[Bounties + Honorary Bounty: week 5, Tuesday]

[thatsthespirit]

[on Tuesday, Milla flags down Percy, Damian and Noctis and tells them to meet her at the homestead-- the perfect, out-of-the-way place for clandestine meetings. she makes sure she arrives first (after all, part of the purpose of this meeting is to introduce Noctis to Percy and Damian as another Bounty), so when the others arrive they'll find her dutifully feeding a cow some hay from her hand]

[when all known Bounties and the Honorary Bounty arrive, she speaks up, hand resting on the cow's neck as it chews its cud]

I confirmed yesterday afternoon that Noctis is a fellow Bounty. With three of us gathered, I imagine the Sheriff will soon be introducing us to the fourth-- and last-- of our numbers.

[or is it fifth, with Percy hanging around?? he was just as good as a Bounty in her mind, after all. ah well]

And with that, I imagine we all have much to discuss.

[MEETING, GET!!]

...yeah. Yeah, it does, because once a person is no longer a Bandit they could out the Deputy. [Well shit.] That just makes it ten times harder than I thought it'd be. I know Hal communicates with the Bandits but I didn't realize that's really what he meant. I was hoping...for something, I guess.

The Sheriff couldn't override the Deputy could he?

[thatsthespirit]

Override the Deputy's decision to place someone in the stocks or jail cell?

[HRMMM. . .]

I don't know. I feel like he could, but whether he would or not is a different story.

[hydrokinetics]

Good point. I bet he'd say no because it messes with the game too much, but it's something to keep in mind. He could override other stuff, too.

It gives us an idea of what to ask in the future.

[thatsthespirit]

The Sheriff told me he only gives out handicaps, not advantages, to people. It's why he took all of our useful abilities, but left the ones that hinder people's judgement. He used Will as an example.

[poor empath Will]

That's also something to keep in mind if we intend to use the Sheriff being able to override other roles to our advantage. Somehow.

[hydrokinetics]

He keeps telling me to stop asking about powers. I think he just doesn't like that I keep asking him. [He misses his waterbending, fuck off, Hal.] But that would make sense if the game is designed to hurt us.

We have to use Hal as as much of a resource as possible. It's what Annabeth was trying to do.

[thatsthespirit]

Ah-- yes, he mentioned that when I asked him if he liked me.

[Milla???]

I agree. He's a double-edged sword-- someone who can help us or hurt us, depending on how we approach him.

Wait what do you mean he mentioned that? [Let's go back to that?]

[thatsthespirit]

[oh Percy]

Oh, I asked him if he had a particular fondness for me, based on the fact that you said it seems like he does. He said he likes everyone-- including you, even though you irritate him by getting angry at his logic.

I'm gonna kick his robot ass one of these days. [HAL!!!] Come on, Milla, even you have to admit his logic sucks.
