Hi all.  I've been watching this awesome story since this started and have been happy to watch you guys play it.  However I finally saw something that made me join up and post.

RILTIA HAS STOLEN THE ASTRAL INFLUX AND SWAPPED IT FOR A FAKE!!!

Here's the evidence for this assertion:

Firstly, Riltia knocking the influx out of Ciro's hand when she tried to switch perspective is highly suspicious. 

Surely just bumping into Ciro would have achieved the same end.  However by knocking the influx out of Ciro's hand and then picking it up for her, Riltia has the opportunity to pull a fairly basic bait and switch.  Her actions also goes against the taboo that was established long ago that you don't touch another person's soul star (I think it came from Proxxy).  I know as player characters we've been breaking that rule but has Riltia ever done so?

Secondly, in the update following the switch we're told rather sarcastically that the Influx is out of power and won't work for a long time, thus encouraging us to avoid using it and to not be surprised if it doesn't work.  If I remember correctly the influx has never had a cool-down time when used for switching perspectives before and if it did I see no reason why this time the waiting period would be any longer than usual.

Thirdly, as FallacyofUrist noted after Riltia handed the influx back to Ciro the appearance of the influx has changed and looks distorted.  This suggests that it could be a fake.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get images to work but it's all in the last two updates if you want to check the evidence.

Of course I could be wrong.  Therefore my suggestion is that we try to second shift the influx in order to see whether or not it's the real one.  If it's not, I don't know what to do.  I guess we gang up on Riltia and make her tell us the truth, or maybe even ask her first.

This is an amazing piece of work ffs and I'm sorry to see you go grape-picking.  Have an awesome time.

Oh and, spirit class: Kamikaze Chemist,

Oh and, spirit class: Kamikaze Chemist,

Ciro has the real Astral Influx in her inventory. Riltia stopped us from switching, and when we tried to switch again, the Astral Influx appeared and was out of power. Not fake, but imaginary. The same thing happened to Al, whenever he was told to use his Exchange, because the Exchange is probably in the LSS.

Maybe the point of tWoOtA is to deconstruct the power of friendship? Maybe we should do what Oric wants and kill Riltia?

What if the point was that this is all in Ciro's head and she's just trying to rationalize killing Riltia?

[Empiricist]

I say we have Al turn everyone into a vampire to ensure that they'd come back if they die. That way we can also have a bit of room for error if say, we were to execute Riltia.

[RAM]

So if everyone in the warrens was a vampire, except for the shopkeepers obviously, would there be enough food for the vampires, and would the vampires be able to get what food there was?

[Empiricist]

Yes. Provided they earn enough of an income to buy the blood of the shopkeepers

[Andres]

Bring up the fact that Riltia was also a dungeon boss like Proxxy was. It might help them get along better.

Go somewhere private with Riltia. Tell her to stop angsting and hiding things from us because it only results in bad things happening to everyone, including her.

[birdy51]

I think that we shouldn't be too tough on her just yet. We've caught her in some lies, certainly. But I should wonder if that is because she needs our help. What if dumping Al's Soul Star was a good thing in some way we don't understand yet?

We're not being tough on her, we're just telling her to stop keeping things from us. There full well could've been a reason to dump Al's soul star but it's critical we understand why. If she needs our help, then she needs to tell us what she needs help with. We can't continue wallowing in ignorance.

[FallacyofUrist]

+1 to second shifting the Astral Influx.

Why would Riltia want the Influx... unless she wants to control who the "main character" is?

[Elephant Parade]

+1 to second shifting the Astral Influx.

[laularukyrumo]

Now there's an idea.

+1 Second Shift
