[quote=@Lewascan2] Heck yeah, welcome back to the party. Been a while since that first post, huh? Things sure got busy after that! Also, is it just me, or is Dynasty Queen's Grimoire "mental pollution" rather sinisterly strong, especially given this line (and others besides that were sprinkled about)? “Well I don’t die at the end of my legend... and I actually succeed at the quest!” Is that just a slip of the tongue, or are we looking at some Monkey King persona sneaking in shenanigans? Because that's definitely the takeaway Camelot would have if these sorts of things slip into her dialogue often. She definitely comes across as someone who believes they may be the Monkey King reborn. I guess what I'm actually asking is how much of that sort of talk does she casually slip into her dialogue (whether she believes it or not). I'm working on my next post, and given that Dynasty Queen just directly engaged in conversation with Camelot, you better believe she's getting an introductory segment of paragraphs dedicated to establishing Camelot's current thought process regarding her. [/quote] I always read it as Tesni/Dynasty Queen had such an easy time with her grimoire early on that now that she’s reached a mental roadblock she’s stuck and having trouble improving. So she started looking deep into the story and culture surrounding it, I mean what else could she do? No two grimoires are the same and the relationship to each person is just as unique. I’m not sure if the grimoires choose their wielder/user/host based on compatibility or what, but what if a grimoire and host are so compatible from the start? At that point if you can’t tell where the person stops and the story begins does it matter who is in the driving seat?
