[color=tan]“Do you really think anyone is going to be the right state of mind to be consolidating knowledge like that?”[/color] Maybe not Mystic Prophecy. Maybe not those who were already broken and scared, crying to themselves that they were going to die. But they’d gone through tragedy and fear, and even if they struggled, they were still here, still working for something. That was worth...something, right? To just hide away and to pray that the glitch would be fixed was wishful thinking. 

After all, how long would it take them in the real world? Hours? Days? Weeks? Time moved differently in Pariah. Hours in the real world were [i]days[/i] in game.  Would they have to wait in their perspective a month to be saved? Or a year? 

[color=#98A9B1]“Maybe not everyone who has gone through a truly traumatic experience will want to help. I wouldn’t try and demand help from Luci, or Priscilica or Leaves. If you or your brother didn’t want to help, I would understand. But I think it’s a better plan than simply waiting around to be saved. Because...with things as dire as they are now, I don’t know [i]when[/i] there could be a fix to get us out of the game. And i’d rather be proactive in learning what we can now before things get worse.”[/color]

Alja’s outburst, Rael’s comments, the others were already at each other’s throats. Sif’s words did strike him true; would anyone truly want to work together now? Especially after they were so easily brought to nearly attack each other? Benkei really wondered exactly how well his plans would work. 

After all, his plans were good in [i]theory[/i] but events like last night proved they weren’t perfect. Even the best plans were easily railroaded.
