It's fine for now, but... we're trying to make sure people know so things don't get worse.
[ haha yikes. but they look pensive ]
I can only give one total a week, so I've been giving them to Sora... I told him he could introduce you guys to one another now that he knows, though. I think he was planning to do that soon? Not to brag, but I managed to get him to find two people at once twice now.
Well, if you wanted someone to network, he'd definitely make the most sense...
[ he is That Type, after all. ]
Do you really think a warning will be enough to get everyone to stop? [ ... ] What did it do to the Realm, anyway? The distortion in the messages we're getting ... is that because of this?
It is. [ they cross their arms, looking more like hugging themselves than anything ] It's... causing the Realm to become unstable. Moreso than it usually is, anyway. We're hoping by telling people they'll stop.
We should be able to stabilize it if people refrain from blatant rule breaking for like. A week. [ they wave a hand, apparently coming out of feeling Worried ] It's not as bad for me as it is the others whose teams were the worst, so it's fine!
Mmm... speaking of the nova, have you found anything more specific about how we gather it other than ... the things that happen in the middle of the week, and us just... having strong emotions and building bonds?
Or anything about the disturbance that Elsa spoke about? I know some people were discussing the idea of trying to track where the nova was disappearing to... is that even remotely feasible?
Well, tracking the disturbance is what we're doing. I don't think you guys can help there, but we'll pinpoint it. And ... for nova, voting correctly actually gathers some! We figured it out when. Um. When a lot of you didn't.
[ it became a little more obvious than everyone getting nova after a trial oops ]
... I don't know. There's a lot of information going around these days that I've only heard from other participants. It's nothing us Leader have spoken of with each other. I don't know which ones are true and which ones are people making things up to maybe justify their actions.
... I had memory magic, before I came here. I know I did. I'm forgetting things, and I know I'd already forgotten things before this, but it would have been so easy to check whether he believed that was the truth or not...
Sora's trying to gather everyone. And others... seem to be coming across things I hadn't even heard of before they announced it, like ... people's Nova apparently splintering. Was that something you hadn't heard about either?
[ ... ]
It doesn't seem I'm really carrying my weight, am I?
Homura... [ they put a hand on her arm gently ] It's okay. Not everyone has the same information, and people are keeping things to themselves or to people they're close to. It's hard. If the splintering thing is real, I hadn't heard about it before you guys, either.
Bonds supposedly generate nova, but ... what does that even mean? Just because you know someone doesn't make it a bond. It has to go both ways, doesn't it?
I'm ... pretty sure the realm picked the wrong person for this.
[ me checking when this thread was to reference my notes on what she has and hasn't remembered yet. ]
... I just have a feeling, somehow. That I've been forgotten many times in the past, and that I did it to myself. And it wasn't as if I was good at making friends in the first place, so . . .
... I'm not good at making friends, either. [ they laugh a little, looking down ] I don't remember much about myself at all, but it's the same thing. A feeling. And it's pretty true here, too.
[ but they look back at homura and grab her hand ]
But that doesn't mean we were a bad choice for this. We can still try and do our best, can't we? So let's both try.
[ i was gonna yeet in a request for a w3, w4 sunday or a w5 pc because i was going to reply to this and then got smashed over the head by remembering this was w2 and she's still in glasses, holy shit. but then i forgot and things happened, oh well. ]
... I've never done anything less than try. I won't... it won't be any different here. Of course I'll do my best.
[ so she'll squeeze back, a little. even so... ]
It's just a matter of whether trying our best will ever be enough.
