Idea. Our jealousy gauge's capacity is 10 underground, so...

> How deep of a hole counts as underground?
> Is the ground in this area soft?

Not that we'd want to sit in a hole for very long, but at least it'd clear our head so that we can explain what's going on to whoever followed us.

I doubt we can get deep enough for that to work. But, well, wasn't it stated that jealousy overload results in unsafe energy buildup and release (translation: uncontrolable attacks)? So:

>Aim skyward.
>Blast away with all the energy we have.

Sure, we'll probably be worn out for a while, but it should solve the jealousy problem.

> Not all of it; we're keeping it high (just not too high) to guard against Kikuri's curses.

Edit: If we're disregarding Guy's post, disregard this one too.

Hey, Whatthe and Guy, hold off on doing that. If Purvis's last entry doesn't work, then we'll try other options. Right now, we're trying to beat it by overcoming it with will (or, in Purvis' words, by using reverse psychology on ourself).

Also, where did you get the idea that keeping our jealousy high was guarding us against Kikuri?

Okay, I edited my second post; the first one's just information-gathering.

From back in Part 2. Could be wrong though, come to think of it...

All right, then. We'll try Purbis's idea first.

Doesn't work that way, Guy: even if it's no longer appilcable, it's still a lingering resentment/envy in Parsee's heart. You know those times when you were jealous when someone beat you in a competition or got a better grade in school than you, and you later got over it? Parsee CAN'T, except in the most physical, mentally exhausting, humiliating way.

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #356 on:** February 20, 2011, 05:16:10 PM »

Which is why we're forgetting about being jealous of them completely. Unless anyone else has any better ideas, because I don't.

Must reduce jealousy level. Um... oh, idea!
