[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

oh my god Kusbir who let you in on the survival party

2/2

[soundtricks]

more importantly, who let you in on the survival party
without knowing how to fucking SURVIVE♫♪

[callouslystalwart]

Kusbir is quite useful in other ways. ~~CS

[soundtricks]

she's a nice kid
but 'useful' ain't really in the descriptors I'd use for what I know of 'er

[callouslystalwart]

If ~we're~ dealing with imps ~I'd~ much rather have you at ~my~ side. ~~CS
If ~we're~ dealing with riddles ~I'd~ take Kusbir any night. ~~CS
It seems that ~we'll~ be dealing with both in fairly equal measure in this game. ~~CS

[soundtricks]

no offense
but between you and me, ain't a riddle yet I ain't solved by beating the answer outta someone

[callouslystalwart]

Do these monsters seem particularly intelligent to you? ~~CS

[soundtricks]

not really
but who knows
this is a game right♫
so these are low-level monsters
the longer we play, the harder it's gonna get
it's common sense

[callouslystalwart]

Point. ~~CS
Still, ~we~ can't plan entirely based on 'what-if's. ~~CS
She will be useful. ~~CS

[soundtricks]

if she survives that long

[callouslystalwart]

Consider the other players resources if it makes you feel better. ~~CS
~We~ only have a limited number of players and combat is not the only focus of this game. ~~CS
If ~we~ protect the resources, maybe they can be made into something useful eventually. ~~CS

[soundtricks]

resources♫
~resources~♫♪
what the ~fuck~ is wrong with you♫
we're not fucking 'resources'♪
we're not fucking ~replaceable~♪
if one of us dies, then ~that's fucking IT~♪
whether they're useful or not isn't the point
but if we're gonna survive then everyone needs to either fucking grab their globes and stop being a bunch of FUCKING WRIGGLERS
or they should have let someone ~else~ play
someone who would have actually ~TRIED~ to keep themselves alive♪

[callouslystalwart]

Don't get all high and mighty on ~me~, Cadens. ~~CS
That was a hypothetical to try and make you feel better. ~~CS
At least ~I'm~ trying to see their inherent worth AS beings. ~~CS

[soundtricks]

oh that's absolute fucking CRAP♪
if they're worthless, then the only people who are going to change that is themselves♪
but you're not going to use us as tools in your stupid fucking highblood headgames♪

[apiarycryptonaut]

You don't even notice the point as it sails miles over your head. You know exactly what you're talking about!

Oh, well, I think... bec4use I'm not de4d?
Th4t me4ns I h4ven't... f4iled surviving yet, no.
Which is 4 good... thing, 4bsolutely, I think.
I think I c4n... keep surviving for sure!
Bec4use it's like 4... d4ily puzzle, m4ybe, th4t... ch4nges 4ll the time!

[soundtricks]

take note of the 'yet' there
this ain't a fucking ~PUZZLE~, Kusbir
this is live or die
don't fuck it up

[apiarycryptonaut]

I won't, I promise!

[soundtricks]

how can you even promise that
you don't even know how quadrants work♪

[apiarycryptonaut]

Trust me ple4se Zur4he?
I promise, re4lly, yes.
I re4lly, re4lly re4lly... re4lly promise, I do.
I won't mess up... You c4n't either, ok4y?

[soundtricks]

I'm not planning on messing up
it's kind of why I'm playing this game to begin with
after all, ~some~ of us were actually doing pretty good at surviving the real world

[apiarycryptonaut]

Th4t's good, it is!
I don't w4nt you... or 4nyone to mess... up 4t 4ll, no.
But um, yes, some... of us were, yes.
I s4w some th4t... didn't do so good.
I still remember it.
I didn't w4nt th4t... to be me, no.
Not ever, ever ever... ever, no w4y, no.

[soundtricks]

what do you mean saw some that didn't do so good♫

[apiarycryptonaut]

Before the g4me, yes.
Others ne4r my hive... 4nd ne4r my lusus... 4nd they didn't survive.
But I did see.
So they didn't do... so good 4t 4ll.

[soundtricks]

yeah well
the ones who were doomed from the go don't really matter to anyone playing this stupid game, do they
everyone only cares about themselves

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh um m4ybe, m4ybe?
I me4n I don't... w4nt 4nyone to die.
But I know no... one is doomed in... this g4me, no no.
We're 4 te4m, yes.
4nd we're 4ll 4live... so th4t's 4 ch4nce... to do more, yes!
