[101] Video

[The camera slides down along the length of their door, starting from the number (712) to wear a decapitated plush horse head lies on the floor, stuffing still bulging from the, er, wound.]

Incredibly mature. Is someone trying to tell me something?

[Camera off.]

[Private to Gren/Unhackable.]

Twentry-four hours. You can do it.

If there's anything I can do to help, Gren, please let me know.

Quid pro quo, then?

We were looking for Cissnei and we'd deduced she was in a private residence. He wasn't supposed to touch, but I suspect his fuzzy egomania got the best of him. Other than that, yes, the timing was coincidental. I'm grateful for what you did for Reno.

Now, what about Cait?

That's what Reno said, too. If you two weren't friendly I wouldn't believe you, but you are, so... fine.

To cut a long story short, Cait Sith is famous, and there is merchandise. On lots of worlds other than yours. You can buy it normally, except that probably the City will steer you away from it.

Well, if you have toys of him you should know that he doesn't have a devious bone in his body. What you're accusing him of is so far beyond him...

Famous how?

Infiltrates AVALANCHE, double-crosses them and steals the keystone, gives it to Turks, then double-double-crosses and joins AVALANCHE again by holding Barret's kid hostage. A perfectly clean record.

I can tell you more about how he's famous, but you'd have to promise not to tell your friends without due care. It's a little mind-bending. I'm pretty sure Reno already knows, though.

That wasn't Cait, Konata, that was me.

--Explain, please.

A lot of people in the City are featured in works of fiction in other worlds. Including me. AVALANCHE has a famous video game, covering the moment where Cloud joins them to the death of Sephiroth. Cait's role is included. Like I said, probably people are steered away from seeing their own goods by the City. But if someone forces it under your nose, you can notice. Apparently I have my own comic book.

Do you know if anyone here actually does have the Hades summon?

That's -- oh.

None of us have summons.

Some people don't take it very well. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. Be careful.

The Hades lookalike might be a coincidence. It might not. I don't know any details, other than that there have been three victims so far.

My girlfriend was one of them.

You must mean Anita. I didn't know that.

Any connection to the third victim, a vampire named Lestat?

We're acquaintances. He's Anita's ex-boyfriend.

For the last time, I didn't do this. We know who did.

Lestat and Reno have no connection that I can see, but both are connected to Anita, who was the first victim. If Anita is the key, then other people who are close to Anita and might be targeted include...



How's your conscience, Reeve?

You don't like coincidences, love, do you?

He seems to be selecting his victims at random. He's some kind of vigilante, from what we've seen.

He does seem to be a vigilante, but victims at random? How do you know that?

Haven't you noticed every attack has been in the same place? If he's singling out individuals, why is he waiting for them to maybe wander by?

Huh. No, I didn't know that. I only heard about the first two attacks on the network, secondhand. This is the first time I was actually involved.

But a lot more people with dirty consciences must walk through the square than just Anita and two people she knows. It could be a coincidence, but it could also not. I guess you should stay away from the square for a while.

I've already been killed for being a traitor. Anything else is just overkill.

If you say so.

Hmm. Looks like you were right, though. Apparently the first three targets' relation was just a coincidence.
