>Lucia: Before you go out the door, make a bullet to help Alice think faster and shoot her with it.

Hyper concentrated adrenaline syringe:
Projectile: Syringe
Attribute 1: Allows an ally to think and move faster for three turns
Attribute 2: Gives an ally a chance to deflect attacks
Attribute 3: The ally gains temporary hit points based on their current max hp
Attribute 4: If the ally is hit, the effect increases and lasts three extra turns

Seconding under the contingency that is Derrick also talking with Lucas while this happening. Previous command of mine above.

Derrick: See what Lucas has to say, but first...

Derrick: Some caution is in order, Lucia.
Derrick: Let's make a new bullet to assist Alice?
Lucia: Hmm...
Lucas: That sounds a bit bad faith, don't you think?
Lucas: I really just want to talk. Also I'm concerned about your safety.
Lucas: That's why I want you to come outside, rather than stay in.
Alice: Let's just get this over with.

Alice: Well, here we are.
Lucas: Finally.
Lucas: I've been enlightened. It's honestly very strange. I learned a lot about myself and the world we are currently in.
Lucas: I also learned about the nature of us, and the realm attendants.
Lucas: There is some kind of war going on with them.
Lucas: I just want to share what I learned with you because I also know that when this state wears off, I will forget essentially 99% of it.
Lucia: Hmm... So far so good.
Lucas: So, with what I've shared so far would you like to know more details?

Lucas seems very normal to you... But you can see in Azriel's eye's something is not quite right.

What will you ask about?

>Derrick: ask Lucas to take off his visor, have lucia prepare with her blindfold and to cover Alice's line of sight.

>Why is Alice's house dangerous?
>Is Lucas in control of himself? The realm attendants sounded like he would attack them on sight.

>What is the use of sharing this information if all of you just go screaming mad like Lexii was if Lucas shares this knowledge with you?

>Alice: Don't try to absorb the information. Just see if there is any obvious way you can disrupt it.

Realm Attendants, Reggie been with you from the beginning, and with how much he knows of you. You don't have the slightest clue of them.
>Derrick: What is a Realm Attendant?

>Derrick: ask “Won't we all just go screaming mad like Lexii when you tell us about this?”

>Derrick: inform Lucas that if you listened to him. Wouldn't everyone go mad and screaming like lexxi?

>Why is Alice's house dangerous?
>Is Lucas in control of himself? The realm attendants sounded like he would attack them on sight.

>What is the use of sharing this information if all of you just go screaming mad like Lexii was if Lucas shares this knowledge with you?

Derrick: Why is Alice's house dangerous?
Lucas: ...
Derrick: Are you in control of yourself? The realm attendants sounded like you would attack them on sight.
Lucas: That's true, but I must explain my reasoning first.
Derrick: What is the use of sharing this information if all of us just go mad like Lexii was if you share this knowledge with us?
Lucas: You simply misunderstand. I'll address this point soon afterward.
Alice: ...
Alice: (What you're asking me makes no sense, Aliens.)
Lucas: Did you also have a question, Alice?
Alice: ... No. Just listening.
Derrick: What is a Realm Attendant?
Lucas: That IS the question, is it not?
Lucas: ... Allow me to explain.
Lucas: Firstly your safety, I've come to destroy the realm attendants. This action is already in motion.
Lucas: This is why I asked you to speak outside, If I obliterate the house with you in it, that wouldn't be good now would it?
Alice: ..!!
Derrick: Lucas, calm down. There's no need for that.
Lucas: You don't understand the situation, please keep listening as I address all of your questions.
Lucas: You asked if I was in control. Yes, I am.
Lucas: I just... know more. Know better. I can feel Azriel as a part of who I am so vividly, it's like he's not his own entity anymore.
Lucas: I'm connected to the source of the truth. I will use "Their" handle as to not provoke "Them".
Lucas: Please do not ask any further into the nature of "Them" as I'm being ambiguous to protect you.
Derrick: .......
Lucas: You mentioned going crazy if I explain what I know. That is a misconception.
Lucas: You perceive the truth as information. This "truth" is merely acknowledging the existence of "Them".
Lucas: If you see "Them" or experience "Them" in any form and you are unable to grasp just how unfathomably powerful "They" are the mere thought of having some sort of idea that "They" exist will drive you insane.
Lucas: But other than that, information pertaining to other things granted by "Them" is fair game. It is simply "Them" themselves that is off limits to know.
Alice: This is... A lot.
Alice: But I will say you're not going to touch a hair on DT's head.
Derrick: Or a crumb or feather on Kalem and Reggie.
Lucas: Hmm... They are the loveable sort, eh? It's by design.
Lucas: Now finally, to understand what you're protecting.
Lucas: Realm attendants. What are they really?
Lucas: We know them as tiny little companions that guide us on our adventures.
Lucas: But they have another name.
Lucia: .....
Lucia: Cultivators...
Lucas: Bingo, Lucia!
Lucas: Realm attendants true role is called Sponsor cultivator.
Lucas: They are farmers. Raising us up.
Lucas: Now our role in this world. We are the sponsors. The benefactors to be harvested.
Lucas: We become "ripe" once we reach God tier. They sell us a dream of immortality, as if that is a boon.
Lucas: It's a wicked curse. They suck our lifeforce to maintain this place.
Lucas: We are essentially cattle for them.
Lucas: This is the truth.
Lucia: .....
Derrick: That... Can't be...
Alice: .....
Alice: That's bullshit.
Lucas: Ahh, denial. The first stage.
Lucas: Let me ask you, Alice. Why does DT call you "Master"?
Lucas: Have you ever questioned it?
Lucas: A powerful being, immortal.
Lucas: Timeless.
Lucas: Removed from the rules we are held to in this place.
Lucas: Refers to you as its Master?
Lucas: THAT is the bullshit.
Lucas: You are a refreshing soda that never ends. Of course he'll butter you up with flattering language.
Lucas: We need to destroy them so we can be free. That's what we're all trying to do.
Lucia: We?
Lucas: The elders. The one that awakened me is not insane in a way that I perceive now.
Lucas: But rather, you guys have become the insane.
Lucas: .... He tried to show you, Derrick.
Lucas: But somehow you can resist it. It must be related to your trait.
Lucas: In any case, Alice you are aligned well to receive the truth and learn of "Them". "They" asked me to reach out to you.
Lucas: Garreth is a viable match as well.
Lucas: If you want Derrick and yourself to be safe this is what must be done.
Lucas: I will not force you to receive the truth.
Lucas: But please know you will be an obstacle in which mercy will no longer be an option.
Lucas: As an illusion guardian you are a formidable adversary if against us. So you must be snuffed out.
Lucas: Derrick however has proven harmless to the plan that is taking place so no harm will come to him.
Lucas: What do you think? Or would you like some time?

Lucas has laid out his proposition. Think very carefully of the consequences whether you choose to resist or align with "Them".

1. Accept the truth
2. Deny
3. Take some time

>Alice: Lucas has already “saved” you all by warning of the dangers of god tiering. Convince him that this information is enough to keep the seven of you safe.

>Derrick: Back Alice up, remind Lucas about shadows and how this world allowed you and him to improve in ways the real world couldn’t have.

>Lucia: Back Alice up, remind Lucas you would be dead if it weren’t for the dream world somehow showing you and derrick a way out of your coma.

>Lucia: ask Lucas, Have you considered you maybe the one who's been manipulated? Why would the Elders serve our better interests? It seems like they're trying to convince you to turn on your friends.

Seconding, but also would like to add:

>Alice: Lucas seems to care about the group's immediate safety, otherwise he could've just blasted the house with you all in it. In that case, could you ask him for any info on LoCaD's third boss monster and/or ask for his help in clearing this Land of monsters? Surely they're more immediate threats than the RAs, now that you all know the dangers of god tiering.

Not sure if this is fourthing, fifthing, sixthing or nthing, but I upvote this. Additionally:
Derrick: Before you start believing any of this, consider that the "elders" are probably the same things that corrupted Lethos, and Lucas is now counting himself among them. Also, make a mental note to ask the darker side of yourself about this later.

Alice: I understand that you're concerned that the realm attendants are snacking on our life energy or whatever, but none of us were going to god tier, right?
Lucas: .....
Alice: Knowing this new information we should be safe enough to navigate correctly, right?
Derrick: Alice has a point. Also in this place we are able to commune with parts of us that lie dormant, learning new ways to handle ourselves and grow as a result.
Lucia: Say what you will about the attendants, but this world literally saved me. What would have happened if Derrick could not reach me and I was just in a dream all alone? I would be dead if not for this.
Lucas: You can bring up valid points, all of you I'm sure.
Lucas: But it is the exception. Look at the all massive trauma every creature goes through simply by existing in these places?
Lucas: For every Loham there is thousands of Locads. Locad isn't even mild compared to the severity of cruelty some realms exist as.
Lucas: All to feed the everlasting life of the Cultivators, at our expense.
Lucia: Have you ever considered maybe you're the one being manipulated? We don't know the elders so why would they give a shit about us? These elders seem like they just want you against your friends.
Lucas: You're not listening, Lucia. WE are not against each other.
Lucas: WE are on the same side.
Lucas: The elders? Guess who they were long, long ago.
Lucas: They were kids just like us. They were tricked into becoming batteries for these parasites.
Lucas: Of course they want us to see the truth, to save us from the pain and heartache they suffered.
Alice: I understand what you are saying, Lucas.
Alice: I just... Don't see the urgency?
Alice: You're supposedly all-knowing now, right?
Lucas: False. I know much more but I'm not all-knowing.
Alice: Well what can you tell us about the 3rd boss in Locad?
Alice: We've met Audrey, and Ruu... Who's left?
Lucas: A woman by the name of Mallory Pars.
Alice: Oh? Where can we find her?
Lucas: She is held captive at the peak of Mt. Wiccan. The peak is home to wyverns, and the path up is paved with vicious foes. You'll have your work cut out for you.
Alice: Thanks for being so generous~
Lucas: ... You're welcome.
Derrick: Uhh... Tell Azriel to calm down.
Lucas: Azriel? It's me who is actively controlling him. I'm just getting ready to do what I came here for.
Lucas: You said that the realm attendants aren't an immediate threat. You're right.
Lucas: But they're all here in one spot. A chance.
Lucas: I'm sure after this encounter they will not make this mistake again.
Lucas: So this is merely me acting on an opportunity.
Alice: Well! I'd like to take my time before deciding whether I'm for or against these "They, them" people.
Lucas: Sure.
Lucas: What else do you want to know about then?

>Lucia: I think we should give Ra a fair chance to explain themselves. Please if given the proper reason maybe all of us can understand.

>Derrick: You say feeding, but the Realm Attendants all look like they hate their jobs. Kalem attitude is so toxic he became poisonous, Reggie can't communicate properly with the others because he's hiding something from them. And we don't even know the fuck going on with Dt.

>Alice:Ask Lucas how does he feel about you. Ask him if he still willing to be his knight in shiny armor to protect you. You are his princess, he is your knight.

Second

>derrick: ask what lucas is going to do to the realm attendants

>Alice: You know Lucas better than anyone else here, including us aliens. We’re handing the reigns to you on this situation to misdirect Lucas however you see fit. Be warned that he has recently… gotten over his obsession with you though.

>Lucia: Wait, didn't Reggie mention he was shielding the realm from the thing that got Lethos? Won't the realms just get destroyed by void monsters if Lucas gets rid of the RAs? With you in them?

>Alice: DT has told you about what happens to the monsters in the void. They get killed and ressurected over and over. What happens to monsters in Locad is nothing compared to that, at least they can die.
