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, Battler, Fie, Raven, Serph, and Vriska will find that bottle right there, waiting for them.
The message Battler, Fie, Raven, Serph, and Vriska 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 messages, 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:
Sirens.
And then he holds out five small notebooks, weather-worn and a little salty. Looks like they've been chosen for one of those roles that were mentioned. Good luck. |

...I hate everything about this, okay. If I could see any other way out, I would take it in a second.

You think any of us like this? The difference is that we're willing to do what needs to be done.

[Okay no that's it. That calm he'd just managed shatters as his shoulders jerk, and he squeezes his eyes shut in an attempt to keep the tears in.]
W-what the hell do you want me to do?

[Her voice is icy.]
The first time we met as a group, you told me that the rest of us might not have a problem with committing murder, but you do. You think I don't have a problem with innocent people dying? We all hate this, and you don't get to act like you're the only one who does just because you're more focused on yelling about things we can't change.

[He's just plain crying now. This is the guy who just a few moments ago was basically saying that cutting a person up and setting them on fire wasn't that big of a deal.]

[i am so sorry oh my god]

[And he's just going to turn his back to her and walk out because fuck this shit.]
no subject
Hey!
[When she speaks next, she's still furious, but there's something else in her voice as well. It sounds hurt, even if she's trying to hide it. More vulnerable than usual, to be sure.]
I don't care if you're pissed at me. You are never going to say anything like that to me again. Got it?

Huh? Why?
