Whacking the what?

[he's just going to head in that direction - ]

Show me, let's play a few games.

[retellers]

The things! I'm not sure what they are. They look like weird animals?

[ they are heading over to copyright free whack-a-mole immediately. and by heading over i mean they walk with him most of the way but when they get within sight they teleport next to it ]

Here!

[recrowns]

[oh god

the violence]

Oh! I haven't played this one yet - are we meant to smack them?

[retellers]

Yes! When they pop up, you hit them with the hammer! It's so satisfying. Give it a shot!

[ they clearly would've done GREAT in the pirate fight. ]

[recrowns]

Alright, then let's try.

[he'll go to pick up the hammer

he's going to be reopening his wound this week from a combination of pirate fight and slightly because of whack a mole (no)

but the funny thing is that he is going to try to be pretty intense about it?? sometimes you just want to play a game at the best of your ability!!!]

[retellers]

[ swan is. cheering him on the entire time? ]

Yeah! Like that! Show them who's boss!!

[recrowns]

[idk if there's high scores on this thing but soo-won would try so hard to get one

up until the time is out and then he'll finish up]

Oh -

Yes, I see the fun in that now. It's actually not bad for a training exercise!

[no!]

[retellers]

Right? It practices your reflexes and hand-eye coordination! [ no. ] And it's great for letting off steam. [ they look at the board and. hold their hand up for a high five again ] Nice score!

[recrowns]

Thank you!

[hi5s!!]

Do you feel like you need to blow off steam often?

[retellers]

I want to punch the disturbance's teeth in until it collapses in on itself.

[ cheerily ]

[recrowns]

.... at least you have an excellent target!

[retellers]

Yep. [ they sigh a bit ] I wish we could just go out there and fight already. I know why we can't, since we don't even know where to look yet, but that doesn't make it any less annoying.

[recrowns]

[he nods at that]

Is it outside of the Realm...? Or is it lurking somewhere here but unable to be reached?

[retellers]

The latter. The Realm is a lot bigger than what we can access right now, and it's not... a solid space, so much? Like an ocean of memories, and we have to find a specific reef it's hiding in.

[recrowns]

Oh - sort of like how the Northern area manifests differently each week? So it'll take some time to actually find where the disruption is lurking in....

Is there anything the rest of us can do to help? If only so we also feel like we have a direction to head in.

[retellers]

Gathering nova helps us too. It's like it ... expands our knowledge? Does that make sense?

[ it is very hard to explain magic bullshit ]

[recrowns]

[this is so much magic bullshit]

Mm. The main ways to do that are to participate on Wednesdays and Saturdays, correct? In particular if we get Saturdays correct. I've also heard that it might be done by building our bonds with each other and Leaders as well...?

[but if he's missing anything please let him know]

[retellers]

Yeah! Those are the ways we're aware of right now, at least.

[recrowns]

Hmm... well, I'll check in with you in case there might be more later.

I've been talking to everyone and I think they're all looking for ways to help - so whatever direction they can be given seems to help.

[retellers]

I know you are. People keep asking me how to help, and I wish I could give you guys more, but... Collecting nova is really important. I know it might not seem like it because of the ways you collect it, but it is.

[recrowns]

[he nods at that]

That makes sense! And until Wednesdays and Saturdays roll around, we can collect nova by interacting with each other, and all of the other Leaders?

It seems like something that works in the favor of socialites...

[retellers]

Well, it's memories, isn't it? Of course you've got memories on your own, but... the most important memories are the ones you make with other people. I think nova recognizes that.

[recrowns]

[ . . . he just huffs a gently amused breath at that, smiling with a tilt of his head]

So it is.

We should probably make more memories together too, then.

[retellers]

[ they laugh a bit ]

So we should keep playing in the arcade, is what you're saying?

[recrowns]

I think so! Show me all your favorite games? Do you think that they had these in your world?
