[recrypt]

[ hahahaha no.

that is not even remotely close to what [redacted] is. ]

That's.

Certainly one way to get the second task done.

[fishingforcompliments]

Well? Shall we try it?

[no]

[recrypt]

[ lmao ]

Well. What could the harm be, hm?

[ lmaaaaao ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Very well! On the count of three... one, too, three!

[SHOOT.]

[recrypt]

I was told who killed Yu weeks ago.

[ no one ever said this would have to be relevant. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[at the same time:]

I— [wait. that derails what she was going to say.] Someone told me the same thing! Did that information come from you?

[recrypt]

I don't know, did it? It might depend on when that happened.

Anyway. Go on, continue what you were going to say. ♪

[fishingforcompliments]

...oh, yes! Well, I must admit, I feel a bit silly. I was going to say that I was aware of who killed him.

[...]

It appears we knew the same thing after all.

[recrypt]

The timing might be the more important indicator here, frankly. News travels fast in camp when it's nothing that will injure someone.

Besides. Perhaps I was a source of that information. Who could say.

[ this is still valid on a technicality. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...hmm, well. I suppose if you were the source of that information, you would not be able to confirm it, would you?

[recrypt]

Haha. Why would I not? I could simply be choosing not to. Or perhaps I couldn't confirm for sure.

After all, what if two different parties came across the same information by different means? Even if I were the source, I wouldn't be able to guarantee that no one else managed to stumble into the same answer completely independently of myself.

[fishingforcompliments]

Do you think that is likely? There are so many questions that have been left unanswered in this place - to have two people independently stumble across the same answer seems like a bit too large a coincidence.

[recrypt]

We all asked the Directors the same questions enough that they had to formally release a bulletin addressing the most common queries. I wouldn't put it past us, if people are actually trying.

[fishingforcompliments]

I suppose that is true...

[but those were also questions that the directors were able to answer more or less freely, too. flayn wonders if they'd all be more careful about refraining from doubling up on answers they had to work for.]

[recrypt]

[ who said the answers they're seeking came from the directors, though? most of any of the information they actually want now won't come directly from them, after all.

she flips a page of her book. ]

In any case. I was told who killed Yu. I am a potential source of that information, perhaps. Our directors come from the same places we do, though that's obvious enough by now most people should be able to guess it unless they're not paying any attention at all. Do you want me to go on? Most of any of the information that isn't useless around here is public knowledge, thanks to our precedent of Tuesday announcements, so unless you want me to start dropping personal secrets...

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh, do you know many of those?

[gossip with her, 45!]

[recrypt]

Dolls don't generally take much interest in that sort of thing, nor do people tend to discuss them with us.

[ also, the ship messes are obvious. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh... that is a shame. It can be fun to discuss such matters, from time to time.

[recrypt]

Flayn, I'm not sure what part of 'I was created to be a tool, and therefore do not generally engage in these sorts of affairs' you don't seem to understand.

[fishingforcompliments]

[45 you got a boyfriend.]

"Generally". Certainly that means with some exceptions, you can, if you so choose to!

[recrypt]

[ Flayn has literally never talked to her about this. ]

Should I choose to. And what reason do I have for it now?

[fishingforcompliments]

[She watched the theater!]

...to become better acquainted with someone who shares your cabin?

[recrypt]

[ Flayn has literally never brought it up to 45. ]

To what end? We'll all part from here eventually, and you haven't asked before now.

[fishingforcompliments]

Perhaps I could be a source of information for you! You never know.

[



is she going to look back on this and giggle when 45 gets invited to the pizza party? maybe.]

[recrypt]

[ she thinks this like 45 didn't already suspect her and about half of pizza party, the ones she went to right after the trial or later in the weekend, it's adorable... ]

No, I suppose I won't. Oh well. And here I thought you were asking about personal gossip.
