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...

[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.

[blackdogdown]

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

[touketsu]

Mm. I don't like it, either...but I trust him. That's why I'll stand with him.

[blackdogdown]

[God its like talking to the old Griffith-smitten Guts, he wants to shake the damn kid awake. The flash of conflicting emotion, anger, guilt, all consuming fear is audible even the specifics can't be made out. ]

Just...

Just remember you pick what battlefield you die on Fubuki. Make sure you don't let anybody else choose it.

[touketsu]

[There's a sudden sharpness to that voice in his head...]

Maybe you should worry about yourself, old man. Only losers think about defeat.

[blackdogdown]

Damn, you calling me old? Want me to prove I'm not or something?

Sounds like you already picked to me.

[touketsu]

I don't care what you do, just don't get in my way.

[blackdogdown]

Who says I'm getting anywhere near your martyr party, idiot? You can have the stage.

[touketsu]

I'll try to save some for you. But I'm not making any promises.

[blackdogdown]

Oh. I'm sure I'll manage.

[Kouyuki/Fubuki is so hypercompetative. His self worth doesn't depend on doing better then you in battle you little gremlin. ]
