SWORD OF SMATTAS. CAN YOU NOT HEAR A WORLD CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE? WHEN WILL YOU DELIVER IT?

Hooray for Weekly Shonen Jump!

Also this is pretty neat. Is it possible for people to jump in as a wisp/god next round?

The only limits on who can attempt to god are the people who were gods last time can't be gods this time, and people who were gods the time before that get a -10 cooldown modifier to their 1d100 roll.

Wisping is always an option for nonGods but is being slightly tweaked next era.

Absolutely! You won't have bonus points to help your initial roll, but the highest you could be facing right now is... +8? On a d100 roll. Not too bad! Participation as a wisp builds up Points anyhow though.

But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.

First, we were free. Then, we were slaves to a Tyrant.

But first, we were free. That’s what sustained us while we worked down below in the mines. He worked us to death, you know - he wanted us to drain the Lakes so that he and his brood of monsters could pour over the land unchallenged, but if we all died first he was fine with that too. All because of some great sin our ancestors had committed - something to do with the Great Curse. He never told us why he did it - he just told us where to dig.

Then, the Goddess came. Capricious, alien, and wild. She gave us hope. She gave us powers. She sent us allies. She set us up against the Tyrant - and then she left! With the half-hearted whimsy of a spirit, She left us to fight him. We were like stalactites crashing against the floor - we struck sparks against his immensity, but we were shattered. We hid away as he hunted us until - miracle of miracles - the Surfacers descended into our hell and they KILLED HIM! We dared to hope - and then those two fools struck down one of the Surfacer Gods! I didn’t even watch the slaughter, didn’t stay to listen to the screams.

If I’ve learned anything in my life, it’s when to fold them and run.

-O-
I made for the surface. It was the process of days - I stopped periodially and scribbled on the wall with what was left of my stylus. Didn’t have the heart to work any Mangamancy, but I scribbled a chibi Deesix for old time’s sake. I couldn’t get the image of his crown falling and shattering out of my head. I threw my stylus to the ground, and it broke too. Everything breaks, eventually, and nothing can fix it.

-O-
I broke through into daylight - and saw a shadow standing over me.

I cringed in fear - pathetic - but my terror was unfounded. It was one of those strange creatures the Goddess had sent us; the Verre. Its ears twitched in what I recognized as confused amusement, then it pulled me up and out of the ground. It looked me over, then broke into a sprint towards the horizon, waving me to follow. It moved fast and effortlessly, and I couldn’t keep up. I didn’t care - that was the first real joy I’d seen in months. I would follow that smile anywhere.

-O-
It’s been nearly a year now. I’ve been travelling with the Sliverglass tribe, living as they live. It took them a while to really accept me - and even now they seem aloof, sometimes - but my friend, Murano, assures me that they’re “just like that” and that I shouldn’t take it seriously. In truth, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.

Another thing - these guys LOVE Mangamancy. They can’t get enough of it. It’s tough to get good quality Dicestone up here, but the Glass is top notch. My new stylus is more than enough to draw even on this crappy stone, and every day I have them asking me to draw something else. In exchange, I get basically free rein within their community. I can scarcely believe the freedom they’ve given me!

  • A Learn!
    They do so much so casually. They’re agile and clever and beautiful, and I’m so base and lame. I want to go and learn from them. They’ve assured me their Magic can be taught, but I have my doubts about that...
  • B Teach!
    They keep watching me perform Mangamancy - it’s very distracting. Glass-Shaping too, even though whatever skill I have in it is so second nature that I barely even think it’s worth mentioning! Even so, they want to learn! I… guess I could teach them?
  • C Heal!
    They’re fast and graceful, but they’re still so fragile - I can take a stone to the face with nary a groan that would shatter one of them. That’s a good example because that happened - I saw it. Their Milchemists can fix cracks and minor damage, but I bet I could… just…
  • D Encounter!
    A whisper one night told me someone wanted to speak to me. I didn’t see who said it, but then the Verre can be incredibly stealthy, if they want to be. I asked Murano about it, and she shook her head so hard I thought she might crack - she strongly suggests I stay away from the Pyrexalted, whoever they are.
  • E Search!
    I… haven’t seen any of the others. None. There’s got to be some others, somewhere. The Verre are completely willing to escort me if I’m nervous, but I’m not even sure where to look. Our Goddess’ last words were to spread among the other Peoples, so probably among them? [Which one?]

C. As you have been healed, taken from the depths and brought into a far happier life, so too should you heal in turn, helping the Verre become healthier.

B, ingratiate yourself to them, show them that you can be useful! If you're useful to them they won't turn on you. This is the healthy approach to relationships that you learned growing up.

e:A works for sniveling sycophancy too.

Vote this please. Medical manga are the best manga in part because they cover the horrible hot shitpile that the Japanese version of the AMA is in an accessible and less horribly soul killing way.
