"Right, yeah. Sure. What could possibly go wrong, eh?"

Go meet Charlie in Greenblatt park. Act casual.

"Another... name?  Larry Malone's the full thing.  Or you could try Cal.  Or do Halesey- kinda wondering what he's up to.

"Larry... Malone... hm. I'm feeling that one, yeah. And specific, too, uh... not sure if that's a good thing? Best not to think too much, my ma always said..."

[Mind roll: 5+1]

You blink, and suddenly everything's gone. There's only you. One, two, three... four of you. Each is you. One of you steps back into you, and you flash with a golden light. A second one follows, and you bathe the void in radiance. A third cannonballs into you from above, and then you splash, spill everywhere, collapsing into a cloud of you that disperses, growing thinner, ever thinner...

You blink. The wick-headed man stands before you. Mrs. Lady is still insensible. Something is different now. Three new things vie for dominance in your head. All three are you.

Spoiler: Your New Spell Choices (click to show/hide)

You look at the wick-headed man. You don't think he actually said anything just now.

"So, uh, yeah. That's a thing. Hey, lady, you want to see the trick, too?" he asks of Mrs. Lady. "What's your name?"

"Oh, huh, what?" Mrs. Lady looks at him, startled. "My name's Tracey. Yeah. Sorry. Got distracted. There was this..."

"Flame, yeah. So, Tracey, let's see..."

Tracey twitches as the wick-headed man looks at her. Her body starts to convulse, blood starts coming out of her nose and streaming from under her glasses. She doubles over while remaining on her knees, the contents of her stomach coming right out in a stream of projectile vomit.

"Uh, whoops. Are you, er, okay?"

Tracey does appear to be stable after a moment, or at least not bleeding or vomiting quite as much, though she's certainly in a bad way.

"... why?" she asks accusatorily.

"Sorry, I just, er, overdid it, I guess?"

She coughs for a moment, trying to clear up her throat, then sits back further away from the newly-made puddle of her internal fluids.

Larry grinned.  Custom spells, and he didn't have to give up any memories for it!  Cool deal.  Too bad that chick just puked everywhere.  Ugh.

"Thanks buddy!  Have a hat on me."


Spew some hats everywhere.

You should make more durable friends.

Also, that was the last update for Larry before the update. Wouldn't want to clog the thread too much.

Fair enough; spellcasting means major update anyway usually.


And I like the character concept!

A good person admit their mistakes and tries to fix them instead of sticking with a wrong choice. ... An even better person would not feel the need to point that out.
"Maybe you're right. I do not know all those things you do, unfortunately. And I am not one to deny my mistakes."

"Still, if they see you and me waiting at their door, wouldn't they just turn around and run away?
And you said it yourself that this block has been optimized for the times of its occupants, but since the ma- shade I am looking for is not a regular occupant, couldn't that mean that there is a chance he arrives later? Wouldn't that give them enough time to... I dunno, use a cellphone or one of those screens to alert the one I'm looking for?"


Could I perhaps open the door just enough to break the soundproof seal? Or are there magnets/magic involved preventing me from doing that?
