Spoiler: aa (click to show/hide)

Follow my link with Hugh back to the village. Relink my needle with anybody who agrees to try my plan. Trade left gloves with Hugh.

In the morning I'll proceed down the path a little ahead of the others, with my needle up my sleeve and using my robes to appear as some normal defenseless girl, as bait to lure out our prey. There's no telling whether the... nature of the rumors about Greenveil are true, but if they are it would prove beneficial to the bait to appear as someone conventionally attractive.

As I walk down the path, make sure my right palm is facing backwards and every few steps close my right eye to check if something is sneaking up behind me.

Can I still hear people trying to contact me through my needle if it's stowed up my sleeve, and can I still see through my glove-eyes if I'm using my robe to disguise myself? If I wear my own glove on one hand but a glove belonging to another homunculus on my other, can I still create a shield by crossing my arms, or do the gloves used have to belong to the same set?

((I’ve updated my previous post to have Hugh relink with Aa (honestly, I just thought she would walk back…).))

"From what I heard if we travel the path we'll eventually come across the town, so I say we follow the trail and stop by."

"If Aa wants to walk in front of us, I have no objections. Though maybe we should all take guises as villagers? We'd look more like a search party instead of dangerous agents of the Magi."

"I'll take fourth watch."


Grey swaps gloves with Genesis and breaks his link with Luta, forming a new one with Aa. Grey randomly picks one of the men around the village and shapeshifts so that his face and robe matches their appearance. I assume they'll agree to this, because they wouldn't want to disagree would they?

After sleeping and taking fourth watch Grey hides his needle in his robe, hopefully not breaking anything with its anti-magic properties. He then travels the forest path with the group, with Aa and Genesis some distance ahead, periodically looking through the gloves he gave Genesis to be sure that they're still upright and walking forwards.

"I suppose that makes sense. tuck your needles into your sleeves and those of you with physical oddities might want to stay toward the back or something. Maybe we pair up or something and go at intervals."

"We'll want some inconspicuous method of keeping an eye on each other in that case, or keep an eye on Aa at least, in case of some sort of instant incapacitation hazard. Perhaps we should swap gloves?"

Ho! Ho! Ho!  That sounds like a grand plan!  I’ll take first watch, but first I want to try something.”, Hugh responds.

((I’ll add Hugh’s additional actions to my other post.))

"Swapping gloves sounds like a good idea. I'll go ahead with the new kid. Here, Grey, swap with me."

"those of you with physical oddities might want to stay toward the back or something."
"I feel this statement is mostly geared towards me and the new person, and I for one do not see myself as odd."

Take whichever position in the watch is available and stay with the group when we head out in the morning.

"I don't have a better term for it. Oh, someone please check regularly through their needle for signs of magic in the forest. If I'm going to be bait I can't exactly be pulling out my needle every few minutes to stare around."

"Okay, good idea. Who would like to trade gloves with me and keep an eye out?"

Ho! Ho! Ho!  I’ll be glad to trade gloves with you, little one, provided they’ll fit us!  Otherwise, We’ll both have to find someone else.  Hopefully, they’ll fit, though…”, Hugh smiles at Aa.

"Hmm, perhaps we could trade only one side? Keeping my own glove might be useful to watch my own back. In a way that doesn't look like watching my back."

Hugh raises a quizzical eyebrow.
