Swamped

Maybe you need to think a little more broadly. This person deals in information. Perhaps you can get a good talk with them if you convince them you know something potent they don't.

Which you probably do. You're from the future - you have some sense of what's going to happen. The thing is, most of your memories of this time are focused on yourself, so any prediction you made would take a few days, if not a few years, to come true.

But maybe if you make the right prediction - some outcome that would be possible, but difficult, to know in advance - that will do the job. Maybe they'll be curious enough about how you know that you can get a conversation out of that.

Wait - you might just remember something. There was a big fuss about some matter right after the festival ended. Something involving the town's mayor, you think?

Hells, why aren't the details coming together? This is your best shot. You concentrate and try to recall what it was.
