There's a whole lot of red moon / the Unforeseen fuel here, but all I've really got to say is: Nova's great! Maybe a contender for new best minor Oceanfalls character ever, even. I can't wait for her to bust into Prospy's moon palace and save the day with the power of horoscopes and fortune telling.

Oh, and also I think this thing from the notes I was taking while playing the game was pretty interesting: The Prosperous's painting in the cave references "the Unforeseen" but not "The Prosperous." That might imply that it was retconned from an earlier red / Unforeseen state, similar to the Unpleasant / Apologetic Note from earlier.

Also, the most Important Revelation of all: Nino's a tsundere for ice cream.

Oh, wait, geez, I just noticed something. Nino's reflection in the oasis pond isn't just him without Aria's illusion. He has the blue cape and weird, totally dark eyes. Is that what he actually looks like right now, with his red cape being illusion, or is it something else...?

Bleh. Missed a scene or two near the end. I have an annoying tendency to progress things by accident and miss decorative side-tracks.
Not sure if any of the unreadable things can be made readable.

A bit of embarrassing bluster there though.
Who claims to have knowledge of endless possibilities and infinite will (as though will was even meaningful, and why would you even need both...) and then has to threaten against interfering?
Someone feeling insecure.

My Answer:

Yes. The fallen guide may not know he is penned by another, but the one who used to receive his guidance is not beyond it either. Everything that happens is real to them.

... Nino:... no... the entire party... just wondering... or... hoping for that matter... do you... all know we're here, recommending you different actions? Or is it just...

To Nino: Try going Diplomancy next time you faint out like that. Clearly whatever has been going is some Datura that we need a fresh blue wood sorrell for. No plucked petals here, ok? (We also want some information out of this.)

To Aria: Keep the party together.

To Reed: Keep an eye on Nino, for us.

To Meimona (and Five): Remain the light of the group.

To... the other one... Blue Cape?: What exactly is... the ending you forsee. Spoil us. Because I

Ahem... actually...

To claim the right as the Early Bird who have sought for perfection.

That question is actually interesting... who I shall now call the... Narrator, perchance?

To be a pawn is to be expendable, and I do not see them in such a way.

As to the Amnesic One, we can now both say for certain that there is definitely more to him then meets the eye.

It is very clear that all have had their own minds separate from ours, as you said, mere suggestions.

The question I had direct to you whom I had wrongly assumed to be someone of less, what is the destiny.

With you as the Narrator implying that we may have some limits, I shall now try to lead us somewhere.

Reader: Forsee the obstacles the party we have followed must face.

My answer:

They can be seen as one. But, as long as the player plays their card right, or even have a good enough luck and fortune... Who knows, the game might even end before even one piece was taken by another.

Gugh... I'm tired of troubleshooting this wordpress login thingy. The captcha undoes itself every once in a while and clicks outta the window when you do so, the "login" button logs you into wordpress but not this webcomic's site, I think I might even have to download another browser to post this comment.

Anyway, in my personal opinion, I don't believe these fine folk to be "pawns". If they were, we wouldn't be watching them. The five we watch don't have any "king" they answer to (as a group) either. Besides, pawns aren't inherently diminutive or useless - promotion is a thing after all. Maybe I'm extending the chess metaphor too much, heh... I'm just a little upset, 'cause the world's just not as black and white as you seem to think. I mean, I'm sure Five's had contact with the kings of both sides of the... uh, middle? Worlds? The human and monster kings, I mean. Solis and Luna(?) too. Maybe I should rewind a little, my memory's almost as spotty as the green one's, hehe.

Whatever, I'm no wordsmith, the person I'm speaking to can't even hear me. I just wonder what's up with the dark-and-stormy burgundy-coated cellphone-toter :P
