During the Null invasion, they certainly needed it.

Especially as they were betrayed by one of their own.

[how to convey humor via text?]

Don't encourage it, it may try.

Right right, Delight or something, wasn't it?

[Peter can't quite tell if it's a joke, but he's just gong to assume it was.]

Some people are into that. I'm definitely not one of those people.

Yes, it was Delight.

No one suspected her of treason, so it was the perfect cover.

[yes, it was a joke. jokes are hard via text when you don't know about LOL or emojis]

I assumed not, you seem a clever young man.

I guess I can see why the gods have trust issues after something like that? If you can't trust your own friends, who can you trust, right?

[He is gonna have to teach her some internet speak like 4real.]

I like to think so. I mean I can get into some pretty stupid stuff sometimes, but I like to call those "learning experiences".

[Sometimes he actually does learn from them. Sometimes.]

Indeed.

It was particularly difficult for Rage, for the two of them had been lovers.

[she desperately needs some pointers]

You're young!

If you're ever going to do stupid things, the time is now.

Right, you mentioned that part.

[internet speak lessons begin asap]

People don't usually encourage me to do stupid things. I'm gonna make sure I do as many stupid things as I can now.

Oh, I had? I apologize.

[what does asap mean?]

Well, if there's a time to do them, the time is now.

What sorts of stupid things do you tend to do?

It's cool. Like I'm not the god's biggest fan but I really can't blame Rage for being pissed about all that, if they were that close, you know?

[As soon as possible, as in right now LESSON 1:]

lol

let's see uh

Fighting things that could probably murder me seems to be a new stupid thing I've adopted.
actually that was a lot of the stupid things i did back home too.
I also did the cinnamon challenge once, never again.

Nor I. Betrayal at the hands of one you love is terrible.

lol?

Fighting? The things here?
And things back home?
What's the cinnamon challenge?

oh, lol means laugh out loud
it's an internet thing

But yeah, I'll fight stuff. Like when new arrivals come in, i'll go try to help them out at the colosseum. didn't have monsters back home, but i got into a couple fights i guess.

cinnamon challenge is where you try to eat a spoon full of cinnamon. Don't do it, it sucks

Oh. How clever!

It's good of you to help the new arrivals.
I try to do that, too, but I missed last month's due to the storm.
What kinds of fights?

It sounds painful.

:)

The storm really made it tough this month, and the monsters were kind of huge? but it wasn't too bad.
i dunno, like fist fights? I don't really know how to label them.

it is super painful ngl

[she is briefly perplexed by the symbol, then tilts her head to the side a bit and oh, it's a smile! how cute!]

That's good. I'm glad you were all able to handle things.
From fistfights to monsters. You must be a quick study!

I mostly just make it up as I go along, but yeah, pretty much.

As long as it's achieving the results you desire, I don't see why that should be a problem.

So far so good, at least? Best way to learn is to just jump right in, right?

I agree. I had some lessons on the sword before the Null came, but experience was my best teacher.

How effective is a sword against a bunch of machines?

Quite effective.
Swords can pierce through plate armor, that's made of metal too.
Finding the CPU was a challenge, but not an insurmountable one.

Huh, cool. So stabbing works, not so much trying to slash at them, I'm assuming?

Yes, stabbing works, though you have to be quick about it!
Otherwise, one of their razors or electric prods might get you first.

Kinda sounds like these things are almost easier to fight than the creepy demon lady.

One on one, they are.
Unfortunately, where one Null goes, its brethren is hot on its heels.
Then you find yourself fighting not one Null, but ten or more.

Right, because of their AI network thing. They must be able to communicate instantaneously.

I wonder if there's a way to like hijack their signal or idk turn off their robo-wifi?

I've been told that they can.
Experience teaches me that it's very effective.
I'm afraid I wouldn't know.
My world has little in the way of machines and nothing like computers.
