So Kit was talkin' in chat and mentioned that he still had to find a home for two of the Basilards. I thought of In for a Bishan and the two statues (why I hadn't before who knows), and suggested that we might replace one of the statues with a Basilard. Kit came up with the idea to have the statues linked to the Basilard instead, to draw in the users...
(19:44:09) Kitan: I'm thinking maybe they were built specifically for the basilards
(19:48:08) Kitan: If they are Eyropan in make, they were carved much later than the basilards
(19:48:49) Kitan: Like I said, they did have a Eyropan scout helping them at one point. If he carved them, he might have made them a homing beacon of sorts.
(19:49:14) Kitan: Sort of gradually influencing the people who hold them in the Basilard's direction
(19:54:45) Kitan: My only concern right now is that it's so mundane to serve as a compass. XD Not creepy or eldritch at all!
(19:54:52) Saruna: so the things themselves draw people to hold them, and the longer they're held the stronger the compulsion to find the basilard, and the better directed?
(19:55:08) Kitan: Yeah, probably
(19:55:21) Saruna: it could sorta act as the initial softening of the mind, preparing it to receive the basilard's presence
(19:55:30) Kitan: Ooooooh
(19:55:47) Kitan: Yeah, that's awesome
(19:56:27) (Semi-AFK Sertor): That is indeed awesome
(19:56:42) Kitan: Okay, we'll roll with that
(19:56:59) Kitan: Haha, maybe the boy could even become a semi-permenant host
(19:57:09) Kitan: Super creepy
(19:57:48) Kitan: Or the Jester, if you want Iarei to keep the boy
(19:57:58) Saruna: nah, boy is open for use
(19:58:01) Saruna: both of them are
(19:58:05) Kitan: Nyahaha
(19:58:06) Saruna: maybe they could become a dual host?
(19:58:10) Saruna: that could be creepy
(19:58:14) Kitan: Eh
(19:58:24) Kitan: The basilard could almost certainly not control two people at once
(19:58:30) Kitan: Even with mental softening
(19:59:02) Kitan: But either one, maybe.
(19:59:07) Saruna: hmm, so what happens when two different people each hold a figure?
(19:59:14) Saruna: they won't want to let it go
(19:59:22) Kitan: They are both guided to the Basilard
(19:59:27) Saruna: become a brainless follower?
(19:59:35) Saruna: like not even doing anything
(19:59:41) Kitan: Maybe?
(19:59:44) Saruna: just sorta. . .following like a zombie
(19:59:51) Kitan: Yeah... that could work
(20:00:09) Kitan: A possessed boy with a braindead jester following him around
(20:00:16) Saruna: heheheh
(20:00:27) Kitan: That sounds really really creepy and awesome
(20:00:27) Saruna: maybe he could have her do tricks when he gets bored?
(20:00:38) Kitan: Oh that is great XD
(20:00:39) Saruna: except she'd be really lame at them now
