Ah, I've never seen a drawing of yours. Ought to be quite good, methinks...
Oh, and before I forget, you realize you can control the Council members too? They're also NPCs, and I like to see what you think can or will proceed with the current happenings.
Ah, I've been a bit... lost in my own little world all day today. So it's hard for me to follow some things.
No, it wouldn't. It's there to test the power of the Messenger when they place their hands on it. It reacts to the touch to cause pain, but it's normal, as it forcibly removes all their energy and thrusts it back into their body. So basically, the more it hurts, the stronger the Messenger is.
Ohh, I see. So the Council will have a monster at the ready, perhaps one that regenerates quickly when near death, and that is how the Messengers show their current external strength: Timed as they battle it so the Council can shave a few of the slow Messengers off the initial number they called to evaluate....
So something happens during the evaluation? Sorry, I'm so... scrambled in my mind I really don't know up from down. Just use small words with me for a while....
Ah, that'd be good. ... Wait, my mind's acting crazy---after the evaluation ordeal, come the day, or after the interference? Perhaps both, under different circumstance?
Ohh, that does sound like a good idea. Perhaps Dylan's near death, from being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Something along the lines of separation and Eddie almost doesn't make it in time?
Ah, and how about Lillian's death due to this happening? It backfires on her and results in her permanent death.
