Here's another thing that's bugging me (though maybe faust can't help me with this one). On D2, joth and Joseph each claim to have a piece of the statue (I think). At this point, joth has already decoded the notebook, so he's a treasure hunter, looking for more pieces. Joseph does the predictable, logical thing and steals joth's piece. But joth doesn't steal Joseph's piece. Instead, (according to faust and eevee,) he steals faust's piece. Did he know faust had a piece? He definitely knew Joseph had one. What's up with that? Did faust give joth the piece, and actually joth had no ability to steal? All ideas are welcome.
Does the timing work out in that it was already known that Joseph had a piece?
Anyways my assumption has been that scum has an item Cop. That doesn't seem all that unlikely in this setup. They copped me N1 and then stole.
I think it was already known. I plan to go back and czech.
Your assumption leads me to another question. What exactly did joth want with all these owl pieces? Did he want to win alone and ditch his buddies, or is there some other use for the statue in scum hands? Joth flipped as a goon, implying that he had no special stealing powers. So probably if scum can steal, it's a factional thing? So joth is running about the place, using mafia's factional steal to get owl pieces for his own personal win? I mean...
Plus, last night scum didn't steal Joseph's piece. So have they stopped chasing the owl?
I can't even keep track of the things I don't get at this point.
