Discussion Alice in Borderland

Yeah, although as far as we can tell the players haven't been given any abilities that transcend an average human, but will find out as we go further.

 

Yeah, agreed

All good dude, it's not like it's very important lol. Good to be flexible. Happy thanks giving to you too (I think)!

 

Yeah all good dude. I know how much of a time sink troubleshooting anything can be. Might take 5 minutes of 15 hours.

I'll be honest, in the previous moment I also never considered him having more than one gun. It's such a simple oversight with catastrophic consequences. He was facing the stairs and the killer had his back to the stairs, and he yeeted him down backwards. He actually still hit his head as he has blood in the next panel on his head, but I guess the killed was more stunned because it wasn't expected, and he fell backwards. It also looked like he landed on him. But considering it seems like he hit his head hard enough to bleed, I feel like he should've either have a concussion or be KOed.

Yeah, that timing is a little too convenient. On like 1/0 seconds remaining.

Yeah, which plays into even friends being pit against each other potentially. Pretty fucked.

We will see before, but I'm assuming by stealing cards he's getting the points.

 

Yeah, I would assume that'll happen.

LMAO yup.

I assumed that, yeah,

Yeah, plus I don't think there were ever "rules" given aside from in the games, and they never mentioned you can't take the cards, so makes sense the can be taken.

 

I would assume Arisu

 

It could happen

 

Chapter 10 was good. Karube is trying his best looking for a working car in order to look into the radio hint. He noted that canned foods have an expiration date of only about 6 - 12 months into the future, so now this is raising time/date/year issues. He mentions slipping through time, but wouldn't it be in the past if the expiration is "closer" to their original year? He's got a nasty bruise from when he fell down and grabbed the railing, he suspects he broke something.

Things got a little awkward between Chota and Shibuki when Chota walked in on her changing.

I guess the adrenaline is hitting Arisu as he seems to be enjoying things. Hindsight is 20/20 for others like Shibuki, realising how much they took the peace and safety they had for granted.

So Shibuki only arrived there three days ago, she hadn't been there prior to Arisu and the others, or just barely before. She was lucky to meet two travellers already accustomed to Borderland and they gave her the run down.

The game she participated on indicated one participant per train, with no time limit or prize. The game was ranked two of hearts and they had to pass through the train's four cars to reach the front, and would then be dropped off at the nearest station. The challenge being that one of the four cars were filled with a toxic gas tat killed anything that breathed it in. Players were given an oxygen mask with three oxygen cartridges holding 5 minutes of clean air each, and once a cartridge was in use, it needed to either be fully used or it'd be lost. Each cart door was locked and would open 5 minutes after the previous door opened, so if the cart had the gas, they'd be locked in with it for the 5 minutes until the next car opened. with 4 cars, they'd have to breath in one car due to having only three cartridges.

In the end, they all used a catridge for the first cart. If they were more observant before going in, they would've seen flowers not dying. Still toxic gas may not kill flowers straight away, right? In the end, Shubuki was broken psychologically and gave up, she walked into the third car intending to die, but was fortunate enough that it didn't have the gas. So she completed the game with the saved cartridge. Shibuki waited for the others to arrive, but they never came.

The fear of death has lead Shibuki and Chota to "have fun". Feel like that wasn't unexpected. I kind of wonder if Shibuki is genuine, or is actually manipulating Chota for her own gain. She seems honest, at this point.

Karube finally found a car with barely any battery, but it was enough for the radio to spit out a cryptic message: "We know the answer. Those who seek, gather at the beach."

A sense of foreboding, Arisu narrating that he hadn't realised the four of them were drifting apart. Sounds like the next game will be bad, which was the following day. The next game's level is seven of hearts! Yikes.
