I don't know if it's necessary? I just know they did it that one time.

[ once isn't a pattern yet. :/ and... he rolls his eyes ]

Why did it have to be an alchemist, anyway. [ SULK!! ] I don't know. I can't figure out what they could be affecting?

[vigilantics]

Well... there have been weird stuff to happen in the castle, right? Like last week there was random ice in the kitchen.

[alchemenace]

... Or like the rain this week? You think they affect the. The weather?

[vigilantics]

I don't know if it's weather specifically, but... it could be weather?

[alchemenace]

I guess? But compared to every other role, wouldn't that be kind of... [ lame. weak. ] you know.

[vigilantics]

There's probably more to it, I guess. The description is vague enough...

[alchemenace]

They all are.

[ why is this place this way ]

[vigilantics]

Yeah, but... the other ones are easier to guess despite the vagueness.

[alchemenace]

The, the guessing part is what's frustrating me a little. I feel like we're fighting for scraps of information?

[vigilantics]

... how did you find this out anyway?

[alchemenace]

At this point, my sources have sources. [ it's. said jokingly. ] Um, part of it came from info a Blotter got? The other half... I can't say.

[vigilantics]

Of course you can't.

[ she doesn't sound too surprised. ]

[alchemenace]

[ :c ]

Sorry.

[vigilantics]

No, it's fine. That's just how this whole thing works.

[alchemenace]

... You're sure? I know it. It must be frustrating for you too.

[vigilantics]

You have to appreciate whatever information you can get here.

[alchemenace]

... Right. Speaking of, I got another letter from Beauty? Or, well. I wrote them back, and they wrote to me.

[ HOW MANY PAPERS ARE IN HIS POCKETS? he's taking this one out now]

[vigilantics]

[ well, she'll reach over to open the drawer next to her bed, and pull this out. ]

I also got mail.

[alchemenace]

That... is a lot of black.

[ jesus. beast. ]

She's not great at the censorship, is she?

[vigilantics]

It's... kind of cute?

[ in a very ridiculous way. ]

[alchemenace]

... I guess? At least she's eager.

[ she's. trying her best. ]

So... we have more confirmation that we should fulfill objectives, and to try and always be in sync with our partners. That's... interesting.

[vigilantics]

Seems like it. Good luck with the partner thing.

[ have you seen some of the partnerships in this game.... they need help. ]

[alchemenace]

No one should tell Zelos and Sanji about this.

[vigilantics]

I have... no idea what those two even do.

[ their partnership is an enigma. ]

[alchemenace]

I think a lot of spite is involved? It sounds wild when Sanji talks about it. But... Well, Sanji's nice even when he's grumpy, so I think maybe he likes Zelos? Deep down. I have no idea about Zelos.

[ what is this. gossip hour. ]
