[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

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

[apiarycryptonaut]

Um I don't think... I go 4nywhere, no.
I just st4rt- no... no no no, oh.
Focused, yes, must focus!

I've 4lre4dy solved four... puzzles for tod4y, yes!
I think I c4n... be re4lly focused, m4ybe.
W4it no, yes, I... c4n, 4bsolutely, I will!
Th4t's my go4l, yes!

[soundtricks]

it was a rhetorical question, Avispa
seriously, how ~do~ you even manage sometimes♫

if you say so
just don't say I didn't warn you if you go and distract yourself and then get yourself hurt

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh, oops, um, somehow!
Yes, yes I m4n4ge... somehow, th4t's 4 good... expl4n4tion, 4bsolutely, I think.

I 4bsolutely won't get... hurt, no w4y, no.
4nd I'll be prep4red... 4nd will fight, yes!

[soundtricks]

...somehow
right
okay then

alright Avispa
I believe you

[apiarycryptonaut]

Ok4y, y4y, I think... good, yes Zur4he, y4y!

[soundtricks]

have you alchemized any weapons yet♫

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh, um, no, not... yet no, I think.
Just some puzzles, yes!
M4ybe I should 4lchemize... we4pons, um, more th4n... just one, I think?

[soundtricks]

probably a good idea, yeah

[apiarycryptonaut]

Ok4y I will, yes!
Multiple we4pons, m4ybe, yes?
Yes! So I'm prep4red!

[soundtricks]

multiple weapons is a good idea, yeah

[apiarycryptonaut]

Um but I don't... re4lly know other we4pons.
Should I just m4ke... my stillettokind bigger, m4ybe?

[soundtricks]

maybe you can make them more dangerous♫

[apiarycryptonaut]

Um you me4n, m4ybe...
... ... ... ...

Oh oh oh oh.
W4it, oh, I think... I know wh4t I... c4n do, yes, m4ybe!
I'll h4ve to try!
I think they c4n... be spiked or segmented... m4ybe sort of, yes?
Or m4ybe e4sier to... hold 4nd use, m4ybe.

[soundtricks]

sure
whatever you want
they're gonna be ~your~ weapons after all

[apiarycryptonaut]

So we4pons th4t 4re... e4sy for me, yes!
I c4n do th4t!
This is 4n 4bsolutely... excellent ide4, I think!

[soundtricks]

yeah
it'd probably be for the best really

[apiarycryptonaut]

Then um m4ybe th4t... will improve my, um... "duelogr4phic" I think, yes!
Which is good, yes.

[soundtricks]

sure, if you're gonna listen to anything this guy says

[apiarycryptonaut]

"This guy", Zur4he, m4ybe?
You me4n Perrix, m4ybe?
Um why would I... not listen to him?
Isn't he on our... te4m 4nd, um, m4ybe?
