The message somehow ends up showing up in a bottle washed up against the shore actually. Which is a pretty weird way to deliver a message but of course, it's thematic. Naturally, it'll only show up when nobody else is around. When walking along the beach, Prussia will find that bottle right there, waiting for them.
The message Prussia receives is short and simple:
Need you for something. Come see me this evening. You'll know where to go.
- Hal
P.S. Put the note back in the bottle. Throw it back. I'll know if you don't.
And that's it. Of course, if they choose to listen to their message, they'll find a mysterious path in the jungle. They'll find the path as if guided to it, even though it won't be there if they try to show it to someone else later. And at the end of the path, they'll find a small hut, tucked against the jungle backdrop and the two Chiefs standing in front of it. Hal greets them with a flat look and a greeting:
Waylayer.
And then he holds out a small notebook, weather-worn and a little salty. Looks like they've been chosen for one of those roles that were mentioned. Good luck.
[ He looks delighted, which seems like this is why he picked you, Prussia. ]
You reassign Zuko this week, person who dies is Zuko Thursday night and Katara Sunday. That's the logic. Only two people to a team so Inuyasha just gains the partnerless spot Zuko already has.
[ But! ]
Next week it's a clean slate. Inuyasha is back to Katara. Zuko is back to being partnerless. No teams are broken. Then you come to me, tell me what you want this week. Pretty simple stuff.
[She doesn't like it, but it follows logic even she can understand.]
Zuko's gotta be on his own then this week. Can't risk somebody else getting killed 'cause the Sirens wanna avoid killing a lot of people. Nice bunch you must've picked there. Just as suited as my awesome self, huh?
I'm still gonna break Magilou and Lucina, though. Just in case.

Haha, just a bit. I like 'em, at least.
[ But okay, cool. ]
That's probably a smart choice, heh. Done and done! Anything else?

[So, no, nothing else.]

I'm giving you, personally, five bars of soap and three bottles of Meschkinnes. No one knows you have it so it's yours to do as you wish.
[ A jerk of his chin towards a small crate that's suddenly nearby. Hey, when did that get there? ]
no subject
[She actually looks like she might cry?? It doesn't take much, but German liquor is the way to do it.]
I'll leave the soap in the outhouse for everybody, though. I still got some of the cute fingerpaint soap.

Please don't, you'll ruin my reputation.
[ Look, sometimes robot logic just dictates that there's no real reason not to give Prussia Prussian booze when he knows she'll like it?? Come on. ]
Good to know. Enjoy your evening!
