[video]

I've heard some people talking about it on the network, but I figure it makes sense to make it an open question, so we can all think about it and coordinate.

Who all wants to be de-infiltrated when we go back? I can restore three more people myself, and I know we have a lot of people with that ability.

forcechanic: (Disturbance in the Force)

[personal profile] forcechanic 2019-12-29 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing about this world feels good in the Force but I'm managing.
neverfeltthatway: (good job lighting crew)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2019-12-29 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I can imagine. [He thinks so, anyway, given the amount of time they've talked about the force and how it differs from the network.] Anything I can do to help?

The best thing is to have people around who are... light, basically.
neverfeltthatway: (wide eyes)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2019-12-30 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Who are... light? [Armin sounds a little confused.] I'm sorry, I'm not really sure what that means.
forcechanic: (This is concerning)

[personal profile] forcechanic 2019-12-30 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Anger, pain, despair, hatred, those are the ones that hurt. So being around someone feeling a little more optimistic, a little more loving helps balance it out.
neverfeltthatway: (mikasa absolutely nobody believed that)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2019-12-30 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see. [He's quiet for a long moment.] I'm - I'm not sure whether to hang around you or stay away, then. I feel like I have a fair bit of both sides...

Probably more pain and worry, I suppose, after what we've been through this jaunt.

[personal profile] forcechanic 2019-12-30 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I should offer to teach people to meditate... we probably all need it right now.

[If Uncle Luke could hear her now...]
neverfeltthatway: (a smile)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2019-12-30 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
It definitely wouldn't go amiss. But then, if I've ever met a group of people without the patience for such a thing... [He gives a sad little half-smile, joking without really being amused.]
forcechanic: (Default)

[personal profile] forcechanic 2019-12-30 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Patience was never really my specialty either. I had to learn my own ways of doing it.
neverfeltthatway: (ickle)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2019-12-30 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure if you offered, there are those who would appreciate it, though. Just... maybe not very many.
forcechanic: (But troubled)

[personal profile] forcechanic 2019-12-30 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
It would be something.

A more manageable problem than... that thing.
neverfeltthatway: (unable to explain)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2019-12-30 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
I often find teaching to be sort of calming, too. Gives you something to focus on - a sense of progress and accomplishment, no matter how small.

It certainly couldn't hurt.
forcechanic: (Default)

[personal profile] forcechanic 2019-12-30 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

I've been trying to figure out if there was anything I could teach the people in the Jaunt to deal with the cultists, but it looks like it's bigger problems now.

There are martial arts that practice 'moving meditation.' I am no expert in them, but I have a few memories from infiltrations. If that suits Travelers better...
forcechanic: (Default)

[personal profile] forcechanic 2019-12-30 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I do most of the time. Aunt Mara figured out I wasn't the best at sitting still.
neverfeltthatway: (bright and calm)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2019-12-30 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
I understand. It's a good thing to focus on, it's just being drowned out right now.

Maybe after we defeat the nation eaters...
forcechanic: (Default)

[personal profile] forcechanic 2019-12-30 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm not sure what to do with those...

Crowd control, I guess.
neverfeltthatway: (mouse)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2019-12-31 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
That will be really important - at least for me, it won't be easy to avoid casualties if there's any civilians anywhere nearby. As a sixty meter titan, I'll be on the same scale as that creature - and I'll need all my attention on the fight.
forcechanic: (Default)

[personal profile] forcechanic 2019-12-31 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
I think anyone who can fight on that scale is going to have the same problem.

I can get the people moving to whatever passes for safety. Or there's no point in beating the thing.
neverfeltthatway: (bandage)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2019-12-31 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
I agree. We've got to try to save as many people as we can.
forcechanic: (Default)

[personal profile] forcechanic 2020-01-01 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we can use this time to identify good places to get the civilians to.
neverfeltthatway: (this is my calculating face)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2020-01-01 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
...Magician said they might be able to send us back to a different Spire. I wonder if we can split up - have those of us who are up for fighting that thing go somewhere less populated, and everyone else somewhere safe and far away.

I guess we'd have to ask.

Safe is such a relative term in that world.
neverfeltthatway: (wide eyes)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2020-01-01 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We'll have to ask before they send us back.

True. But... it seems like it's pretty relative in most worlds. Just maybe a little moreso in this one.

I feel like seismic stability is going to be important. And construction that won't collapse on everyone we're trying to protect.
