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 Shinnosuke 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 Shinnosuke 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 Shinnosuke's been chosen for one of those roles that were mentioned. Good luck.
[ There's more of a pause here as the Sheriff considers this question. It's a minute or so before he answers and gives a firm nod before speaking. ]
If you're sure of your death, I suppose it's your choice to reveal your role or not. Suppose I can't stop you there. But if you reveal yourself and survive, I might gotta punish ya another way.
[ But at the very least he nods for the other part. ]
Fine for me. Just let me know who you're thinkin' of. Don't have to now, just in general.
Rest assured, I have no desire to talk unless I'm about to die anyway. Your little threat's just another incentive to keep my mouth shut.
[He doesn't trust anyone nearly enough to reveal his role.]
... I already know. [...] Yuna Yuki, Seizaburo Kamiya, Xion.
[Of course, any of them could also be Bounties, in which case he must look like a fool, or they could die before they're selected as a Bandit. But if that isn't the case, then...
Those three are the kindest people he knows here, and even though he can barely admit it to himself, he's getting attached (and he'll do what he can to stop himself, but he already knows that that didn't work on Shiro and co. back home; in the end, he's weak). They don't deserve to die in this place, let alone cruelly. He has no idea who the other Bounties are or what they're like, so at the very least, he wants to be able to grant those three quick deaths if it comes down to that.
[ Aw, Shinnosuke, he's real glad he picked you!! ]
Yeah, you can have them. And shoot, I guess I don't really need to threaten ya, do I? Kay, I'll stop reminding you since you seem pretty aware enough. Less people I gotta reinforce the rules with, at least.
Yes, yes. Don't worry, I'll be putting my survival above all else. [... Minus this one request, anyway, because he knows how stupid this entire thing is from a self-preservation perspective, but yes, he's soft. Thanks for reminding him, damn it.] If I'm going to die, I'd rather it not be for something as idiotic as breaking a rule.

Whatever. Is that it? If so, get trying to find your other bounties already.
