#1 wiki | comment Topics: Edit question: edit versoul asked on Log - August 2026/Event FAQ at 2026-08-05 Answer date: 2026-08-06	If anti-gen members are talked to/interrogated (by someone with ruminantia lie-detection), will they confirm that they have no involvement in the katalyth incursion and attacks? Adding on to the answer about creating a dream bubble of the reconsciousness, verso can create light producing things from chroma, if he makes one in a dream bubble, will there be anything to see? if he uses perissodactyla shape-shifting to take on the form of what they are so afraid of/claim they were ignorant of, will that produce anything?	Anti-Gen members will be firm (if slightly shocked over the accusation) about having not placed any Katalyth, or attacked any Augmented. Their phrasing is particular, and technically true- that they, personally are doing neither of these things. ...Which is indeed very suspicious and not wholly honest. They know what's going on (if not all to the same degree); they're certainly involved with it, but they're still really focused on Patho-Gen being the true culprit. If it weren't for Patho-Gen, none of this would be happening. Anti-Gen themselves won't admit to anything, even if attacked. (Nor will they turn hostile, but will defend themselves/try to talk any aggressor into leaving.) They'll reiterate that they want what's best for Karteria and the Augmented. That is still true, by whatever personal definition they're using. As for Perissodactyla shape-shifting inside the patient dreams... it's hard to give what they're afraid of a concrete shape. It's something disease-ridden and destitute; it's years of being underground, starving and furious and blind; it's being observed from every angle, cut apart and pieced back together, thoughts joined with a myriad of other voices; it's feeding blood to a wolf and knowing that it will obey you hereafter; it's to see everything that was done to lead to this point, and to know that it's hopeless. That it was hopeless centuries ago, and they're just now catching up. Being that this is what the patients are presently experiencing, they won't react to having more of it inside the dream bubble.

It can be both! Characters can be haunted by things they know they've done, and things that they are innocent of but believe otherwise. (As an extra note, they can also be accused of real things they don't remember doing.)
#3 wiki | comment Topics: Edit question: edit yesdoubt asked on Log - August 2026/Event FAQ at 2026-08-06 Answer date: 2026-08-06	This one just occurred to me, but - given Fungi souls are stated to be good at absorbing arcane radiation, while Momo is trying to investigate the culprits behind the Katalyth drops could he theoretically also take advantage of this ability to lower the lingering radiation levels in areas the Katalyth was planted by at least a little bit, since the source would've been removed? Also throwing this on here as well - aside from fungi shenanigans, would Momo's sleep dust (which induces dreamless sleep specifically unless he throws his spores in with it) have any appreciable effect on the state of the reawakened meat patients? Likewise, would a positive fungi-induced fever dream provide any reprieve? Edited 2026-08-06 02:00 am (local)	Given that Fungi are fantastic at radiation absorption, Momo could do a lot for the local environment just by virtue of his presence. With the Katalyth not having been there for very long, he could return things to near-normal. (This will naturally be less effective if Katalyth is deposited somewhere and not noticed for a time. There's only so much one Fungi-network can do....) And his dreamless sleep dust would work to put the meat patients back under. Whenever they wake up, they'll be back to their old nightmare... but their unconscious state would be peaceful and empty, at least. And they'll be physically healthier for being able to sleep without disruption, even if it is unable to fix their mental state. The fungi-spores are... differently effective. They definitely work, but without his direction, the fever dream will only amplify the madness they're already experiencing. A horrifically bad trip, something that's already broken made to find new angles to bleed by. Momo can still control it, however (though it's a bit harder in this case than usual), in which case it'll be more like his wingdust- in that it'll help them for the duration, before reverting to their prior, maddened state.
#4 wiki | comment Topics: Edit question: edit alogos asked on Log - August 2026/Event FAQ at 2026-08-05 Answer date: 2026-08-05	Preemptive FAQ	The attacks on Augmented Ones... are they any different if my character is currently a child? Augmented who are visibly children are less likely to be harassed in the street. It's not a good look to be bullying a child, is it, even if they grow up to be an asshole. It can still happen, but it's not as common. The same goes for attacks at night, actually, in that they're both less frequent, and far less likely to be violent—so it's not just about avoiding the public's judgement. Whoever's organizing this has some scruples. For the age regression, can I mix and match the effects? You can use as much or as little as you like. Characters can be de-aged with the adult traits of their Natural Soul(s), and they can be their normal selves with younger souls. They can be affected by both at once! There's more than one point in time that I would like my character to return to. Characters can revisit as many points on their timeline as you'd like them to. Can make a real trip of it.... If my character is aging down, how much do they remember about being in Karteria? This is also ultimately entirely up to the player. It defaults to a kind of general fuzziness—so characters can at least still know why they're in a strange place, and have an idea of what's been going on. But their experiences can be as clear or muddled as is convenient. While other Natural Souls have an immature form, what uh about Spectrals? A fresh ghost rather than an aged one... since Spectral inspirations can be so varied, this is also left to player imagination. Is a younger iteration more or less resentful, does their ire take a different focus, are they less good at lying...?
