No, that's just an unfortunate perk of talking to as many people as I do. [He runs a hand through his hair.] This questioning thing is a lot harder when we're starting from ground zero.
[Hm...] So. Something that can target one person, it can help or hurt them, and it doesn't involve items or notes.
...yours is different than anything you've ever done before.
No. Not quite. I've done it in one part of my life, but just the once.
[Hmm. Getting to know what people are up to, targets an individual, doesn't know if it helps keep them alive . . . am I writing this for my sake, yes.]
[He shakes his head.] Still just a part of me being...me, I guess. But it can help to know that part.
[One part of his life was something similar, it can help or hurt one person...admittedly he doesn't know as much about Haymitch as he wants, but. He ponders.]
Yours involves potentially mercy-killing someone. [A shot in the dark? Yes.]
But okay.] In short? Yes. But it's not just about that.
Yours allows you to...plant evidence or meddle with our crime scenes. Manipulate the environment around us somehow. [Target one person to either help hide a murder or pin a murder on them.]
...[His eyes light up a bit.] You can check the places they've gone, and that's how it can help or hurt. You can prove if they were near a crime scene or a locked room or...whatever.
People then. [WOW. GOD. THAT TOOK SO LONG. There's a pause...and he laughs to himself.] Pretty sure we just went for more than twenty questions.
So that's it. Once a week, you can pick one person and see who they've spoken to over a period of time and assess who they know and who might be responsible for any potential deaths.
More or less, yeah. It's not as detailed as that, but yeah, that's more or less it.
Hey. Ever play hot and cold?
[Maybe that's the way to do this (because he's not giving up til he gets his role, damn it). Twenty questions coupled with hot and cold. Twenty . . . hot and cold . . . ]

You know, I didn't actually set out to solve another mystery today. [Wry.] Yours involves getting to see who slept with who.
