Kronii was able to take out Bae, and it sounded like Mumei, Sana, Gura, and Fauna had already been taken out. From what she could overhear on voice chat, Mumei accidentally killed herself at the beginning of the match, while Sana and Gura took out Fauna, but not before Fauna took out Sana. Kronii had seen Gura once, but wasn't able to get a good shot and went back into the shadows before she lost track of her.

Going by the score list, it looked like Gura was taken out, likely by the only player left, which was...

Kronii sighed.

Kaela.

Oh god, the other ones I could wait out, but if Kaela's camping, then there's no way I'm going to out-camp her.

Another bout of silence.

Yeah, nuts, we're both camping. I'm not going to be able to out-camp someone who does 10 hour streams and has autism powers to grind to level 300 of "Phasmo".

Kronii glanced around a bit, Well, at least I have plenty of time to strategize. But then again, Captain Autismo is doing the exact same thing.

She went silent, pouring over her options. Judging by what Gura was saying before she went off of voice chat, she had to have been by the dam, which means that Kaela was liking camping in--

Oh man, that's a REALLY good spot, Kronii gave a deeper, more painful sigh.

She felt a little more comfortable, given that Kaela was VERY likely to try to out camp her, which means that Kronii had the rest of the map to gather up some resources and make a plan. She headed out, collecting ammunition and weapons across the rest of the map; and she was correct: Kaela was very likely patiently camping in an extremely hard to attack spot across the dam. Having the best equipment was a benefit, but likely was not going to help her against Kaela.

Alright then, psychological warfare it is, Kronii opened up the general voice chat.

"Hey Kaela."

Silence.

"Kaela, come on, I'm lonely. Maybe we should sing camping songs while we try to outcamp each other."

Kronii heard a heavy breath before the audio cut out Kaela's laughter.

Good, she is at least listening to the chat.

Kronii judged how long the audio cut was, and took a look on the map for the different routes around the dam. There was one with two sections she could hide in. Judging by the audio cut, if she could keep Kaela distracted three times, then she could make it across and sneak around to compromise Kaela's camping position.

"H-hey Kaela."

"Hello?"

Kronii lined herself up to the first run, "Want to hear some WaAaaaAAcKy kids jokes?"

Kaela stuttered, "Uh, O.K.?"

Kronii cleared her throat, readying her stupid jokes she copied from somewhere else, "Are you superstitious?"

"No?"

"Oh, then you must be regular stitious."

There was a blank stare, "Kronii, are these really jo--"

Kronii interrupted, "Do you write with your left hand?"

Kaela replied, even more confused, "N...No???"

"That's weird, I usually write with a pen."

Kaela chuckled, "What are thes--"

Kronii interrupted again, One more and then I can start, "Can you come and fix dinner?"

Kaela laughed a little, "What?"

"Why would you, is it broken?"

Kaela cut out, and Kronii moved to the first hiding spot, "Kronii, these are so stupi--!"

Kronii cut her off again, "Did you know that an elephant never forgets?"

"Oh, yes, I hear that elephants are the ones with the really good memory, is that ri--"

"Big deal, what does he have to remember!"

Kaela's audio cut out, and Kronii moved to the next spot.

"Kronii, you steal these joke, right? These so dumb."

"Excuse me."

"Why do you steal dumb joke?"

Kronii dead-panned, "Excuse me."

Kaela went silent for a moment to let Kronii explain herself.

Kronii waited a second before saying, "Thank you," she continued her dead pan, "I thought the knife thrower at the circus was terrible. He threw all those knives and missed."

Kronii went out to run to the next spot as she heard the audio cut and immediately got head shot.

"OH COME ON! @#$!ING CAMPER!"

She heard Kaela's audio cut out for a while intermittently between gasps for air.

After collecting herself for a millisecond, Kronii raged again, "DID YOU SEE ME THE WHOLE TIME DOWN THE BRIDGE?!"

Kronii could only see Kaela's head bob up and down in confirmation between her silent laughter.

Kronii shook her head, Stupid camper.

Stupid, cute, kouhai camper.
