Telepathic message, during the Awakened battle
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...

Stop. If we all start arguing with one another, we're taking attention off keeping each other safe in the first place.
[A breath of a pause.]
There has to be a different way than putting some of us in more danger, too.
no subject
[ There's flashes of the dream, the swarming rats followed by the thing with all the tendrils and inky smoke. ]
The only way we are in more danger is if the idiots both try the same tactic. They need to combine it and stop arguing over details.
no subject
What . . . was that?
We're in danger if people keep arguing. If it's affecting me, it's probably affecting other people. We're not all used to it yet.
I just don't want anyone hurt. I'll do what I have to to keep that from happening.
[She does not like the idea of bait. But if she can be there to protect . . . at least that's something. And something does need to happen before they all wear themselves down too far to do anything.]
no subject
Take a deep breath, focus on staying alive, and worry about the rest after this is done. We're still learning too, and it's hard for us to do the same.
no subject
[He can probably catch a slow, slightly unsteady release of breath.]
Just tell me what I can do. When the time comes.
[It's an offer.]
no subject
[ Just so long as they are calm and can come help them. That's all Ankh asks. ]
I know this bait idea does not seem like a good idea, but we will wear ourselves out too fast at this rate and then we will have no more energy left for when it comes. We need to force its hands and then we'll have a chance.
What do you think you can do? Healers and buffers are needed the most, especially for those who will tank for us.
no subject
Do you have a healer nearby?
[Focusing on the important things.]
no subject
I am a healer. Or at least I can do it, anyway.
[Her mental voice is just a little shaky, worn.] I can manage. But all the arguing has to stop. There's enough to deal with as it is. And not everyone is even used to their powers or this kind of talking, which makes it worse.
Someone's going to get really hurt. And we all need to get out of this.
no subject
If it has a clear target and it has no interest in letting up on its rats without reason, then we can use that against it.
no subject
[. . . Yeah, not letting you off the hook, Chikusa.]
I don't like this idea of bait. I don't like risking anyone else. But . . . if I can do something to protect the others, if I can use healing . . . I'll go with it if I have to. We also have to do something before we're all worn down too far to do anything at all.
[It costs a bit to have to say that; she feels like she's betraying some principles. But she also can't deny the fact that something has to be done, and while she believes in a better solution, she doesn't have one -- and it'll cost them precious time to find it. Conan, Heiji, and others she cares about are in the middle of this. She has to think of that.]
no subject
[....The mature thing to do???? Regardless, it's not important right now. Chikusa move on.]
Technically, we're all at risk. All we can do is act fast and do what we can. If you're a healer, you'll be important, so expect to be called on.
no subject
With such little information ta go off of, we have no idea what the party in question wants other than who's already being targeted. Our stamina is bein' drivin' down, we don't have much time ta find alternatives, if there are any.
[ Sorry, Ran. He's not for baiting either, but they were limited. ]
no subject
[Finally:] I'll do what I have to to help keep people safe.
But no doing anything stupid or reckless.
And we have to find Conan-kun.
no subject
It's difficult ta gauge the situation. I'll do what I can.
[ Which actually included searching for Kudo, too. ]
