Worlds you want to glowfic

[Kappa]

I vaguely want to instantiate that one hypothetical Pact Joker...

[PlainDealingVillain]

Can implements be inherited in Pact? And would this require a passing-down ritual, or could you create an artifact-implement that did it spontaneously?

(I have ideas about an Arthur finding roughly-Excalibur and only understanding what he has significantly later.)

[Nemo]

An implement belongs to one person. It doesn't evaporate when they die or anything, so the object can be inherited, but the implementness ordinarily can't be. I don't want to say never because there aren't a lot of hard "no"s in this magic system. I can't think of a situation where there'd be a lot of benefit to the ritual if there is one? You could just hand them the sword when the last wielder dies.

An artifact that spontaneously becomes an implement...not a lot of things are outright impossible in Pact. But this would be going against an entire magical tradition where the implement is an individual choice. It's unlikely that anyone would try to make that, unlikely they'd succeed, and the universe would try to sweep it under the rug if they did.

Also, swords make questionable implements. It's announcing I INTEND TO FIGHT THINGS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, which is a bit impolitic. (This is common knowledge, so Arthur might know it.)

Excalibur is probably already magic, though, and its scabbard definitely is. Arthur would have plenty of reason to pick it up and take it home without knowing it's the Excalibur, whether or not there are implement shenanigans going on.

Ooooh Kyrian is neat!

I kind of want to propose a Box Of Assorted Serial Killers featuring Kyrian, Spider, Bonesaw, and pastlife!Sara from her original setting.

Buuuuuuuut four-person boxes sound complicated.

[Ezra]

I think the simplest kind of four-person box is the kind where two characters talk in Milliways, then one of them leaves and the third comes in, and so forth.

Who here thinks they could do Unsong?

Aether and Unsong: "Oh. Your world makes sense now."
Promise and Unsong: "So your God has these Names, and that one unknown one makes you omnipotent... do you know which one he had first?"
The admin and Unsong: "The system of the world is gradually decaying and will soon fall apart entirely. It's untidy."
Prime and Unsong: "Again? Because evacuating the universe and dealing with hordes of demons went so well last time."
Any Sherlock and Unsong: "Of course ritual magic doesn't work around me. It only does things that could pass for coincidence."
That one post-peal Butterfly and Unsong: *overthrows Hell with two tenners and a lot of casualties, because taking time for a better plan is completely unacceptable.*
Macalaure and Unsong: A singer is one who tries to do good.

[MaggieoftheOwls]

Macalaure and Unsong: A singer is one who tries to do good.

*shrieks incoherently*

[Alicorn]

I could probably do Unsong if I tried real hard and believed in myself, but I'd have a damn hard time not spoiling it.

[Kappa]

omfg i LOVE it

Yeah, I don't think I could do Unsong without dropping unintentional major spoilers. Ask again when the book's done.
