I just shake my head in disdain. "I hope you realize that I'm trying to help you here, correct? I don't mind you being leader, but I'm not going to be your thrall. Nor is anyone else here. And I highly doubt that any amount of cosmetics will change that."

"Not many people are, but I suppose we've kinda been forced to be "in" to that kind of thing, if that is how it's phrased now. Heroica? I'd rather not be forced to kill more people, thank you very much... The Bookmark gave me Claire's confidence - and maybe a little bit of her promiscuity, to be perfectly honest - but not her bloodlust. I don't plan on taking more lives anytime soon." -

"Looks like someone is in danger. Up we go?" I start to head up the stairs, unless anyone in my party objects.

"Pretty much, yeah. I have no idea of whether or not my days are numbered. May be an immortal, for all I know. My past is gone, so my general life goal is to make as many memories as I can. Not sure if i can obtain all the experiences Olegais has to offer... Most people don't want to settle down with a woman who has steel-black hair and bleeds ink, you know?" -

"STATEMENT: But we have a giant to defeat first..." "Onwards!" The party continues onward, going through the door... And find an identical elevator. "Nowhere to go but down..." The party takes a few hadty steps onto the decaying lift, another trio of Dauntlets grabbing onto the elvator. The shaft disconnects as the Dauntlets begin to carry the heroes downard into the abyss... It was a far more pleasant trip than their last elevator ride. They eventually end up in a far less developed portion of Nevermore. "Destination reached. Current location: Needle Passage." It was a disturbingly fitting name. Razor sharp spikes line the entirety of the formidable passage. They were shaprned to the point, each one more pointy than the last... One misstep and one could impale themselves on the wall of this hellish place. The ceiling and walls tremor, presumably due to some nearby source. The party is careful to evade any incoming spikes, having no desire to get impaled through the heart by one of the spikes. However, one spike manages to graze Arthur's hand, drawing a bit of blood. Or, more accurately: ink. Lynne takes notice. "Hey. We're not so different, are we? Inky creatures who have seen some crazy things." As Arthur and Lynne converse, the Minoid speaks. "I suspect the final confrontation is nigh." QM Note: You don't need to prepare quite yet - even when you step into the bossroom, you'll have plenty of time to ready yourselves. I'll move this along in a bit. -
"...The fact you could tell that the origin had such a personality just from a whisper is... disturbing..."

Her face markings were purple. Sometimes I love/hate how abusable the English language is.

Triad. Triad is quite dead. And then her grave got desecrated by The Regret. So "okay guy" is marriage material for Karie?

You haven't killed any purple hooded people yet, though, unlike Atramor.

"Your lips made physical contact with no one else's. SYNOPSIS: You had yourself indoctrinated into a character named "Claire" in exchange for information. While your new personality was beginning to dominate your old, we had progressed through the basement. We have managed to save on of the Devils and escape the basement. We are currently in The Regret's library, and are likely nearing the final confrontation." "Speaking of Devils and indoctrination... Lynne?" "Yes?" "Are you ready for your partial immersion?" "I... believe I am." "Very well then." The Bookmark pulls out the same book her presented to Erdathcath. This time, instead of branding the entire book, he flips through, page by page, marking only a select few. Certain pages glow with a purplish aura, Lynne finding her eyes transfixed on the enchanted book. "Read only the makred pages and sentences, understood?" Lynne gives a numb nod as she begins to read the spellbound book. Her mind aborbs all of the information, lynne carefully flipping through each and evety specified page in a trance state. Before long, she shuts the book, a new passion returning to her eyes. She removes her tiara and kicks it away, returning the book to the Bookmark. "Thanks. That was a much needed boost in confidence. And, about the tiara... no need to hagning onto ratty old things like that, is there?" Lynne begins to walk towards the door. Before, each step was uncertain and frightened - now, she now walked with a confident sway to her hips. "We ready to move on?" -

The Minoid goes over the the druid's side, walking faster than normal. "QUERY: Erdathcath, are you well...? Erdathcath?" -

"STATEMENT: It is good to see you are no longer Cliff, Grimwald. You have returned to your former self." Lynne intervenes. "Please, Erdathcath, you have to take the antidote... I lived a lie for two thousand years. Two milleniums. Please, don't force yourself into my situation... You can't go on like this!" "Before long, the immersion will overtake you entirely. You'll think this world is the world of the story. You'll hunt down people who don't exist, you'll believe in events that never happened - your mind will be trapped in a land of fiction. Please, take the antidote - or, as Lynne said, you may condemn yourelf into living a lie for the rest of your life." -

"This... Is progressing far faster than I originally thought. Claire, Erdathcath is you. Think back, about two hours ago. You weren't a northern viking woman. You were Erdathcath, a druid - half wood, half elf, and as far as I could tell, not promiscuous in the slightest. I wove this spell, this immersion, and I put this personality onto you. Now, please, listen when I try to undo it. Take a tendril, and restore your old self." -

"If you can acknowledge that you were given a new personality, please, Erdathcath, eat one of the tendrils..." -

Arthur flips over the other two pages. -
Well, dammit.

Reading my offhand comments in the QM Lounge, I see, Flipz.

"Well, I can't force the tendril on her. And I can't immerse Lynne, either, because having Claire and a Claire-ish person in the same room may end badly..." -
My new title is probably well deserved.

"Will do... Also, Claire, by normal, I mean- combat enhancers! Yes, these tendrils will clear out the smog from this place in your system, improving your skill in combat. You're perfectly normal, Claire." Arthur begins to read the journal entry. The rest of the journal is ripped off.
