@spiderlegs: Don't worry, Marie will make sure you don't drown too many people.

Oh, good--he really does have trouble with that, and people do get so upset when they find out the lifeguard goes about drowning folks.

[Dark Angel]

Yeah, I suppose it wouldn't be very good for reputation to find out the person who is supposed to be saving people is actually drowning them.

[Leotamer]

Something tells me that my character would just find it funny.

[Invader Len]

Yeah, I'm gone for a couple of hours and suddenly people are drowning everywhere(apparently). Most confused supervillain ever. Like, do I even need to try, or will everybody destroy themselves first XD

Mattis would be upset. He's been trying so hard not to drown anyone!

Yes, it would be bit of a black mark, wouldn't it? A career-changer, even!

[Leotamer]

To be fair, my character also can turn into a fish gulp gulp.

You might make an appearance, for appearances' sake? In fact, you could make an excellent red-herring if this turned Agathe Christie on us. Or, if it takes a Shakespearian twist, you could show up like Fortinbras at the end of Hamlet, shake your head and inherit Primrose. Give up supervillain-ing. Become a landlord. Discover the meaning of True Evil. And so forth. XP

To be fair, I'm not totally sure that drowning would kill any of Primrose's residents. The threat is more in revealing Mattis's secret.

[Dark Angel]

Yeah, not the best thing to find out one of your members of staff like to drown people, whether the aforementioned people die or not. I know I wouldn't use the pool after I heard that.

Don't let her inherit it. knowing Len, Jaki would turn it into a bouncy house of evil or something.

[Invader Len]

Well, it might kill Jaki, but as she isn't a resident, I dunno if she counts.

@Spiderlegs ... That sounds... Wonderful. Jaki be all like "BWAHAHA, Behold, TRUE evil, opportunistic capitalism!!" And then she lures in half Yokai to the residence and drinks piña coladas as they kill each other/themselves, cuz hey, quality entertainment.

If everyone starts drowning each other, Capello is joining your team.

[Leviathan]

alright. my posts are finished for the night.

off to focus on my 1x1 partner whom I've been unintentionally neglecting.

EDIT: everyone needs to settle down.

no one is drowning...yet.

XD

[Spawnling]

Christ on a stick, writing for Capello is confusing.

"Capello A does this, while Capello B does this, but Capello C, who is over there, was doing this, and then A did-"

Also fine tuning his personality. And of course, getting all those sweet nicknames out to all you lovelies.

[Leotamer]

Also, his illusions effect other senses like touch and smell?

Smell, no. Hence why he

spoilers

carries cinnamon sticks to mask his scent, cinnamon is overpowering and easily spread around to make his location harder to detect.

I think he could probably make someone THINK they're feeling something subtle, if they expect a sensation, they'll get a sensation, but trying to grab his illusions would reveal them easily enough. They can't harm you, but they'll play off your reactions and instincts *something moving rapidly at you just as you turn, you're going to react to it as if it's a real threat, despite what it may actually be* If you're grabbing him, and he suddenly ignites on fire or has metal spikes shoot out over his body, it would take a lot of mental discipline to ignore it and not reflexively let go of him to prevent injury, giving him a chance to escape and set up more illusions.

In short, he could make you think you felt him brush by, think you felt his breath on you, but it's mind games. The only senses he affects are vision and hearing.

Combat wise, generally speaking, he's always hitting your back or exposed areas while you're focused on whatever illusions he's using against you. Hence why if anyone can see through the illusions or break them, he's screwed.

Does that clarify?

[Dark Angel]

Gin is so confused about Capello right now. She's just like'Wait, I can see him, but I can't. Is it because of the sun? Is he even real, or is he just a figment of my imagination?!'
It's going to be even more confusing when he comes in again. Poor Gin, so many confusing Capellos.

[Spawnling]

Poor Gin! Two Capellos for the Little Flower to wrap her head around.

If it helps, I will generally TRY to make it obvious for YOU the players whether or not you're dealing with the REAL Capello, if only to avoid moments where you're unsure if your slap/hug/nudge/bump/grab/kiss actually makes contact or if you fall onto the floor. I trust you guys won't use that as in game knowledge that your character wouldn't know, so it shouldn't be a problem. Though sometimes I'll keep it up in the air just to screw with ya.

General rule of thumb: If he's touching you, he's probably real. Probably. But maybe not. Could just be poking you with a stick from afar.

[Dark Angel]

@Spawnling: You don't have to, since he's your character obviously. I just think that it's be funny and cute to see people extremely confused. Including Gin.

Nuu, not the stick!

[Leotamer]

I now have a really funny scene in my head if Andrew and Capello ever does get in a fight.
