ou had me commit all my butterflies, even though the annual masquerade was approaching and it was the only time of year that Natasya would be able to meet Andre and the two could fall in love? Remember that. You're responsible for breaking up two lovers.

Just found this quest and ended up binge reading it. My current theory is that the Parenthesis are the real Starfell, who has been educated and tutored and such. And meanwhile the main character is an insane fragment of Death-Of-Stars that got fused onto Starfell.

Also, dammit dad, if you hadn't of mentioned the love of potatoes, then Starfell's sheer incompetence could have been a disguise
 
My personal theory is that Parentheses is a stabilizing influence "installed" into Starfall by whoever came up with the plan "Raise the Inheritor of Stars, Moon, Sun and Death to aspire to be a sack of potatoes".
The Parentheses' role seems to be a
1) Conversationalist
2) The First and Only Bastion of Common Sense in the Ungodly Carnage that is Starfall's Mind
3) Conscience ( and to calm her down by slideshows of potatoes, I guess )
4) Friend?
5) Other Assorted Functions

No, really, I'm not sure what exactly was the purpose of Parentheses, but she is more or less Starfall's caretaker and advisor now.
Kinda like an older sister who loves you very much and is stuck inside your head for all eternity. Contradictory, I know.

Then again, Starfall could have created Parentheses herself by fracturing her own psyche and assigning this second part to help her in an unconscious attempt to survive her childhood by the sheer virtue of being an incredibly powerful cosmic being with no idea however the fuck to use her powers properly.

We should probably be thankful either way. This Starfall that we know actually has a voice in her head telling her what the most sensible think is at the moment most of the time.

Imagine her without even that in the place of common sense.
 
Apologies for any radio silence. Regular updates should resume next week, just going to be very busy for a few days ^.^

edit: this may take longer than expected

Sometime in the future, Maugus will tell Starfall the tale of how he helped the Grand Treasurer's search for none other than himself, and Starfall will be distinctly unimpressed. Because really, father, you're right there, finding you wasn't hard at all, and besides you of all people should be able to find yourself.

I would love an Omake of that if dear ole dad next meet Starfall
 
Unfortunately the stress of work has done a lot to kill the momentum and motivation I had for this :( I was working more or less non-stop for four days on my studies last weekend and it burnt me out incredibly badly. I also broke up with my girlfriend a few weeks ago (it was mutual, we had moved to different cities and couldn't continue) and it only really hit me after I was totally emotionally buffeted by the work I had to do. A lot of what motivated Familiar Chain was happiness and that carried its way through the tone but I am not very happy right now and it has shown in my attempts at writing the next update, and so I think I will have to put it on hiatus.

You deserve happiness, and getting it is back is more important than any quest. Take care of yourself!
