Can we not go over whether the moon is real or not again...

[ballies]

Ohhh no, I’m going to tech talk you and you’re going to like it. Or pretend you do.

[ threat.


actually it’s not that bad. ]

I don’t think it’s “whether it’s real” or not, of course it’s real, it destroyed half the city. But when I asked Phoenix about it, they mentioned something about it attacking people but they didn’t see it transform.

[ HE'S NOT GOING TO LIKE IT HE HATES IT ]

Are we sure the moon and the guy in white aren't the same thing...?

[ballies]

[ it’s fiiiiine.


but she does snap her fingers and point at that. ]

Yup. The moon falls out of the sky and suddenly there’s a super strong guy in white who kills four heroes and vanishes? Suspicious.

[selfimmolation]

They're always talking about the moon listening in, too...

[ballies]

Oh, ewww. What?

[selfimmolation]

Yeah. It's been in one of the notes and the leaders talk about it sometimes, apparently. Everything the moonlight touches... or something?

[ballies]

[ … ]

Gross, the moon’s a creep.

[ helpful. ]

So, what? We just need to stop talking about anything potentially important at nighttime? [ said like she’s an avid intellectual conversationalist here. ]

[selfimmolation]

I guess? I don't get how it works. It's not like there's no moon during the day, you just can't see it.

[ballies]

Yeah, but there’s bound to be points where it’s “weaker”, especially around midday.

[ ……. ]

But you’re right, it’s not like we know anything about how it works. Just rumours.

[selfimmolation]

We don't know how anything works here. We're just guessing.

[ballies]

It’s really getting on my nerves. I’m used to being able to look up solid data, not just relying on hearsay. And vibes.

[selfimmolation]

Hey, you're forgetting the random pieces of paper.

[ballies]

Right, the vague and ominous pieces of paper. How could I?

[ weh ]

I’m used to having the electronic equivalent of the Library of Alexandria to rifle through at well. This is a downgrade.

[selfimmolation]

So it's a big library?

[ballies]

Yes, it’s a very big library.

[selfimmolation]

[ he got it... he figured out the reference ]

The only books we have here aren't exactly helpful for research either.

[ballies]

[ proud of him. ]

No history of the city, or that was what Nico told me. I wonder if that just means there isn’t one. Or if there is, they don’t want us knowing about it.

[selfimmolation]

Right. With everything we've found out, I'm not convinced the city has a history.

[ballies]

Like it just popped up for the purpose of this competition, whatever that’s mean to be for.

[selfimmolation]

And however it's actually won. We keep rising in ranks, somehow?

[ me: i wanna be in last place :( for funny :( ]

[ballies]

[ don't worry i haven't submitted jackshit this week AND i forgot to curse anyone. sad. ]

Yeah, I don't know how. I saved a cat a couple of weeks ago-- [ and didn't submit that ] but other than that...?

[selfimmolation]

Saved a cat...? From what?

[ i personally submitted jailbreak which is as heroic as i get ]

[ballies]

A really big tree.




[ they're doing their best. ]

[selfimmolation]

Ah.
