Too much crossover. I thought it was kind of obvious by the end when the locations were overlapping, and blades that could’ve killed Albedo were found in the same place Lillium died.
[ and the flower, but. y’know. ]
Guess we’ll see if that one person left theory holds up. [ not that she’s particularly scared by the thought it might not or anything. ]
Fair enough. ...I imagine Kogitsunemaru sound Lillium on his way back to the rest of us and that's when the fight broke out. I doubt he'd care so much about being found out if the signs added up.
[ ... ]
You're too well-liked for people to go after you, first of all. And secondly nobody's stupid enough for a team wipe now. Not when we're so close, and only one team has to move.
Probably not. Still, from a logical stand point, it's not like I can be killed. Goat has a harddrive of my day by day account of everything here, in case something did happen. Ryuki could just reupload my memories when he got home.
[ the irony is, she really would've been a ideal choice for this. ]
...wait seriously? I didn't know you were doing a back-up since you got here. Not that I don't think that's smart, but even with the hard drive that's still not really a great reason to pick you. Logical standpoint or not, people still need you.
Once people started dying and the tech shop opened up, yes. It's not fool proof, but it lets me know what happened every day so I wouldn't be completely lost to what had happened.
[ i was going to say "I WAS ASLEEP" but no i wasn't i just remembered i didn't reply bc you'd yell at me. ]
Never heard of it. [ unsurprising. ] But it doesn't hurt to have back-ups. I sort of wish I could do similar for my own brain sometimes, but that never works out.
[ but he snorts. ] We're all ready to fight the moon, and I don't care if it hears me say that or not. I'm waiting for it to come back down and actually face us. [ ... ] ...I keep thinking about the phone Reigen sent me, too. And what we might be able to say to them and learn from them if that's true.
You wouldn't have. [ blunt, buuut-- ] Don't worry about it though. Brains are fleshy and complicated. Mine's complicated, but tied to a system that's logical to work with.
They must know we want to kick their ass. It's not like we're keeping it a secret, and I don't think we really want to.
I would love if my brain were less fleshy though, I'm just saying. And you're not wrong about that either. [ that aside... ] I'm sure you saw whatever paper Ryuki brought back, but did you see the note from the other team yet?
Always. [ but he will pull out his phone then to show her something:
Heroes are not all powerful. Even they have only so much energy to go around, and the more it is used, the less they may hold in reserve. With only twelve heroes, even if each calls upon reinforcements, they cannot share their power with too many others, lest they be stretched too thin. As this battle grows longer and they continue to give those parts of themselves away, their power will wane as the moon’s waxes. ]
So, it's connected to the moon then. It make sense in a way -- the moon's the thing we're being told to destroy, so it becoming stronger while the leaders become weaker or lose control of what they can do seems annoyingly logical.
I wonder if it just affects them as the source? If this is saying we’re borrowing their powers, it might be that they’re running weaker than usual…?
I wonder if this will change how we can use our abilities, or whether we’ll be fine and we’ll just have to focus on making sure the others aren’t in danger.
Yeah, that's still true. I still don't really like using my powers here, but if losing them meant getting back what's mine I'd take it. I could fight the moon a lot better with my own skills and maybe it'd hurt the leaders less.
...the downside is there's definitely still the option that we lose the leaders' powers and then we have absolutely nothing for anybody.

I’d normally upload my data periodically back home. The Wadjet System is pretty robust when it comes to keeping our data safe.

Yeah, well. I don’t care what the moon thinks or wants. I kinda want to see it gone. [ fuck the moon. ]

It might be as simple as that, yes. Which I don't know how much I like, all things considered.

I wonder if losing the Leader’s powers would unlock the things people could do on their own, without the need for leeching someone else’s skills?
