You didn't think the palaces were over, did you?

Same here--if we end up burning this whole place down trying to deal with the algae, that's going to put us into more danger...

[Like, the last thing we need is a time limit--]

...But given how wet the algae is, maybe we can try? If we have anyone who can put the fire out...

[supherb]

[Arven sure wishes he could set the algae on fire. However...]

Sunrise tried fire already- it didn't do anything.

[destage]

Darn. Figured it was worth a shot.

[Sayaka has been way too focused on the fight, granted, but her lips purse. Man, does she feel more and more useless...]

[supherb]

If only we could just light it all up...

[cleansewithfire]

Some of us picked up items along the way here, yes? We could try using them.

[ She does realise that this sounds very silly considering some of the objects obtained include umbrellas and spyglasses, but she has assumed they know that this being a mindscape means it doesn't have to follow normal world logic. ]

[destage]

[That's...Sayaka perks a bit at that, actually, pulling out a spyglass.]

How useful do you think this is going to be, you think? Do you think maybe...maybe we can reflect and intensify some kind of light on it...?

[cleansewithfire]

[ Sunrise pulls out her phone. ]

This is one possible option. Arven also has a lantern, and the algae seems drawn to the light of the big lantern...

[supherb]

I've got a backup lantern... The algae looks attracted to the big lantern, d'you think they'd be drawn to this one too?

[He is metaphorically throwing spaghetti at the wall right now.]

[cleansewithfire]

[ Let's be real, they all are right now. ]

Ms. Sayaka has a spyglass. We could try using it to reflect the light from your lantern...?

[destage]

...I'm willing to give it a try if you are, Arven-kun?

[It's the best shot we've got from preventing us from getting algae all over, from the sound of it.]

[supherb]

It's better than doing nothing!

[He reaches around to unclip the lantern from his backpack.]

Where should we reflect the light to?

[destage]

Hmm...

[...Sayaka did not think that far ahead, but she looks around the arena and pauses a bit.]

Do you think maybe if we direct it further down one of the halls--one of them will try to go back towards it, maybe?

[...SUNRISE-SAN HELP--]

[cleansewithfire]

[ Why are you asking her, she's just as clueless. ]

I am not sure if that is how algae growth works, but we may as well try.

[ Throwing spaghetti at the wall and finding what sticks, hopefully. ]

[destage]

[listen you're the closest thing to a competent adult who ISN'T on the floor or confused, we'll take what we can get--]

We can always try something different if that doesn't work!

[supherb]

This algae isn't normal anyway. If we can at least make it grow toward a different light source then we're on the right track!

[With a little help from Hestia (and so he doesn't have to dig for his matchbook), he gets the candle in the lantern lit.]

[destage]

[Sayaka nods her head, pulling out the spyglass and ready to follow the direction to aim. (But if she has to pick a direction, she'll pick the algae that's closest to coming into the arena--)]

Ready, Arven-kun? Let's give this our best shot!

[JUST POINT HER AND LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD.]

[strawsandals]

Don't hold back. I've got one more if things go wrong.

[ Thank god for two spyglasses... ]

[destage]

Thank you. Let's hope for the best.

[it's always sunny theme: back to the drawing board!!!]
