[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.

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.

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.]

[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.

[personal profile] forcechanic 2020-01-01 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[personal profile] forcechanic 2020-01-01 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
I feel like seismic stability is going to be important. And construction that won't collapse on everyone we're trying to protect.
neverfeltthatway: (I will join too)

[personal profile] neverfeltthatway 2020-01-01 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
...If we went somewhere else with the creature, is it a bad idea to send everyone else back to Fallenheart?
forcechanic: (Default)

[personal profile] forcechanic 2020-01-01 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
If we can be sure the creature is going somewhere else... it's one of the more stable places. And that might make sending the creature and the giant monster slayers elsewhere easier, too.
