I figured it'd control itself after a point. There's enough more grounded people around to keep others from getting too panicked.
[ 'the risk i took was calculated,' ]
... And if putting it out there might make people doubt everything they hear from the Directors a little more than they would have otherwise, all the better. Not that they might themselves be untrustworthy, but...
[ sorry akira she knows you like them, and they are generally nice, but also, ]
[ listen it worked out for her needs, people like magnus, lili, and belph do all the work for her. doubt! think! figure things out yourself and don't trust everything the npcs say especially when they know the npcs can't speak freely!
also break this fucking game, on a large scale basis, and please rein in your local self-destructives. ]
Interesting, right? Though apparently they might or might not appear again for a little while.
A squad shrouded in mystery. ▓▓▓▓▒ has met them once, and others can only guess at the members' identities from rumors. Members of the squad all have advanced AI and high capacity for independent operation. Rumor has it that Squad 404 usually deals with ░▓▒▓▓▓▒▓▓▒▒▒░░

Date: 2020-06-16 09:45 pm (UTC)Oh.
No, not really.
[. . . he may have exhausted hand gestures for her instead of words but YOU KNOW. IT'S FINE. cat's outta the bag, so what can they do. . .?]
. . . I did know about it beforehand, though. [a pause] I just. . . didn't think it was the wisest thing to share with the group as a whole.

All that aside. . . [he says as he goes for the coffee maker] Did you get any other information from them?

Asked about the mysterious visitor some of you have been mentioning. Didn't get much.
Sorry to disappoint.

No, that sounds about right. That's exactly what I got from them when trying to ask about our jade-masked friend, too.

Date: 2020-06-16 10:54 pm (UTC)Mmm. Lili asked if they appeared every Thursday, but apparently they don't. So. . . we have no idea when they're going to show up next.
[and in the interim people are??? definitely going to die??? yikes]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-16 10:58 pm (UTC)Huh. I didn't run into them, so...
What do we know about them? Other than that there seems to be no way to contact them like with the Directors, either.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-16 11:00 pm (UTC)I know they don't speak-- they had to write their responses to me in the dirt-- and they don't have an official name.
[though apparently they are Jadericho now]
When I asked if they had been to a game like ours beforehand, or even where they were before arriving in the camp, they just. . . stared at me.
No response.

Date: 2020-06-16 11:12 pm (UTC)... Hm.
But they were fairly forthcoming before that?

Date: 2020-06-16 11:32 pm (UTC)I didn't get to talk to them for long.

Well, maybe we'll just have to hope they'll be more cooperative next time, if there is one.
[ maybe we all just one day scare masky away forever. ]

Date: 2020-06-17 01:39 pm (UTC). . . I feel like this is going to be the worst part of our stay here.

no subject
Date: 2020-06-17 07:37 pm (UTC)And now we're back to waiting again for things to unfold.
[ and lbr, people are going to die in the meanwhile for no good reason. ]
... I wonder if there's a way to get a message to them somehow, even if they can't appear.

Date: 2020-06-17 10:51 pm (UTC)You know, when I asked Heart about Jack, he talked about passing them messages while we were here in camp.
Jade Mask might be similar, right?
