If evening the playing field was their intention, perhaps that's why so many of us ended up with "Drift Aura" and "Healing Aura". Depending on how the teams are divided up, most teams could end up with someone who could use at least one of them, if not both.

[factoring]

Nine Healing Aura, and eight Drift Aura and 10 teams to make with the 40 players.

[dendroculi]

I thought it was ten...? Ah, but Kaveh and I are teaming up, so it's essentially nine.

[factoring]

[She pulls it up on her phone and double checks.]

So it is.

[This is why you should always double check numbers.]

So you've already gotten part of it sorted out.

[dendroculi]

Yes. He's one of my people, so it's my responsibilty to make sure he gets home safely.

[factoring]

Your people?

[dendroculi]

[she nods]

We both come from Sumeru.

[factoring]

Is Sumeru a planet?

[dendroculi]

It's a nation in the world of Teyvat.

[factoring]

Interesting. I'm from the world of Earth.

[dendroculi]

I've met a few people from "Earth," but it seems like each of them are from different worlds from each other. I wonder how many Earths there are.

[factoring]

Quite a few, it seems. I've met some people who've heard of Earth, but call it the Old World. I wonder what makes the setting so popular.

[dendroculi]

That's a good question. Well... the people who come from Earth are all very interesting, so maybe that's why.

[factoring]

Do you think so?

[Some of us are very normal.]

[dendroculi]

[I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU]

Well... at least the people I've met from Earth so far have been.

[factoring]

[:) Some :) of :) us :)]

It's an interesting place full of people and variations.

[dendroculi]

That may be why so many of you were chosen for this Game, then.

[factoring]

I don't know if it'll grant us any particular advantage.

[dendroculi]

Hmm... it probably won't. Even if you were all from the same Earth, not knowing each other to begin with means you have to put just as much work into getting to know them as you would someone from any other world.

[factoring]

At least I'm familiar with phones.

[And they aren't a completely foreign thing or the most ancient technology that has ever existed.]

Even if the capabilities seem limited.

[dendroculi]

Limited...? So they do more on Earth?

[factoring]

The video app usually isn't restricted to 6 seconds. Phones would allow for connection to the internet, along with an app store to add more options.

[dendroculi]

[ ? ]

The... "internet"?

[the sound of the word calls something to mind for her (interconnected network, maybe), but she wants to be sure before she assumes.]

[factoring]

A global system of interconnected computer networks that communicate between networks and devices. Essentially, a network of networks.

[dendroculi]

[aha! nahida's eyes light up. so it is similar to the akasha.]

I see... it's a shame it doesn't work on our phones. I would have loved to try it out.
