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.
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.
Figured that. I knew he got some of that wrong too.
[he sighs.] Kinda had a feeling he wasn't a role. Guess I gotta try to figure out where he got that from.
[but at leat that narrows down some information about how many people know the truth.] There's a few people talking about roles—things like Madame and Bartender.
...Not expecting you to tell me anything about 'em, but they're the real deal, even if people's speculations are wrong. Right?
Concerned about anything that might be looking to take me out. Curious is more like it, but I'm pretty sure I haven't done much to cash in on any answers.

[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!!]
