Role: K-9

K-9

Today, when Hung is alone, they will receive a text message from Cobalt Ox.

Hey, meet me at the arcade? We need to talk in private. Come to the back by the pinball machines.

Linger for too long, and they will find Ox's own prinny at their side, ushering them toward the The Arcade. There aren't many people in here now as the arcade has just opened for the day, so navigating to the back where the pinball machines are isn't as hectic as it would be in the evening. There they will find Cobalt Ox, who gives them a little wave before nodding their head in the direction of a nearby door labeled 'STAFF ONLY'.

This room is a storage closet full of supplies for the arcade, but there is a table and two chairs for Hung to sit down at if they choose. Once the door is closed behind them, Cobalt Ox will lean against it as they talk.

"Okay, this is going to sound kinda rude, but I promise I didn't choose the name for this. Think you can do a little extra work for me from now on?"

On their phone, Hung will find a new app available to them: K-9. In the app, they will find a set of rules that they must accept in order to continue:

RULES
1. On Fridays after investigations, the K-9 will pick one of the victims.
2. During the subsequent trial, the K-9 can choose to use their role, which will notify them of any evidence found that relates to that victim's death. The K-9 can only use their role once per trial, and it must be used at least 30 minutes or more before the end of the trial.
3. The K-9 will not know the exact amount of evidence to be found, nor will they know if they still need to find more evidence. All they will learn is if evidence that has been found at the moment they use their role is related to their chosen victim's death or not.
4. Forged evidence will still be considered as related to the case.
5. If there is only one death in a given week, then the K-9 will not be able to use their role.
6. The K-9 must keep this role a secret.

After reading the rules and accepting, Hung will be greeted with a new screen saying "SEE YOU SATURDAY!". Once they close the app, they will not be able to open it again until Saturday during the trial, nor will anyone else will be able to see or access the app or the information within.

After Hung closes out of the app, Cobalt Ox sighs and runs a hand through their hair. "With any luck you won't really have to do any work, but it's here if it's needed. We'll meet again every Friday, but if you have any questions now then I can answer them."

Ahaha... [ tired ] Wound up going to jail for a second time, but the head guard had some nasty powers including memory loss and uh. Shooting me with a gun. And then a small bomb went off.

[ it's Fine. ]

I've got a note for it, but I haven't seen the other group's yet. Standby for that? [ sinks to sit down and cringes slightly, letting her fuss - but as he's pulling the note out of his pocket, he has something: ] Hey, is the person that texts us at the beginning of trial someone like me? Can I do something like that? Get a burner phone and text the results I get to the public chat?

Sorry, sorry. It's my job to tank attacks, but... maybe not like that. I didn't have my power from here, or anything from home, or my shield... [ sighing, but he slides the note across once he gets it out. ]

Heroes are not all powerful. Even they have only so much energy to go around, and the more it is used, the less they may hold in reserve. With only twelve heroes, even if each calls upon reinforcements, they cannot share their power with too many others, lest they be stretched too thin. As this battle grows longer and they continue to give those parts of themselves away, their power will wane as the moon’s waxes.

Yeah, it's just them. [ frowns bc albedo damb ] I'll get it... but tonight I'll go find a phone. Maybe I can rip open a seam in my bag and hide it in there, because no one ever really checks my stuff, or at least - no one's checked the bag since I started bringing it. [ because he's tired, and hurt, and probably shouldn't be running around checking every piece of evidence by himself to confirm their relation to the cases. if he can spread it... ] Promise I'll be careful.

Them? Them who?

[ he does nod to that, though, and it'll probably be becomelist. ]

[ life ate me but when i backtag that thread i'll understand. he kind of thinks maybe it has something to do with her powers, if it's not a person, but he won't pry too much.

hung's phone goes off while they're sitting there together, and he is briefly distracted before he makes a face.

... Temenos figured out the cipher in the paper. "Heroes sacrifice ability leave competition control destiny animals winning murder the trust the public has in them and each other the more the better."

So, maybe?

[ he taps his phone and is quiet for a moment as he reads. responds to the chat, frowning. ]

If you give up the powers that you got here, which maybe aren't the full scope of what you really could do back home for whoever came here from places that already had them, then maybe you can leave the competition..?

Iiii don't know. We don't really interact with the public much, except when they tell us we suck on Wednesdays.
