[This is Clover with her gear, walking and talking at the same time. She rolls her eyes.]

Geez, where'd all these people come from? What the heck, Johto? If you wanted this many p - ow!

[The view jerks downward as she trips over something. The Vulpix walking with her looks up in concern, but she manages to keep from falling onto the ground. However, she does pick up whatever she tripped over.

It's a numbered bracelet. Her eyes widen slowly as she turns it over and over in her other hand. When she speaks, her voice is quiet, almost a little nervous.]


...how'd this get here? Weird.

...so I've heard. And I was hoping I'd never see this again.

The bracelet I wore during the Nonary Game. Everyone gets a number. It's part of the game.

Oh, and you can't take it off unless you escape, or your heart rate reaches zero.

It must be more than that... what does it do? [He peers at it]

It's your key to all the numbered doors. Only groups of three, four or five people can enter such a door at a time, and the numbers on everyone's bracelets must have a digital root equal to that on the door.

[Clover opens her mouth to continue on and explain what a digital root is, but she hesitates, and decides to do it another way.]

Let's say you have the number two bracelet, and I have the number four. [She holds up the bracelet.] If we want to take Ken, and only Ken, with us, what number should he have for us to open the final door - door number nine?

[He takes a minute to seek. He's had math lessons since leaving his school in California, but none of them had gone over digital roots yet. He has a feeling he's read about them somewhere before, but...

He'll take a guess. He's going to try to find a number that would somehow get him to nine, and the easiest one would be... ]

... Three?

That's right. Okay, here's another one:

My brother is number two, I'm number four, you're number one, and Ken is number seven. What door can we open together?

[And Clover will wait patiently.]

Just remember the rule you used to answer the first problem.

... Actually, all I did was find a number that would get me to nine, since you mentioned it was the Nonary Game.

From: [identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com
Yeah, but before we get to the door with a nine, we have to go through other doors first.

Two, four, one, and seven.

Mmm-hmm. There are nine doors, and we can only open one with those numbers.

... I don't believe I know enough to figure it out, Clover. What are digital roots?

Date: 2011-12-20 06:54 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com
A digital root is the sum of a given set of numbers. At least, in the Nonary Game. For example, nine is the digital root of two, three and four.

... What about the numbers you just gave me, then?

Date: 2011-12-20 07:15 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com
You add them up to figure out which door to enter. Like I said, there are doors marked with numbers one through nine, and you'll have to go through some of them to get to the last door.

miniworth: (確かなもの感じる度)
From: [personal profile] miniworth
The sum of those numbers is greater than nine.

That shouldn't be a problem. [Knowing smile. Figure it out.]

[ ... :|

He crosses arms, and thinks. There has to be something about the definition she first gave him.
A way to take the sum of a set of numbers, and fit them into doors that are numbered one to nine?

You're a bright kid. I'm sure you can figure it out.

[She'll just wait for him to get it. It shouldn't take long. Right?]

The sum is fourteen... a one digit number?

You did the math right, but you're not done yet. [Duh, Clover.]

Five?
