But if that energy is lost, does it put their wishes at risk?
[Honestly, he doesn't care that much about his own wish. He doesn't even care that much about everyone else's wishes, aside from some concerns he has, as one of the dead. But they're not going to get anywhere if their actions risk the wishes of the Avatars, some of whom will easily wipe them out and start all over with a new group, as many times as it takes to get what they want.
Also--]
I'm a little worried that this thing can't actually grant anyone's wishes at all.
From what I've heard, the creature's consumption of our energy doesn't have to do with the wishes. Only the meter does, and the more full it is, the more things are granted. On the one hand, if that energy is expelled, it could cause problems... but on the other hand, if it finds its way to the meter, then that would be highly beneficial. I'm not sure how symbiotic the relationship is.
[ that last bit though, he nods, brow creasing. ]
... That's always a possibility. [ don't like that! he wants his wish, of course, but... there are others that are a literal matter of life and death. ] Lup seems to think that it'll work, though. So do some of the more cynical of the group - it's just a matter of dealing with the creature, first.
That's good news, then. [One of his worries (hopefully?) put to rest. He sighs, though, pushing his bangs out of his face.] This would be so much easier if Il Dottore was here.
[His shitty mad scientist coworker...]
With any luck, a few of them will join us at the meeting tomorrow, so they'll be able to offer more insight. I'd prefer to keep them well-guarded; it may retaliate against them tonight.
[ SIGHS ] What is it about coworkers who prattle on about this sort of thing that don't make themselves available when it's actually relevant?
[ WHERE IS SHEN YI!!!! ugh!!!!!!! ]
.. I agree, though. I'll likely stay with Lup tonight, just in case. On Monday, she - [ he pauses, here, frowning. ] ... She was more lava than person. It took a long time to calm her back down - all because that thing was infuriated by her helping us.
I'm still halfway-convinced he created our friend in the first place. It's exactly the sort of thing he'd do.
[This is a joke but also not. And normally Childe doesn't care but he also doesn't usually have to deal with it? (gu yun voice) you have terrible taste in allies
Anyway he nods.]
I'll be in the recreation room with Iris and Royce, if you need us. I told her I'd rest at some point, but it might be a while yet.
[Too much thinking to do, and, y'know. Not exactly relaxing sleeping conditions.]
