[WEEK 2, FRIDAY POST-INVESTIGATION: Lief]

[it's probably not a surprise that Magilou seeks Lief out, once all is said and done]

Heeeey.

At least he was all in one piece this week.

[she jokes!! but it's weirdly half-hearted??]

It is nothing personal. To be perfectly frank, I am not certain of anyone's honesty. I ask you only because we actually have an agreement to share information.

... Though I will agree that as a whole, you likely do not appear very trustworthy.

[she sighs, also not bothered by her apparent shadiness]

I'm the same, actually. I'm still not entirely convinced you don't have a role, but I imagine you're also suspicious of me.

[it was the nature of a game like this one]

But, yes. I was being honest with you. I have nothing to share, and it gets my goat more than anything else on this island has so far.

I maintain that I do not have one.

[...]

... I wonder how much anyone knows. If there are people trading information, and we simply have not earned the trust of the right people, or...

Someone has to know.

[at the very least, those assigned roles know. and even though it's only been two weeks, people have to have been forming alliances and sharing information within them. right?]

The most we can do is keep sniffing until we manage to dig something up.

... Who would you suspect of having a role?

[Aside from him, he means.]

You, of course.

Newt-- [wait she's the only one who calls him Newt] -- canon name Akito Karasu, or whatever. Him.

Battler.

[she shrugs]

That's about it, though.

[He tilts his head.]

Akira, I can see. I have not spoken to Battler personally, though, so I do not know much about him.

[she'll call him Akira one day, and it'll be special]

He's sort of a moron, but maybe not quite as much of one as I originally thought. [a shrug] Honestly, my hunches for him having a role are the same as the hunches I have for you and Baby Trickster.

That we seem driven?

[her mouth twitches]

Driven do-gooders.

[aka: protagonists]

[Hmm.]

Perhaps one of us would have such a role—though I maintain that it is not me—but I do not think the Chiefs would assign one to each of us.

I don't know. Maybe they would. Depends on the nature of the roles, right?

[she doesn't know anything about the roles except some are for killing and others are for items, so!]

If the Chiefs focused only on a narrow sort of personality, it would perhaps be too easy to deduce the roles' identities if we found even one.

In any case, I think a number of us are "driven".

Not like you three. Or. . . at least, not that I could tell.

[. . . but she doesn't clarify]

I suppose, also, I'm focusing a bit too much on one personality type.

[she may have biases]
