What is it?

[nonbelligerent]

How much do you know about the roles here?

[televised]

... I was approached by one recently. [Said, like she expects him to know this already.] But admittedly? Not too much. Why do you ask?

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

Which title?

[televised]

You're already aware of her.

[nonbelligerent]

The function?

[televised]

They check one of us each week. That's what I was told, anyway.

[nonbelligerent]

[.............]

Well, this is somewhat of a surprise. They didn't tell me they were going to tell you.

[televised]

Believe me, no one is as surprised as I am.

[nonbelligerent]

Did they say why they approached you? I was previously under the impression they had no intention of ever doing so.

[televised]

Because I'm smart and useful.

[A beat.]

... That's verbatim, by the way. I'm not fluffling my own ego.

[nonbelligerent]

[he laughs at tad, silently.]

Well, you are. No need to be modest.

I don't suppose you're willing to just name who approached you? In case we aren't, in fact, thinking of the same person.

[televised]

I'm not a ghost whisperer, so it obviously wasn't Hisoka.

[nonbelligerent]

I'd be a little concerned if you were having secret communications with Hisoka.

No, Hisoka isn't who I was thinking of.

[televised]

[She hums, almost thoughtfully. After a moment's pause:]

Emma.

[nonbelligerent]

[hm.]

Well, I'll be blunt. I was tasked with figuring out whether or not you have a role.

[televised]

I don't.

[BUT SOMEHOW, THE CLOWN DID???? She sounds 100% salty.]

[nonbelligerent]

[why did the clown have a role,]

I have to wonder about Lune and Sol's selection process... but all right. Thank you.

[televised]

Lune's criteria is, apparently, people he trusts. Which is the worst fucking criteria you can have if it includes Hisoka, of all people.

[SHE AGED 10 YEARS AFTER FINDING OUT...]

But... You're welcome, I guess. Too bad I didn't have a different answer for you.

[nonbelligerent]

Lune does seem to see the world in an interesting way.

Yes, it's too bad. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

[televised]

Which is a polite way of saying he's crazy.

[Lune has bad taste.]

But I take it this means you and Emma have been working together to figure out who has the rest of the roles.

[nonbelligerent]

Well, it's something that could be useful to know.

[televised]

No, I definitely agree with that. Especially after learning that one of the roles was assigned to someone like Hisoka.

[nonbelligerent]

[he nods.]

At the very least, it's good to be aware of who's responsible for what, so we can at least guess at their motivations.

[televised]

Is there anyone whose motivations you're currently worried about?

[since

he's role hunting for a reason.]
