@SporkoBug

But you might be asking?

Why does the holy church of the Noc Noc Mathias burg shaped in the size of a burg?

Any BIG buildings in Nocturnia are owned by Soylent Green or it's child companies, because bigger buildings = bigger ad space.

Sometimes, they are in the shape of Noc Noc Burgs, chow or milkshakes.

This has been your daily lore dosage.

@ERode Sorry for a ping friend; what's the biggest church building in riverbend look like?

@SporkoBug

Now those are some nice gifts. Shame, Vincent can't win 'em all. xD

Gotta give Emily's lover some noc nocs for the battle to come.

Vincent's Slight Update

Aetheric Dive

This is the true nature of Vincent's ability, and something he prides himself on. He is able to take his aetheric wisps, and sink them into the mind around him. From there, he can read, insert, and remove thoughts and memories. Essentially, the brain becomes his home, and he can fashion it how he likes. He can fashion commands that change the very structure of the brain, rewiring synapses and making the changes near-permanent.

It is possible for a target of his to fight against a thought implanted. However, they first have to recognize that the thought is foreign. This is a difficult thing to do, especially if Vincent inserts thoughts, memories, and commands that seem natural. If a person is prone to eating ice cream, and Vincent commands them to eat ice cream, it is very unlikely they will notice the foreign input, and instead go eat their ice cream.

However, if someone notices a thought is foreign, they can try to resist it. This is an incredibly hard thing to do as they are going against the rewriting Vincent has done to the mind, but can be done with consistent effort and time, typically a few days.

It is due to this that Vincent will often write in a command that will force a person to seek him out, so he can tamper with their mind again and solidify his hold. When he repeats his rewritings, they become stronger, less malleable, and more permanent.

Due to his influence in the mind, there is a sudden surge of chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, which flood the mind when he is done, giving the person almost a high. They'll become very happy for a few hours, before crashing and craving more. This too, can be overcome, though it is a difficult thing, just like any withdrawal and addiction.

(A 1d12 dice roll. If his is higher, he gets into the victim's mind successfully. If his is lower, he suffers mental recoil, unable to retry until two posts pass. An intoxicated mind or traumatized body takes -2 on their dice roll. A person can choose not to roll, meaning they allow Vincent into their mind.)

Limitations and Weaknesses:

If a person is listening to music or is otherwise actively shielding their thoughts with surface nonsense thoughts, like what they want to eat or what groceries they need, he is unable to dive past that in Aetheric Hearing.

If a person electrocutes themselves or him continuously, this will disrupt his influence and he'll be kicked out of a mind (if he is in one). It will also make him unable to enter into or hear a mind.

He can attack or hear multiple targets at a time, but can become quickly overwhelmed with the stimuli and be unable to move.

Noc Noc City Burg~ Noc Noc City Chow~

Ragged Gavel had been forgotten about, it was last weeks new. When Clash clashed her way to the top by gunning down some low level thugs and taking their loot, it's what a good detective did anyway. Emily cared about her district despite busting them open like a carton of eggs and emptying out all it's riches and criminals storing them away in the jeweled bank. When you work in Noc Noc city you get this type of Noc Noc hunger, even if a Noc Noc Burger moved a true loyal fan would eat that sandwich in a heart beat.

"...And we're proud to announce the grand opening of Noc Noc Burger in Ragged Gavel!" The spokesperson said cutting the red ribbon with Clash and the NPD as Noc Noc Burger opended to fanfare and cheers from the crowd. Ragge Gavel was really becoming something, opening along with it was a NPD sub station (for dumping Clash's loot) and underneath the Noc Noc Burger was of course Soylent Green's meat factory (trade marked and strictly confidential).

Emily handled the press tour after as she hyped the populace up to their new favourite chow spot, this had been the highlight for her this month. One child arrested, one Noc Noc burger opended in her district and one police helicopter used mercilessly kill drug kingpins.

She felt great, albeit she had so much more to deal with.

Upgraded Ragged Gavel to comfortable

Hey You~

A letter is hand delivered to Mathias from Eve along with a package.

Hey Sinner,

Do you still want to rule this city, in your own special way? I'd like to join you, by your side.

Some would say it's crazy I fell for a guy who's head is just a gas giant, but they don't know you were the only one to give me the time of day.

Try to survive what's coming, I want to see you again.

When we meet it'll be special, you can paint me just like I wanted. Like a saint.

Yours truly,

Clash
