It’s important to look good in front of anyone, no matter the number. And you have to keep being unpredictable, so you can’t use your favorite. In that case, you’re going to use this color!
“I think red is good.” You casually cross your arms. It’s a good protagonist color, fits underdogs too. If you have to take the world by storm, you gotta believe it until you fake it. Wait, that sounds wrong.
“Red is perfect.” Philonune likes it, despite never voicing it before.
“Red is really cool!” Constance loves this selection.
“See? Plenty easy.” Solomon cannot help himself and remarks this to the Judge’s face.
“Rejoice, everyone, because red it’ll be.” Athelone is pleased to move forward with this. “Now, allow me a moment to concentrate.”
Again, Athelone brings out her spellbook, energy beams flow through it towards Philonune who starts shining as the color slider of life starts turning him into his new shade of red! Woah! After a tiny explosion to accentuate the moment, <span class="mu-s">Philonune has officially turned red! And in the same vein, you’re the Red Flames! Hooray! </span>
After some polite clapping, Athelone explains the perks of your new powers. They’re more than what you recalled. In short, you can:
>Communicate telepathically with every member of your group. At any time, and any place.
>Transfer spiritual energy to one another by touching.
As to how to recruit members, you both need to be in agreement that recruitment is happening, then touch each other for a couple of seconds (Athelone recommends a handshake.) All very similar to transferring spiritual energy. That’s all the notes! For now!
Why for now? Because Athelone wants you to recruit members first before explaining. It appears these different perks won’t work until you have a decent amount of members.
With that out of the way, it’s time to say goodbye for now! You have to meet the Calamities!
“Thanks, Johnny…” Constance hugs you before departing, which you embrace her back. You don’t recall ever doing this before, so it feels special. Athelone wanted to make a snide remark but decided to only pat your head for the good work, what a hug wrecker. “Um, I might call you during your sleep, Johnny…”
“That’s no problem.” You smile back.
“Pick them wisely, son.” Mr. Strangelove gives you a firm handshake after the hug subsides. “But remember, sharing colors or not, I’ll be rooting for you.”
“Thank you, I’ll see you soon, you two.” You part ways!
Outside of the room, you ask Philonune how he feels.
“It’s a one-of-a-kind sensation, partner. I’m glad we share emotions.” Philonune loves not having to explain this shit. It doesn’t feel any different, but it pumps you up. You have an ability only a few flames have! The Judges, the White Flames, and Chernobog… That’s everyone so far! Does it mean you’re one of the biggest deals? No need to get cocky though.
