shadow world?

Summary:

Alear asks Eveyle about the new 'Shadows'.
(She is not rebranding.)

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

“...’Shadows’, huh? Are you planning to rebrand yourself?” Alear asked.

The other Veyle huffed. “And what would this have to do with me?”

“Because you’re… you.”

“These ‘Shadows’ are about encouraging betrayal. I was loyal to my heritage, while you and the other me were betraying it.”

“...Fair point.”


Later, those three decided to test out the shadow world’s combat.

“So we have to work together to–”

Eveyle cast Ennea Fire EX on the party.

“...You know, we can see who uses a non-shadow spell.”

“I’m just trying to get to the good part!”

“It does go faster this way…?”

Notes:

Shrug...? Shrug.

I actually played through enough of this to realize ignoring the social deduction is just as viable since in the end you're just here to grind rewards. I think the magic system is more overcomplicated than people will think at first and friendly fire/factionless AOE spells are funny, so you get this piece of meta on top of commentary on these new Shadows, which hopefully I can leave behind here on that note.

I do not expect an actual Shadow Veyle for multiple reasons, but if it happens then I can sigh for my past self for a moment.

(Veyle was the shadow.)
