duranduel | FOR MALIK

i don't know

it all seems confusing and doesn't fit together. i think that's why there's a plot hole in the first place

the key seems to be that hole. if we follow the story to the letter we might be trapped for good

but manipulating things behind the scenes and making it work for all of us so we graduate and return home? that's a start. i don't think we need to give this place exactly what it wants

We're in agreement.

I think going along with things has made it so the story does these forced killings for drama. Most of the student body is all too happy to play along, even if they say otherwise.

I'd be interested to know how the story is able to interact with us and if it controls itself or if there's something else. Even if it's a rogue story, how did it come to be in the first place? It has to be written somehow. Something chose us to be here... I don't think it was random chance.

it may have been that someone wrote it and it was unfinished and the story wanted to finish itself

someone gave that power to the story and now its independent and wants to do what it wants to complete itself maybe

anyways with the power it has we have to be careful

So there's going to be an ending no matter what.

How do you fight an invisible enemy?

by making it visible

given that it wants to take a host, its also giving itself a weakness with that

That's right... Maya suggested a goose.

Which is anticlimactic.

We could end the story all too quickly if that were the case.

if i were the voice i would think a goose host is stupid

so i think it works smarter than that

The smartest thing it could do would be to pick someone it wouldn't want us to kill.

Then again... each week proves that they'll vote like sheep, even if they like the person.

...The bear? What about the bear? Where has he been this whole time?

i think they said the bear is in daycare

for some reason...

honestly it might choose the most powerful person it can get

What would define power... Diversity of abilities? Sheer strength?

I've already asked about getting some of mine back and was declined. So there is a limit that we're working with, which this entity may not like.

Or maybe that's just me.

well speaking as a former king one of the best ways to make an enemy weak is to take away the possibilities to be strong

imagine if it chose someone with those kinds of abilities and it was able to activate them

It can already control others, so I don't see why me getting mind control back would be a problem.

[ he's still bitter about this. ]

mind control?

well of course it would take that away from you. doesn't want to be controlled

I can't control something that doesn't have a mind and body to take control of.

it has a mind i think

and now it may get a body

vulnerable, like i said

It could control me first... Like with the curses.

But why would it want to be vulnerable in the first place? Unless... It can't end itself without doing so?

that

and it might be greedy?

it wants drama in its story, right? what else could be more dramatic

I guess...

We just don't have enough answers. We're stuck here and it's laughing at us foolishly wasting our time running in all the wrong directions.

The lack of information is really the most frustrating part. I can't plan anything if there's some other information that contradicts what I want to do, or we're left guessing until the very end.

we just have to get more information somehow

from field trips, the dead, or otherwise. or just give our best guess

It's our best bet at getting information, even if it isn't much. My group got something that was half of a circle, that matched the other group's half. But... How is that helpful?

Speaking of the dead... Mollymauk came back. Could he be possessed? He's been acting normal since he got back, but death isn't supposed to work that way.

to show that there is perhaps a literal plot hole

maybe. but i think it would be more dramatic that he was normal and then taken away as soon as he was resurrected. who knows though. this place is illogical

I hate this place.

from what i've heard other people say, i'm sure they would agree with you

That's probably the only thing we can agree on.

We'll have to revisit this topic when we have more information. We're going in circles. Maybe Tsuyukusa will be kind enough to impart us with some knowledge before he's expelled.

considering he was compelled i don't think he would but who knows

either way we just have to wait and see
