The world would be destroyed? Somehow, Doce's brain wouldn't process that one.<span style="font-style: italic">Rule number one: don't panic.</span>While the shouting match progressed, she swapped bodies back from Soren to Lucy, and stood up after Zach had had his way with the GM. Quietly, she walked over to him and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Come on now," she said. "Leave the man alone. Sometimes the worst things are done with the best intentions. And beating each other up isn't going to get us anywhere." She didn't make eye contact with the GM. She knew she would start blushing if she did.<br/><br/>She turned to face everyone, and she could feel her knees getting weak, even though her fear of speaking was minimal. But she put on a brave face. "Well, we're in a pretty bad way right now," she started, "But this situation is still manageable. As of yet, there aren't any boss monsters crossing into our world, and the answers to the problems we're having are simple enough." She took a pause, and spread her arms open, beginning to speak with them, which was somewhat uncharacteristic. "Generally, anything that can kill can be killed, so we should set our sights on destroying all the boss monsters. If it proves ineffective, we find some way to lock them away where they can't do any damage. Then, to keep the barrier between the worlds from collapsing... Until we can find a way to properly regulate the number of NPCs in our world, we temporarily disable log outs, and avoid death. From what I gather, they can only enter our world when we open a passage by leaving ourselves."<br/><br/>What she was proposing was extreme, and she knew it. She also knew that her future plans were even more extreme. She gave them all a moment to let it sink in.<br/><br/>"Maybe I don't seem like much of a leader to you, and you'd rather follow Rukia, or wait for JD to come back. But what I lack in charisma and experience, I make up for with ingenuity and results. Not to toot my own horn, but, back in the Beta, when most of the players were just trying to survive or waging mock wars between the armies of the overseer and the resistance, I organized an infiltration, killed the Overseer, and freed everybody. I kept quiet because I was ready for a break from all that, but I think I've got another round left in me if you need it."
