Not-- necessarily. Peach-san mentioned something... That while they would never consider Master Blue accessory to these murders, there could be accomplices in the cases.
It was a little hectic, so I didn't get the chance to ask her much more about it, but it means that it probably won't take that long. And that's...
[It's only assuming that they're meant to be wiped out, or very close to it. He's really not sure, after what they ran into today, that he wants to see what would happen with an actual accomplice to these murders. Especially if the rats didn't count. He quiets down a little more, taking a moment or two to think things over again.]
... Hmm. Pumpkin-san was very cagey when she was asked about those powers. Perhaps now that Nikki-san has been exposed, we'll be able to learn more. Is it a given that everyone has powers, though?
Haha... Yeah, it would be a lot more convenient if O'Connor-kun and I could both do that right now. I don't think the shadows that were following us around all last week counted for much. But -- not everyone I talked to mentioned powers, either.
[Head tilted thoughtfully, he takes out his notebook and flips through it a little. There's some notes on the profiles as well, but -- it goes without saying that not everyone would bother disclosing powers at first.]
We don't have any way of knowing when she received her power over rats. That might be something only the Master of the house would know for sure.
[Or the house itself. They're still not sure the house isn't Master Blue.]
Ah. Yes... I think that's pretty common if-- you know, we only take into account the world or the Earth we know. There are people here who don't seem to care about secrecy even among strangers like this. But at least where I come from... it's something regular people probably wouldn't recognize even if it was staring them in the face.
Not without a lot more explanation first, anyway.
[The top-secret life of a top-secret something or other for most of them, apparently...]
According to your theory, though, we were deliberately brought here only to have our abilities somehow cut off. Not only that, we're part of some kind of elaborate game-- [of Cloe] --that requires the even more convoluted step of giving us more and stranger abilities...
I can't say I really understand why anyone would go to such lengths.
I feel like only someone really powerful and really bored or-- or a god or demon with a lot of free time would be up to that. Um, apart from Mammon-san, I guess.
[Is Mammon really a good example of a demon. There goes his image of demons...................]
Either way... Do you mean like some kind of ritual?
[The mention of 'god' seems to make Chuuya slightly irritated, but he bites down on that as best as he can.]
I was thinking an ability-user, but there's people here like Mammon who are other things, right? So he could be something else. And I don't know enough about demons either.

So the question is, did Nikki have rat powers before, or did she get those here?

So maybe everyone here does have powers, and that's why we were brought here.

That or 'Master Blue' has some bullshit power that means he has to take all the extra steps here.
