2 ♔ pranks exist, prove me wrong

[ Hey, see that on the ground? It's two tickets to that thing you love-- no, wait. It is that thing you love. Or that precious thing you thought went missing a month ago. Or something really valuable that you like or want, like money, or if you're a sensible islander, like soap. Let's just say it's something your character may really want.

WHATEVER IT IS, it moves slightly out of reach when you go to grab it.

And again.

And again.

What do you do? ]

Oh, he can brood. But he'd rather hide under a table and scream 'it's useless! it's all useless!'

Yes, she's the Witch of Absolute. And Ronove, my personal butler. The Seven Sisters of Purgatory. Those are the most important to mention.

[ ooc; Yeah, seriously-- I mean, the fake!Kanon is proof enough there's shenanigans going on with his name as it is. ]

...a dramatic person, isn't he?

Witch of Absolute? So there are different titles?

((OOC: That could even be proof of someone taking his identity regularly. And would disprove the Red if it was taking the name 'Kanon.'))

An understatement of the century.

Correct. I'm the Golden Witch, and Witch of Endless. Bernkastel is the Witch of Miracles. We all have a specialty.

[ ooc; Seriously. ): Kanon's just a big pile of suspicious and red herring all in one, what with his body disappearing so much. ]

So you really do like the hot blooded type?

Odd things to have a 'magical specialty.'

((OOC: Poor Kanon. It's all that furniture talk. It makes you easy to manipulate.))

Haha! They're fun to play games with, at the very least!

You specialize in detective work, don't you? Witches can have their own areas of expertise that set them apart.

[ ooc; ;A; yes. Stupid BUT I AM FURNITURE mindset. Look in a mirror Kanon you are not a chair-- ]

Ah, I guess that's true. He does seem to make the cases a bit more fun when he's not trying to compete.

Well, there's some specialization, but a good detective has a bit of everything so they don't miss things other detectives would pick up right away in that field.

((OOC: Though it does bring up the question if he goes in the person count...))

Indeed, that's the nature of the piece Battler. The Battler I'm playing with is wisening up a little, sadly.

Well, who's to say I don't have a little bit of everything too?

[ ooc; They do, as far as I know--! ]

Piece Battler and the one you're playing are different people?

Do you?

((OOC: Well, she'll sometimes say they aren't people and sometimes say they will. It's all so confusing...))

They separated because one has to fight me on a different plane and one has to fulfill their role in the game. You'll see.

I might.

[ ooc; Well, it's a witch perspective, so if you look at it from the Anti-Fantasy perspective, they are definitely people :|b ]

Hmm...I probably will. It sounds like a big of a confusing concept.

Only going to give a vague answer? [Quirks an eyebrow.]

((OOC: Definitely people for Battler. Might not be for Beatrice's 18 people count though if Red can be subjective.))

I'd like to see you explain it in human logic. [ cackle! ]

I did say I'm not going to reveal all my tricks right away, kihihi.

[ ooc; But then there's the whole... Shannon becoming human by acknowledging she has a heart andalskdjFLS THINGS ARE CONFUSING. But I'm hoping the person-count remains the same including furniture. ]

I'll have to see it so I know what's going on before I could do something like that.

Even saying the type is dangerous then?

((OOC: Well, we never did a confirmation in Red of number of people after she did that.))

In good time.

It's just magic. You can't do something so mundane as assign it a type!

[ ooc; In any case it would be a horribly, horribly dirty trick. ]

I guess I'll have to be patient again.

And yet you do anyway.

((OOC: Even dirtier than crazy parasites?))

You'll have to be veeeeery patient if it's only two pieces at a time. Unless you wish to raise the stakes in the future.

-- Hoh! Endless magic is different. Assigning names and types to all the lesser magics is trivial and boring.

[ ooc; ... maybe on the same level of dirty, that was a bad trick too. ]

I suppose that would depend on what I'd have to lose.

[Chuckles.] Ah, is that how it's different?

((OOC: Very unfair. How could we figure that out?))

I'd have to give it a lot of consideration.

Naturally, there are all kinds. But listing them off is tiresome and it's less their title and more describing what they do.

[ ooc; Not sure! Just... wait and see if it's addressed? Otherwise just assume they're still included in the number... /sob ]

Not like I could lose money or anything.

I see. Then...can you say what exactly it is that makes Endless magic unique?

((OOC: I suppose so. A lot needs to be addressed.))

I can make gold bars from nothing. Money doesn't even matter.

It's the power of infinity. To endlessly repeat, to kill and revive, like an endless cycle. To restore things to creation from destruction. It's quite formidable.

[ ooc; Ryukishi's got a loooot of explaining to do if he wants to wrap everything up in the last two games. ]

Really? [So she wants something else from the family.]

So while everything else has a limit, endless does not?

((OOC: That he does. Hopefully it makes sense.))

Really. That can be a trick you can explain someday, kihihi.

It's all in the description of the magic. For example, Lambdadelta's power lies in the finite-- an absolute sure kill with no grounds for failure. Bernkastel's are miracles-- she can make anything happen as long as the probability of it happening isn't zero.

[ ooc; Hopefully! Since... it's not making much sense right now. ]

Then I'll keep that one in mind while I'm figuring out the other ones.

[Nods.] I suppose then it all makes sense.

((OOC: I wonder if meta world is in the equation's answer?))

Sure. Though I'll have to think up a way to make it extra interesting now.

It's not so hard to understand. You just make it hard on yourself to accept.

[ ooc; ...That'd be an interesting twist! The characters in the meta-world do have some control over their pieces on the game board, so there's definitely a link, but I don't know if it has any ties to the actual murders. ]

More interesting then how you got all that gold in the first place?

Just because I understand the titles doesn't mean I believe in the magic. Just wanted to be sure what they met.

((OOC: There has to be some rason for it, considering how involved it got with Erika.))

Even more interesting. Why bore you with those details?

Of course! I never assumed you'd believe me with a simple explanation like that.

[ ooc; Oh yeah, definitely, since Erika is just an extension/creation of Bern. And doesn't exist anymore as of EP6. ]

George just couldn't resist visiting Hinamizawa for a festival--

It would explain so very, very much.

... also the reason he has a TOMITAKE FLASH shirt.

...which makes me think he's secretly Tomitake and Takano's child!

... OH GOD HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE TOMITAKE.

HE DOES! ...though i'm not sure about timeline wise if that'd work.

Perhaps a time machine is involved.

Well, if there's a time traveling god....

... I wouldn't put it past Ryukishi.

...neither would I.
