[quote=@Flamelord] Well, obviously when taken out of character. But in character it isn't all that shocking either because there hasn't been any time to get to trust Chiyo outside of that one mission, which not everyone was at in the first place. It's just 'Hey, turns out she's actually a bad guy', and we just roll with it. What was the point of even having her pretend to be on their side if she's going to blow her cover this early? And while it does get Emiri out of the story, it just doesn't have any real emotional impact for me as a reader, coming so close after the other two technically character's dying. That's why I don't find myself any closer to real tears than before it. Will there be impacts in character? Sure. But for the most part, I'm looking at it from an Out of Character perspective, and I wasn't that affected, and that's all I'm saying. [/quote] But of course. Even so, it's not like Chiyo is going around advertising herself so I wouldn't say she blew her cover. The others aren't exactly going to guess that she's the baddie outright automatically either. This may just be me, but I don't really see the issue of other characters being shocked of her real colors when IC, no one even knows much about her. They can't be surprised if they don't even know is all I'm saying. As for how close Chiyo's acts of evil are to each other IC, that's just GM convenience in dealing with Emiri's character and fitting it to the story. [quote=@Ariamis] [@Flamelord] I think Nanako's going to be affected by her death. Other than that I agree with Windel. [/quote] Oh yes, I'll enjoy the time when Nanako can get a good look at her "Onee-chan" >:)
