re: the defectors, wrio gave malkuth the neat idea to see if there's a relatively up-to-date census log in the libraries across karteria in order to determine if they can put any names to faces and possibly trace where the defectors generally hailed from! sort of on the same line as kal's question but with more of a focus on what group is centrally leaving karteria's safe walls and any hint as to why -- are they being pushed out? do they just see their chances better away from the government and patho-gen? that sort of thing (malkuth assumes it's most likely the dispirited lower class rather than anyone from the cushier upper echelons, but a confirmation in some direction would be better!) |
The assumption that the defectors hail from the most impoverished and lower class groups... that would be accurate. Anyone with means (and just as important: a support network) would not attempt to live outside the city. Almost everyone, even should they become unhoused, would remain in Karteria proper, scraping out a meager life that's still preferable to the quicker death by arcane radiation outside the barrier. So those who do make the choice- or feel like they have to, with no where else to go, alienated from society- don't leave much behind them. It's possible to sift through census data to find names of people who are in Karteria one year, and gone the next time the census takers make their rounds. And the lower down you go in society, the more incomplete the information is, and the more people fall through the cracks. Occasionally, a very dedicated government employee will risk going out to the defectors, feeling a duty that their existence should still be recorded. This helps to fill in some gaps, but the people who live out there... aren't the most forthcoming when it comes to their personal information. The middle (and even, on some exceptionally rare occasion, upper) class have turned up amongst the defectors, but only for very short amounts of time, before someone (usually law enforcement) turns up to collect them. They still have people to look for them, are still under someone's watch, and going out there even in the short term is usually the result of a mental health crisis. For the lower classes/impoverished who live out there permanently, there's no one left to take them in, or no one who wants to. Their reasons are various, but there are common underlying threads, such as a paranoia towards governmental structures/Patho-Gen/everything. Do they feel like they were pushed out? Some of them do, though they'd have a harder time naming a specific culprit. Society itself, maybe. |

Answer date: 2025-12-12 |
are the hallucinations from "My one true love...?" deceptive in nature? Or is it just like the rest of Kelesis, fake(/a dreamscape) but not deceptive? I imagine if the person appearing as the loved one had the intention of toying with or manipulating them that would ping Xiezhi's Insight as lying/guilty? |
Right, the hallucinations themselves aren't precisely deceptive, being more in line with the rest of Kelesis. The way characters are appearing to others isn't something they have control over, or active choice; there's no intent to deceive anywhere, so it wouldn't register as being lied to. But yes, should a character use that hallucination to manipulate, to actively take advantage of the illusion to pretend to be someone they're not- that would ping as deception, as lying. |

Oh boy. This is what he was worried about. Time to draft a copy of the interviews for the government. They need to know and he is keeping that starting relationship open. Will they answer whose department natural souls are? Just the title of the department and if they let more slip…he will be casually listening. Pay no attention to the law officer listening to you. Keep thinking just an Augmented. |
Most will shrug and say they don't know, that there's a lot of departments, and they frequently change names, merge with another, are split apart from another- basically, that it's hard to keep track. This is even true, though many are just as likely to use this as a redirect, or an excuse not to answer. Some will just refuse outright, whether they know or not. But it's possible to find someone who'll also shrug and give an answer: the modest sounding Department of Acquisition and Refinement. It used to just be Natural Resources, and dealt with things more akin to mineral rights. The last restructuring happened not that long ago, but they really don't know much more than that. It's not their business, how Natural Souls got there. |

1. Are any of the 30 Patho-gen employees actually individuals that conducted the experiments? Someone characters might recognize? Or are they all low rank/did they just throw the custodians and interns under the bus? 2. Does Karteria have any bizarre laws that no one in their right mind knows or actually enforces? Like "illegal to handle salmon suspiciously" or "no upholstered furniture is allowed on a porch" sort of thing. |
1. No, none of the characters would be recognized as somebody who performed an experiment. They were indeed employees who were performing tasks to assist those who were working on Augmented Ones, or even some who were overseeing operations, but none who were ever directly involved with harming their subjects. For a more detailed answer, I will direct you to this reply on the OOC plotting post! 2. What place doesn't?? Here are some random examples: -Showing the bottoms of one's foot, shoed or otherwise, in public establishments while seated is against the law. Exceptions are made to those who are made to do so due to injury or disability. -Flash photography is not permitted while it is raining. -It is illegal to use Calling magic on animals that are the property of another Karterian. -Selling or otherwise monetizing one's medical imaging documents is forbidden. Again, these are just about never enforced, and most people (including law enforcement) don't even know they're technically on the books... |

Sweet mods, can you possibly give me a ballpark of how many numis would be reasonable to charge an individual on the street for such an item? (because of course Five isn't going to trust Kalim with the money side of this nonsense,) | hahahaha Depends on the size! The current going price of solid gold... It's about 1000 numis per gram. A gram looks like this. (I needed Help understanding Gold Price and Envisioning a Gold Gram...) Sculpted into a beautiful feathers... If the feather weighs about a gram, it would be appraised for about 3000 numis! (in my mind i am getting reference points from, say, this, which is a hollow sculpture weighing about a gram. so.) But the more it's puffed up, the more money one can try to seduce from the coffers of the rich. Call him an ARTISAN and that this is PAINSTAKINGLY HANDCRAFTED from his VERY OWN BLOOD/SWEAT/TEARS and whatnot. Someone had to DIE for this feather. Kalim SLAVED over it. up to 5000nums could be at stake. QUICK EDIT: It's a good thing Five is selling it on Kalim's behalf. If a Golem-type were to sell it themselves, they'd probably be low-balled since this is a crafted work. Karterians do not try to underpay service Servitons when there is a listed price on an item, but they'd try to underpay for their labor if it were being sold and made by them.

I was not expecting to mark 'Kelesis is Zanarkand' on my Kart conspiracy board So many questions. Very sorry about this interrogator man. 3. Hubert meets blunt with blunt: so long as whatever Kelesis is doing is not harming/impeding him or his, they will have nothing to fear from him. He just wants to learn; the current Augmented have been abducted into this world and held in the dark. He wants to understand what is happening to him [oocly, his gaining of the Peri-soul]; he wants to know if the doe-eyed figure is a former generation Augmented; he wants to understand how Kelesis protects its citizens from radiation in case that might be applied or adapted elsewhere; they once said 'Karteria has helped and hurt', can they confirm how; and it was them, wasn't it, that sheltered the Augmenteds' minds in the October dream carnival? He will guard Kelesis' nature and only speak of it to truly trusted; Hubert acknowledges even outside of Patho-Gen, there are likely some Augmented that could do serious damage with this knowledge. He will also not dispel these dreams (barring anything like the hallucination prompt/sidebar in the event). 4. He will express a marvel for the dream world, but also, if he is becoming like the doe-eyed figure... would the doe-eyed figure tutor him in his Perissodactyla dream abilities? In exchange, so long as it does not harm his own interests, he will offer to protect Kelesis interests outside their borders. Feel free to interpret this as a Pact offer—Hubert is a baby Peri and unaware of the pact magic. (Hubert definitely would utilize that knowledge to haunt the dreams of those who gravely wrong him.) |
3. Hubert's forthright nature goes over well with them. But they are a little surprised at the idea that the doe-eyed figure is a former Augmented. This much they will easily refute; no, they are not and have never been an Augmented. They had never seen one before their arrival on Eparsis. As for whether they aided during the dream carnival: they will suggest yes, but some of that was specifically performed by missing bretheren of theirs. Their greatest sphere of influence is around Kelesis, but dreams know fewer boundaries. And the distress of those 'nearby' resonated fiercely enough for them to take notice of it. There is an unease about this too, a worry that churns wordlessly in the background. As for Karteria's past actions: Karteria withdrew aid. We came to help. We were invited. We were The 'voice' abruptly shifts into a flash of imagery. It's drawn, in a crude storybook-like way, with the ground scratched out and the sky dark and simple figures collapsed in the streets. It's clear that this is a scene of mass death. The text just as suddenly clips back in, as though the prior scene had never been there. We saved what Karteria would not. But our protection... ... No. It wouldn't work for you. You don't need it. If Karteria ever falls come and find us. They don't seem willing or able to help with barrier creation outside of Kelesis- or at least, not until Karteria itself is in dire straits, its dying throes. Perhaps as recompense for its treatment of Kelesis? 4. As for whether Hubert is becoming a doe-eyed figure... they have to mull it over. He is, and isn't like them. He is a human and an arachnid, concepts they view in equal regard. But he is also like them now. But they will light up at the offer; once it's made, the surroundings of their dream bubble fade into haze and stillness. There's no sound left but the speech of the entity before him, the words etched into his soul. Promise to protect Kelesis from afar, and we'll show you how to use the part of us that we gave you. And they will make good on that offer, freely giving Hubert some pro tips on how to navigate dreams, how to create or modify them, how to speak in courier text, the kinds of dreams they think taste best... practical aid, encompassing the kinds of powers a Perissodactyla-type would possess. (What Hubert does with his new abilities does not concern them so long as it doesn't run contrary to Kelesian interests.) |

And I assume they dismiss any talk of dangers from the space between worlds. What do they know about how natural souls were uh, caught. Do they stick to the Patho-gen stance that they are out to save their world. Or is it all as said above. |
Dangers...?! A provocative line of discussion, and they'll actually be interested to listen, but not really heed anything. Whether this persuades them in any direction is another story, nor is it particularly material, as they're now stuck in jail instead of working with colleagues who wish to explore other worlds. Do they know about how Natural Souls were obtained? No. That is not their department (their department isn't torture, either, but here we are). Natural Souls are natural phenomena... Probably came from wolves and stuff. That this may imply killing other creatures isn't concerning to them. Do they stick to the Patho-Gen stance that they're going to save their world? Their answer is more along the determined line of saving Karteria, wishing to save humanity. Many of these people are deeply concerned with the fate of humanity, but for some reason have it in their minds that Tamariah itself cannot be saved. Why, they're less sure about and have fewer answers. If reminded that conditions are measurably improving from Augmented intervention, well... Some of them may cede and say "I hope that continues to be true. Maybe then we wouldn't need to leave." |

can augmented use Calling and can Calling be used on karterians or kelesians? | Calling appears to be a power that is innately Karterian, but characters who are versed in magic can likely learn some version of it. Yes! However, Calling magic strictly seems to work on animals of a non-primate persuasion, as well as plants and other natural phenomena. Suggesting that Calling be used on humans would cause Karterians to balk. (Cool double standard there, guys.) |

Would Karterians seeking feathers be happy to be gifted one instead, or is part of the superstition in the plucking? Asking for an Aves slightly traumatised about feather plucking thanks to Patho-Gen. |
Being gifted a feather is perfectly alright with them, though they may react with some surprise! The superstitions really don't go into plucking vs. gifting, as it's difficult to ask an actual bird for permission. But it has been considered extra good luck to catch a bird flying off, with a pristine feather left behind. They'll probably consider an Augmented gifting a feather as almost an extension of that, and be appropriately appreciative of the volunteer. |

Would many Karterians be willing to purchase an extremely lifelike solid gold feather as a festive memento, or is getting it directly from the bird integral to the appeal? | Wow........ This is probably over the budget for most. But perhaps..... A very rich Karterian who has had one too many Cabernets for the evening will purchase it! The more realistic it is, the better. Needs to be so brittle that it breaks. |

re: the Outer Defectors If gently wheedled or pressed, would any of them mention family that they wish they could see/talk to? Someone that should be notified when they die in the following days? Obviously they feel abandoned but, for instance, if they had a young kid once upon a time or someone they cared for that they haven't been able to see... Or are they pretty much all in the mindset that even those people have abandoned them? Edited 2025-12-05 02:26 am (local)
|
Most of the defectors are of the conviction that they've been abandoned- or are proud (bitter) about doing the abandoning themselves. No one cares about them, they don't need anyone, they know the truth, etc., it's as exhausting as it is sad. The mental deterioration due to arcane radiation isn't doing them any favors when it comes to a steady lucidity. It's still possible to hit upon a moment of weakness and regret in some of them, and be given a name, some direction. They won't ask for anyone to be located, but if an Augmented were to persevere anyway... Most of the time there's nothing to find- either because no one remembers who they're talking about, or because the information they gave was incorrect, jumbled up with something else. In some cases, it's possible to get an indirect hit, locating an old neighbor, or a friend who recognizes the description. Some will pass along the news that the person has already died. Others will become defensive, upset if it's made clear on whose behalf the Augmented is looking, and refuse to connect them further. 'Good riddance,' is the common sentiment. 'I hope they stay out there. Leaving is the only good thing they've ever done.' But the defectors are not, unfortunately, wrong about being alone out there. Apart from the vague 'community' they keep outside the city, no one else would notice if they were gone. |

- Is this Karterian aversion to Perissodactyla for this month only or is this ongoing? Either way, does that aversion impact his chances of getting an accounting job for winter now the greater job market opened up? - Hubert knows what emojis sound like, I guess. If does he know what that Kelesisan courier font sounds like, if he gets that speed dating card. - Hubert has been nursing suspicions about Kelesis for a while and the hallucination thing will spur him to try. If he stays the night in Kelesis and looks for a Perissodactyla dreamworld (or... to exit one?) for Kelesis/the doe-eyed figure that has appeared before/the voices that have talked to him, what happens? |
1. It seems to have suddenly flared up! It's only for this month... And frankly, citizens will apologize for being cagey. They may even source... A strange dream they had that they're only just remembering. No, it wasn't a bad dream, just a strange one. They don't remember the details. They don't even know why Hubert would be the cause for remembering it. He should be capable of getting a job and maintaining it without issue. 2. Kelesian courier font sounds like a collective voice, and it would indeed sound like the voices of the city's guardians! The same voice he even heard when getting his special soul... Whispers of multiple individuals. 3. Oh, Hubert. Good sleuthing! His suspicions will be correct, although he'll find as a fresh Perissodactyla-type that the distinction between dreaming and being awake while in Kelesis is barely there. Technically yes, anyone who enters Kelesis remains awake while they're awake, and asleep while they're asleep... but the city itself is suspended in a myriad of dream-bubbles, the will of many dreamers! That these dreams can be experienced by the waking world is the work of its guardians. Thus, there are plenty of entry/exit points. That doe-eyed figure will appear just as soon as Hubert hopes to find them. To Hubert specifically, as is true for any other Perissodactyla-type who wishes to meet. That individual embodies many people, and while most can't determine that, it'll be clearer to any Perissodactyla who meets them. If he has any questions, they're willing to answer, but they'll tell Hubert outright that Kelesis appears as it does by the will of its people. That they are protecting it. They won't stand to have it ruined. Trying to dispel any of these dreams is in direct defiance of the pact they've made to protect this city, and will be as good as a declaration of animosity... So tread carefully. |

To those who investigated the East Sophia disappearances a while back, would the way in which the outer city defectors who say too much suddenly vanish appear similar in nature to how those disappearances were happening (and is it possible to pick up any sort of trail at all)? | This is a good question, and definitely a vein of inquiry that should be explored. The answer is not straightforward, meaning that there's something to this theory, characters will find. For anyone reading this who needs a reminder re: the missing people, disappearances from East Sophia came from an earlier Velvet Quest prompt, and can be find under the Concluded tab. Further context can be found in the "preemptive FAQ" dropdown upthread. Much of the original kidnappings that occurred in East Sophia ground to a halt after the Augmented turned their eyes upon it, but many outer city defectors continued to be targeted. Those shady fellows who seemed to be contracted kidnappers lurk in dark, downtrodden places... but they aren't the ones responsible for kidnapping any outer city defectors this time. Interviewing others who make do in the outer city after any disappearance is like pulling teeth. But some may indicate that they heard some kind of major kerfuffle, an argument that turned physical—then, silence. Augmented Ones can find some evidence to prove this: signs of blood splatter, torn clothes, a tooth knocked from a jaw, a clump of hair. They got serious. It seems that it was an outer city defector who fought another outer city defector, and what happened to them from there... it's hard to say. It won't be easy to find these nomadic people, who don't often spend their time in one place... but if a character acts with haste, they may be able to find another beat-up defector who knows something. "Was paid to do it," they say, still nursing wounds. "They're dead now. Yep... They've got ears everywhere. Whaddaya going to do, arrest me? I'll kick your ass." ... So they weren't kidnapped, but someone had them killed. Someone knew they spoke out of turn. This is alarming. (Who "They" are, this person won't even be able to say. They don't know, either. The government?????? The birds????? Someone does!) And waiting one day too long means that characters will learn nothing of the situation, as their attacker won't be found even a day afterwards. That is where someone with greater power stepped in and dealt with them, too. |

I assume they don’t care to remember Aigmented we’re just human or so themselves before they altered them. But. If questioned about these rifts, what do they say? And if an Augmented clearly has knowledge of beyond their own world…how do the criminals react? |
NAHHHH they do not care. People from other worlds are basically not important. The rifts, they know sorry little about. They just talk about it like weird loons. But people who know about worlds beyond their own... They seem interested, though it's abundantly clear that talking shop about worlds beyond even Tamariah is beyond them, much less talking about the state of the neighboring island Ekklisis. They don't seem particularly worldly, much less other-worldly. But they're receptive to having conversations about other people's worlds, and may take one of two angles: either 1) how weak are the people there? or 2) how... nice is it, there? What troubles do the people face? Which topic they choose depends on how threatened they feel. If they feel threatened, they'll pick the former; if they're being talked to calmly, they may pick the latter, hoping to hear about a nicer world. |

Popping onto this question for the other way around version - would it be reasonable to assume some of the punished (particularly the ones who were overseeing experiments or transporting supplies) remember Augmented experimentees (particularly ones who got up to notable disruption and chaos...not naming any names...)? Relatedly, as Momo did try to sneakily filter out spores to a significant chunk of the facility as an opportunistic thing as he encountered people, with the mention on the Fungi soul page that it's very difficult to completely get rid of their spores once they've grown onto someone, might he be able to still pick up some bloodstream spores on certain people as a way of recognising if he encountered them directly? | Some of them do! About 1/3~1/2 of them remember some Augmented experimentees. ...And thus, a few of them may be afflicted by the spores. Clever, Momo. Clever. We'll go with about four of them having been exposed, though there is very little these sorry inmates can do, even while being supervised in their community service duties. Still, they will be Spore'd up. |

Thank you for a chill event this month :> Since Viktor and Jayce have helped with the teleporters in the past, what would Patho-Gen say if they offered to look at them again when the problems start? |
They'd be more than happy to have them take a look! As for what they'll find... Something is interrupting their function, but it's nothing like their internal mechanisms, their maintenance, or their power supply. While Viktor may not be so able to notice anything weird, Jayce, as a Golem-type... if he's harnessed any of his powers over the earth, each hiccup in their functionality aligns with a strange distortion of ambient magnetic fields. Whatever's going on, it's on a much, much bigger scale than will be sorted in a month's time, but some other soul types may be able to pursue more information... |

For the romantic hallucinations in Kelesis, are these necessarily current loves, or might they take the form of former loves as well? For the drama. | Interesting question!

the kelesis hallucination of a loved one: how long does it last? Is it a matter of being simply shaken out of it and told it's not who they think it is, or does the delusion extend past all reason into something more prolonged? | It can last as long as you'd prefer it to, but it will surely end if the character somehow leaves the city of Kelesis. It can end if the character hits their head on something too hard, or if they're slapped; it could end if they trip and fall, or if their senses are engaged with something that pulls them out of the hallucination, like a familiar or provocative smell, touch, sound, or taste. Their sight, however, is utterly useless. Thus, being told that the person they're seeing may not be enough to snap a person out of it. It could work, but it depends on how deeply the individual is lost in the sauce. It can be an intoxicating, dreamlike hallucination; it can be something more shallow too, if the player prefers. Short answer: it can last as long as is preferred within Kelesis (though it probably wouldn't last longer than a day); it can be as easy or as difficult as preferred to shake out of, but the best results will be from engaging any sense other than sight. |

For the ex-Patho-Gen people, would plant pheromones and giving them an alcoholic hot drink like Irish coffee or spiked hot chocolate (ostensibly to help them warm up while working outside) lower their inhibitions enough to let a few things slip that they might not have intended to? | Ooh, good question! It very well could. Most of them don't have anything to offer beyond the scope of their clerical duties, or the fact that they weren't all that important in the grand scheme of things. Some may even state their regret for their involvement, but not for any, ah... moral reason. It's purely because they feel so small, thrown under the bus like this. So disposable. Most of them are grunt workers. Janitorial. Clerical. They were in charge of guarding a doorway, or making sure paperwork went unseen. They were in charge of cleaning supplies, or replacing scalpel blades. They admit things like their overall hatred of the upper class, or their disgust towards the lower class; they'll talk about how Patho-Gen will find a way to salvation. That's what all of this loyalty is all about. Salvation. ... For this firm belief in salvation, these imprisoned Patho-Gen members sure don't seem to know much about the plan behind attaining salvation, however. Something about unlocking the pathway to worlds beyond this one, this miserable place. Hardly worth saving. To try to fight its destruction is delusion. They fear the encroaching arcane radiation. These staff members spiral at this point, if drunk/drugged enough; they're sad, scared, powerless. Even though they're complicit in horrific crimes, at the end of the day they're rebelling against a world they're certain is going to kill them. They don't believe in the angle of trying to solve or understand Katalyth, and believe they need to give up on the world, and rebuild on another. |

Also asking, but please disregard if this will be detailed on the post: for the tortured Augmented who have remembered some things, are any of these ex-PG employees recognizable?

Staff members who ferried vials or syringes to and fro; people complicit in this overall endeavor. A few may even be those tasked with overseeing experiments. Others, however, are completely unrecognizable. Regardless of which staff member is asked, they will be forthright about what part they played, and admit to it. Whether they were present at the Holiday Destination, or acting remotely from Patho-Gen HQ in some capacity, they'll say that much.

obligatory q.............. for velvet claw quest #1, would they let someone with a criminal record who would definitely do nefarious things with such power (not naming names...) supervise these folk? | Heheh... Elijah... No. They would not. The families of these individuals would protest greatly, claiming that the lives of their imprisoned loved ones are directly threatened by such fiends. However, there is a workaround. Characters like Eli who have a criminal background, or who have a particularly bad reputation with Patho-Gen or the government, will be allowed to supervise with another Augmented One present! This was negotiated heavily, and even then, some members of the govt/Patho-Gen don't care for this outcome. This is to say, Elijah could supervise... or, co-supervise. He is 100% required to have a supervisor to his supervising. How that supervisor supervises Eli is another question entirely. |
