Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
and how that works
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
like, iirc there's something like you just technically always have it on you or something...?
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
obv au alan would not have anything since regular alan is not pledged so he'd be like
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ

Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
AU alan praying to fog god like "mom where is my key? did you take it away? why??" and she's just like

That's a whole lotta player discretion, I think.
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
ah okay, i wasn't sure if there was like
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
set rules and key physics
Meow Knight
Like, for example, 'Jake' (Steven's Fog form alter) pledged to the Fog, but Steven doesn't actually know about this, so 'Jake' has a key and Steven just.... doesn't. And idk whether 'Jake' hid it somewhere or whether it just disappears when Steven takes the body again, because it could go either way.

It's one of those things that's like... The moment we set rules for it, players are limited in what they can do. So we'd rather not.

that's fair

Yeah I treated the key as a physical object Harry was carrying then he hit priest and now I imagine he can kind of just summon it as needed

he usually carried it in a lanyard around his neck ffggg, he did NOT want to be sorting through his pockets when he needed a quick escape or to disappear a body
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
absolutely makes sense, esp like... if you have claws i feel like trying to rifle through pockets is worse
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
just no- no not that- no- n- not that- no,

That's why Horatio had like ... four sets of acrylic claw caps

He color coordinated them like a total dork

omg claw caps

When Tal played Nightwing, he told him about them and so he'd always refer people to this little place somewhere in Bavan that would do custom tips for people

I like to think it lives on ... hmm ... I smell a meme

I thought about this so much with Tarkin because so much of his mass was pointy little legs (he was a centipede) and he’s a fashion conscious guy who likes to be comfortable
