Aw, don't be like that! I mean, who did I even really betray?

We should be friends, now that you're going to get your own taste of gettin' down and dirty as well~

[thetatters]

Awkwardly enough that does sound like something John would've done as his former self, he once threatens to make [human protag] his cyclically flayable skinless pet for all eternity. Cringe behavior tbh. If he ever gets to hear Apophis's backstory it might inspire him to feel freshly weird and guilty about his past, which is delicious to me.

OH AND John can sense an aura of light or darkness around people that are possessed by particularly powerful eldritch forces. Would he get a darkness vibe from Apophis? That would be a fun early clue, tho John is from too early a canonpoint to have many points of comparison, so he'll just be nebulously suspicious and wary.

[forsakensun]

Adghjs what a thing to threaten! I bet that helped their relationship grow real well.

Yep, that's totally good with me! It's actually a canon plot point that Apophis is radiating dark miasma pretty badly, be it for dimension hopping from place to place, attacking, or outright forcing other living creatures to turn into horrible monsters that are at his beck and call. So he's pretty used to showing up as a pretty bad case of 'evil spirit' on most people's radars as long as they have some kind of 6th sense. If John asks him about it he'll just roll with it and blame it on Imhotep and his botched rescue attempt, since that left his and Djoser's shared existence kinda undead~♫

Can Apophis sense anything about John in return?

Felicia! Fire Emblem! KNIVES. (She was strictly a knife main on my playthrough.) I love that when presented with the option of a robot horse, mini-cooper fishbowl is still the most viable choice.

Meanwhile Akihiko over here doing his best to live a regimented and ordered lifestyle, but a lot of his clothing and dwelling space has been picking up electric burns and char marks.

[maidhem]

She's my knife flipping mage assassin in every run.

But yes, horses are big and skittish and will wreck things. The metal carriage won't get startled and is pretty Felicia Proof-- So it's an obvious choice.

Besides. Horse would drown in the fishbowl.

Too bad she isn't great at domestic tasks, though. She can't fix the clothes but she can heal minor injuries... Sometimes without a staff because being from the Ice Tribe is cool like that.

[maidhem]

Sibling baggage?

Twin sibling baggage???

I'm planning on Felicia being from the Hoshido route this time, where she has to watch her Worldly Twin meet a very bad end. She is herself the Airhead Twin. So.

[maidhem]

We've already discussed the possibility of needing a body guard and their shared past of being pawns in someone else's game. CR could be fascinating.

[thetatters]

You can lie to John about lore pretty easily bc he remembers very little from his eldritch deity days. He'll distrust this guy on vibes alone.

Definitely! Other powerful characters can sense that John is an eldritch entity possessing a human body (but he's a podcast character, so we don't know exactly what they see). Feel free to use any of this:

John is anchored primarily in this body's eyes. He's specifically a piece of "the King in Yellow," who is twice the size of a human and cloaked in trailing, tendril-like tatters of beautiful amber light. John normally has the ability to project that form beyond this human body, though he hasn't regained that power yet in the jamjar. His only permanent, visible monster transformation in-game is a yellow radiance in his eyes when he's startled or emotional.

[refusefate]

Man, I have no idea either way how Zero cr would shake out with either one. But it is gonna be a blast finding out.

[undyingcrow]

Yesss, good.

This lad is a former criminal and a former detective. Quite the contradiction. x)

[discolouredwings]

Question is, how long will it take for Natsuhi to give any personal info? Coupled with her denial about being used.... But maybe there be a handy dandy event.
I feel like so much of Natsuhi's cr is going to be a mess because of how cagey she is lmao.

She'll be deeply upset that young, clumsy maid is defending her and not the other way around.

[maidhem]

It'll be interesting one way or another.

Unfortunately, Felicia is the sort who needs to feel useful, which means she's going to end up trying to take care of SOMEONE. Without her Liege, her sister, and the people she served with in the Fortress... It's going to be a challenge no matter how things go for her.

[discolouredwings]

Felicia sees the chronically ill, grouchy lady and is just 'this is mine now'

[maidhem]

You did say Natsuhi wasn't going to be adopting anyone...

[discolouredwings]

uno reverse carded her

[onesurvived]

/shyly peeks in

I'm not even in game, I was just browsing the new games being advertised on enablemeplz and ended up here. Just wanted to send some drive-by love to someone else playing from this beautiful mess of a canon 💖 I'm delighted to see more of us around.

[maidhem]

Exactly!

[discolouredwings]

EVAAAAAAAAA

I've been playing Nappi on and off for... since Ryslig first opened? Don't look though. For I was dumbass teen back then.

Yeah, I know an Ange and seen a few Beatos and Sayo's about, but otherwise it's been pretty dead.

[hellsgatekeeper]

Well you tricked me the gods count, don't they?

And these monsters aren't as ugly as the magai, so is it really the same thing?

[forsakensun]

Objection! You can't really betray somebody that's betrayed you first, can you?? If you know Thoth's memories, then you know that it wasn't me who started it!

Dunno. Killing is killing, isn't it? and the stronger magai look pretty nifty, excuse you!

[ensnooziest]

Oh gosh yeah, a megaman + sonic character crossover or whatever chaos a sleepy princess would bring!

[refusefate]

Plus the chaos of this place and transforming. It will be interesting. Zero’s canon point will be x6 right after finding out who made him.

[hellsgatekeeper]

But you were the one that started attacking them over it! I won't deny that they held a great deal of responsibility, but did you really think that would help matters?

Have you always been so careless about lives, or is that a godly attribute?

[forsakensun]

Then what, should I have just let them talk shit about me and have their followers hunt mine and destroy my temples and done nothing? Turned the other cheek till they finally got tired of hitting it? That wasn't ever gonna happen and you know it! So nah, they don't get to complain about being bitten after throwing that rock. And sure, it didn't particularly help -- but it felt hella satisfying wiping the smug look off their faces with my fist!

And it's 100% human influence, buddy.

[forsakensun]

Haha, it's gonna be fun since Apophis will have zero qualms tossing those vibes around just to mess with John, yet scramble to put them away and stick 'em in a pocket the moment Imhotep looks because he's going to pretend to be his BFF Djoser once again. (Also have a sneak peek at what Djoser's body looked like back when Apophis fresh got it, but CW GORE.)

And that sounds interesting! Apophis won't be able to pick up on the Eldritch thing (unless you want him to) since he'll be strongly nerfed, but he might make out that there's something dark going on and maybe that the soul doesn't match the body once he regains some of his powers. (Again only if you're cool with that, ofc.)
