[she's quiet for a moment, and then she shakes her head.]

It isn't as rare as I would like.

[allomantic]

Then... Perhaps it is best we do not get our hopes up. It seems unlikely that they are genuine.

[saying something like that is her idea of kindness, unfortunately.]

[countermeasures]

...

[she nods slowly]

I'll give them the chance to prove themselves one way or another, but I'll try not to hope too hard for a positive outcome.

[allomantic]

It would be best to put our trust in ourselves to achieve that.

[countermeasures]

[she nods again]

I definitely agree with you about that.

[allomantic]

[nodding]

They sounded as though they might have something for us tomorrow, so... Maybe it will help us learn more about this place and what is possible.

[countermeasures]

I hope so.

[...]

And hopefully, whatever it is won't involve any more of those strange questions on cards.

[allomantic]

I would take them over the clowns, honestly...

[countermeasures]

[she thinks about it



and then nods.]

Yes, you're quite right.

[allomantic]

Did you have an experience with them as well?

[countermeasures]

One of them ran at me and ... exploded, and I felt really tired afterward. It was unpleasant.

[allomantic]

[nodding slowly]

Apparently they are not normally meant to do that.

[countermeasures]

Even if that's true, I think I'd have a hard time not expecting a normal one to do that if I ever came across one.

[allomantic]

It is difficult to forget.

[exhausting.]

[countermeasures]

I just hope we don't see them again.

[allomantic]

At least the zombies do not explode...

[countermeasures]

Yes, they're much easier to deal with than the clowns.
