Recreating memories works too. Probably only important ones, since some things got repeated that really weren't and they didn't do anything. Memories that are important to the person, even if they didn't really say anything before that...

[ Yuri's voice sort of trails off toward the end there, but then perks up quickly with a subject change. Ish. Of sorts. It doesn't seem like a subject change to the untrained eye, but to Yuri it most definitely is. ]

Who's still an NPC? We can get working on them before anything, we'll figure out a plan of attack from there.

Accel it is.

[ Hey, he actually gave a nickname she's allowed to use. She's completely going to take it. ]

[onewayroad]

Now that this crap is out of the way- [because anything remotely sentimental is obviously crap to him, right? totally.] -it's time to get back to the important shit.

What's the weapon situation?

[tenminutes]

Considering my "rescuer" who took me out of the building didn't grab anything from my room, I don't have any weapons on me. There are still a few left down in Guild that I was saving for a rainy day but there aren't many. We've got a safe zone though, so if we can get enough of the clay-filled dirt from down in guild it'll be quicker to make more-- but the more dirt we go to get, the more likely they are to notice.

[onewayroad]

There were a ton of shadows down there last time I tried going.

[folds arms across chest again, looking annoyed]

That was a while ago, so maybe it's improved since then, but the fact that it had a lot still doesn't bode well for dirt-gathering quests.

[tenminutes]

So basically, our best bet is to build a wheelbarrow here, then form a team to break into one of the shallow levels of Guild to get dirt back to the safe zone.

[ If it's in a team, it'll work out better, but honestly it's not worth risking everyone for what's down there beyond the dirt. ]

[onewayroad]

Most likely.

Does anyone have a GPS or map for their phone app?

[tenminutes]

If we can get my laptop out of the dorms, it has the school's blueprints saved on it but I don't know anyone with a GPS or map.

[onewayroad]

[Thoughtful, annoyed frown.]

The dorms are probably just as swamped with shadows.

...I'm willing to go in and look, but even for me and my Redirection that might be futile.

[tenminutes]

On the other hand, if we make enough explosives we can just blow up the entire dormitory and reclaim our space.

[ Is she joking? The world may never know. ]

[onewayroad]

Who says you need many explosives for that? Or any?

[raises eyebrows]

[tenminutes]

The "Accel doesn't get to have all the fun" Battlefront.

[onewayroad]

My aim isn't "fun" but "efficiency," but whatever. Do what you want.

[tenminutes]

I don't want anyone going alone.

[ It was less comfortable to say than just pretending it was for fun, but it was true. It would be fun to blow everything up... but that wasn't the reason for it. ]

No matter how "efficient" you think it is.

[onewayroad]

That again.

[He remembers her insistence on it during the blizzard. Don't think he forgot!]

That reminds me. Everyone ought to set up preparations for how to de-NPC them if they get unlucky later on. With two different methods confirmed now there's no excuse to let anyone stay like that for long.

[tenminutes]

..What, like a post-mortem will? I guess that's not a bad idea. I think the biggest question is whether or not the same thing will work twice.

[onewayroad]

Agreed. There are too few successes to make absolute rules based on method and end result, and I'm all too familiar with irregularities.

[It comes with being a lab child surrounded by scientists.]

But yeah. Something like that. What matters is that we know it could work.

[tenminutes]

I hate to say it, but we're going to have to wait to find out.

[ Yuri's not a scientist. She can't test it on purpose. ]

[onewayroad]

I know.

[restlessly drums his fingers on his elbow]

We'll just have to pay attention each time someone needs it, and adjust accordingly.

...Do you think it matters whether the other person in the memory being recreated is here?

[A valid question.]

[tenminutes]

I don't know. It'd probably help, but I think it really depends on the scenario-

Like, if it wasn't Hinata with me I don't think that partic- particular one would have worked. But I think maybe if there was a different type of scenario... None of mine are very good examples of what I think would work, the other ones I would never want to happen again.

[onewayroad]

[drumming away at his elbow, gaze flitting to the side and going unfocused as she answers. Even once she finishes, he remains silent in thought.]

...I can think of a few of mine that might work if you or Kohaku do a little acting, but I'd rather not think about it becoming necessary in the first place.

[And yet this was his idea, to make preparations and shit just in case.]

[tenminutes]

I think it's going to be a good idea to just have everyone find a few people they trust to take care of them in case it happens. I'll keep whatever it is a secret unless it's an emergency.

[onewayroad]

Heh. It may not be anything to the others but I hope you know you're speaking to someone largely incapable of trusting others, for very good reason.

[He does uncross his arms and reach for his phone with one hand, though, searching for it in his pants pocket.]

[tenminutes]

You're the one who just suggested Kohaku and I do it, trust issues or not.

[ She's going to watch him take out his phone, wondering if he's just going to text it over or somehow set up a 'if i don't do anything in 24 hours with this phone send out this message' sort of situation.

..Of course, if he was at a level where could do that they'd probably have a leg up in the tech department. Yuri's cool scenario has crashed before it left her mouth. ]

[onewayroad]

The shit I'd have you do isn't the kind of shit I'd ask him to. Get a clue.

[Yuri's tsundere enough that she should be able to read between the lines there.

It'll take him a while to type everything up.]

[tenminutes]

--What the hell kind of things would you have me do that he couldn't do?!

[ This is a very important question. Just because she can read between the lines doesn't mean that she's going to do it right. ]
