We can't do any nova collecting on our own. If we were the ones who picked up any of those items, nothing would have happened.
[ a pause. ]
We can't get into the locked doors since they were already locked when we arrived, which means they're supposed to be that way. The planetarium was something we locked ourselves when you got here, which is why we could open it earlier in the week.
You were brought here to collect nova. I don't know if there is something about you all specifically that made it possible for you to, or if it's an ability the Realm gave you, or what. But your group are the only ones here who can.
The six of us Leaders were brought to watch over to you, and to try to block whatever is taking the nova to hurt you all as well. The problem there is that since the Realm has been weakened, our protection can't be 100% since the power to protect you comes from it.
... well, if whatever is taking the nova gets stronger, then it means what happens here is going to get less and less stable. It'll become dangerous, most likely.
Well, see, the original reason you were split up is because of how our powers work. We can only protect a certain amount of you or else our powers will be too strained. So you were split up among us instead. Whoever's team your on is just that Leader is specifically keeping your memories as safe as they can, even though with the Realm weakening that protection isn't complete...
But, um, that just made it easier to make a contest out of it, since you were already on "teams" like that.
Normally, yes, but... that's not our call to make.
[ they sigh. ]
The Realm, like people, is very desperate to stay alive. Or... as alive as something like it can be. So, I think it was really hoping to cover all of its bases in order to make sure everyone here would cooperate. Tiger told me before that, they think the Realm didn't pick people based on how, um, good or heroic they were. So it wanted to make sure people who wouldn't help for good reasons might still be motivated by something else.

Which you... Also probably knew. I think.

[ they clear their throat. ]
Um, is there anything you'd like to talk about?
no subject
[ she looks briefly alarmed, because she doesn't really have anything in particular to talk about but then! oh! an excuse! ]
Can you guys make new constellations in the planetarium?

Did you want something up there?

I wonder what he considers pretty?
no subject
But... It's not like you can get that across with stars.
no subject
[ hm... ]
I'll see if I can even manage it.
no subject
[ can't you do it yourself? can't you unlock them? she is trying not to sound too accusatory here. ]

But we picked them up, so... Something happened?

[ they quickly add. ]
We're not expecting that it will or anything! It's just... we need to keep that in mind as a possibility.
no subject
So - what happens then?
no subject
... well, if whatever is taking the nova gets stronger, then it means what happens here is going to get less and less stable. It'll become dangerous, most likely.
no subject

So... we need to try to make sure that doesn't happen before we can get you all home.
no subject
... Can I ask what the deal is with the teams? What's the point if we all have the same goal?
no subject
But, um, that just made it easier to make a contest out of it, since you were already on "teams" like that.
