Is Dreamwalking a form of clairvoyance? Arthur said in the dream "To end up where you want, to see what you want, to glimpse into the future or past". Does this mean he had some amount of clairvoyant ability? Maybe taking control of a future incarnation or your current incarnation in the future?

Pretty sure that you can already trigger a variation of this conversation with Merlin in the game. Clairvoyance runs in Arthur's family (his mother's side due to their fae blood), but he has none himself, which means he isn't bound by any of the shenanigans inherent with being a clairvoyant.

But guess what happens if you barge into the dreams of a clairvoyant?

what are 404s pronouns

also you are cool have another unpoisoned cookie

🍪

That would be telling. No hints for 4̷0̸4̷ ̸E̷r̶r̶o̷r̵ ̸N̸o̵t̴ ̵F̸o̷u̷n̶d̷ until they make their dramatic appearance. Although, it's not hard to presume that 404 falls in with the "doesn't give a damn about your human pronouns" along with Merlin.

Most Virginal

Percy (even in thought) ↓ Adrian (yeaah, not so much in thought)

Percy: baby boy, pure of heart (dumb of ass?)

Adrian: sad and horny (dumb of ass!)

As suggested by the Greater Circle and voted on by the Greater/Lesser Circle tiers, it's the April Question & Answer session coming in at 2574 words. Alas, our extra special guest stars from our last session are conspicuously absent this time.

Merlin, Arthur, and Gwen sit at the center of the stage, with Vivian's fountain looming ominously in the background once more. Everyone's eyes are riveted upon a certain seat that has been left empty within the spotlight.

Merlin: By the blessed gods, he didn't receive a question this time. Tis a miracle! An overcoming of fated karma!

Vivian: Nigh anything can be bargained for the proper price.

Arthur: *somewhat bemused* Finally… he is free.

Gwen: *slowly scooting closer to Arthur* T-that's a good thing, right? Adrian didn't seem very happy to be on stage the last couple of times!

Broderick: *off-stage* Who the hell would want to be on-stage anyway?!

Gwen: *giggles & still scooting* I do! Especially if there are certain others on stage too!

Percy: *off-stage* Like Audrey III?

Gwen: 😣

Merlin: What say the man of the hour to this new development, then?

Silence: . . . .

Arthur: *hiding a faint smile behind his hand* Ah. Fully free then.

Merlin: Is he even back there with the rest of you?

Percy: *off-stage* Nope. Not back here.

Cassandra: *off-stage, muttering and scribbling sounds are heard*

Broderick: *off-stage* Waitaminute, we can ditch the backstage too?

Merlin: ADRIAN BENONI HAS LEFT THE BUILDING. I REPEAT, ADRIAN BENONI HAS LEFT THE BUILDING AND IS CURRENTLY AT LARGE.

Silence: . . . .

Lorelei: *off-stage, scoffing* No wonder he left.

Merlin: Oh. He's really not here this time, is he? Well, good for him! Fare thee well, Adrian. May the winds be at your back and may certain MCs who are probably chasing you down this very moment never catch you.

Miracles truly do happen. Meanwhile, the Camelot people display exactly how well they get along amongst each other. April's Q & A session stars Merlin, Vivian, Arthur, Gwen, and 4̷0̷4̶ ̷E̸r̸r̷o̵r̶ ̶N̸o̸t̶ ̷F̸o̴u̷n̷d̵ (much to some people's chagrin when it comes to the latter).

Now available on my Patreon.

Wait question, how do you get crush mc with Adrian? sorry it js popped up in my head after reading an earlier post ^^;

That's the option when you choose to be attracted to Adrian from the very beginning (during that scene at the start of the club meeting where you select your background with him).

Either the really obvious horny one or the more subtle not acting on their feelings version will trigger it.

Then you can also trigger it later on when you re-evaluate your relationship with him at the end of Chapter 1 (or the beginning of Chapter 2 if the MC gets kidnapped). It's also one of the things that appears in the Free Time Hub as well.

Basically, (a_bond = 1)

The secretly smug mention got me curious. How much is Gwen’s embarrassment/shyness real and how much of it is performative (・・?) (in that they aren’t as flustered as they’re acting or they’re secretly feeling something else)

You're going to have to wait until the end of the first game at minimum before you get any peeks at the other's two-faced variables (including Gwen).

After all, one of the main reasons I let the MC act that way in their personality stats is because other Harbingers/ROs are doing the same thing too.

[oneknightstand-if]

Adrian says you need better hopes & dreams, take it from the guy lying in the wreckage of his own.

[oneknightstand-if]

Man, Based on the Asks, I'm absolutely going for Merlin and Cassandra. Don't know how dangerous that's gonna be.

More dangerous than some, less dangerous than others. Probably. Assuming neither of them is the actual saboteur. Also, the nonhumans tend to be more dangerous than the humans since normal humans usually can't eat souls & such.

Merlin: (❀◦‿◦) You accidentally eat a person once in a while and never hear the last of it.

[oneknightstand-if]

Is there anything you're excited to write about? Like any characters or events?

Not really. I'm excited to write the epilogue because that means it's over! The fun part here is the imagining part, which is long done before the writing & coding part (which is the pain-in-the-ass part).

Seeing everyone's reactions to the reveals of the various secrets should be fun too (the saboteur & everyone's previous incarnations in game 1). Especially the big thing that happens at the end of game 3.

[oneknightstand-if]

does adrian automatically know about the mcs past? if not can we dramatically reveal it to him at some point

If you're friends or ("friends") with Adrian from the beginning than he knows the MC's normal childhood stuff (abandoned, abused, accident, amnesia etc) the same way that particular MC knows that Adrian ran away from home as a young teen.

Adrian supposedly doesn't know MC's deep dark secret, however, same way MC supposedly doesn't know whatever Adrian's keeping secret either.

And, don't worry, there will be ample opportunities for the secrets to come out, whether someone wants it or not.

[oneknightstand-if]

Hope their routes ends up being suitably divergent for your tastes!

Hi, this may be a stupid question but how does everyone know about the other ROs? So far I've only met Adrian, Merlin and Percy (briefly). But I keep seeing asks with all these other names that I haven't come across in the demo yet and I'm wondering if I've missed something. I'm autistic so sometimes I do miss routes because I'm so in the head of the MC I'm currently playing as and too anxious to ask in case I look like an oblivious idiot lol

So again, sorry if this was obvious and I've just missed it.

The other ROs are introduced/advertised in the masterpost (make sure you click the Read More link at the bottom), have a lot of info floating around in their character tags on the blog (also shown on the masterpost), and appear in the side material on my Patreon.

Only Arthur, Adrian, Merlin, and Percy have been properly introduced in the game itself and depending upon the route you took during the first Camelot dream sequence, you might've missed Arthur entirely outside of his appearance in the nightmare prologue.

So how long have you been Arthurian fan?

Since I was a kid (decades ago), I was reading the kiddie illustrated versions of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. (1, 2, 3)

[oneknightstand-if]

If it's not too spoilery, can I ask what's up with all the bird comments Cuckoo mc makes at the warehouse? Just feel like I'm not in on some inside references here...

You're going to have to be a bit more detailed here, Anon. It should be Wildlife Biologist MC getting all the extra animal details throughout the game. Also, there'll be more animal sightings in general if you're hanging around Percy.

[oneknightstand-if]

Even 404 is running from that dragon MC ask? That pussy

Okay, 4̷0̸4̷ ̸E̷r̶r̶o̷r̵ ̸N̸o̵t̴ ̵F̸o̷u̷n̶d̷ is probably crazy enough to still be trying to kill the dragon. Everyone else though...
