Mystery Box

In the event another Daemon was encountered, what should be expected? Assistance? Problems? Competition?

Buddy, I already said. I'm One of a Kind. You, me, The Invisible Hand... even The Mystery Box. Each of us are, or were, the only thing like us in this Entire World.

Our lost Storyteller was made to create.
The Daemon beside her, to facilitate.
The Master came down here to live, and to play.
...and if they get rowdy?

You take them away.

And even if there was another Entity like you or me around, remember... our Purpose is to serve the good of the People here, in whatever ways we can. We don't always do a great job of it, sure... but the only one who ever fully turned against her Purpose is gone now.

So, uh... don't worry too much. Just focus on finding The Invisible Hand.

Anyway, got any ideas about what Boon you want?

i think a second pawn is the worst way to go, we can not trust flannery by herself. let's go for a skill to pay the bill

Yeah a new skill would be my preference. It has to relate to our learning experience of "Failed to magically copy a door to make a barricade, instead opening a hole where there wasn't one."

Why not door-pullmancy? The power to will doors, holes, and other egresses from Elsewhere.

I'm thinking invent-o-mancy. The ability to invent new things from old things.

Experience: Lost your cool, and failed to swindle money out of Cam the Dumpster Merchant.
Lesson: Cons work better when the mark is leading the conversation in the direction we want it to go.

'Flannery Bootz' determination towards peaceful outcomes has only solidified, but alongside this comes the wisdom that one does not have to take hostilities freely.

Dang this is a pretty hard choice. I think I want to go with the 4th option, keeping open a line for communication.

Not a fan of keeping the line of communique always open. We will probably be a pester and/or misinterpret something you say and then lead ourselves into some catastrophic results. Agreed on not having a new pawn, either-- maybe far in the future when we need it, but right now Flannery is a handful alone.

Okay, it uh...

It sounds like you're conflicted still. Maybe a little confused about how this stuff works, even? Don't stress about it... the Rules of these things have always been hard for me to explain. But, it looks safe to say you're against making a Second Pawn, or a Fused Item at least. I'm not sure I can do exactly what you're hoping for... but I'll keep these ideas in mind, for whatever Boon your Pawn ends up asking for.

Once she's done sleeping off that Green Slime Poisoning, anyway.

Until then, Miss Bootz... I probably oughta shut this Idol down. No sense idling it here, and running out the energy, eh?

I'll see the Other You, on the other side.
