We'll need a plan just in case we can't, too. It'd be nice if we had more backup, but I'm not going into whatever the hell's coming up relying on it.
[He's never met a single one of these deadzo residents so he has no personal ties or affinity or trust. He also actively dislikes Revenge, so there's that. Help.]
[Kind of? But not quite, since they were presumably people once? Help.]
...Kiyomitsu's right, though. We'll need everyone on the same page, if we can manage it. [If it were up to him, they would be having an emergency meeting with everyone like, right now, but waves hands vaguely in rp] We have to make sure everyone's prepared.
[To fight, yes--but more importantly, to make the hard choices, if they need to be made.]
Something like that. The items seem to be holding them for now... which is why I'm hoping that they weren't affected by what Dreamer-san did. We never did get an item for Dreamer-san to bring them with us, so...
[who. who knows what's going on there, buzen doesn't.]
We'll consolidate all our information at once tomorrow. We've been able to get a clear look of our enemy. It's daunting - but we'll figure out how to address the power gap so we can win.
[there's like
not really another option, right? if it's between victory and defeat then they need only race toward victory]
We all got gumballs, right? We can see how to split up our resources and use them effectively.
It's probably that journal -- the one that was in Heliotrope.
[any other situation Itsuki would be like 'someone took the initiative to get their shit back? good for them' but it's dreamer so he's only scornful about it,]
holds his arm open for itsuki to lean against him in case he for some reason needs to be comforted about this gumball? he doesn't know he's just following the boyfriend-shaped instinct]
I turn into a big cat. [wait,] Oh, and I can find something that we're looking for... but I'll want to play for ten minutes first. So uh, try to remind me to use it early...
The journal is probably it... They asked me to get it for them, and then didn't give any of us permission to look inside. But it's pretty important to them... even though Momo-san didn't know what it contained.
What kinda weirdo gumball did you get, Itsusu? [First and foremost because that's most important, but also:] If their souls're tied to those items, maybe we can destroy the book and it'll kill him, too.
[lets Kashuu interrogate Itsuki as he thinks about this]
Like breaking him... [Maybe??? He doesn't think using color is actually going to work on Dreamer, so if Kashuu's on the right track, then the biggest challenge will be getting close enough to him to actually get at it.] Maybe. He's strong, but... everyone has some kind of weakness.
[Dreamer's will be Itsuki's seductive bear dancing]
Mm.... yeah. [thoughtfully] Momo-san mentioned in the graveyard that they were never sure if they'd be able to come back to their full form... because they'd lost too many pieces of themselves?
I wonder if Dreamer-san managed to go around that, and collect his pieces...
So we'd just have to see if we can break him again.
[Yeah the other swords are talking about Sword Things that make sense to Kashuu and that he is in full agreement with, and that he knows they know he'd be in full agreement with, so he doesn't bother verbalizing that out loud.
Instead he just
reaches out and places a hand on Itsuki's shoulder.]
...Maybe you can use it to distract Dreamer while we go for his journal.
[THEY REALLY CAN DO NOTHING USEFUL FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES AT A TIME. THEY CAN ONLY COUNT TO FIVE!!!!]
Buzen's right, it's kinda similar... We perform for peace by being entertaining! [And seductive question mark.] --What're you gonna transform into when you sing and dance, Itsusu...

He doesn't have anything to add to that because he truly did not meet these mysterious residents,]

Right, our gumballs... I got one.
[he doesn't say anything else]
no subject
He's just glancing at Itsuki at that, though. Maybe he is just waiting to get prompted into sharing? Silly lad! It's fine Kashuu will go first.]
I did, too. It'll let me heal whoever needs it - like, minor levels. But it'll also make everyone trip out for ten minutes.
[WHY.]
no subject
Mine is the one I told you about yesterday. I didn't get a new one--my token just went to my other one.
[His teleporting horse powers]
What do yours do?

Why are these gumballs so weird... [TRIPPING OUT?? PLAYFUL??? well, buzen's sounds cute actually, but like, it's still weird.]
