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 Damian just so happens to be that afternoon and holds out its leg. The message is short and simple:
Got a job for you. Meet me at the farm at dusk. No show, no job. Keep it a secret, rewarded very well.
- Hal
P.S. Burn this.
And that's it. Of course, if Damian chooses to listen to the message, he will find the Sheriff at the farm at dusk, chewing a piece of tobacco and watching the sun set. He'll be greeted with a tip of his hat and one word:
"Bounty."
And then he holds out a small notebook. Looks like Damian's been chosen for one of those roles that were mentioned. Good luck.
[After a moment or two, Damian all at once tosses the notebook back down at Hal's feet.] Fine. Be a tool for someone else and grow dull and useless until you're replaced. I'm not going to waste my breath trying to change your mind.
What's the purpose of the role I'm trying to find? And what happens when people die?
[Bullshit. A small part of him dies because he isn't sure of how to proceed. "Half-life." They're not completely dead? But that doesn't make killing them any less of a kill, right? Not if they can feel it. If they know.
Would his father kill people who would not complete die in order to save everyone else? Killing is still killing... He's killed so much already.
He's trying to atone for it.] When do I make my first choice?
[ The Sheriff looks thoughtful for a moment as he considers. ]
Not anytime soon. Or maybe very soon. Right now, it hinges on if the Bandits refuse the offer first. If they do, do you want to be the one to kill one or do you want me to ask another Bounty?
If he chooses to take the job, he'd be killing. If he refuses, someone else will more than likely kill an "innocent" person because they don't have the same Bat morals.
He's been scouring the homestead for plants, but hasn't found anything that would give him a leg up on making people seem dead.] I'll do it.
[He hopes he has enough time to search for a better way, and he hopes he doesn't regret it.]

[ He'll look down at the notebook for a moment before have at Damian. Geez, litterbug. ]
To find you. Same parameters. You just got your Bounties to help and they have something else. Pretty interesting to watch if I do say so myself.
[ NEITHER CAN LIVE WHILE THE OTHER SURVIVES. ]
And they're dead, sorta. Bit of a half-life. Won't die properly till the game is over, then it's just a matter of how the game ends where they end up.
