[ oh...buddy. it's okay, he's going to pause just slightly and focus on shifting his feelings to a little more calm and stable for that reason. ]
I'm getting really tired of having to expect the unexpected when this entire game has been nothing but unexpected. [ annoyed! unhappy! he is actually not Cool with that. but...he pauses. ] Noise are attracted to people. But it's still hard to think about the fact it happened at all.
[ sometimes you have violent reminder flashbacks of your not so concealed trauma on emotionshare week! it's fine! he's fine! absolutely not thinking about it!! which is why he's frowning mightily about the noise situation instead ]
[ he pauses, and in spite of all the static yelling there's a blip of surprise and then incredible fondness because wowee someone can keep up with his train of thoughts. what an absolute change from the 'SHIZUN HELP ME' ]
Yes, exactly. I hate to think we aided this farce in any way but.....
[ help, that's fair. jonas seems a little surprised by the surprise feedback, but he blinks slowly as he tries to dig through his head. ]
Ruby told me that the Noise are attracted to our souls. It's so much more obvious to find all of us in one place, plus with how loud everybody was feeling... [ he's not sure he wants to acknowledge it, but hard to think otherwise. ]
[ you'd think he would have talked to the reapers about how this shit works already but no, sometimes you are just vibing. and with all of his inside vibing echoing out, it's no wonder he hasn't been thinking too hard through things. ]
Ah... In that case...
[ it's incredibly likely. especially on weeks like this when there are other effects in play. he rubs his nose ]
We'll have to be extra vigilant if we have more weeks like this where everyone is much more... [ emotionally volatile? ]
[ listen, he's not going to fault anybody for not talking to the reapers about stuff like this. it's fine. he does seem to agree with that though. ]
...we'll definitely have more weeks of this stuff, but how people react is really going to depend on who gets erased next. That's the tough part about all of this. I don't think any of us expected Buzen still.
[ all he's managed to do thus far was get his team a weeks worth of rice and tea bags. I'm not about to break this trend. ]
Yes.... I do expect that to be the hardest part. [ which really just means he's rubbing his forehead again because goddamn it ] So either way, there is no easy method of keeping safety in mind with these weekly happenings. And it's not like we have the means to craft talismans to keep anyone protected from outside harm.
The only thing we could even maybe do is suggest that if watching the erasure is going to upset them because of who's involved, people should leave right away. But I think we both know that won't happen at all. How long would it take to craft talismans if we had the materials anyway?

The output might be different depending on the location but otherwise qi is the same thing as chakara, the force, and every other spiritual power a person can cultivate within themselves.
Like Star Wars... [ no. or yes? that's about his own understanding and he looks pretty intrigued by the concept. ]
So with your qi you can basically use it to channel as much power into whatever you want and make yourself stronger. Something like that? [ frown. ] No wonder they blocked it off here.
Well, with training, pure grit, and a whole bunch of luck, yes. Even I'm only mid tier. [ he says this like that doesn't still grant him heavy benefits, tch. ]
That's still better than literally anything I could think of, so consider yourself ahead. [ a pause. ] Sword flying as in...controlling swords to fly? Or flying on a sword like a hoverboard?
