[S] Perrix: Coordinate.

[callouslystalwart]

You are again PERRIX SEIYOS.

Now that things are a bit more calmed down after you managed to get into the game proper, you decide to take a break from constant STRIFE to gather some very important information. See, you're only vaguely familiar with most of your fellow PLAYERS. Even out of the ones you know, you're not terribly familiar with their level of COMBAT PROWESS. Your own COMBAT PROWESS is quite honed if you say so yourself (and you do. Often.) but as this will clearly be very important to the GAME at hand you decide that it would be helpful to take stock.

Yes, you think it is quite time that you all GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. To DEFEAT... The HUMANOID NPCs.

-- callouslyStalwart [CS] RIGHT NOW opened memo DUELOGRAPHICS. --

CS: It occurs to ~me~ that while fighting is clearly a key aspect of this game... ~~CS
CS: Some of you may not be versed in the art of altercation as ~I~. ~~CS
CS: Therefore, ~I~ think it is of the utmost importance that ~we~ identify ~our~ roughhousing resources. ~~CS
CS: ~Our~ group's DUELOGRAPHIC, if you will. ~~CS
CS: So. ~~CS
CS: Who of ~us~ can fight? ~~CS
CS: How well? ~~CS
CS: For those that can't, ~I~ suggest ~we~ put together a crash course on clashing. ~~CS
CS: To begin, ~I~ am more than capable of both handling ~myself~ and teaching others. ~~CS

I swear to fuck
if you really expect me to teach any of these idiotic grubfuckers something they shoulda learned a long time ago
like, oh I dunno, NOT BECOMING CULLBAIT
then you got another thing coming

if they can't fight, then they can die, simple as that
nothin' like learning on your feet to teach you not to fuck up, after all

[callouslystalwart]

While ~I'd~ normally agree with such a sentiment... ~~CS
The rules of this game seem a bit different. ~~CS
We may need as many living players as possible. ~~CS
It's also possible that some of them possess unique abilities necessary to progress! ~~CS
YOU don't have to teach them anything, though... ~~CS

[soundtricks]

so not only do these halfwits get to SURVIVE
they get to have the rest of us CODDLE THEM because we might NEED THEM♫♪
oh what
the fucking
HELL♫♪♪

[callouslystalwart]

Who said anything about coddling? ~~CS
The only way to perfect the sweet science is in the school of hard knocks! ~~CS
~I'll~ be taking a more practical, hands-on approach. ~~CS
Hell, go beat them up (without actually culling them) yourself if you think they're so useless. ~~CS
At least they might learn something from the experience! ~~CS

[soundtricks]

can't be bothered
besides, I might cull 'em anyway

can't always control how strong I get
especially not if I'm pissed

[callouslystalwart]

Then go grind some imps until you calm down. ~~CS
~I've~ got your data for the demographic already anyway. ~~CS

[soundtricks]

can't do that either
kill 'em too fast now, so they stopped respawnin'
gonna go through the gate in a bit, see if there's anything worth killing on the other side

[callouslystalwart]

Let ~me~ know how that goes. ~~CS
Gathering information is important at this stage, too. ~~CS

[soundtricks]

...you know
I don't think you're even playing with us


Because you don't remember this guy being in the entry order.

[callouslystalwart]

You don't actually even know what your entry order was.

Well ~I've~ clearly survived the meteors and am in the game! ~~CS

[soundtricks]

clearly
but something ain't right here

[callouslystalwart]

How so? ~~CS
What do you mean? ~~CS

[austereastronomer]

For once, I must agree.
Based on what I know about this game, the challenges will be many and diverse.
It's best to cover all our bases.

[callouslystalwart]

Aha, thank you... ~~CS

[apiarycryptonaut]

I 4gree one-hundred... percent with you, yes!
Le4rning on your feet... is the f4stest w4y!
It's 4 little sc4ry... m4ybe 4nd re4lly re4lly... re4lly re4lly d4ngerous but... it's re4lly very effective!
But I don't w4nt... 4nyone to die, no.
So I think m4ybe... everyone should le4rn f4st... 4nd not die, yes!
Th4t's the best pl4n!

[soundtricks]

kusbir no offense but
shut up
unless you can put your caegars where your mouth is
don't say a damn thing
honestly you barely understood the requirements for being a troll
I don't wanna hear it unless you actually plan on fighting
which it ain't looking like you are

[apiarycryptonaut]

You do stop, although your fingers want to type a million things, but you pause. There was something very, very important in what Rara had said that you can't help but answer.

Um, Zur4he? I'll fight.

[soundtricks]

and why the sudden change♫

[apiarycryptonaut]

Well, um, I don't... w4nt to expl4in in... too m4ny words bec4use... you did s4y to... not keep t4lking, no.
But we do h4ve... to fight for the... g4me to win, sometimes.
It's p4rt of the... big puzzle, I think.
So I'll fight, yes.

Even if you really, really, really, really don't want to and it's really scary.

[soundtricks]

ugh, you're so dumb it hurts sometimes

you have to fight to ~survive~ idiot, not just to ~win~
don't think those imps will hesitate in kicking your ass just because you're not up to it♪

[apiarycryptonaut]

I don't w4nt to... die, I know th4t... definitely without 4 doubt.
So the solution is... re4lly very obvious, yes.
Live or die, m4ybe.
... ... ... ...

I should be more... prep4red 4g4inst surprise 4tt4cks... from me4nie imps, m4ybe?

[soundtricks]

the choices are pretty obvious to anyone who thinks about it for more than a minute

probably a good idea, yeah

[apiarycryptonaut]

Yes, even to me!
I'm gl4d this isn't... very confusing 4t 4ll.
I choose "live", just... to m4ke sure, yes.
I would never choose... "die", th4t's 4 b4d... option, it re4lly is.
I don't w4nt th4t... for me or for... 4nyone, if only it... w4sn't 4ctu4lly 4n option.
But m4ybe it c4n... secretly be 4 solution... sometimes, m4ybe, I think?
Just not for me... 4t 4ll, no no.
4nd not for you... Zur4he, not 4t 4ll.
Or for others either.
I don't know who... th4t would be secretly... 4 solution for, 4ctu4lly.
Oh, um, sorry, yes!

I'll focus on being... more prep4red 4nd surviving!
Th4t's the import4nt thing... so I won't get... distr4cted from it, no!

[soundtricks]

sometimes I wonder just what the hell goes on in your pan when you ramble like that
just really
where do you go, Avispa♫

if you can really manage that
it'll be a freaking miracle
don't get distracted by any puzzles on the way and maybe you can manage
