Role: Power Sensor

Today, when Will is alone, they will receive a text message from Aquamarine Fox.

Hey hey! Can you come to the cafe ASAP? I know it's a rough morning, but we've got some stuff to talk about.

Linger for too long, and they will find Fox's own prinny at their side, ushering them toward the Storybook Cafe. Upon arrival, it leads them toward the back and out into the courtyard, where Aquamarine Fox waits at a table with two cups of tea, a small plate of pastries, and a wan smile.

"Thanks for coming. You've got an important job to do from now on."

On their phone, Will will find a new app available to them: POWER SENSOR. In the app, they will find a set of rules that they must accept in order to continue:

RULES

1. Once a week, the Power Sensor will be given a list of powers and items that have been used from Monday to Friday morning of that week.
2. From this list, the Power Sensor may choose one power or item to gain more information on.
3. The Power Sensor must keep this role a secret.

After reading the rules and accepting, Will will be greeted with a new screen containing the aforementioned list. Once they've made their choice for the week and closed the app, they will not be able to open it again, nor will anyone else will be able to see or access the app or the information within.

"With any luck," says Fox, still wearing that small smile, "this will be able to help you tomorrow. If you have any questions, I'm here to help."

[rough indeed. he is trying so hard to keep his cool but the news of norma and chiemi being fucking dead has him rattled.]

...okay, so about rule number three...

[becomemod]

[ yeah, they kind of expected this, and they are genuinely apologetic. ]

Sorry, Will...

[stunwhistle]

[giving them the biggest, saddest puppydog eyes he can muster]

But he won't tell anyone else. It'll be like I haven't told anyone at all.

[becomemod]

[ they feel so bad!!!! ]

If you tell anyone, you lose the job, so it'll either go to someone else or stop being an option altogether. If you want to try to help this way, you can't tell anyone, even him.

[stunwhistle]

[he would say "he's gonna kill me when he finds out about this," but that's a little too soon what with, you know, norma and chiemi being dead.

instead, he sighs heavily and nods once.]

...is the power I used not on this list because I already know about it? Or is this just a random assortment of things that were used, and not everything?

[becomemod]

You mean your healing? That's different. These are the powers you guys borrow from us, not your own.

[stunwhistle]

...so if whoever hurt them only used their own power, and not a team power, there'd be no way to follow up on that.

[he frowns, thinking about it]

That medal Tama found in the convenience store... [he's eyeing that on the list] Seems relevant to "Medal" being on this list here.

[WHICH REMINDS ME I SHOULD GO REPORT OUR EVIDENCE I JUST GOT SO DISTRACTED BECAUSE OF WORK]

[becomemod]

Probably not... but the good thing is that no one should know about this role, so they won't be actively trying to get around you because of it.

I didn't know you found a medal.

[stunwhistle]

If I find something that people need to know - what are my options? Do I have to, like, just lie about how I know something, or could I leave some kind of anonymous note so people know about it but don't know I'm the one who left it?

...yeah. The whole place was on fire, and it was... it was there. [he sighs] ...found a lighter, too. It felt empty, or at least emptier than I expected it to.

[becomemod]

Hmm... I think you could leave an anonymous message, as long as you're careful about it.

...I see. Ah, Emmy's not going to sleep again, are they...? So it's connected to one of them, then. Is that the one you want to pick?

[stunwhistle]

Not be able to sleep...? Do we need to invite them over?

...I'm thinking about it. I want to find out what happened to them. [...] It's probably the most straightforward choice - since it was found there. The other things might not be related...

[becomemod]

I don't think it'll help...

[ shakes their head. ]

Yeah, I think that's the risk here. It's everything from this week, and we already know someone's been cursing people. [ chiemi was so mad about it, too. ] You know what our team's powers do, but so far, that's all, isn't it?

[stunwhistle]

...yeah. But Nico mentioned he was gonna ask about getting permission to tell me his.

That feels a little like cheating now that I can't tell him about this, though.

[becomemod]

[ tilts their head. ]

Would it be cheating if he told you first? You don't know if his is even on here.

[stunwhistle]

Maybe not. But it'd feel like cheating if I asked him about it again, if he's forgotten.

...anyway, I... [his brow furrows] Is there any reason you can think of that I shouldn't pick the medal?

[the way they mentioned emerald goat right after the medal came up worries him.]

[becomemod]

Um... Not really? It was there at the scene, and now it's on your list, so there's no doubt it's connected. It's a safe choice from the items.

The only other thing would be to like... try to get an idea of what the other teams' powers are, I guess. But like you said, there's no guarantee that those will be connected.

[stunwhistle]

...alright. Medal it is, then. Let's see what I learn.

[he smiles]

'Sides, I'm pretty sure people will end up telling me their team powers on their own.

[becomemod]

You think so? Even though we asked you guys not to?

[ they're more curious than upset. ]

You must be a pretty trustworthy guy, then, aren't you?

[stunwhistle]

A ton of us did end up in jail. I don't think we're all very good at doing what we're told?

[becomemod]

[ laughs softly. ]

That's true. Just don't get upset with me for wanting you to be safe, okay?

[stunwhistle]

...nah, I won't be. I mean - I get it.

[a beat - ]

I get that way about people I care about, too.

[becomemod]

Mm, so we've got that in common.

I don't really wanna tell you what to do, and I understand not wanting to keep secrets from your boyfriend, too. So I'm really sorry to ask you to do that, but I trust you.

[stunwhistle]

...if it helps, it helps. I wanna get to the bottom of everything that's been going on here.

I won't really be able to do that if I get "fired," will I?

[becomemod]

I don't want to say you can't solve it without this role... but I'm hoping it'll help out, at least a little.

[stunwhistle]

...you think it'll be any help for -

[he frowns, because he doesn't want to think about this happening week after week, but... it's already happened twice now. statistically, it's likely to keep happening, given what they have in the rules and the notes the cyoa crews brought back.]

For getting to the bottom of the whole situation? Or... just for the things that happen Thursday nights?
