Woof.

[ mood. ]

Okay, so. We need to figure something out soon, or we're completely screwed.

[bows]

Mm. Our numbers are really going down fast.

[ she like

glances around, like she's checking there's nothing around that might fall and crush them to death ]

[kirubeam]

... Don't suppose you've got any idea what it'd mean to "beat Death at its own game"?

[bows]

What, do we need to kill Death?

Or, I don't know, make it seem like we died?

[kirubeam]

I'd like to try shooting him if he ever shows up in front of us again.

But... yeah, I dunno. I got this message that said something like that. But if this is a game, I sure as hell don't know what the rules are.

[bows]

I suppose since we don't really know anything more specific...?

I would suggest another gathering, but it might catch on fire at this rate.

[kirubeam]

Yeah, no kidding. It's hard to catch people when they're always running around, too...

[bows]

... what did you think about everything Nathalie said?

[kirubeam]

... I don't know...

The whole thing about how we "cheated" Death, and now it's after us... doesn't seem too out there, after what we've seen at this point.

The part where she thought she had to kill people to make it stop sounds just nuts, though. And like, obviously it didn't work... and it seemed kind of unnatural how the idea was so firmly planted in her head that she couldn't shake it, even when she had every reason to doubt it...

[bows]

Mm. Where I'm from, there are Arts that can do things similar, so I think an outside influence makes sense. Especially since she seemed so...

[ hmmm. ]

Logical?

[kirubeam]

Yeah. She was even pretty aware of the contradictions in her own thoughts.

Maybe "Death" messed with her head?

[bows]

Perhaps. I believe we should just be wary of any potentially strange dreams people may have.

[kirubeam]

Probably, yeah.

You said before that you have some power over dreams, yeah? How's that work?
