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...

Ah. Yes that would be very feasible. We'll have some stuff left over from deconstructing chairs, we could use that to cover up explosives.

A Nav can cover a telepathic signal and I suppose someone with fire powers or a lighter could trigger the explosives if needed...They'd still have to be close though...

Yeah, they'd be at ground zero. Fire, electricity, something to cause a spark. There will only be about a second, maybe two before the spark reaches the fuel and everything blows, depending on exactly what we're using, but after that it's just a matter of outrunning the blast. It'll be fine, I'm trained in free-running.

[Maybe if this weren't mental he'd be a bit less casual, a bit more clear, but he absolutely has been thinking through the whole scenario with himself on ignition duty.]

[Why is every child in Guts life so desperate to die. The drop in his stomach is nearly audiable, along with the uncensored ] Not again

[Deep breaths Guts, deep breaths. He takes a break to kill a few rats. The blood calms him down a little.]

You... [He is so tired of this conversation. He takes a deep breath. ] ....Aren't you a little young for a suicide mission.

[theserpentsmiles]

How do you know about the grenade thing? [It's a gut response, Morty hadn't mentioned his first real assassination attempt to anyone, not in any words clearer than 'I blew up'. Logic weighs in moments later, suggesting that it must be a reference to something else.]

I'm fifteen. I'll be alright; it's only a suicide mission if I plan on dying.

[blackdogdown]

The...grenade...thing...? [The words are hard to dicipher over the sheer amount of frustration churning through the link. Its not exactly directed at Nagisa though, more at an overall hatred of the world.

Luckily for Nagisa, 15 registers as adult to Guts, so he reluctantly relents. Saved by midlands high death rate!]

Fine... Don't let any of the younger ones in on this. The bait things is bad enough.

...But seriously...grenades?
