Double Trouble

After a lo~~ng absence, Pasifika returned to adventuring, and everything had changed. The first strange thing she studied was this new "Trust magic". The Tarutaru explained it, kind of, and then sent Pasifika on a quest to gather "ciphers" from people participating in the program. It sounded a bit odd, but don't most quest...

Whatever it is, if it can duplicate Tarutarus, it can't be that bad, right?

 

I suppose there might be some complications when cloning royalty or other prominent figures...

Which one of you is first in line for succession, then?

Or infamous thieves....

You just want an alibi, is that it?

And....

Shantotto. 

Enough said.

All others joined Pasifika because they share a history with her, and she was able to think very warm and trusting thoughts about them, but Shantotto... she has her own ways. Ways which are very very dangerous (to others, not to herself, of course). I suppose she had to come up with something of her own, since "warmth" in connection with Shantotto means something like Flare to most people.

Even with Shantotto added to the mix, summoning these new fellows on the field was very interesting and a lot of fun. Romidiant didn't seem to mind, even though the newcomers were in Pasifika's party, while Romidiant has never been able to join the party at all.
