Telepathic message, during the Awakened battle

[kokuyoyo]

We're not getting anywhere. These things aren't the real threat, and they're only going to keep coming.

Second round, pay attention.

If your username had a wheel, immediately look for people who are murdering these things with apparent experience. Keep finding more of them. Make sure a group can keep you safe. Stay away from the lockers.

If you had a pair of blades, find the people being most targeted and defend them. If these things get rid of us Navigators, you'll die easily.

Do that immediately.

And for everyone... We need to lure the true form of our enemy out. These rats are just meant to exhaust us.

If we can find a way to a larger area like the gymnasium, we should set up bait. Since these things want Navigators so badly, some of us should be what sets the trap.

[There's the sound of a mental sigh that whispers through everyone's minds.]

Unless anyone has any better ideas...

I can do that. I know how a trap works. I may not have a wheel, but I know strategy.

[touketsu]

Don't call me an idiot, idiot. Wouldn't it be troublesome if a roof came down on our heads?

Besides...what if the fire doesn't effect it? Elements only seem to work sometimes.

[megacurious]

Well, I'll try to support the bait volunteers as much as I can.

The fewer casualties, the better.

[kokuyoyo]

Then pull yourself out of being bait and let others step in.

[kouteipenguin]

I won't back down from what I've said I'll do.

[kokuyoyo]

Aren't you the ones being stupid...? It won't be bait if a bunch of people are clustering around it.

[connivingbird]

So. Look like we are fleeing, Navis splitting up Combats running ragged, hit the gyms and then hope it comes out there.

I wonder if the spelled rats would damage it as well.

[connivingbird]

Always ask a firebird about fire.

[blackdogdown]

Bombs.

[Theres a hint of maniac glee in his tone. ]

Anyone with half a brain goes around a flaming wall. Its just instinct. Don't matter if the fire isn't working all the time, we wait to see when fire is working, then we throw the bombs.

[blackdogdown]

What you got more?

[connivingbird]

Scatter and draw it out by having the weaker ones end up isolated looking?

[kokuyoyo]

One of them almost got devoured by a rat.

[So Chikusa thinks he knows enough.]

[kokuyoyo]

You're ill fit for it.

[connivingbird]

some bottle rockets, those crappy kinds from firework sets. They may not pack a punch but they can be distracting.

[touketsu]

[Better off isn't quite accurate, but with so much happening, he doesn't have the time to think about it. None of it's caught up with him yet.]

I haven't forgotten anything. That's why I'm doing this. I wouldn't be a very good big brother if I let Kidou do something like this without me.

[connivingbird]

Yes, but can you act with a level head? You are being a little temperamental right now.

[blackdogdown]

Just as good if we mix em in with the real bombs. Leave the enemy confused on what they can or can't dodge.

[kokuyoyo]

Assuming we can get this group in order.

[Chikusa doesn't have faith, exactly.]

By "it", do you mean that larger creature?

[sociallyarcward]

Okay then...and I'm good at fighting monsters in small groups of people. A trap isn't going to work if you don't have someone in the wings ready to spring it. You don't just send all your important players without some kind of cover.

[kouteipenguin]

Oh? What would you qualify as 'fit' for this?

[kokuyoyo]

How can you think of a pun at this time...

[connivingbird]

Confusion is always fun to see when it's the other side, right?

Now to get this lot together enough to make it work.

[blackdogdown]

Glad to hear it, still a shitty idea of him to do this in my opinion.

[sociallyarcward]

It was more a metapho---is that really important?

[blackdogdown]

You got it.
