They flinched. "It depends. Usually just the more painful tests."

"What? No, this is my fault. I just can't handle it. I've failed."

"And you're trying to avoid the pain, right?"

Totally fine, just figured I should mention it

They pulled away, looking uncertainly at her.

"Yes. That's why I left. I should be stronger. But I'm not."

She didn't look mean. They could figure that she probably wanted to help them feel better.

"I'll punish them if they get angry."

"Thanks," Rhyme said.

You overestimate their experience with and understanding of physical affection.

Even so, they don't really get why she's touching them.

"I'm Rhyme. And I collect secrets! That's it. I don't remember anything else. It's part of the Game. You should try sometime!"

"I acted out. Disobeyed."

"And what did they tell you to do?" 

Just now, Spark of Hope said:

"What did they want you to do?"

"Um... Number seventeen?"

"I'm Lati!" Lati repeated.

Jidah tilted her head at them. "Don't look for her. Lati's invisible." 

"I am?"

2 hours ago, Bird Furious said:

"What's your real name?" Jidah asked. 

"Of course!" Jidah started in the direction they'd been going, then paused and reached up. A gleaming light flashed, leaving a sword of light in her hand. The light faded, and she handed them the sword. 

"Just in case." She frowned at its lack of shininess. 

"SWORD!" she cried, then giggled.

"They sound bad. They hurt you!" Lati said in a pouting voice.

She's basically a child, btw :P

"Where can I find this game?" 

Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said:

"Pretty much anything. They would say, 'every conceivable metric.' "

"So... painful."

"Yes, sword." 

She frowned. 

"Where can I find this game?" 

"Oh, it's easy. I can teach you! The first rule is to always be positive, no matter what happens!"

209845 was getting anxious. It understood the importance of communication and empathy to mortals, and yet every second they spent chatting the higher the chance the Cloud would find them. And that would be bad. Very bad. 

Suddenly, inspiration struck, and it turned to Jidah. “You mentioned something about a temple earlier? The Cloud will struggle to search a holy site.”

209845 chose not to mention that it believed positivity was meaningless. Outlook didn’t result in concrete change; action did. Then again, it had to keep reminding itself that mortals viewed the world in a different way. They struggled to see their situation with objectivity, always dwelling on the past.

"Yes. A temple. I don't know where it is."

"Sometimes. More often recently. Worse."

"Ah... they're in the wrong, then."

"Yes!" she said. "You can never allow negativity to overcome your mind. That's what makes you sad. Positivity makes you happy!"
