[ the funniest part of communal thoughtshare is that even in pc there's probably like, 6 other people overhearing them. however, with the convenient power of pc, we don't have to worry about that!
they'll just go wander for now, and maybe get coffee they can doctor with more alcohol later but anywhere but the stank vibes right now ]
I will be truly grateful when we are done with this.
[ it's the true gy way. only funnier if they roll up tomorrow with a bottle in each hand, shutter shades firmly on. ]
With both Justice and Froggy still in play, I think we'll have enough points to win but... It leaves very few on that side if anything were to attempt to prevent it.
[ cause like, sure everyone has abilities and knows how to use them (mostly) but who really left knows how to fight?
it worries me, to consider how this will effect things. ]
...the potential problem is the spread of the points. It's only the points of the team that comes in first that can be used.
Even if, together, they would have enough... if the cost goes up enough because of the number of bodies, there's a chance that the points earned by the victor won't be enough to offset the total cost, if the culprits are all from different teams. For all that they can be used, the points of every team other than the one in first place might as well be zero.
[I don't know exactly how that math works, though, so maybe I'm worrying too much...]
[ sqq is chinese and thus can probably figure this out while they walk (no) ]
Even using the point stealing, it's very possible our numbers might be just short leaving us scrambling to fill in over the week with whatever methods we can. The game truly is sitting in a place where it can go either way right now and I think it can be said it will be a Very Long weekend until the scores for next week go up.
...we'll see what we can do. Nightingale said that they would be looking for the right time to transfer the points, as well. So that the sudden jump wouldn't be noticed as something odd.
Mm. They did say that this would likely be the last time there was a trial, though... so, there would be fewer opportunities for a large jump in points to look organic.
[...]
But they're the ones with the best understanding of the framework of the game and when it would be safe to transfer them. We'll just have to trust them.

...it's almost over, at least. From what Nightingale said, tomorrow will be the last trial.
[Which is concerning. With four more people dead, how much higher will the cost to get everyone out of this become?]

no subject
how? who knows! but if he worries about it right now, he might as well just lay down and stay dead. ]
As the final week begins, I imagine the chances of it being less noticeable will be much easier to fiddle with.
[ it's not cheating if it's for the greater good! ]

I suppose we have little other choice.

...it seems like that may be all we can do.

I shall just twiddle my thumbs then, until the moment arrives we can do something other than clutch our handkerchief and look sadly out the window.

There is only so much time left.

Nahida-?
[ that sure is a brain blast happening? oh no? he quickly drops to his knees in front of her and reaches for her hands?! why do you do this to me ]
no subject
I - I'm sorry.

Are you alright?
no subject
...I'm okay. [...] Is this another loop...? The universe - it collapsed...

You're in the original timeline. [ I hope ] We haven't experienced anything like that yet.

[she takes a somewhat shaky breath.]

Similar to how my group would strangely freeze and glitch every so often, hm....?
no subject
Yes, very much like that. So... it won't be permanent. I know that.
