[ BOUNTY ]

BOUNTY (NOCTIS)

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 Noctis 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 Noctis 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 Noctis's been chosen for one of those roles that were mentioned. Good luck.

WEEK ONE

[sheriffexe]

[elemancy]

[of course, he's going to check it out. not because he's really interested in complying with any of this bullshit, but because he wants to know what it's all about.

he also doesn't burn the message, pocketing it instead—he'll wait on that until after he knows what this is about. and sure enough noct will show up when he's asked to, giving a wary eye to that greeting..

what?]

Bounty?

[sheriffexe]

Bounty, son. You been picked for one of the roles. Read the dang notebook first before asking me any questions.

[ And then he will gesture a bit more with the notebook, pushing it towards Noctis. Come on!! Be cool, soda pop. ]

[elemancy]

[he's not cool with any of this at all. he really only wants any part in the roles if it's going to help get everyone out of this mess anyway—

though it's exactly why he reads it over with an exasperated sigh, though what he gets from this isn't exactly winning information.]

There. Now can I ask questions? [he's got a bunch, honestly.]

[sheriffexe]

[ He's just gonna snort here before spitting out his tobacco. He'll be digging into his pocket to pull out another piece, gesturing for Noctis to talk with a hand. ]

Sure can. Go for it, I'm all ears.

[elemancy]

So you want me to find these other... Bounties while trying to keep this some kind of big secret.

[which sounds stupid, but okay.] What the hell's the point of that? Trying to rack up the body count by giving people ways to get "caught?"

WEEK TWO

[sheriffexe]

[elemancy]

[well, it's not like he wants to talk to the sheriff. but here he is.]

Hey. Got a question. [he's pretty sure he won't get an answer he wants, and his jaw is still clenched because, y'know.

fuck this guy and everything.

but noct recognizes he can't ignore the game, so it's time to ask something he may actually be able to use.]

[sheriffexe]

[ Noct, you're going to need to take a nap one of these days. But the Sheriff just raises an eyebrow and nods his head as if to say go on.

Continues carving at the piece of wood in his hand all the while. What a guy. ]

[elemancy]

[how's that new wooden dick coming along, boss!]

So the whole point of this Bounty business. [well, maybe not the entire reason, but what he's focused on right now.] Find the others without getting caught. That's... what I'm supposed to be doing right now?

[sheriffexe]

[ Pretty well! Soon enough he'll be able to shove it right up your ass with no glide. ]

Sure is. Requires socializing and listening to people. You think you can handle that?

WEEK THREE

[sheriffexe]

WEEK FOUR

[sheriffexe]

[elemancy]

[why is this week trying to murder me, i ask, showing up here days late.

unlike noctis who is totally here before everything totally goes to hell.]

Quick question. [he's not beating around the bush since every day here is a day longer that he's just done with everyone's shit.]

How much about the roles have you actually told to people who come asking you? [he's not even being a petulant shit this time, he just wants to know.]

[sheriffexe]

I only tell it to roles and more information with roles who are cashing in their rewards. Not that much to anyone else unless they've earned it completely.

[elemancy]

Good to know. Seems to be a lot flying around out there with things saying they came for you. Can't deny I got curious.

[it might help him figure out what's what based on that.]

Riku said you told him things. You said he didn't have a role, though— [so he's wondering what that's about. not accusatory!! for once!!]

[sheriffexe]

I didn't tell him anything I wouldn't tell the public as a whole and he got most of that shit wrong, so I'm pretty annoyed with that, if I'm frank. I didn't tell him anything about roles either.

WEEK FIVE

[sheriffexe]

WEEK SIX

[sheriffexe]

[elemancy]

[look who is finally showing his face!]

Hey. Pretty sure you can guess what I'm dropping by to do. [spoilers, he has questions. he's pretty sure there has to be something for him to cash in on at this point.]

[sheriffexe]

[ Just smoking his pipe here. ]

Annoy the shit out of me? Or, wait, you finally learned how to play your role? Good boy.

[elemancy]

Pleasant as ever, I see.

[he's not even being an aggressive ass this time!]

Just wanted to clarify some stuff. [not wasting time, though.] Sara said that she agreed to do her bandit job because her world was threatened, not her life.

[which???] Was that true?

[sheriffexe]

Sure was. I said I'd wipe everyone else's existence out but her. Send her home to be the only one left. Seemed to do the trick.

WEEK SEVEN

[sheriffexe]

[elemancy]

[even the sheriff isn't safe from letters.]

Sheriff Hal,

We didn't see eye-to-eye much. And I still don't agree with any of this. But... I'm not blaming you for it.

Make sure you take care of your cat. Don't let anything happen to this one. Try not to let anything happen to the other animals, either. They're innocent, they don't deserve any of this. Give Ash hell if he gives you any problems about that, too.

Take care.
