You don't have to if you think it'll be funnier more dramatic!

[ninjayeehaw]

To clarify on his plot skill - essentially he can involuntarily turn into a human when he starts as not one?

[otomechapilot]

And went "oh, I can use this," yes!

ETA: After the Jaunt you can use this at will, during the Jaunt not so much.

[ninjayeehaw]

So Kinji's original mission was just to gather intel or sabotage, basically deep spy shit, but he accidentally uncovered that the Consort is alive? Or was he always here to find his Princept's Royal Bae?

[otomechapilot]

Lil bit of both!

Your mission was general intelligence gathering for the Princeps (Princess?) but you were told that if you chanced on Her Royal Baeness, follow up on it.

You did, so you did.

[ninjayeehaw]

Regarding the Philia core, is there any immediate way to identify that there's someone inside it, like psychic poking or just observation? And/or are there other cores in the works that he'd be able to investigate later and realise they have people sized holes?

[otomechapilot]

They're designed to emit tight-beam emotional power to the Phileon in a way that's difficult to identify as coming from a person. It's like a one-way mirror for telepathy and S-Tech.

On the other hand, sometimes it leaks, and eventually (not this week barring someone poking it real hard) it'll leak badly...

And yeah, if you sift through enough data you might notice it's big enough to stuff a person inside, and stuffed with psychometric and cryostasis equipment (that's officially for a very cold superconducting core for an AI like Psyche-Chan).

ETA: There are other cores in the works with these specifications. Some might be dummy plugs with braintapes. Others might need to be stuffed with savory Aurigan goodness.

[ninjayeehaw]

If he knows the trigger to transform himself and times it well, would he be able to have any control over what his transformation looks like? Is it randomised or is he stuck as One Thing?

I have not had the Doki Syndromes before

[otomechapilot]

I believe as per Tiresias this is a single consistent form, but this is a Mattmod question?

[thornsofmalkav]

Word of Matt is a single consistent form. (Which I guess is David Texxant.)

[ninjayeehaw]

Is there much of a functional difference between S.Tech Masque and general Tiresias? I'm sleep deprived and unsure.

[otomechapilot]

Merely that the form is cross-species!

[otomechapilot]

Yep, one form as per Mattmod!

[ninjayeehaw]

Excellent, he now looks like David Tennant

[ninjayeehaw]

Regarding Aurigan telepathy, would Kinji be able to use it while Tiresias'd?

[otomechapilot]

...I'mma say yes.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yep! Also if he's stuck in one form or another thanks to time limits, he can cheat out of it by using this skill.

[ninjayeehaw]

For my own records, his activation trigger is Human Classical Music (Specifically Cellos) and his deactivation is Palm-On-Skin Contact (Eg: handshakes, grabbing someone etc)
