[GREMLIN SMILE.]

Pleasure doing business with ya, Akira-kun~

[survivaltricks]

[JUST SIGHS DEEPLY]

Well, that's about all I can say about this note. But if you run into anyone who talks about having sent me one, would you mind letting me know?

[concasse]

[Ah, back to business, then. Sanji turns and leans against the counter, arms folded]

I'll let you know... and I'd suggest after this, keep a close watch on who you tell what. That might give you a clue on to whose cheering you on.

[survivaltricks]

[hah]

Don't worry, I will.

And I think I'll retrace my steps and show the note to the people I spoke with, too. That might give me some insight on who sent it.

[concasse]

Mm...

[a pause]

Likewise, lemme know if you get a suspicion confirmed. Even if they don't admit to anything, it'll help me narrow my search for people to look into.

[OH AND ON THAT NOTE:]

Dick doesn't have a role, by the way. He's just damned nosy like you.

[survivaltricks]

Oh-- you checked already?

[he seems surprised]

I thought you met with Heart on Sundays?

[concasse]

Tch, I never said that.

[Grinning widely]

Monday is my day. And if I go in there knowing who I'm picking, I get the answer immediately.

[survivaltricks]

[oh]

[. . .]

[squints at Sanji!!]

Then when did you check me?

[concasse]

Last week.

[Tilting his head because he's not sure where the confusion is coming from]

I knew about you since Monday last week, but was deciding how and when I wanted to approach ya.

As for Dick, I found out about him yesterday.

1/2

[survivaltricks]

[what the fuck Sanji!1]

[survivaltricks]

Jerk.

[he clearly doesn't mean it, he is just huffing!1]

[concasse]

[THIS FACE???

He's so confused and accidentally flashes Akira an expression akin to a kicked puppy]

Oi, I was just thinking of leaving you to your own devices, not snitching on you, kid...

[survivaltricks]

[NO STOP HE'S JUST MESSING WITH HIM]

Oh no. . . I'm just messing with you. I just didn't realize you knew for that long.

[concasse]

[Spoilers, Sanji is secretly a bleeding heart baby.]

-- Oh, is that all?

[Maybe relaxing a little bit! Maybe!]

Well, like I said, it's not like I've got anyone to snitch to... except you, now.

[survivaltricks]

That's all.

[there, there, Sanji. Akira already considers this an alliance]

Speaking of snitching, I want to tell you about Natalie's theory about who killed Yu.

[concasse]

[Sanji and Akira are absolutely gossip girls and that's beautiful]

... I'm listening.

[survivaltricks]

She thinks someone from Black Shadows killed him.

. . . I promised her I wouldn't say why, though. But the logic behind it is really solid.

And it would confirm that the footprints we thought belonged to Ogata are fake.

[concasse]

So shithead really was set up, huh...

[He's frowning now, thinking quietly to himself]

Quick question: how many people's teams have you found out about so far? I don't need names or specifics, but.

[A trail-off]

For instance, I know of about twelve so far if you include the dead. My goal is to get up to twenty by the end of this week.

[survivaltricks]

. . . [ah]

Including myself and the dead? Only nine, but I have suspicions about four others.

I haven't been asking, though. These are from people who felt they needed to share with me.

And I only know of one person from Shadows' team, and that's Evan.

[concasse]

Interesting.

Winter's teammates are the ones who are alluding me. I've got a couple from Shadow already.

[...]

Anyway, there's a reason I asked. I wanna find out everyone's teams as soon as possible. The game ends when there's only one left standing, and depending on how fast that shitty info spreads, it could happen sooner rather than later.

So... at least until we're certain we have all the information available to us, to make whatever choices are necessary, the teams gotta stay somewhat balanced.

[survivaltricks]

Well, as far as Winter goes, you've got me.

[spreads his arms with a light huff]

I'd share who I know with you, but. . . [mmm] I'm not about to put them in danger that way.

[since it's confirmed that them sharing other people's teams with third parties counts as revealing information too quickly as to trigger consequences]

[concasse]

Idiot, I'm not asking you to share them with me. [he's so mean]

If people start exploding because information spread too quickly, you think this plan's gonna work? Then everyone's gonna be dead.

I'm letting you know what I wanna do, and you can act at your own shitty discretion. And even if we're not sharing information with each other, it helps having an idea of whose searching out what, y'know?

[survivaltricks]

[. . . huffs a laugh, cracking a bit of a smile]

Yeah. I guess it does.

Can you ask the people you know on Shadows' what they think about the footprint theory?

[concasse]

Sure. I'll ask them.

[...]

Though I'm telling you now, if any of the theory has to deal with fabricated evidence, I know the bastard who has an ability like that, and they didn't use it.

[survivaltricks]

It wouldn't be a power.

It'd be an item.
