Very logical of you. I We had a talk about it too. I just told him that I wouldn't blow smoke up his ass about something if I was saying it, and - I don't know if it worked or anything, but he seemed to be better off after.
We're in agreement on all counts. And if you need any help, I'm happy to fill in until this is taken care of.
What I would really like to know is who else had Aphrodite's Arrow. I want to question that person. Will you put your mind towards resolving that with me?
Well. I'm a bit ahead of you on that one - I went through my notes earlier. In comparing the two times we asked, I found a few things. Do take them with a grain of salt, but I trust you will.
The powers listed were - 'oliver twist', blood boiling, a great deal of jealousy, the 'unholy hunger' of desire, temporary blindness, and aphrodite's arrow. Six powers, separated into groups of four. Admittedly, there could be another unknown power floating around - just to fill the math - but I wasn't aware of what Vlad or Steven had.
Let's assume that everyone told the truth. A poor assumption, but I'm not quibbling over those details right now. The people who didn't share their powers: Medb. Mahito. Sheila. Yuel. Grace. Eleanor. White. Meg.
Conveniently, there are six "slots" available of the powers we know, if we assume that each group of powers comes in four. 1 - Oliver Twist 2 - Jealousy 1 - Blindness 2 - Aphrodite
Which leaves 2 slots for our mystery power, which I would not be surprised is what cursed Aoi and meimei, if perhaps Vlad and Steven had the same one.
Eleanor mentioned this week that hers was a "harmless prank". So I think it was likely her, if the intent wasn't malicious.
[It's so nice to talk to someone who would also do this shit instead of having feelings.]
I spy no flaw in your work, and I agree with your assessment. Incidentally, I have reason to believe all of Unholy Hunger was telling the truth. So I think your assumption is correct - four to each power, and everyone who shared their power did so truthfully. I made the error at trial of suggesting the fourth claimant might be lying, but it likely had the positive effect of deterring anyone from making a false claim, knowing we were checking the numbers.
I will have a little chat with Eleanor. But I think it would be wise to track down what else we can, to identify who might have the mystery power. Sheila and Yuel will tell me if I ask. Grace likely will as well. White will be easy. Do you think Medb or Megara would tell you if you asked?
I do not think we should ask Mahito, even if you feel you have a good relationship with him.
Mn. Good, good. I think I can get it from Medb. Megara may be a bit harder, but I can probably find an angle.
...And I agree with you. Mahito is something of a wild card. There's... I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of the people we haven't caught. Call it a hunch.
His handprints were a match for the hot tub prints. He had a lot of marks on him that week. I have also learned he is someone to be wary of, but that it is important that he not suspect anyone is wary of him. He is more dangerous when he feels threatened.
Don't give anyone cause to think you're plotting something or suspect them personally. Be careful.
Please! My feelings are hurt, remember? I'm simply far too distraught to do anything useful. Just let me know. I have no roommates, now, either, if there's somewhere safe needed to talk.
