I don't know for certain, but it seems like they should be able to fight back. It doesn't say anything about the aggressor getting an advantage.

[westedge]

There's also the part where there's forty of us. Don't you think if someone erased somebody else at least one of us would notice something?

[factoring]

The city is big, but we only have limited access to it. The real grounds for this game isn't huge. Even if somebody was alone when they're attacked, an unrelated should be able to hear the commotion.

[westedge]

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's a huge risk to pull when anybody could turn around and catch on before you can even get away from the scene.

[factoring]

It's hard to know the parameters when we've only just begun.

[Just waiting for something to happen makes her feel restless, but there's so little planning she can do like this.]

[westedge]

Even harder when we can't even figure out what to ask in a way the reapers can give us actual answers. [ which...ugh. he's not a fan of waiting either, but. ] At this rate...the only way we're really going to find out is if someone decides to act sooner than later.

[factoring]

Thursday will come quickly enough.

[Answers will come flooding in then.]

[westedge]

Three days from now. [ too quickly. ] ...let's see if we can come up with anything else to keep an eye on before then. It might not be a bad idea.

[factoring]

I don't know enough about everyone here to tell if they're being suspicious or not.

An option is to spread out and cover as much ground as possible. That does run the risk of being vulnerable to an attack. [ So maybe teams should pair up in twos while they're still able to do that ]

[westedge]

City's not too big right now, but if what they're saying is true that's going to change. There has to be a way to spread out without being too isolated. [ buddy system. ] Unless you get really good at using your psych to deflect anything that might come after you.

[factoring]

Go with one or your teammates. You'll be safer together than apart.

[ Her psych. Ah. ]

Something to practice over the coming days.

[westedge]

Alex and I always explore together. [ so...easy enough, he thinks. ]

Some of them seem like they might be harder to practice than others, so...we'll see how that goes.

[factoring]

Hopefully people don't go getting injured on a regular basis.

[westedge]

You could always test your abilities and just give people like...papercuts or something. Those are annoying.

[factoring]

[It might be an option but... It sounds annoying to do.]

[westedge]

[ a glance at her coffee. ]

Think healing would work on burns?

[factoring]

If it works on bones, it should work on burns.

[This is not hot coffee anymore.]

[westedge]

[ but there is hot coffee behind the counter...the possibilities.

he is not going to suggest it right now. ]

Tell me you haven't tested it on bones already.

[factoring]

Someone came in to this a bit injured.

[westedge]

Oh. [ surprised. ] I...didn't even notice. But at least you know what's possible.

[factoring]

It's good to test the possibilities.

[westedge]

Well if you test them far enough, I guess let me know? Out of curiosity.

[factoring]

We'll see how much I can manage.

[And see how bad cyoa 1 will be.]

[westedge]

Good luck. [ but he checks the time on his phone. ]

I should probably go. We'll talk later though, for sure.
