Sounds very expensive!
"Let's hope this doesn't inflate your ego as grandly as it did the ceremony budget," he murmured as he finished crowning her.
"But I thought that already reached its maximum size?" Gisena blinked innocently at him.
Need some buffs to Gisena's ego capacity if it's already peaked.
"You seem to enjoy it."
"Aww," she grinned and laid dainty fingers over his own. "You know me so well... Your Majesty."
Just be Queen-consort already. smh
I wonder what the citizens think of their new rulers?
Gisena, of course, took to the matter with indefatigable cheer, remarking that their Kingdom was easier to manage than the territories she'd ruled as a noble in her old Realm. She gushed over the convenience and reliability of modern communications technology and was happy to do the intellectual heavy lifting on matters of great complexity.
Gisena is just so useful. What would Hunger even do without her? Just try and Cut Through?
"You'll get used to it," Gisena assured him, "People get bored of staring at even the mightiest of Sorceresses, given enough time. It may take years, but you'll need this power given the Curses you bear!"
Once again Gisena is here to reassure Hunger. He's such a worrywart.
Gisena and Letrizia had the wherewithal to withstand his influence. They were possessed of much experience in supernatural matters and comprehensively enhanced by their own arts. Aeira and Aobaru did not wield magics nearly as wide-reaching, and, for all their ability, had until recently been reasonably sheltered high schoolers students.
Hmm it's good that Gisena and Zea are immune but since we're at least taking Aobaru with us we should probably invest in a way to not melt his mind when he buffs us.
"Well, they don't exactly have matters well in hand," Gisena said, sorting through documents. Her standards were more exacting than most. "But they're probably capable of muddling along, and what more could you really ask for? Our underlings need to learn how to manage without me, the sooner the better!"
Poor bastards having to live without Gisena.
She could easily have refused the labor of reforming Sovereignty into Kingdom to spend the time Artificing instead. In truth they'd had no particular obligation to these people, and taking up the reins of the Kingdom would consume some of their attention even with the structures they'd set up. Had it been to appease the popular will alone, Hunger would have refused. Why had he agreed? Re-litigating the failures of his past? Not that alone, though he wouldn't deny it had played a part.
Hunger pulling out his full tsundere game here.
Gisena preened. "When do I not? Perhaps I'm a genius of hard work as well!"
Being a genius of geniuses on top of being a genius of hard work is almost unfair for everyone else Gisena!
"Yes, good job. Let's go take a vacation to kill things."
"So violent! Are these the vicissitudes of kingship?"
"Nothing inspires patriotism like war."
I love that Hunger's idea of a vacation is to just go kill things.
with The Elementalists has won. The Kingdom's current performance is Adequate, though Hunger remains overwhelmingly popular. Performance may improve as people become more accustomed to the laws.
Only Adequate! Roll better Hunger! At least we didn't fail I guess.
Just as the sky emblazons one's majesty, so too can it do the inverse, serving as a curtain drawn against the solar blaze of superhuman will. In addition to allowing the wearer to voluntarily decrease his Charisma +s in increments of 25% (without affecting associated Attributes like Protection from Vigor Itself! A rare trait), it also increases Protection by +++++ and AGI by ++. Allows the Evening Sky to disguise its appearance, taking on the semblance of the morning or noonday sky, or even of an ordinary cloak - much as it may despise such diminishment. Unlocks stealth- and disguise-based Advancements, including Conjunctional effects with Aeira.
*With the power of disguise comes the power, to scam...
*May provoke a certain individual. But you can probably take him. Right?
Tempted to take Skyveil just to see if Dr Apoclypse will pop out of nowhere to get mad at us.
[X] Vanquisher Halo
[X] Agents of the Throne
Holy Shit though, +20% rank and adding CHA to Str! The value! I'd be fine with Honing instead though since I'm not that keen on forever locking us into super CHA.
For the elementalist options I prefer Agents of the Throne. Regimentation is too strict and limits how elementalists can develop while without from gives too many perks just for being an elementalist and is likely to form some kind of weird cast system. At least with Agents the perks can be seen as something earned through service to the state.
