Hey, what's our evidence that Riltia is the one actively screwing with the narrative, again? I know she's been shifty in general, but the specific evidence (From raw unaltered (as best we can tell) pictures of the party and its situations) is pretty important to my theory, and a possible second idea germinating.

Interesting theory. If only we could switch the Influx to Slog. But we can't, because he's Illborn.

(Someone's been reading Alloy of Law.)


The only sensible course of action here is to make Slog kill Rilitia, absorb her soul charge, and become the main character. Afterwards, we must hide the Astral Influx so as to ensure Slog will forever hold the narrative in his blue, gooey fist.

That's visibly not one of Ciro's puppets though: no hand space, no vomitinducingly poor craftsmanship... It's just Slog. Plus I'm pretty sure Ciro herself doesn't know about Riltia.

A second idea I'm considering, by the way, is that while Riltia is being super shady and is at least INVOLVED with the narrative shenanigannery, she might not be the one directly screwing with things... and whatever is is out to pin it on Riltia and get us to get rid of her. I don't have evidence for it, but it's worth thinking out as a branch of my theory.

I'm not entirely sure Riltia is going to give reliable answers, but it's better than nothing I guess.

Knowing what she isn't willing to reveal is almost as important as learning what she will!

Just that the narrative has only been actively screwed with since we switched to Riltia, at the same time she said "No, wait!" Whether the screwing is because Riltia is hiding things from us, or because Riltia is being controlled by something else that wants to hide things from us, or because Riltia is being controlled by something else that wants to hide things from her, or because Riltia knows she is compromised and is trying to subtly clue us into that fact are all points open for debate.

I think Riltia knowing she's compromised (or being framed) would go a long way towards explaining why there are narrative alterations in there that wouldn't fool a blind 4-year old, like the MSPaintery

since we switched to Riltia... Riltia is being controlled by something else that wants to hide things from us
But... Doesn't switching to people grant you control over them?

She's been pretty smart on multiple occasions... plus this is beyond dumb, this is actively self-incriminating.

But... Doesn't switching to people grant you control over them?
No. It lets us guide them, but if they know what's going on they can disobey. Al has done this before. Even ranted at us.

Depends on how receptive they are. Ciro is the most receptive, Al is kinda skeptical and Rilitia is... well, yep.

Correct. Also...

Switch spirit class back to Plot Manipulator. Overpowered Mistborn doesn't have as much potential for shenanigans.
