[quote=@Lewascan2] I’m pretty sure that when all the party members received their “dream training” that they forget about until the isekai kicks off, they already have some of their abilities but are unaware of it. So, Ciel would probably have made her pact in that time-frame. Assuming that’s what our lovely GM goes for as the explanation for why all the PCs have a minimum of preexisting sudden competence in their abilities.[/quote] I was also thinking that the pact would have been established in the dream training as well, [I]but[/I] Ciel wouldn't have accepted it right away. Self-doubt, hearing that she has to break up with Bart, and the fact that it was a dream would all have been reasons why she wouldn't have accepted the pact right away. That way, she could commit to the pact in the new world and have a cool scene somewhat like the Awakening scenes in the Persona 5 game. [quote=@Lewascan2]Malcer, being the RPG nerd he is, would probably be the most likely to identify Bart’s race. Since Daniel perhaps isn’t as into RPs as him, and Ciel probably is super rusty from being isolated for years. [/quote] Oh yeah, she would be more than just rusty. I was thinking that Malcer was the one who introduced her to Tabletop RPGs. She's played video games before, but her main thing in the real world was reading books and studying.
