Well, a more complicated one, based on what we've been told about this place so far... But where I'm from, we got closer to our wishes by competing in tests of strength and strategy, not just indulging in whatever we wanted.
...That's not much of a catch. You just have to be strong enough not to get killed.
[That's definitely how it works. She pauses, though, with a laugh.]
Well, I think we'll probably be fine for a while. It mentioned something about justice in those instructions, right? I think most people would at least want to hold off on killing anyone until they know what kind of form that "justice" takes.
Justice? We'll see how long that takes, but I guess they also didn't mention how long we're supposed to be here or how much we're supposed to indulge.... or well, I'm sure there are other fine print things that'll come up, if you're looking for things to be suspicious about.
I don't need to look too hard! This whole thing is suspicious. You read the part where they said they won't even show their faces when they come find us, right?
Did someone dislike them that much? Still, humans are usually weak enough to beat in a fight without something like that, aren't they? Although I guess it would take a while to find them all...

[They also clearly need adult supervision as a whole, judging by the locations page.]
The administrators back home would be much better at this.
no subject
How curious, though. ]
Administrator? Were you in a similar situation back home?

[ No wonder Endorsi agreed, if so. ]

[She frowns, though.]
But doesn't that seem suspicious to you? What kind of place gives you everything you wanted through indulgence and not hard work?
no subject
[ Killing can be an indulgence to some. After all, they don't know if there are sociopaths here. ]
Because who knows? Maybe the person who covered the room cheese would also cover it in blood some other day?

That they know more about us than we do about them, too.

Who even powers this whole thing? What's going to give us the power to get what we want? There has to be something, doesn't there?
It doesn't have to be a who.
no subject
Not a person? Do you know something else that would be able to do all this?
no subject
Or anything that could operate like it, I guess.
no subject
How interesting! It must have been difficult to grab hold of. Harder than what they're putting us through here?
no subject
[ Casually, like a battle royale isn't much. ]
no subject
Really? Isn't that way too lucky? Does that happen often?
no subject
Medb makes a dismissive gesture with her hand. ]
Seven times when someone's trying to destroy humanity. Or something.
no subject
As some kind of failsafe to make sure someone can wish that humanity won't be destroyed?

Miraculously. Very, very miraculously.
[ She can't stress enough how miraculous. ]
no subject
[Curious.]
How did they manage it? Were they unusually strong?
no subject
[ Medb huffs, as if thinking about them is part bothersome and part vexing. ]
Bu she managed to form enough bonds with other Heroic Spirits that she could fight with them.
