[alchemenace]

Yeah, it's not... great. [ as the local villain. ] I'll try to convince him.

[vigilantics]

Thank you.

[ ... ]

Speaking of titles...

[alchemenace]

Yes?

[ ??? ]

[vigilantics]

[ give her a sec, she seems to be still debating this. ]

My title lets me check a piece of evidence every week.

[alchemenace]

[ oh. oh!!! varian goes wide-eyed before he frowns ]

Oh. Oh, wow. Check ... how?

[vigilantics]

It varies from week to week depending on the murder. Sometimes I can check two things, other times it's just one. I basically just get some piece of information on the item? It's ranged from stuff like the exact time it was placed there to whether or not the item was given to them by the Crafters.

[alchemenace]

That ... depending on the evidence choice, that could potentially be very useful. Or at least cut down on the time people spend looking at things that, well. That ultimately don't matter. That's great!

[vigilantics]

Which is why I'm telling you because trying to work with this information with barely any help gives me a headache every Saturday.

[alchemenace]

And you're ... trusting me to help. ...Thanks, Stephie.

[vigilantics]

... it's no problem. I know I can count on you.

[alchemenace]

[ ... for some reason, something about that... ]

I-- I, um. I can make fake evidence.

[vigilantics]

That's... interesting.

[ zia were you the fucking shoe ]

[alchemenace]

... I've mostly been thinking it'll help if I ever get picked as a Blotter?

[ :)? ]

[vigilantics]

[ she just sighs. ]

Please tell me the shoe wasn't you...

[alchemenace]

[ ....... ]

In my defense, I did tell everyone I was sure it wasn't relevant to the actual murder. A few times?

[vigilantics]

[ SHE COVERS HER FACE AND GROANS ]

[alchemenace]

I, I just wanted to test it, and I thought it would be obvious...

[ :( ]

[vigilantics]

Your mistake was overestimating us.

[ which is cute. ]

[alchemenace]

It was one shoe?

[ please save him ]

[vigilantics]

I know and it was painful to watch that.

[ look. she was on team ignore the shoe. ]

[alchemenace]

[ it was. ]

... A-anyway, so that's ... what both our titles do.

[vigilantics]

Thank you for telling me

[ there is a risk from both of them?? telling each other's?? varian because murder and steph's because it might potentially make her a target, so. ]

[alchemenace]

... No problem. Thanks for, for trusting me.
