Ah - that's what I had in mind, too...

[...]

Perhaps we can try thinking through it together?

[two heads are better than one, and all that...]

[chevaleros]

[ she looks a little... surprised? it's not an offer she expects, but she nods. ]

I would be happy to collaborate. It bothers me, to miss someone who would seek so much to thin our numbers that they would cast blame on an innocent person.

[shiftingwinds]

It bothers me, too.

[she frowns]

...as I recall, we were told that we had found everything we needed to solve it.

[chevaleros]

[ tagging me DURING trial, the nerve ]

Yes. Do you believe the Avatars when they say so?

[shiftingwinds]

[binch, you just tagged me during trial!]

I'm not certain. I... would like to believe them. Certainly, when I was looking, I didn't find anything else that seemed relevant, but...

[chevaleros]

[ 9 hours later ]

I don't believe there's any reason they'd lie, at least not as of yet.

But that means that we may not have been missing pieces, but we did miss some sort of connection between them.

[shiftingwinds]

...we'll have to do better, if there's a next time.

[(narrator voice) And Then They Did Not]

[chevaleros]

[ and then it got Worse

she sighs. ]

Yes, so we must.

If only to discourage people from doing this continuously.

[shiftingwinds]

Right. We absolutely can't have people thinking this is something they can easily get away with.

[this thread is aging so poorly.]

[chevaleros]

[ dies softly ]

...What do you make of their motives? Why would someone do this?

[ she isn't asking out of disbelief or naivety—she's just curious about her thoughts. ]

[shiftingwinds]

...they described it as being something like a lottery - that everyone could win, but the more people who won, the less each individual would win.

[...]

So I suppose... they did it to increase their chances of getting more at the end of this.

[chevaleros]

[ she nods. ]

It's risky, though, when there's an entire trial out to catch you after. But considering that everyone here is after something with their entire heart, I could see that being a motivating factor.

[shiftingwinds]

Risky, yes... but we've proven today that we're easily fooled.

[chevaleros]

Then we must give them something to fear for.

[ again, this would be much more impactful if it wasn't a backtag ]

[shiftingwinds]

[im crying]

Yes. We'll do it.
