Boost Core: Slit Eyes of Flamma [Grants: Spirit Sight, Ignore FX, Nullify]

[ohaiyo_isekai]

[Not a full day into the week]

Do you recall that game I found, the one about vampiric crime syndicates?

Do you remember anything about a little Discipline called “Dominate,” that allowed vampires a mesmerizing gaze?

Did you hear the tales of dazed innocents walking away from their lives and into the sewers or woods?

Then you might think it sensible to not go into the sewers or woods without a way to pierce illusions or counter magic.

I am working on brewing suitable potions and dusts and such to provide defenses agains hypnotic or psychic bullshit.

Ask for Lucas at the theatre or the Laurelthirst.

Now excuse me while I protect Nero from this. I expect he will want to investigate and I want to have my spirit sight, countermagic, and ability to set a vampire on fire with a word and a gesture at his call when he does.

And it does sound a little like the lady who comes to stare at the Umbra Manor from time to time and then leaves, except she's a full sized human without wings.

I had come to the same conclusion. Sigrid is also a… significant name in Siobhan’s history, but I won’t say more than that.

They are not the same person. But I think after the story Siobhan will remember a most rare vision, a dream of being Sigrid. As I had a dream of myself as a young man in the story prior.

Right. Like how the other girl who was there with you when she was not-drunk is now a werewolf and doesn't seem to recognize anyone.

... do you think that's going to happen to me too?

[He doesn't really think he'd ever been important enough to merit being a character in a story, but then he thinks about how a prince had died to defend his innocence and he doesn't know anymore.]

I think it inevitable that in some Story or another there will be a character, strong of arm, uncommonly loyal, uneducated but shrewd, who has cause to defend someone worthy of it with his life.

Maybe this one will be echo of your Egg, even. Or some learned fellow with a name evocative of a flash in a blue sky, or a huntress from a verdant forest.

I should like that. I do miss him, ser. He is cheeky and does not know when to shut up, but he is a good boy and a good squire. We've been through much together since he snuck into my camp at Ashford Meadows a bit over two years ago.
