[A little shake of the head.]

You're not going to burst into flames like before, Emet-Selch. You'll be alright. I believe in that.

[ktiseos]

[he huffs out a breath, leaning more heavily against the wall.]

Yes, yes, that is quite enough of that for now, I've heard your opinion quite clearly.

[fleshedout]

Ha.

[Now that's more of an amused noise, but yeah, she'll back off.]

...We were down to the wire there, though. I don't think...we would've figured out anything if Percy hadn't stepped in.

[ktiseos]

Nor do I. And in Chinatsu's case...

[it felt like they had even less.]

[fleshedout]

I still don't understand what might have caused those wounds...

[...Hm.]

Say, Emet-Selch. I don't remember. Have you traded for a three-token gumball yet?

[ktiseos]

I have not, no. Why do you ask?

[fleshedout]

Because Chinatsu, when she told me she did, she said that she got a gumball...and something else. She wouldn't explain exactly what that something else was at the time, but I learned later that it gives you access to another application.

...It's how Kashuu got back his sword.

[ktiseos]

...and as most of us have now earned at least three, by the start of this week, there is no telling what others may have had access to in actuality.

[a little huff of frustration. damn it.]

[fleshedout]

Exactly. There's a whole variable out there that we can't account for. And people can lie about the amount of tokens they have, too. There's no way to verify that.

[More frustration to add to the pile.]

[ktiseos]

All we have, then, is ensuring we track claims made from week to week, and hoping they make a mistake should they lie.

[fleshedout]

Yes, that's really the only solid thing we can lean on.

...I'm planning to do that this week. Get a three-token gumball. I want to get my Stand back, so I can help the others. If you have some ability or something that can help...I'd ask you to consider it.

[ktiseos]

...I will consider it, at the least.

[he can at least promise that much.]

But I may not be able to obtain something truly useful to us as a whole.

[fleshedout]

That's alright. Even if its useful primarily to you...I think its good to have things that we're familiar with.

We need to gain back a little control in this place, somehow.

[ktiseos]

So we do. Especially in times such as this.

[fuck this in particular.]

[fleshedout]

Especially.

...Either way, get some rest. Tomorrow is going to be a different picture than what we know. Combat...I think we can expect the worst.
