A bar? Not the bar - the one we have?

A bar. A whole building that's one.

There was no one inside it. And it referenced a place I know called Texas, so it might be on Earth? But I wonder why there's a camera recording it.

[ (yuri voice) a tex ass? ]

... I don't even know what a texas is, so I'm not sure I can be too much help there. But if the cameras are following it, it's got to be significant in some way, right?

The probably is not having any idea why.

[ what the fuck is good about texas ]

I'm thinking about having another one of those meetings soon.

Do we just ask the Avatars what their thoughts on Texas are?

[ i don't know i'm british ]

It might be an idea. We keep finding out new things at a stupid rate, and consolidating it all isn't a bad idea.

[ he nods ]

And it's easy to not hear about things by not thinking to ask people about what they've found.

It might jolt a few memories, and we might see a little more progress than before. The bigger picture usually helps with that.

[ ... ]

I asked Greed about other powers, and they were ... helpful but vague. They suggested talking to other people, and I did. Someone confirmed they received an extra power that matches one of the current event powers. So we're wondering if Avatars have a set number of powers and can hand them out en masse or indivudually.

That being said, I'm not sure if anyone else has received the power to count votes like I did a couple of weeks ago.

That makes sense... it sounds like some of the powers have been getting recycled. I know the power that fucked with Harrowhark's memory last trial was apparently something that someone had previously, but it ran out by that time.

Yes. Which means some of the more easily abused powers, like Oliver Twist, or Insomnia, or Doctors Hate Her, that could be used to throw confusion onto a trial,

[ ... he looks thoughtful for a moment. ]

Anything's worth trying at this point.

... well. We're better than we were at the start, at least. We can recognize a lot more powers than we were able to before.

[ which is helpful ]

Baby steps, huh?

[ soda SIP ]

I'll take it over being completely in the dark.

[ he nods. ]

I doubt putting ink on the healing pods would work a third time.

[ he doesn't understand how it worked a second time ]

[ it's a mystery. or a misatery. ]

The pods are still the most likely place we're going to catch someone. That or on the door of the medbay itself.

It was a good idea. We maybe just... need to shake it up a little bit and mess with expectations.

Think of another way to set up a trap with it...

Can't set it up directly in the pod, because it'd heal injury... but it wouldn't get rid of ink, would it?

... I'm not sure? That feels like something we'd have to rest out, but I'm leaning towards no.

[ laughs at thursday distractions ]

If the method works, it might not be a bad idea to set things up differently but keep the marking process the same. The... door of the medbay, if people can be aware enough of the time, maybe?

Or we find another substance to use as the marking? Instead of ink.

Such as?

The ink's difficult to rub off, so I get why it's been used so much.

There has to be other things that are also difficult to get rid of.

But if they're expecting ink, then using something else should work, too.

A... smell, maybe? Gu Yun said he has a good nose, but you might be able to cover a smell up enough that it wouldn't be definitive.

I wonder if it would count as evidence? That supposedly gets preserved, so.

... Ah, it might do then. If someone had a bottle of ... something strong smelling from the spa dumped on them it might still be there until trial.

[ he nods ]

We could see what could work.

If the spa has perfumes in large quantities, that might do it. But it would be especially obvious, if we were going for subtlety.

[ also me fuckin'. squinting at francy. ]
