Going through this week by week will wear some people down.

[saillune]

[Well... she nods at that, her expression sobering a little.]

It does kind of seem like... a lot of this Game is designed around using fear to pressure people into acting rashly.

[factoring]

Only the team with the highest point total can win. Anyone who's the last person standing of their team will be erased immediately. It's a harsh system.

[saillune]

True...

Announcing only the bottom teams seems like a good way to make people panic, too...

[factoring]

It's not organized in a way most people can look at with a level head. Even if they do, the options here are brutal.

[saillune]

I know it won't be easy for everyone, but...

[...]

What about you, Miss Kyoko? Are you worried...?

[She looks like she can keep a cool head, but it's hard to tell how people are really feeling.]

[factoring]

No need to worry about me.

[ She gives a reassuring smile. ] I'll handle everything that comes my way.

[saillune]

Ehe... When you say it that confidently, it's easy to believe!

[factoring]

Good. Because it's the truth.

[saillune]

[Kyoko is so cool...]

Oh, that reminds me! What was that ability you used during that trial? It was like a big suit of armour!

[The healing robot...]

[factoring]

That's how my Healing Aura manifests.

[A big black robot to stab her allies.]

[saillune]

But why does it look so cool!?

[factoring]

They're a program I work with in my world. That's probably why it manifested that way.

[saillune]

A program...?

[This does not look like the face of someone who has any idea of what that means.]

[factoring]

Hmm... [She can and she will explain computers if she has to, but the simple thing is just this:] It's something made to help people complete tasks on a specific device.

[saillune]

[Devices... people can do tasks on. She pulls out her phone and holds it up.]

Devices like this?

[factoring]

Something like that, but with a bigger screen.

[saillune]

Ohh! [Close enough. Probably.]

What kind of tasks can you use it for?

[factoring]

It had a wide range of applications. But I usually use it for dealing with bad actors, and finding where they're hiding.

[saillune]

And then you summon that big knight to punish them!?

[amelia doesn't know shit about fuck, but cool robot go brrr, probably is how it works]

[factoring]

Something like that, yes.

[ It's not internet awareness month yet. ]

[saillune]

What kind of "bad actors" do you go after? Are they like... criminals?

[factoring]

Essentially. They're people who steal from others, or cause other problems for people who are just trying to get through their day.
