In your mind you are trying to simply summon flares. Such a simple item... but the image does not come to you. (QM: You have never encountered or seen the object of flare ammunition in the game. Your ability is currently restricted to recalling instantly any pictured item presented so far. This includes items encountered by the Magus.)
Scarlett has turned away and has walked towards the crater where ObjectXIII had emerged, before you loaded it into the Silence with your mind. She is looking at the skull, the strange skull which belongs to you, the skull which followed you here from the Dead Land. You suddenly realise why in another life, another immortal felt the need to hide their face from all those around them. For Scarlett does not see a skull, but instead a phone, a phone with an autoplaying video of what you did...
What's this? Someone has dropped a phone here... but this is the motel Florence went to... do you know her? We needed a rite, a particular tattoo needle, an artist who was supposed to meet her there... but he never even showed up. Come to think of it, in this chaos I have forgotten about Florence. I should call and check on her...
>Well this is simple. Just give yourself the Ancient Rite: Skin Scribe and the tattoo machine that the Magus encountered... this must be what Scarlett wants. Surely she will follow you now, and introduce you to the Vourukasha? (QM: with a thought, you brought the spell Skin Scribe into the world. >>5123527 >>5123623 >>5123502 This is how your summoning ability works.)>You are suddenly realising why the Empty Path instintively called a gun into your hand. If Scarlett looks into your skull, the skull from The Dead Land, she is going to see your hand wielding the punch dagger, the hand that took the life of her friend. You have a feeling the skull is malevolent and cursed. Does it represent you? Is the skull what you truly chose? Shoot Scarlett in the head, before she sees the end of the autoplaying video...>Snatch the skull out of her hand. >The curse you unleashed upon this world ends only one way. Shoot the skull of The Dead Land with the world-ending power of Silence. Is that like shooting yourself in the head?>Do nothing. Let Scarlett watch the video to the end. She will know what you did.
