You suppose it's possible but one's role is not only determined by their own beliefs, especially a faith based role like a shrine maiden's or a god's. Such roles rely more on how they're perceived in the eyes of others, specifically those who believe in them and provide them with faith. You'd have to reverse every last person's perception and memories of you and the shrine maiden to accomplish such a feat. --- Quote from: Kilgamayan on December 07, 2020, 05:27:17 AM ---> How does the shrine maiden look, in comparison to us?

The only visible similarity you can think of it that you both have red eyes. > Continuing from your previous thoughts of switching sizes with Shinmyoumaru you think of how difficult it would be to completely switch bodies with the Hakurei maiden. There's a few major issues that immediately come to mind though. Unlike Shinmyoumaru who desires such a switch and would assist in the process, the shrine maiden would unlikely be consenting and instead be putting up magical resistance or more likely just fighting you. Furthermore instead of swapping just one aspect of your physical appearance you'd be trying to swap every last difference between you, with every aspect requiring considerable amounts of energy. Lastly for you to gain the Hakurei's powers you'd have to switch your abilities with hers, bringing up the question of what would happen afterwards, as nothing would prevent the shrine maiden from reversing the process, now having gained your powers. > In a hypothetical situation with her assistance you believe you could certainly pull off the acting part, thus possibly granting you her faith. The question is how convincing would she be acting as you? |

> Hmm...maybe she could be bribed into going along with it. We still have a lot of her stuff, and could return anything of hers to her that we don't particularly need. And if magical energy is a problem, she could probably provide a lot more... > How close do we need to be to a target that we're going to invert? > Who is running this contest, anyway? > Finish ascending the stairs and make our way to the shrine proper. Is anyone visible outside? |

In a best case scenario you can invert anything within Spell Card range. In a worst case scenario you have to be physically in contact with the target. --- Quote from: Kilgamayan on December 07, 2020, 03:43:53 PM ---> Who is running this contest, anyway? --- End quote --- > No clue! You only just got here and saw it in the paper. Your gut is telling you you'll find out soon enough though... --- Quote from: Kilgamayan on December 07, 2020, 03:43:53 PM ---> Finish ascending the stairs and make our way to the shrine proper. Is anyone visible outside? --- End quote --- > You ascend the last steps and find yourself at the Hakurei Shrine Front Yard. > Hakurei Shrine Front Yard: > A long stone path starting from the bottom of the hill ends at the Hakurei Shrine after passing through its Shrine Gate. In front of the shrine lies the infamous Donation Box atop of a small elevated porch with a small candle lantern hanging above it shining dimly. Several stone lanterns line the sides of the path and continue around the building. A small warehouse is located to the left and what appears to be a miniature version of the shrine is located on the right. Some tables and chairs have been moved out to the front yard, likely due to the festivities. > Considering everything looks disorganized you conclude that you've arrived early and they're still setting everything up. You spot the shrine maiden setting up some of the tables, an oni carrying several bottles out from the warehouse and the witch inspecting something next to the donation box. > Noticeable paths: Hakurei Shrine 1F [E], Hakurei Shrine Warehouse [NE], Hakurei Shrine Back Yard [E] |

> Inventory > How common is the knowledge that the shrine maiden was robbed of all her valuables? > Approach the shrine maiden. Look pensive and mildly nervous with both our facial expression and our body language; if it looks like we're up to something immediately, the others might figure us out before we win this contest. |
