...worse going by the choice. Better in that he was able to bring it to a more merciful end.

[goalsides]

so it sort of balances out i guess
it was better that it was dimitri than one of the others who's never fought before
but it was still bad because again, really should not be something we have to do
...i'm glad he was able to do things his own way in the end

[ambiography]

I think that's really the most we can hope for, in this situation. To be able to fight it, to any extent.

[goalsides]

better to use it on himself than on rupert
it says a lot about dimitri
more than most things

[ambiography]

It does. In that sense-- maybe it was for the best that it was someone like him, in there.

[goalsides]

yeah...
...it doesn't answer the question of how people are chosen though
or how they're being controlled
that's the problem still

[ambiography]

That's something I'd very much like to find out. I do think the choices have something to do with what would be the most dramatic, but

We really have no idea what we're at the mercy of.

[goalsides]

some asshole, probably.

[taichi...but he expands on that a few moments later.]

most dramatic, sure, but we don't really know what that means either. what do they consider dramatic in something like this? is it just whoever would have the hardest time?

[ambiography]

Whoever would have the hardest time, the most ironic choice... it's difficult to say.

[goalsides]

i don't even know how helpful it would be to try to guess every weekend
on the one hand, it's just depressing
on the other, if we had a clue we could at least be a little more prepared
sort of

[ambiography]

I'm not sure how prepared we could really be, given what happens out there-- the fact that it changes every time means that even if someone goes in somewhat aware they might be chosen, there's only so much they can do.

[goalsides]

yeah...i guess that's true
we can't even really predict what kind of supplies to bring because we don't know what the weapons will be
it was a thought but maybe you have a point

[ambiography]

Ultimately, I think it's best to just

Be prepared for the inevitable, but to do what you can as well, if there is anything you can do.

[goalsides]

[there's a long span of silence.]

lately it feels like there isn't much i can do
so i'm trying everything

[ambiography]

...I know. I am, too.

I asked Chad if there was any chance my ability could do something, but the conclusion we came to was that while it might be able to work, it would only prolong the inevitable during an expulsion.

I'm waiting on an answer to find out if it's possible to buy better information on how we receive vouchers, though, to see if we might be able to work with our numbers a little more effectively. If anything comes of it, I'll let you know.

[goalsides]

[dw my notif.]

that's the thing i think i hate even more than not knowing how to stop people from dying on thursdays
at least then we don't have to watch ourselves do nothing to save people
...that would be helpful
how many did you receive this week anyway? if that's something you're comfortable telling me
i'm asking because now i REALLY can't figure out how the math works

[ambiography]

You know, neither can I. As far as I know, it was all the same as last week, but instead of five, I have six.

It might be possible that later extra credits are worth more, but that's only speculation.

[goalsides]

i have literally no idea because i got seven this week.

[ambiography]

And this would be why I asked Chad.

[goalsides]

hopefully he has an answer
it would also answer if we CAN buy different information instead of information they just happen to have
that would help us out a lot

[ambiography]

He said that the 'limited weekly piece' was all he knew that we could buy for sure, but it at least wasn't an immediate no.

[goalsides]

that could mean he hadn't thought about it and might be checking the possibilities
i'll take anything that isn't an immediate no at this point

[ambiography]

It's something. We need every little bit that we're able to get, and hopefully if it's a 'no', he might be able to share whether we can't get additional information at all or if some might still be possible.

[goalsides]

honestly? even a no is an answer we didn't have before
so i agree with that
not that i won't be mad about it
but it'll count
