Crescent

As The Crescent:
Every Monday, the Crescent will meet with the Signs and be given the opportunity to grant one other player immunity for the week. This immunity will allow the player to live for that week even if they are chosen as a victim by the Corrupted.

Should the Crescent choose to protect someone and that person is selected as a victim, however, the Crescent's name will be provided as the victim and they will die in that week to protect the chosen player.

The Crescent will also be allowed to submit a name for a victim in order to protect someone else. If they are concerned that someone they wish to protect will be chosen by the Corrupted, they may enact a trade to sacrifice another player. While there is no guarantee that the name they've offered will be chosen, this action will earn favor among the Signs.

The choice must be made at the time of the meeting. The Crescent only gets one meeting per week and they must choose wisely if they wish to protect someone and risk their own life, or offer someone as a failsafe sacrifice. (i.e. "I would like to protect X" versus "should X be chosen by the Corrupted, I would like to substitute Y.")

When the Signs seek to summon the Crescent, a portal will appear when they finds themselves alone. Upon entering the portal, they will be brought into a tea room where the Signs are waiting for them. When their visit in the room concludes and they choose to exit, the portal will disappear. The Crescent will find that no matter how long they spent in the tea Room, no time has elapsed outside of the portal.

Additional notes:
The Crescent will be allowed to ask questions about the ongoings of the game and communicate with the Signs in their weekly meetings. They will be able to also receive small hints in the game should they perform well, including game mechanics, locations and more. However, the information received will be up to the Signs' discretion.

Best of luck.

Yes, we were—and together, all of us proved our point quite effectively. [With well-placed punches!!!

For Sol's side, at least, she settles, nodding along as he speaks. She is more than happy, after all, to simply be facilitating conversation.]

It sounds like you were made to grow up before your time, Sol. You've always struck me as particularly mature, and this simply confirms it.

You have grown beyond the challenges that have been issued to you. In a way, you are the perfect guide for us, here in this place.

Good. [But then...well, then she says that and like. That's nice of her to say even if it's not what he was expecting because nobody's really ever called him mature.]

You really think so? [He sounds a bit incredulous.] I'm still trying to figure everything out. Aren't guides supposed to know a lot more?

Hah hah hah. Well, I am the Lord of the Spirits, and I contain only the knowledge that twenty years' worth of experience and relaying has granted me. I know for a fact that there are still gaps in my own understanding of things that came before me. Are we not on the same page?

Besides, I believe firmly that youth and inexperience brings a point of view that many with far more experience in matters may never have thought of. The lack of understanding of the rules leads to creative ways to break them, as it were.

When you put it like that, yeah I guess so. [He sounds a little relieved, actually.] You still have more years on me, but we're figuring it out. That's important, isn't it?

I think I want to agree with that but I don't want to make things harder for you guys either due to inexperience. This is a situation nobody should be in, and most of my usual methods to break the rules aren't working. But if people let me try, I can figure it out.

That is the important part.

Are you interested in breaking the rules further? In such an exploit, I would like to join you.

[There's a low laugh.] I do, but I also don't think I can. Lune and I have to follow certain rules while acting as the universe's guides. We can't give away major details, we can't interfere too much, we can't outright name people...it's really annoying to be censored as much as we are.

But that doesn't mean I'm not interested in finding loopholes.

I wonder what loopholes can be found with regards to the Crescent's position.

It seems to waste to die only once. I would prefer to protect more than that.

Nothing is stopping you from finding other ways to obtain items of protection or stuff like that. That's your loophole right there, Milla. You're able to find other methods than what's handed to you by us.

Find them, hmm?

[...]

In a... box, I wonder? Should I begin breaking things?

[LITERAL]

No! No, no, that won't be necessary in most cases. I just meant exploring the gateways and seeing what's out there, and what may help you.

Ah, I see!

Breaking things in the gateway, perhaps. I will build new pathways, literally.

[milla,]

...sure, Milla. [He sounds like he's trying not to laugh.] You never know what you'll find.

Very well!

[She's going to smash

Hogwarts.]

I shall report back to you.

[There's a laugh.]

Good luck, Milla. Just be careful.

Am I not always?

[no]

Well...I trust you more than I trust some others.

[Like Minato.]

I should certainly hope so!

Have you seen the state of him? I am constantly concerned he will end up killing himself before corruption even has half the chance to do so!

I'm not even sure he notices which is the scariest part. But it's a good thing there's people like you around to make sure that doesn't happen.

Hmm. I will do my best to prevent it.

Speaking of which—Sol, could you not heal his wounds?

We can do stuff like that in exchange for tasks. But weirdly he never asked.

He didn't?

I wonder if he is simply being stubborn...

Either that or he really didn't know he could. With him, I feel like it could be either or.

That is certainly true.

[...]

What if I brought him before you? Perhaps we could see to his healing, then.

It's possible. A task would have to be completed just like normal, but that would be up to you or him.

Indeed. At the very least, I would like to charm him into speaking with the two of you!
