"Sophie?" said Xinoehp. "Is something wrong?"

Signing up.

Except that each was tap-dancing the other's body.

Take a deep breath, advised Aqua. Pull time together- fit more moments into one. That will cause time to appear to move slowly.

Unexpectedly, each wound up mind-controlling the other.

Do you want to slow down time? suggested Aqua in Sophie's mind.

And so he challenged Squiggly to a duel.

No one else wanted the name, so it was fine.

One called himself Watler.

The Squigglys despised them.

But they melted.

With mind control laser cannons.

The Thing of DoomRats.

Because we are already here, said Michael.

Michael blinked. That... will not be necessary.

Michael blinked. Is that a yes?

Michael nodded. Now, are you going to accompany us, or would you rather go your own way?

And so he was inducted into the fellowship.

And secretly guided him to accepting it.

A 100% absolutely original idea.

Probably for self-survival, at least in part. And rip to expulsions this cycle. :\

I can't say I have particular suspicions of anyone. :/ Edit: I suppose I was feeling suspicious of Lopen- although it would be nice if we could get down to at most 4 players.

*sigh* I don't know what to do... My brain just can't process anything properly today. I'm really only posting this to avoid tuition reductions for PMing. Hopefully next round goes better for me and I can avoid dying... ---- Maern took a step out of the door and froze. It was dark. Pitch black. Apparently during his long study session, he’d lost track of time and sunset had passed him by. Foolish he thought to himself, feeling a spike of anxiety and beginning a fast walk- but not too fast, as he didn’t want to draw attention. Attention was bad on the streets after dark. If he just hurried and avoided being noticed, he’d get home no problem. This is the right way, right? he thought to himself, feeling a burst of panic. It sort of seemed familiar… but at the same time off. He’d been walking the same path home so many times by now that it had become automatic- but what if he’d messed it up. A terrible feeling of disorientation swept over him. He was lost- lost on the streets of Imre, where any number of individuals might walk by and relieve him of his money, his freedom, or his life. Terror began to cloud his thoughts I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die… Focus! he thought. He needed… focus… And then, all of sudden, he realized that his anxiety wasn’t natural.

But maybe he’d been thinking about this the wrong way. If he couldn’t avoid the skindancer’s actual attack… could he shrug it off? Was there any way for him to resist the attempted mental sabotage, either indefinitely or until he could fight off the perpetrator? It seemed like a crazy idea on the surface to be sure, especially given he had no idea how the skindancers’ sabotage worked. But could it be that it wasn’t all that different from normal insanity- just exacerbated? Presumably the skindancers worked their deadly magic by getting inside your head and messing things around. If that was the case, then what he was doing right now- breaking problems down into simpler ones to reduce stress- might be exactly what he needed in order to stay out of the Crockery. It would make sense that they chose the University for the attack, if that’s the case, he thought to himself. It’s probably one of the most stressful places in all the Four Corners. Well, enough speculation about the skindancers. He had finances to compute. From his pack he pulled out some sheets and a pencil and got to work. Who would have thought Arithmetics would be so helpful? ---- Starting to think I might not have time to do super in depth analysis today... oh, well. I guess I can produce more charts, at least.
