[ YES I FOUND A FOX. ]

Do you speak to Fox much? ... I'm... guessing this thing that happened happened to them. Are they okay?

[sacredchants]

[ LMAO..... ]

I speak to them at least once a week.

[ and she's going to be super hesitant about this for one reason or another. ]

...but they've told me that they'll be fine.

[chanteuser]

[ she sighs, sounding genuinely relieved ]

Good. I'm glad they're.. well. Doing better.

[sacredchants]

[ looks at week 4 with concern....

but she'll nod. ]

I hope it continues to trend that way.

[chanteuser]

[ remember when we thought games post crau would be more chill? ]

Me too. They don't deserve to suffer because of us.

[sacredchants]

[ we're chill but like. in another way??? ]

I won't let anything happen to them. I... I don't know if they're all good but I can't be part of the problem.

[chanteuser]

I don't want anything to happen to them either. Do you... know anything we can do?

[sacredchants]

Obey the rules about sharing.

That's all I know and all they'll let me know.

[chanteuser]

But that doesn't help if things happen to drop teams to the bottom of the list...

[sacredchants]

No... I want to know how Wolf has always been at the top though.

[chanteuser]

... I don't know. Killing doesn't generate as much nova as you might think, Izumo. I asked, and it's a combination of things.

...

Wolf's team might have just been lucky with how much nova the things they do have been generating.

[sacredchants]

But what does that mean? We've all been doing the same things, haven't we? [ right? ] The only difference that I can see is the number of bodies out there.

[ does this mean tiger has lost the most? or?? ]

[chanteuser]

Eight people in our second week here, and eight this week. Those... scenarios count for nova too. I don't know how much, but if it's a lot it could be a big boosting factor depending on how many of what team go.

[sacredchants]

[ ....

hm. ]

Have you found a lot of your team, Alex?

[chanteuser]

Only one other person. I... don’t want to ask around too much because I don’t want to put Bunny at any risk.

So I’ve only asked a few people.

[sacredchants]

It's the same with me; I've only found one other of my team but nothing else.

[chanteuser]

It’d be nice if I had a way to gather them all somehow. It doesn’t count if you find a teammate, only if you ask someone who isn’t on your team too... so...

[ she’d know where to direct her attention ]

[sacredchants]

So I've heard but—what does knowing all of our teammates do? Does it give us a particular boon of sorts?

[chanteuser]

I'm not sure. I think I know someone who found their whole team, so I could check...

But it could be helpful. If just to know about your own rankings and where you stand.

[sacredchants]

I know someone who knows their whole team, but they weren't ranked at the top.

[ SO THIS IS REALLY BAFFLING?? ]

[chanteuser]

Same. [ lmao it could even be the same person smh ] We know more about how these rankings work, but not enough. Just that it's based on nova, but so many things generate it that isn't a huge clue.

[sacredchants]

[ yeah, totally probable. ]

I mean, the rankings are technically only important if you want to have a wish.

[chanteuser]

But why add that new rule? It basically punishes leaders for not being higher up the rankings.

[sacredchants]

Ask the Realm that because I don't know. The leaders are at the mercy of what's written just as much as we are.

[chanteuser]

It's not really fair, that they get punished for something none of us understand.
