Here's a fun fact: there are a lot of discredited pseudosciences that function just fine in Autumn Bay as long as you can back them up with magic. Mesmerism is one of these.

So Mercy got her answers, and wouldn't you know it, there are new questions. I swear we're not just messing with you here.

So now she's heading back to Whateley Manor to talk to Ghoul...

I don't always do away with my borders, but when I do something something corporate crass commercialism turned meme... :P

It still fits within the same basic dimensions, redjacket... :P

Eh, you're obviously not messing with us specifically because we're not the ones trying to drain inadequate scraps of information out of moronic thugs. Messing with Mercy mercilessly right up until her embarrassing death is called a plot... and fiction usually benefits greatly from having something like that.

You REALLY want us to kill off a main character, don't you? Especially, it seems, Ms. Black...

I spent too much time as a GM when I was younger. My desire to see a character die is exponentially proportional to how fleshed out their personality, background, social network, quirks, history and overall character is. Mercy pings my, "Kill them now and get them to make a new character!" instincts.

Bruh, Mercy can't die until that traumatic "nowz I btray U max lulz" scene with Ghoul in Season 4.

As long as enough other characters die between now and then... I'll cope. It'll be a struggle though.

How... mesmerizing!

Also, at first I thought that this Dreads guy seemed to have unusually hairy arms, and wondered if that might mean that he is a werewolf - but upon taking a closer look, I see now that it is just a fur vest...

Yes... very... mesmer... wait, what were we talking about? :)

Yeah, Dreads is the kind of hood that wears a fur coat. And now he has Mercy's attention...

Yay, Ghoul gets to contribute at last. :)

Uh, did Mercy let them live? If so, I'll forgive her--this time.

I do get the feeling that Mr. Dreads is going to regret his impetuousness in sending two incompetent goons to harass Mercy. Who knows, she may even introduce him to a whole NEW type of "dread". ^^

Dead goons when they don't have to be dead bring a lot more trouble than they're worth.

So yes, they still waste good air. :P

And yeah, Ghoul gets to play a part. :)

Two dead junkies? In HAVENSPORT? Yeaaah, think of the commotion THAT would raise. :P

MUCH better to have them stumbling around babbling about blue light and dark sunglasses...

Although, now that I think of it. THAT wouldn't be all that noteworthy there, either.

Never mind. ^^

Exactly... As it stands, they are AT BEST crackheads or tripping or something.

There is the slight possibility that corpses will bring an investigation, which at best leads to the Shadowlight League having to pull favors and such...

Do her black shades protect her to a reversal magic?
edit delete reply
Professor Etheric
Professor Etheric
It would really depend on the magic being reversed. A mental effect would probably be blocked (plus, she has a LOT of will power when it comes to such things).
