We'd need a much more solid case to convince anyone to go along with that.

Yeah. People are trusting up to a point, but I doubt the trust would extend to something like that.

If we could just find a way to figure out where these messages are coming from, or get in touch with someone who has more power than the reapers...

[But how?]

We still don't know how we're getting them. Just that it's the group who get sent on a mission that does.

It all feels a little too pointed for me to think of it as a "technological glitch" like they said before.

My fear is that this is intended to push us toward violence purely so the "game" can proceed as intended
Kiichi essentially told me that that's what the calls are for


[So how can they take that risk? But Nahida pointed out waiting too long, too... ugh.]

Yes...

I'm afraid of that as well.

It's possible that the "game" has to function as intended for the things we want to happen to be able to happen. If it's all interconnected... but it's such a big risk to gamble on with other people's lives.

Hopefully Netzach, Shen and Livio’s teams come to the same conclusion. But given what’s happened, I don’t know if at least two of them might not seize on the idea of bringing back what they lost.

[personal profile] dendroculi 2023-07-10 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I feel like it's likely that they might.

...for the most part, I trust them. But... I have not been able to shake my doubts about Simon, even though I do believe his team means well.

[I really thought britt's tag was real]

I think it's more a matter of
everyone would have to mutually agree to sacrifice themselves for the winning team if it turns out this is all fake, or if we didn't gather enough points in the end

[Let Nahida call people assholes]

I don't know.

[A delay.]

But I think Nahida's right. We don't want to rush into anything, but we're running out of time. We need to confirm the truth of this information to the best of our ability, and we need to see if we can glean any specifics whatsoever about what we're working with. The points we'd need for revival, how much erasures are worth, any possible extra tasks we can do, if it's possible to transfer points--anything we can possibly learn.

After that, it may simply be a leap of trust.


[He really doesn't think they'd get everyone on board with electing a winning team ahead of time, but... he knows that some people, at least, would agree to try, if it meant dying for the hope of a greater good.]
