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.
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?
Been doing pretty well already. Pretty sure I've made more friends in the last week than you.
[thanks for the faith in him, asshole. he can swallow that wooden dick instead, that'd be more ideal.
but anyway, more importantly.]
Am I supposed to be looking for some kind of secret signal or somethin'? Seems like a good way to get nothing done if there's not even a clue to go on. [then again, the sheriff wants to see them all kill each other anyway, so he's not sure what he's bothering with this for.]
Leader has clues. Already asked for one. You don't though, maybe you should just, let's see, use your instincts? You got any of those? A brain, maybe? It's a god damn puzzle, why the hell are you so confused about it?
Probably because it's less of a puzzle and more throwing us to the wolves. Up the river without a paddle when you go "blindly try to find some people secretly in a group of 40."
[what the hell kind of instincts does he think exist for this?]
Blindly. As if you can't look into this group and figure out who I'd choose for something like this? You that stupid you think I'd pick a girl like Yuna? Here's a tip, moron: Yuna ain't a bounty.
Forgive me for thinkin' you'd put in the work instead of whining at me for the answers. Thought you had a lick of potential but I see that I was wrong.
I'm trying to play along with your stupid game, aren't I? [he's just not being nice about it.] Not looking to apologize for not knowing how to do things without having a way to learn it.
Don't complain if the job doesn't get done the way you like it, then.
[maybe you're the stupid one, bro!!! that's what bosses are supposed to do? he's just gonna do what he wants then, he'll do it his own way without your stupid rules!!

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.]

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

[he's a prince, not a detective???] Makes sense I'd ask how to play a game I don't know.

Might as well, with how old-fashioned this place is. [but anyway:] If you're not gonna be helpful at all, just say it and I'll go.
[hopeless and useless scrap metal!]
no subject
No, I ain't gonna be helpful, 'cause you're asking me how to do the damn job and that's just stupid.

See ya. [truly a match made in hell.]
