Considering I only know three other people here besides you, I feel like answering that question might get me in a little trouble.
[ which is as good as saying "harrington. harrington is a sucker." isn't it? oops. :D ]
Hey, what do you mean "playing it that way"? It *is* that way. But run the codeword idea by me one more time? Do you really think we might need something like that?
It could work. Maybe. Vecna quite literally got into our heads, so... he would know. Right? [ except then how did he not know all about the plan to kill him, as soon as he sashayed into max's mind? it's a mystery ] And if anything, it would give him another piece of reality to make the vision seem that much more real. Not that he's here, obviously, but all just to say that I don't know if it would work against a threat like him.
Do you think we might actually run into evil clones of ourselves here..? It's not impossible, I guess.
[ ....look she's trying ok she wants to hear him out!!! ]
he would but maybe the monsters here don't? i don't know, nancy, this doesn't feel very vecna like anymore.
but fine, it doesn't work against anything that can read our minds. [ but it would make him feel so much better so don't take this away from him!! ]maybe?
the monster that chases me is pretty specific to me so... why not this place coming up with an evil clone? [ or is he the evil clone and maybe it'll come up with an eddie people would like, find more palatable? that's a possibility too. ]
It doesn't. And yet I'm still ready to hear the clock's chime at any moment. Okay, okay. You're right, we don't know for sure. And we'll have no way of knowing until it happens. So. Okay. What did you pick for your codeword? Has anyone else picked one yet?
hopefully we don't. but i don't know how he could make this worse.
hey now! this network thing could be monitored. watergate style, wheeler. i'm totally not revealing any major identifying secrets like that while someone could be listening in.
you'll have to pick one and find out in person! also don't repeat it to anyone outside of the group.
Maybe. But I'm not counting him out just yet. For someone who really only pinpoints a person's baseline insecurities and then turns them into a nightmare, he is surprisingly creative.
[ no biggie, though. vecna finding his way into her mind definitely hasn't gotten under nancy's skin enough that she questions if any of this is even real on a daily basis or anything.......... and, well, shit. it definitely didn't occur to nancy that their phones could be tapped. forget about code words, they need code phrases. ]
I really wish we didn't need to rely on these things so much. I mean, I have a walkie-talkie, and Steve does too, but they basically eat through batteries, so they should really only be used for emergencies.
[ well the point of a word is you use it in a phrase so really he's got you on that front, nancy! ]yeah, me too.
the technology isn't safe, nothing's safe.
i guess we have to stick around each other more often or think up some emergency plans for when things go sideways? like where we meet up or what do we do. you might have to be in charge of those.

true, true. my apologies for questioning it, fair lady!
if a clone, evil or fake version of us shows up, we need a word that’ll identify who’s the real person and who isn’t.
vecna did shit like that in dreams, right? why can’t it happen here?
