Not gonna begrudge anyone who wants to pander to over-inflated egos, but while we're stuck here we should be doing something useful to ensure everyone can survive.

- first-aid: Do you know it? Do you have a kit prepared for an emergency? Is there anyone here who has ACTUAL medical training?

- food & water: What's safe to consume? Has anyone encountered something that made them sick? Have we figured out how to safely use the apartment appliances just in case other people get trapped here?

- surroundings: Do we have a map of the area? Has anyone run into any other dangerous places besides the arena?

- defense: Are you capable of defending yourself if you're attacked? If not, I can at least help with that. If anyone else has any experience training personnel in combat, you should make yourselves available for people who need help.

[Yeah that's gonna be fun when Rainier has to find out what a gun is.]

That's why we need to look for a pattern, if there is one. I've set up camp next to the area before, I can do so a second time. I was brought here prepared for a several week journey so I've got my tent and everything I need for it.

If a third wave arrives, compare it to the amount of time between the first and second and see if we can deduce if there's a set length of time or a variable we can account for. Best case scenario, we can narrow it down to only a scant few days we actually need to keep a guard up and ready. Worst case scenario, if enough people are willing, we can set a rotating single watch to the area that alerts others as soon as there's activity. The phones should make that easy - no need to wait for ravens or messengers.

[... In spite of the 'buffon meat-head fighter' archetype some of his team are determined to set him in, Rainier was once a commander in one of the most feared armies in his world, and a dammed good one at that. Also one used to working with tech that involves scrawling out a long note by hand, attaching it to the leg of a bird and praying for a favorable wind. Phones, Boss. Phones. This shit is a fucking cakewalk.]

[big boss would be impressed that you know how to handle a phone blackwall except he thinks EVERYONE knows how to use phones. or they should at least.]

Sounds like you got a pretty solid plan, then. I'm willing to volunteer myself, if you need the extra hand. I don't have much else going on at this point, and I'm still not sure how I want to tackle the issue of these "gods".

Right now I'd just suggest daily check-ins to the arena. I think it'll be a big enough commotion when it happens again, if it happens again, but maybe someone can catch something early.

Alright, I'll keep an eye out. If I see anything, I'll make sure to put out an alert.
