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 don't remember seeing a wheel next to your name, Jaune.

You're not what they want. Stand down.

[Oh look. Telepathy comes with thoughts that Jaune can't stop. How fun.]

Yeah and I don't remember you being aware of all this for more than a few hours, either. I'm not asking to be bait. I just wish my friends weren't so freaking willing to ALWAYS SACRIFICE THEMSELVES AND LEAVE ME SITTING ON THE SIDELINES. I'm not doing that again.

This is supposed to be a trap, remember? A trap needs an element to actually attack, to come down on whatever it is your trapping. That's not the bait's job. It's not just you and Kidou that will need to be there.

[hachitaro]

Because you're the kind of person the world needs more of. There's more than one way to help protect people.

Just... don't get hurt, okay?

[sociallyarcward]

[That's...well he hadn't expected that kind of reply. It stops Jaune in his mental tracks. You might even be able to feel the surprise. Finally Jaune thinks back]

I'll do my best.
