3RD DAY - [Voice]

[babel_hacker]

We all managed to get out of that full moon thing in one piece. Since it's like last month, we can assume another one might come up for next month's, too.

[He pause, just for a moment.]

Also, I've been thinking of compiling data on the Shadows. Mostly on their strengths and weaknesses we know so far. I'm pretty sure some of us are aware of one particular Shadow type that's immune to physical hits. [How many people hit those Visceral Mayas before they realise it's futile by now?] It'd be helpful if we put together a database about them, so we can refresh our memories on the enemies. Or be careful of who to avoid.

...On a related note, make sure you're with someone that can use magic. If you can use magic, learn to fight or have someone that can fight with you. It's dangerous to face Shadows you can't even put a dent on alone.

[A thoughtful pause.]

Yeah, that's all I have to say.

I can help you with that.

I've been trained to store data... even though I'm not a robot.

[babel_hacker]

Thanks, Kaito.

Do you... [How to say this?] ...know what to do?

[Video]

[totally_blue]

We have to observe them by testing our attack effects on them. That's how we gain data.

[babel_hacker]

Worse case scenario, whoever's in our group unable to attack them. But I know someone that can help get data in that case.

Travel with someone who can use elemental attacks? Gee, how clever, I'd have never thought of that.

Making some kind of database is probably a good idea, though.

[babel_hacker]

Should I take it you tried beating up one of those physically immune Shadows?

Once we gather the information, I'll program the database and spread it.

Assholes made me spend all month looking for someone who could shoot fire...

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Did you find anyone?

[Voice]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Huh. Beat me to it - though, I admit my idea was going to gloss over the finer points of "how to fight shadows" in favor of other things about 'em. Your idea's probably got more practical applications.

[Voice]

[babel_hacker]

We can combine both of our ideas. Mine is just to cover both magic and physicals, depending on which Shadow we encounter.

[Voice]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me. I'm looking more at the "why" and "what" about 'em in general... I figure if I'm lucky, we can start predicting how they'll act and maybe even how to get rid of them without having to use trial-and-error.

[A pause.]

I still can't believe some of them are invincible to getting hit physically.

[Voice]

[babel_hacker]

I'm interested in that, too. How they move, where they come from or how they multiply.

[Beat.]

It took me a bit to realised that when none of my attacks seem to work.

[Voice]

[gaveupfeeling.livejournal.com]

I can keep track of my findings.

[Voice]

[babel_hacker]

Will you share them with us?

[Voice]

[gaveupfeeling.livejournal.com]

Would I tell you about it otherwise?

[Voice]

[babel_hacker]

Just to be sure. What's your name?

[omgwtfateotl.livejournal.com]

In that case... I think my scanning ability would be useful! I'd be more than glad to help!

[Looks like Madoka's been getting bigger boosts of confidence ever since she started becoming more and more useful to the team.]

[babel_hacker]

Thanks, Madoka! I'm hoping to hear that from you!

[Her scanning ability would be a great help, but Atsuro doesn't want to push her.]

[omgwtfateotl.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Please don't hesitate on asking me to accompany you during explorations... Oh! That reminds me! I can heal now too, so I hope I'm able to be of more help to everyone.

[babel_hacker]

Healing? That's great! We can always use more healers around.

[Even finding out they can't really 'die' here for real, Atsuro doesn't want to challenge it.]

I'm thinking of exploring during the weekend, but that depends on everyone's answers and plans.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

That should help.

[Audio]

[babel_hacker]

Yep. Will you help out?

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

If I find anything out, I'll let you know.

[voice]

[ex_cashcow493]

Why would I stand with someone that uses sorcery?

[voice]

[babel_hacker]

There's at least one Shadow that's immune to physicals. So hitting them won't work at all, which is why magic is needed.
