dreamland day zero 42 players remaining. [Once the announcements are over, there's no further response from the voice over the intercom. The afternoon wears on, demanding nothing more of you. The park will remain open until late in the evening, when the fireworks go off, but you can always go back earlier. In fact, it might be wise to gather your fellow players and discuss what you've learned in the mess hall.] rulebook character statuses private conversations This is a mingle following the plot revelations yesterday! Characters can gather in the mess hall and discuss what they've learned and make plans. Night will go up at the same time, and this post will be backdated.

Right.

I'm sure they'll try to get around our plans, but with order and method, we can defend ourselves from any threat. If need be, I would gladly patrol the dorms every night myself!

[chainjailer]

I could patrol too. We need more than one person to keep an eye on all the exits.

[edealistical]

I'm sure there are others who have experience with this kind of thing. If we all work together, I'm positive that we'll be able to thwart these 'VIPs'.

It's hard to commit a crime when there's 35 people watching!

[chainjailer]

There's ways, but you're right. The harder we make it, the better. Let's see if we can't find a few more people willing to patrol. It's still dangerous, so I suggest people who can defend themselves.

[edealistical]

I agree. We should find out who has combat experience or anything similar as soon as we can.

...Did they say something about being able to read those things on these?

[She gestures at the bracelet.]

[chainjailer]

[Kurapika nods, holding out his wrist.]

That's right, I was looking at it earlier. You just do this... [And he shows her however it works, but doesn't actually click into the list itself.]

It looks like a few of us know how to fight, myself included.

[edealistical]

[Bleeeech these bracelets are the grossest thing in the universe. Edea will refrain from looking at it too long.]

If we can get everyone with combat experience together and set up a system, we should be set for a little while. The enemy will have to take time to analyze each of our strengths and weaknesses individually.

[chainjailer]

There's multiple issues with that--what if the VIP is among them? Then they'll know everyone's strengths and weakness from the start. We also lose the element of surprise on both ends, which leaves us back where we started.

[edealistical]

Oh.

Mmm..... We'll have to patrol in teams, then. Randomized each night. There's no chance that a VIP would be able to take advantage of that situation.

[chainjailer]

Who chooses the randomization? There's so many things that can be rigged, but...hh. It might be a necessary risk.

[edealistical]

We draw lots, of course. ...That's something they do where you come from, right? It's not random if someone's deciding it.

[chainjailer]

There's still a way to rig even that. [He folds his arms, not liking the idea.]

But without Nen, I guess it would be more difficult than usual.

[edealistical]

Well. ...We can alternate between drawing lots and rolling die and other similar things.

[Not even Edea is that paranoid, but.]

Who is Nen?

[chainjailer]

I suppose. [That's Kurapika for: I don't really like it, but what else can we do?]

Nen isn't a person, it's your aura used as a means of power.
