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.
[Yeah neither of them are very happy right now. But this is familiar territory in some ways. "Need to know basis", all that crap, just... more sadistic.]
...I don't care about the location. Just need enough space.

Never had to deal with this with Moreau.
[Eliot don't start ranking the people who tell you to kill.]
Yeah, I'm going in unarmed, does that work for you? Come on.

Sara gets the gun. Eliot uses his hands. Alright. I can do that.
[ ... Then a slight pause and he scratches his beard. ]
I may need you to pick a location for the murder preemptively. [ ... ] It's a busy night for me, y'see.

Why is it a busy night for you?
[ WHAT ARE YOU DOING, HAL ]

Don't like the sound of that one bit.

Just a busy night for me. Got stuff going on. Ducks in a row and all that.
