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...

[hachitaro]

[He's quiet for a few moments, before speaking up.]

I'll be the bait.

[kokuyoyo]

If you chicken out, it'll be annoying.

[hachitaro]

I'm not going to back down.

I'm already dead, so why the hell not?

[beastfang]

Has a way past the mist been figured out yet? If so we need to coordinate our efforts there in order to funnel as many of us as quickly as possible out of this corridor.

[kouteipenguin]

Not alone. I'll be with you.

[touketsu]

[Volunteers willing to be bait are one thing, but...]

We can't let anyone play that part undefended.

[hachitaro]

... Kid, don't be an idiot. It's dangerous. I'd rather one of us die than multiple people die. This is not a time to play hero, this is a time to take the chance to strike.

[hachitaro]

You want more people to die?

[kokuyoyo]

....I didn't say anything about dying....

It's a possibility but not a requirement...

[megacurious]

Are you sure about this? You will be risking your life if you do.

[kouteipenguin]

This isn't up for debate.

[kouteipenguin]

Rest assured. We won't.

[hachitaro]

It's dangerous. I'm squishy. I know the risks.

I'd prefer not to die, but If I do...

[touketsu]

I don't want anyone to die, that's the point.

[kokuyoyo]

If anyone knows, it would be Luci.

....Alternatively, we can always see what destruction of property gets us.

[Just fucking explode a hole in the wall, just do it]

[hachitaro]

I wasn't saying it was. Stay back, kid. Gonna need people to pick them off.

[hachitaro]

You mean the life I shouldn't have anymore?

News flash: I'm dead.

[hachitaro]

... Either one person gets hurt or a lot of people do.

Which one is better for the group?

[kokuyoyo]

Combatants and whatever Navigators are left will be on standby, obviously.

If we can position things right, then it can be a fake opening: letting it think it has a chance at grabbing something but getting trapped instead.

[beastfang]

I agree, there's no use in leading anything anywhere if the ones doing so are not given the cover needed to find a suitable place.

[forsteri]

I can't agree to this!

[Normally he'd be less vehement about this, but thoughts are harder to control.]

[kouteipenguin]

I need more range than I have or more room to maneuver than I get for my weapons to be as effective. I might as well be your backup.

[kokuyoyo]

....I'm starting to think we need someone more stable to be there with you...

[And hey if Kidou has already volunteered...]

[kouteipenguin]

... sorry, but you don't have to.

[megacurious]

Regarding the Navigators, I'll try to defend them as much as possible until the enemy reaches that location. Is that okay?
