I told you that though.
[ He shrugs. ]
But uh... Annabeth Chase, she's going to be stuck in the stocks on Thursday. If that's easy enough for you.
[ JESUS, CHANE........ Again, Chane sort of strikes the Sheriff speechless before he just nods. ]
I'm only giving y'all one gun. Otherwise this gets boring quick. I'll give you the rifle, Chane. I'll give you... Russell, I'll give you your pole though you could probably ask for something more interesting.
[ But then he continues to consider, especially Chane's last thought. ]
Could also... well, could dissolve the bodies. I've got some lye since I was gonna use it for the other corpses. You can toss the other two after if you want. If I'm digging the pit anyway, I mean.
See, that's better. You can have your stuff, kids. No problem. What time do you wanna do it Thursday night? Right after curfew or later, around dawn even? Just so I can get things ready.

Oh... I can kill someone too. I've... Done it before anyway, it doesn't matter...

That Yuna girl, who keeps saying she's a hero... If she's a hero then she wouldn't die if I tried to kill her.
[ So there's that! Good reasoning, huh. Though, Russell will wait to see if the Sheriff is chill with that or not. ]
no subject
Nah, she'd pretty much die immediately. You can kill her though, but I wouldn't be very happy if you picked her, I gotta admit.
no subject
[ What's the lore sheriff..!! But look, Russell is a good(?) kid, so he'll at least listen... ]
Why wouldn't you be happy? I can kill someone you'd rather see die, then...

I never met her... But I can do that.
[ Simple enough! ] ... What kind of weapon will I get?
no subject
[ And a nod to Chane. ]
Same to you.
no subject
[ ... He's just going through the list of methods he has used before, pretty much. ]
Maybe... A metal pole or a gun... Will be the easiest.
no subject
Henry Lever action rifle with a scope.
[ Writing... ]
And a way to dispose of it after.

I will take the lye. [ Asking, without asking, if she can take care of the body herself. ]
no subject
[ Yeah. ]

... Well. Alright then, you got it. I think that's about it though. We can talk rewards once the trial is over.
