I do wonder if there'll be a clash about Elef though, between Mercy and Vengeance.

You've very good at giving me ideas, you know? Hadn't planned for it, but now I'll think of something along those lines.

Also, per that, I'm going to need Cherish to get hurt in your next post. Nothing major, just like a cut or something, so long as there's a small amount of blood, I think a few drops would be plenty to get the ball rolling. Maybe while digging in the sand she accidentally finds a dagger and gets poked by it on accident, not even deep enough to scar.

Void's view on Mercy is definitely positive currently. She sees a selfless creature, who have been granted gifts to continue to go that route, and help others. Yes she will have to rely on other means to help herself to an extend, but it still seems very doable, and she's giving a good impression to Void. 

Yeah I ended up going with the idea that the gifts of Mercy are earned through sacrifice, and sacrifice not done with the idea that the gift would be earned as a result. The gifts that Llambda got as an example, you give away your money, expecting nothing in return, and would be willing to continue giving your own money away, so you're worthy of Mercy's coinpouch so you can keep giving away money without bankrupting yourself. But you can't then use the pouch to profit yourself.

Stuff like that, in essence Mercy rewards sacrifice, first being the sacrifice of ego. The servents of Mercy act solely for the benefit of others, and their gifts are only able to benefit others and are given to those who would have sacrificed those items anyway, but now are able to continue for much longer.

How to integrate them into things though... I'm not sure. She's gotten gifts of selflessness, so she could probably help those in town who are down on her luck, like the performers I've used were.

I'm not planning to have her as a constant character, or I wasn't, but considering your idea above it looks like she'll be present for this arc.

@Blitz Boom

Uh oh, you left me thinking too long! Now I have new lore and ideas! 

No spoilers, but a character from the AEther Project is coming to play, one you didn't get to interact with much, along with some more deep lore tie ins!

 

That said, everything alright? You've been quiet for a while now.

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

No, nothing wrong. I've just been distracted, working, or playing too much and running out of time for a while. Trying to get my flank off the floor and be productive, but the results so far is middling.

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

I literally just finished, and then saw I forgot Ranger, grrr... I'll edit it in after I've slept. Sorry.

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

For the record, I did not switch the races by accident. Considering the way Arcade thinks of his horn, Null's subconsciousness changed the sub-race of pony, to fit a dream that seemed more realistic, in a way. One where he didn't need to worry about that.

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

Been mulling over the Grey part for days now, and eventually I just figured I'd go with what came to me as I wrote it. So if it seems like a semi-confused tangent... Well, it is.

[Illiad Easle 3,255]

@Blitz Boom

If anything that makes it more authentic because your character is working with incomplete information. The confusion is justified!

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

Sorry for the big delay this time. Got vacation time, but been spending said time helping family in other towns.

I'll be back and ready to write on Monday.

[Illiad Easle 3,255]

@Blitz Boom

Totally fine! I was starting to wonder, but I just got back from my own vacation. I'm excited to see what is coming up!

@Illiad Easle

Not on vacation, but a heat wave is scorching Denmark right now, and it's frying my brain. Sorry again for more delays. I'm tired of it being so myself too.  Stupid weather...

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

Hi. Sorry for massive delays again, but my keyboard broke. Thought I had written it here, but apparently, I forgot that. Bloody typical... I can get a new one tomorrow I hope, but yeah, can't write proper until I have it. Trying to write on the phone irritates me, as it's harder to have a good overview and stuff.

I promise, the next response after this, will be less than a week. I'll sit up all night if I have to!

(Edit)

I found my spare keyboard! I thought I had tossed it.

@Blitz Boom

Alas! I was starting to worry, but I'm glad that you found your spare!

 

[Illiad Easle 3,255]

@Blitz Boom

Per Kozue, you may be able to guess but I should clarify, the photograph is influencing his mind and actions. It may not make much difference during this present arc, but so long as he has the photo he will be obsessed with the singular goal of finding the entity that he thinks the image depicts.

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

I assumed as much, and have been pondering what to do about it. Which will be handled mostly in the next post. Gonna take advantage of the fact that I have a little chaos goblin in paper form to my advantage. :3

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

Have to catch a bus, but I will work on the rest of the post whilst on said bus.

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

I just wrote some things at the parts with the Grey, and with Ranger, that I figured made sense. I dunno how the picture, or Red will really react to things, but this is my best guess on how things can go, but it is open to interruption, of course.

And yes, Speck is more worried about the picture being used to make a new one like it, than it is about Kozue. I have decided it doesn't wanna share attention that easily.

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

Hah! Early reply in ya faaaace.

[Illiad Easle 3,255]

@Blitz Boom

Heyo! I hope things are alright on your end? Hopefully not an issue where you thought you posted a response but it failed to save, that would be real unfortunate!

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

No, I got the flu, lucky me. xD But the post should be done within the next 15 minutes

[Blitz Boom 4,748]

@Illiad Easle

Took a bit, but I managed to finally wrangle a post from my mind.

I dunno what will happen with the rift, but I am giving you permission to do what you think is right, with Mongoose here. Not sure if he'll live, die, get banished, or something else, but that's for you to decide.

Also as I had little to really respond to, I added a bit more background on him, and his uh... Well, the sort of things going through his head, which added to why he were not so gently *volunteered* to The Grey.

[Illiad Easle 3,255]

@Blitz Boom

The rift is going to be something a bit more... experimental. We'll see how well it goes, hopefully you'll enjoy it. I don't plan on killing him there, but there are still dangers.

[Illiad Easle 3,255]

@Blitz Boom

There, a bit more adventurous than usual, incorporating a bit more music. Hopefully it lines up right and gives the right vibe. I tend to take a lot of inspiration from music, but this is a bit more direct than usual.
