Location: Courtyard
Date: 08/07

(ooc notes: I will state any possible content warnings in the subject line of the mod response when it comes up. If anything makes you uncomfortable, please tell me so I can back off and refocus the thread.

There will be no tag order, and a mod response will come after at least 6 player responses OR the next day, whichever is earlier. Please note this means that if you're absent for a day or more, the thread will move on, but I will pace things so that people aren't missing large plot beats.

For this mission, characters will icly split into two groups, and there may be an opportunity to remix groups later in the mission.)

[ Well then. ]

...It is?

[ He wasn't looking out there, admittedly, so it was something he hadn't seen. Just the brightness from the corner of his eyes when the light show had occurred.

But he decides that maybe the idea isn't viable if that's the case. That is not to say he won't consider it once he's certain it's not wrapped around the others, but...

He has to think of something else. ]

In that case, we'd even have to use the binding talismans a little more carefully. Binding the creature to keep it at its current spot when it's wrapped around the others wouldn't work out well to begin with.

[ But he thinks they still have a decent chance, just to go about this a little differently, perhaps... ]

( hmm. on meng yao's response, that's something amami had been afraid of too, but hoping wouldn't end up being the case. there's a pause, and he starts trying the window he's standing in front of, which only rattles as he tries to pull it open. he grimaces, but it's true that they haven't done anything to change that fact yet. )

Are the two of you able to make your own talismans? ( gundham did that one time, amami remembers, didn't he? ) What about un-protection ones — ones that can reverse something. Whether it's binding or anything else, we probably can't do it if we're still separated from that thing. We need to get the door open first.

( and he would rather not leave the others inside of whatever that is for longer than absolutely necessary, so he'll just bring it up now. )

Then all we have to do is get it to let them go for you to bind it, right?

( then their arson streak can continue. )

[ It would work, undoing the bounds that keep them inside, that keeps Kazuki and that shadow together, that keeps the other three trapped inside its darkness where light continues to pulse inside like lightning in a storm cloud.

By which I mean please, yes, let's get out of here so we can consolidate threads for arson time. ]

( oh sick. we're just gonna summarize The Proceedings to simplify things so that the clamor comrades aren't in void limbo for another three days.

following meng yao's confirmation that he can probably reverse-engineer the binding and protection talismans that gundham found, amami will pitch that they do so. then they can hide quietly in the corners so that they aren't breaking rules or drawing the attention of the shadow, and use the reverse protection seal on the door so that it can get inside, where a trap would be waiting in front of the entrance for it.

on meng yao's recommendation, the trap has a reverse binding talisman that they're hoping will "un-bind" the others from inside of the shadow. arson time will follow.

when everyone agrees, meng yao will show gundham and amami how to make those talismans, and when they're ready, they'll set The Plan in motion up to whatever the appropriate point is. )

[ okay arson time ]
