So, wait, if we defend this time, does that mean we gotta attack next time?

Re: ROUND TWO

[soulping]

That is correct.

Re: ROUND TWO

[tatsumi_textiles]

Well.

Shit.

Re: ROUND TWO

[carptricks]

Oi, s'not so bad.

[bumps Ochre's shoulder with his own]

We could cast "petrify," right? That seems like a pretty harmless spell.

Re: ROUND TWO

[tatsumi_textiles]

Is it?

[Ochre honestly has no idea what that word means]

Re: ROUND TWO

[carptricks]

[Kaito is assuming "paralyze" for now, but he's definitely asking for clarification. just in case, you know, the spell is actually a TURN SOMEONE INTO STONE spell]

[which would suck]

I'm kinda hoping it is. Limb paralysis would suck, but s'better than freezing or being electrocuted or being struck blind.

Re: ROUND TWO

[tatsumi_textiles]

Yeah.

[Folding his arms, waiting on an answer]

Re: ROUND TWO

[carptricks]

[OKAY NEVERMIND IT MEANS "TURNING INTO STONE"]

[. . .]

[Kaito's glowering now]

Re: ROUND TWO

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Hesitantly patting him on the shoulder]

It's the Caretaker, I don't think he'd make it all that bad.

Re: ROUND TWO

[carptricks]

It's kind of hard to make "being turned into stone" a good thing, Ochre.

Re: ROUND TWO

[tatsumi_textiles]

If they don't feel it, it'd just be like losin' time, right?

[He's trying very hard to believe in their patron]

Re: ROUND TWO

[carptricks]

[. . . mrrrgh. maybe Kaito should have more faith in him, too. would it just be like going to sleep? or would it be like being trapped in your own body, able to perceive but unable to move?]

I dunno. But I don't know if I'm willing to find out.

Re: ROUND TWO

[tatsumi_textiles]

We've got blind, anyway.

That sucks, but it ain't all that bad.

Re: ROUND TWO

[carptricks]

[a nod]

Right. So that'd be my spell preference, if we were to attack.

Re: ROUND TWO

[tatsumi_textiles]

Blind, then petrify.

Freezin' would suck, and lightning's something you kill with.

[Hence why it's his element]

Re: ROUND TWO

[carptricks]

[Ochre. . .]

S'like you're reading my mind over there, heh.

Re: ROUND TWO

[tatsumi_textiles]

I ain't that dumb. Don't know a whole lot about strategy and shit, but fightin's the one thing I am good at.

Re: ROUND TWO

[carptricks]

Fighting isn't my area of expertise, but Clover's teaching me. I'm getting better.

[he grins]

But defending myself and using tactics that incapacitate the enemy so I can escape or lead them into a trap? That I'm pretty good at.
