[ THE DOCTOR ]

[sheriffexe]

DOCTOR

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.

But I won't even... It'll be disguised, like this fucking list, and you won't tell me is which. Right?

[sheriffexe]

I'll tell you what it is if you ask the right questions. You don't ask, I don't tell.

[robitussin]

But half the time when I ask you say you can't tell me!

[sheriffexe]

About the items?

[robitussin]

You told me you couldn't tell me what was on the USB stick, whether it could actually help or not.

[She... at least seems like she's calming down, slightly. Maybe.]

[sheriffexe]

No. I told you I wouldn't provide a USB stick if there was nothing on it. Whatever is on the USB stick I can't tell you because it's the item itself. What you're giving them is the information.

Same logic here. I told you there were deer. They were normal. You didn't ask how many deer there were, I could have told you that. I couldn't tell you they were going to stampede since that is the point of the item like the information on the USB stick.

[robitussin]

[She takes a long breath and shakes her head.]

What would have happened if I picked the bees?

[sheriffexe]

I would've given a few beehives and some beekeeping supplies. People could collect their own honey. That kind of thing.

[robitussin]

And the giraffe? Same thing as the deer, right?

[sheriffexe]

No. One giraffe in the homestead. No one would know what to do with it.

[robitussin]

But... You said the rest of them would have killed someone, other than the bees.

[sheriffexe]

Potential to kill someone, yes. Heck, Sei wouldn't have died if she didn't throw herself into the fray. Pretty simple.

[robitussin]

[A pause, for a moment.]

She? Herself? No, never mind, it doesn't even matter, just...

[She sighs.]

If someone wanted to volunteer as a victim, would you let them?

[Not that she's actually going to do it, but.]

[sheriffexe]

[ He doesn't comment on the pronouns, just continues to stare flatly.

But, right. ]

Sure would, yeah.

[robitussin]

Would it earn them more merit, since they're helping the game along?

[sheriffexe]

Suppose so. They'd also be dead though, so couldn't really cash in on a in game reward.

[robitussin]

...Could they cash in on it beforehand?

[sheriffexe]

[ He considers. ]

... Nope. Action ain't done yet.
