Web of Lies
AirTipos InterpersonalDescrição
Shika Kado felt his breath hitch in his throat. To his left was Akodo Hoshi, the man Kado had told to mistrust the Matsu family. To his right, Matsu Kagami, the woman Kado had encouraged to romance Akodo Hoshi. Kado had intended not to see them again, but here they were at the same wedding. His foot unconsciously tapped as he considered all of the possible excuses for leaving.
“Matchmaker!” Kagami grinned as she approached him. “Are you responsible for this happy union?”
“The Fortunes are. I just connected the threads,” Kado replied, unsure if he should force a smile. In his periphery, Kado was sure Hoshi was looking their way. “Unfortunately, I am feeling ill.”
“You do look pale.” “Yes.” Kado’s voice faltered. “I have no doubt I do.”
Efeitos
The following apply to a character with the Web of Lies anxiety:
You must be ever mindful of your elaborate, deceitful plots. You must know who was told what lie, which lies contradict each other, and what people are likely to say to one another. The more lies, the more intricate the web grows. One slip of the tongue could cause it all to implode, as you face a constant risk of contradicting yourself.
After performing a check to deceive someone you have deceived before (such as a Courtesy [Air] check to convince someone that you are a member of a clan when other clan members have never heard of you or a Skulduggery [Air] check to convince the victim of one of your previous cons that you didn’t mean to steal their money), you receive 3 strife. If this is the first time this has occurred this scene, gain 1 Void point.
