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.
Yeah, it is. I give 'em two weeks to contribute, and if you ain't you're out. Guy didn't do anything at the trials and didn't bother with the public at large. So, he's out.
[Immediately, both hands ball into fists at his sides. He looks pretty strung, a ready-to-fly rubber band notched onto two fingers.] You don't have any authority over people's lives. You don't get to decide who lives and dies.
I weigh how much everyone's played the game as a whole and then either send you to your deaths, permanently, or revive you all and send you home as you'd like.
If you're going to play an idiotic game with people's lives, play it fairly! [Sorry, but he's going to take a sucker punch at the Sheriff's stupid tin gut just because he's mad!!]
I set it up how I'm supposed to set it up. You figure out a way out of it then, if you're so displeased. Ain't my job to lead to you water, just to tell ya that you should find it. Do better then, if you're so dang displeased.

Hey. One of your Bounties is dead. Ocelot. Wasn't participating enough so I had to kill him.

You have two jail cells! Lock them inside!

I kinda do, though. Sort of my job here. Do I have to explain this again? I'm the Sheriff.
[ Like, honestly!! ]
And I won't do that with people who ain't participating. They're out full stop so I don't have to deal with them.

What happens to those that are dead if no one stops this game? If everyone dies, what happens?

It isn't fair if you set us up for failure from the beginning! You're rigging the outcome in your favor!

I will then. I'm going to put an end to this sick game.
