[His first post is voice.]

Say, to all you magic-users! I'm curious. How did you learn your art? I suppose this applies to anyone with an "unnatural" ability as well.

[The second is a text post under his name, posted an hour after the above.]

I have a puzzle for you, Exsilium. But that's not fun enough, is it? Let's make it a game! I'll pay the first three people who solve it 10✥... no, up to 50✥! The first one gets a special prize! Isn't that exciting? (⌒▽⌒)☆

[Attached to this post is this diagram.]

Now, here is the situation! There are three houses. Each house needs electricity, gas, and water. The goal is to connect the houses to their utilities by drawing lines. It's easy, right? Very easy!

But there's a catch! None of the lines can intersect. But even with the handicap, it's a simple puzzle. I'm sure you can all crack it in no time!

Respond with your answers. Be sure to lock them, so there won't be any cheating~ 1✥ will buy you a hint.

I look forward to rewarding the winner!!

You didn't guess.

[duplicitoussight]

But I figured it out, didn't I??

[clinical]

I have no way of knowing until you state your guess. It isn't fair to make me make an inference.

[duplicitoussight]

Hmm...
My guess is...
That Kido was talking about me!

...this is still all locked and in text but I AM NOT C&PING THAT EVERY COMMENT ANYMORE /rebel

[clinical]

Congratulations, Kano.

Boss Kido wanted to know how she could lead a group that also included her friends.

[Jade calling her 'Boss' irritates him for some reason.]

That's a strange thing to ask you about. [No italics for emphasis, but the sentence is already lathered with dislike as it is.]

I admit I don't get it~
We've been friends for the longest time~

[clinical]

You must be very close.

[duplicitoussight]

[Intentionally vague:]

I'd be surprised if you hadn't picked up on it.

[clinical]

Kido didn't share much about your histories.

[duplicitoussight]

We're childhood friends. We grew up together. It's simple and boring.

[clinical]

I imagine it follows common patterns.

[duplicitoussight]

(・_・ヾ Patterns?? lol you really are a scientist!

[clinical]

Both scientists and soldiers rely on understanding the way patterns apply to their present situations. （＾ｖ＾）

[duplicitoussight]

You really are reading too much into it!! ＼（＠￣∇￣＠）／
Growing up together isn't anything special~

[clinical]

I'm surprised, then, that you brought it up. (‘◇’)?

[duplicitoussight]

It's because you seemed to wonder about why we were such good friends! （＾_＾）

[clinical]

I don't wonder at all. A gang is like a family, I've been told. （＾_＾）

[duplicitoussight]

So it is, so it is!
I'm glad to see that you understand~

[clinical]

This apparently makes it easier for them to survive prison.

[duplicitoussight]

Does it?! ∑(O_O；)
Uwah... I wouldn't know anything about that...

[clinical]

How fortunate. Kido has done an impressive job of keeping you out of prison so far. Of course, it will be harder on you when you're older, but I'm sure you'll adapt.

[THAT'S A REALLY RUDE ASSUMPTION TO MAKE YOU OLD HEARTLESS FART]

Hey now, hey now!
I wouldn't be so reckless. You definitely judge others too quickly.

[clinical]

I have faith in your resolve.

[that's the part you meant right?]

[duplicitoussight]

[That's a surprise.]

I see. That's a nice thing to hear.
