Mid-late Week One

[ninjayeehaw]

[Some time after Interfacing everything, Kinji's managed to get back on a more even keel.]

Alright, so me an' Matthew found out some interestin' stuff just earlier, 'bout how this place all works.

First 'f all, fer those who don't know, down over the edge a' this picnic area's a huge forest. All that fog down there's bein' made by this pools a' water - an' accordin' t'what Raidou told me, that's where all 'f everyone's spirit animals are born.

Ain't nothin' down there but the water an' trees, so it's all safe an' proper fer explorin', but I don't recommend goin' down there alone. Not 'less y'all can get back up alone too.

Now, my point is. When I was down there, I tried Interfacin' one a' the trees there, checkin' out if it was anythin' interestin'. An' what I done got was... well, a whole heap a' voices. Or thoughts, I s'pose might be more accurate. All 'f 'em wishin' an' hopin' - must a' been thousands a' people, just from that one tree, and all a' those thoughts were movin' from the branches down t'the roots and into the water.

So, course I tried testin' the water next.

[And his voice takes on an almost uncharacteristic seriousness and intensity for his next few words:]

Do not go Interfacin' the water.

'Cos when I did, it damn near would a' blown my brains out if'n I hadn't stopped it in less than a second. It's-- it's too much - the water's the goddamn life force a' this entire world. When I was connected t'that, I think I was connected t'just about everythin' else what exists here.

...if anyone's that curious, I can show y'all the memory 'f it. But it's gonna be real damn short, an' it's gonna hurt.

S'pose the biggest thing we got outta that's basically what Thorne was sayin' back at her Salon earlier - how everythin's made up a' thoughts an' willpower, projectin' on the world? Turns out it applies t'Questin' Country as well as Liminal Space.

Oughta be all good fer now, but I right appreciate the concern.

[pferdeweibchen]

I've really the Oracle part a bit too literally since I'm not even considering heading to front lines... so I'll worry from here.

[ninjayeehaw]

Still one better than me, I ain't even bothered any a' those Senpais yet t'see if they got a clue what my role here's s'posed t'be.

[pferdeweibchen]

You don't know what your role is? If you have a Spirit Companion, they should be able to at least hint you to the right direction... sometimes they can even say your title, but nothing about your abilities.

[ninjayeehaw]

I got Rodeo, an' he ain't much 'f a talker. He's learnin' t'parrot stuff he's hearin' though, so maybe he just don't got the words fer it just yet.

[pferdeweibchen]

Ah, yeah... Spirit Companions who are originally something else might take a while longer to get the message across.

Does anyone else hear him talk? If not, you are likely an Oracle. If yes, then a Champion or an Adversary. Though I definitely can't imagine you as an Adversary...

[ninjayeehaw]

Seems like he's talkin' t'other people, Shiro an' I were chattin' an' we could both understand him just fine.

Adversaries are the self-servin' kinda ones, right? I'm gonna go ahead an' assume that ain't what I've been given here. [He's still not entirely convinced he has a title at all.]

[pferdeweibchen]

Yeah. Though if you hear them being called Fallen Champion, they are not. They're not inferior to Champions. At least I don't think so.

Still, you're what a Champion is like. Hopefully you'll find an answer.
