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...

We'll have to have enough bunched up to be a good target, then.

The others will have to spread out.

You have to look weak enough to be targets. Injured. A wounded bird chirping away its pain to draw it out. And yes, there needs to be more.

[hachitaro]

I'm small and fuzzy and look pretty defenseless. The rest of you guys have at least like... three or four feet on me.

[connivingbird]

One is still not enough. Look, you need to let others in to help this or there won't be an end to the rats. We need the space and to take out whatever is driving it. You're small, others can be with you also weaken by whatever. A group staggering away from aid trying to get away from the fight? That will draw it out. It's what a eagle would do, see the wounded and then swoop down to pick the smallest of them.

[hachitaro]

Do not talk to me about birds okay. I have tengu problems.

... Anyway. I think the ones volunteering are kids. Easy enough to make it look like they got in over their heads.

[connivingbird]

How unfortunate for you that I am the King of Birds, now isn't it?

Good.

[hachitaro]

Just keep those tengu away from me.

[connivingbird]

Then contact the other volunteers and make them all understand that this needs to be clean. That would keep it away.
