[ he can be a big science brained freak that's fine. ]

A little, yeah. Like it's a good thing nobody's been so badly hurt it's been a huge problem, but I don't like that the option's gone right now. I haven't heard about other people's healing abilities being tampered with, but if your original idea about us maybe not needing it because of where we are is right that'd explain some stuff.

[artificialsweetener]

[HE'S TRYING TO BE NORMAAAAL.]

Mm, it would, right? [He'd like to run some MORE TESTS.] It's too bad that any methods of checking are pretty high risk.

[aerodynamic]

Because it's putting people at risk of injuries they might not come back from? [ a little dry in tone, but he can get the picture. ] Unless you're thinking of something else.

[artificialsweetener]

Aha, nope! That's pretty much exactly it. Field testing is great until you get into a situation where you really don't know what you're working with even down to the basic levels of how reality itself is structured, you know?

[HE TAKES RISKS BUT THEY'RE usually CALCULATED.]

[aerodynamic]

So then what you're saying is we need to be figuring out the basics and how to pick those apart before moving on to testing the more advanced stuff. Makes sense. But... the "how" is where I'm not sure where to go.

[artificialsweetener]

[HE HAS SOME IDEAS FOR THE HOW....... He will keep them to himself for now.]

Good question, good question. Maybe we can get a group together to brainstorm later? It might be smart to share all of the stuff we're figuring out, anyway!

[aerodynamic]

I've been thinking about that. Now that we have a better idea who's around and what kind of stuff everybody's experiencing it can't hurt to compare notes.

[artificialsweetener]

Maybe we can host our own party later and everyone can touch base then!

[aerodynamic]

We still don't even know who really set up the last party, do we...

[artificialsweetener]

If it was none of us, it must have been this place, right? Or whatever is behind the usual things that suddenly appear and vanish...

[aerodynamic]

What do you think the likelihood is that the maze itself is somehow... you know. Alive?

[artificialsweetener]

Aha, higher than I'd have ever thought possible before, I think! [HE THOUGHT IT WAS 0% POSSIBLE BEFORE.] At the very least, it definitely seems to respond like an organism that isn't entirely inert.

[aerodynamic]

If that's the case, then we'd have to find the center of it. Right? But that's giving in to what it wants.

[ going deeper into the maze. ]

[artificialsweetener]

I wouldn't mind doing that, just to see what it might be after...

[He has no sense of danger or much normal human preservation of life instincts, though.]

[aerodynamic]

Annnd if we can't get back out after all? What then?

[artificialsweetener]

[Thinking about how his backup is probably already up and wandering around as they speak.]

...Those of us who are at less risk if that happens should go first!

[SMASHCUT TO YOSUKE GOING FIRST]

[aerodynamic]

[ HUH. ]

That's just gonna turn into a whole argument about who's at less risk.

[ apparently it's him but he lived, bitch. ]

[artificialsweetener]

[HE REALLY DID DO THAT.]

I think I could make the most convincing case, but I'll save it for whenever we run into a situation where I could actually see us being able to make it somewhere deeper in the first place.

[YOSUKE BEATS HIM.]

[aerodynamic]

Probably for the best. [ in a scenario where it was dahut first and not him... ] We have a good idea now, so... even if it freaks me out a little, we'll just have to keep looking.

[artificialsweetener]

At least if we all do our best together, it won't be so scary!

[YEAH!!]

[aerodynamic]

[ you know... he decides not to say it could still be scary because that's not the point, so he gives dahut a thumbs up before flopping over elysium's shoulder again i guess. ]

[artificialsweetener]

[NIGHTYNIGHT PEANUT.... it's the dress rehearsal for the big nap he's going to be taking in a few days]
