I don't think so, no. We have to pick very carefully all the same.

Re: Discussion.

[timescars]

. . . How can such a game be worth a memory?

Re: Discussion.

[gateofbabbylon]

These games will happen no matter what. That there's a reward at all is the closest to a bright side there is.

Re: Discussion.

[timescars]

Bright? I'd hardly call it worthwhile.

Re: Discussion.

[gateofbabbylon]

Yes, but we're here now so participation in some capacity is mandatory, even if the situation is bad.

[then as an afterthought realizing this is probably her first game] They aren't always like this, so you know.

Re: Discussion.

[timescars]

Well, I feel much better now.

Re: Discussion.

[gateofbabbylon]

[snort of laughter at that] I'm sure. It doesn't help us now, but you should know that there are all types of games, mostly dependent on the Echo.

Re: Discussion.

[timescars]

Do you know this one?

Re: Discussion.

[gateofbabbylon]

[nodding] Not well, but I've played in their games once before.

Re: Discussion.

[timescars]

I do not think she has our well being at heart.

Re: Discussion.

[gateofbabbylon]

Not at all.

Re: Discussion.

[timescars]

Regardless, we will weather the storm.

Re: Discussion.

[gateofbabbylon]

[nods] We have to.


[scratching his head in yet another afterthought] Did you ever pick a name until you regain the original?

Re: Discussion.

[timescars]

Karasu.

Re: Discussion.

[gateofbabbylon]

[nodding in approval] Sounds like one of Ren's ideas. Am I right?

Re: Discussion.

[timescars]

He chose the name.
