Check-In [Week 1]

[helborn]

All right, you know the deal. If you're yourself, psychically raise your hand.

Or, uh, if that doesn't make sense to you, just... let people know you're you. I'm myself, obviously, but I have no idea what the hell my archetype or role is. I was infiltrating last time as Ace -

- shit, I need to avoid him. Anyway! Yeah. Uh. ... Yeah...

[His psychic voice just trails off as the awkward overtakes him.]

It's a spirit companion of an Adversary or...

[Hang on where is it - there it is.]

Or a 'Dark Oracle', apparently. They copy their partner's appearance and tend to make trouble.

She's -

[There's a pause.]

... There she goes. She realized she has thumbs and also a human voice. No idea where she's running off to.

[okanetendo]

Good luck hunting her down before she opens any doors and runs off. I hear thumbs are useful for that.

If that's the worst thing she does with a spare copy of your body, give thanks to Fortuna. Or whoever, really!

[crouching_sin]

She could already open them with her mouth, she's normally the size of a horse.

She'll probably be fine. She can't use my abilities... I'm pretty sure... but I think she's mostly just excited to be able to talk to people with words rather than colors. The latter's what she normally does, but for people other than me - and sometimes Q'uila - it gets easily misinterpreted.

[okanetendo]

Right. See, I hear "Doppelganger," I think "Malicious."

...but the fact that she's actually a goddamn dragon from a Jaunt who's bonded with you might be making that difference. Are QC Doppelgangers usually up to no good?

[crouching_sin]

They can be, they do tend to cause trouble for Adversaries and Dark Oracles. In their opinion it's more towards steering them towards the right path - but not everyone's suited for sparkly light dramatics, nor should they be.

Alice can be mischievous, but so can I. More than her, usually. I trust her to not take it too far - or to call me or Q'uila for help if she does.
