COMETS;

[cyclists]

Comets

Comets will be called on by Sol and Lune only when they need someone eliminated. Murders must not be made outside of their knowledge and the Comets will not be able to refuse an assignment. Sometimes Comets may be asked to work together, but often times they will have to act alone. However, both Comets must be in attendance when the Signs have an assignment.

When the Signs seek to summon Comets, a portal will appear when a Comet 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. Comets will find that no matter how long they spent in the tea Room, no time has elapsed outside of the portal.

Outside of Sign-requested kills, Comets may participate in the game as normal including fulfilling their objectives and using their gifts.

Comets will be able to kill without being put on trial so long as it is a Sign-ordered kill. Any kills Comets make outside of a request are eligible for trial.

What does this mean? This means that Comets will be able to kill without leaving behind any incriminating evidence, and if they are voted for in-trial during a week in which they kill they will not be executed. However, they will become more vulnerable in the following week and be on the list of victims for the following week.

Comets will also be able to receive access to additional tools for murders should Sol and Lune see fit.

Additional notes:
The Comets 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 Sol and Lune's discretion.

Best of luck.

SOL

[cyclists]

[forefall]

Does this mean there's less of a chance for corruption to take hold of someone this week?

[ Someone's kind of nervous. ]

[cyclists]

It's possible. [How to explain...] With Tokidoki, we were able to get a sense of where the darkness would go. This week when Lune and I looked, we didn't see anything new.

[forefall]

I would like to see that as good news, but I've just been... feeling a bit more on edge lately.

[cyclists]

Oh...[Yeah, that's...fair.] Because of this? Or something else? [A pause.] How can I help?

[forefall]

.... Both. [ She can't quite pinpoint it. It's more than that, but it's at least both. ] I don't know. I wish I knew the right thing to ask you.

[ ... ]

Is it only food you can conjure?

[ from his cloak of holding ]

[cyclists]

Take your time. We're both stuck here for a while. [They shake their head though.] I can make other things, but they can't be too big. Are you thinking of something specific?

[forefall]

... A nail file.

[ i don't know if nail files exist in drakengard 3 or not

please let me live ]

[cyclists]

...[The question is is it for her nails or to stab. But they can't really argue and so they wait and summon a nail file before holding it out to her. Please take it.]

[forefall]

[ not everyone is out to be stab all the time, sol?

Four takes it with a small smile. Her relief is almost palpable. ]

Thank you. I received clippers from the puzzle box everyone received, but I wanted... this, too.

[cyclists]

[Consider: people keep shoving swords in Sol's face.]

Sure. You can keep it, I don't think it's sharp enough to really do any damage or anything. But why clippers?

[forefall]

[ consider: tapping into the sunny side of your personality, sol ]

... Nail maintenance calms me down. I... get anxious, if I leave my nails alone for too long.

[cyclists]

[No =\

But there's a pause before there's a soft "oh" like they understand, and their hand disappears into their sleeve again. When it comes out, they're holding out a bottle of green nail polish. No, that's totally probably not what she meant but they're trying.]

[stillstands]

[ ... she can't say she's not glad to see no names here, but at the same time the fact they know there's a corrupted they didn't catch running around the place doesn't make her feel any better. ]

You couldn't track down the person we didn't catch on Saturday?

[ ... ]

I had another question as well. [ But first thing's first. ]

[cyclists]

[She's not going to like this, but:]We're no longer in a position to interfere with that. It's up to you to find them and deal with them now. [That's the gist of what they got from things, anyway.]

What's the other question?

[stillstands]

If you'd been able to track them down in the first place, we could have dealt with it earlier, have one less uncorrupted person dead and no unknown corrupted running around the place like a loose canon. You can take that back to whoever you're reporting to.

[ ... ]

If we have an idea of who has what powers it might be a good idea. Or even just... a number distribution of what elements are left in play, if you can't be so specific. I can narrow things down myself based on what I already know.

[cyclists]

[What if they just. Ignore all of that. Because they're also pissed at how things are going? Cool.]

I think you're misunderstanding how we can track anything, but okay. I'll let them know.

[They shake their head.] I can't give you a full listen of who has what powers. That's still interfering. [They fold their arms over their chest.] I can tell you one thing that might help though. All of your numbers started out even. There were thirty-two of you, and four elements. I think you can work from there, can't you?

[stillstands]

If there's going to be more than one corrupted a week, you're asking all of us to work harder to find more people. And there's far more at risk when voting.

So I'm asking the same of if not you, whoever it is that's helping and guiding you. [ sounds fair to her. ]

That's more than enough - knowing that we were even split. I can work with that.

[cyclists]

...we're working as hard as we can, but there are some things where my hands and Lune's hands are tied. I'm sorry if that's unfair, but it's unfair to us, too. We're doing what we can, but this week we weren't able to sense anything new. That's all.

[But there's a nod.] I figured you'd be able to work backwards. Keep that in mind, it might help.

[stillstands]

[ She closes her eyes and sighs. ]

So now it's just a waiting game to see if the person we failed to catch strikes again this week, or if they bide their time. [ ... or if someone else gets corrupted as well, is the unspoken part of this. ]

I will. I need to do so more investigating into powers, and this gives me a solid reason to do so.

[cyclists]

You have everything you need to find the corrupted. It's just a matter of putting the pieces together. [...]

Do you want some advice?

[stillstands]

It won’t count as too much interference if you give me some?

[ Might as well lay a card on the table though: ]

I figure they must be a water user, after what we learned at the trial. But all the water users I know have proven they hadn’t used their abilities last week.

[cyclists]

I don't think so since I'm not telling you exactly what to do. [But before that:] How many water users do you know?

[stillstands]

Alright then. If you can, I'd like to hear it.

Not many - two, and given what we found out at the trial, I think Junna was a water user too. So three out of the potential eight.

[cyclists]

Try to keep finding who belongs to which elements, and don't keep all of that information to yourself...just in case.

[But as for advice?] There's never such a thing as looking too closely. Even if someone thinks it's unnecessary to look, always question "why not?"
