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 Natalie 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 in front of the doctor's office 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 Natalie chooses to listen to the message, she will find the Sheriff in front of the clinic at dusk. She'll be greeted with a tip of his hat and one word:
"Doctor."
And then he holds out a small notebook. Looks like Natalie's been chosen for one of those roles that were mentioned. Good luck.
If the entire point of this is to give them stuff that can help them, why am I getting options like beartrap and dynamite and... Okay, I have several questions about the snakes in particular. What kind of snakes? How many snakes?
I feel like I should at least get to know whether they're poisonous and whether they can do anything cool other than, like, normal snake things. That's important in this decision.
[It's not, she's never picking snakes. But.]
I'm pretty sure a beartrap exists solely to hurt things.
Nope. Ain't theirs to have. If the person who wants to kill wanted a beartrap, I would give it to them. But anything you choose to leave is property of the town.

Snakes. Plural. An assortment, at least.
[ BUT RIGHT -- ]
And they all are helpful. There's the possibility to help and hurt, when used in ways they can think of. That sort of thing.

[ Ugh, Natalie!! Be cool about this!! ]
Beartrap can be used to catch a killer, Miss.

Let's go with the beartrap, then.

Okay. This should be interesting.
