C) Since a good offense is the best defense.

"Power to atone for ones sins" is vague and could mean fixing the mistakes we've made, though that seems too strong. It also could have any number of abstract meanings or refer to a specific sin. Point is, it's pretty much the big unknown as far as ability choices go.

I vote E out of curiosity more than anything.

I was going to say D, since I'd say Becky has E covered. So far, we haven't encountered much physical threat outside of that thing on the roof, so I feel like D works the best.

But if nobody agrees, B always works, but I feel like C might be more useful than B.

dont take definitions too literally...
power to "defend" dont literally mean a defensive ability... and power to "destroy" dont literally mean an offensive ability...

...and ironic at the same time...

Do you wish to lear the "truth"... about yourself... or you will you choose to remain in blissful ignorance... and be rewarded...

A)Learn the truth...(regain memory fragment)
B)...remain in the dark (obtain more powerfull phantasm)

what will it be...

>>573245
B. This place is so full of paradoxes that whatever you were before may mean absolutely nothing now, anyway.

B. Ignorance is bliss after all.

A. Knowledge is power.

>>573245
This is a really tough one. I'm really tempted to say B, but then again lore is a very valuable thing.
I think I'm going to have to go with A.

B. Power is power.

B) Forge your own history.

>>573245
B. Let us relieve ourselves of the burdens of the past and strive to be a better man in the present.

B If we must learn of our past then it will find a way to remind us one way or another so lets focus on the now and do what we can to get out of here

Unless the memory includes a name, go with B. The only memory you want back is your name.

Memories? You've got plenty of memories right now! You've got memories of this place, Becky, crazy adventures, dead rats, and overpriced snack machines!

Fuck the past, choose B.

B, we need to survive and protect our friends no matter the cost. If giving up the truth could help us prevent what happened to this worlds Becky happen to anyone else we care about then so be it!

B.

If we're trying to be a protector, we're better of embracing that then focusing on a past where obviously we didn't live up to that ideal.

The knowledge of your shortcoming is sufficient. We don't need to make a sacrifice for the specifics.

I vote A but it looks like B will win. No backstory for no-name :(

You chooses to remain in the dark in regards of your past... in exchange for greater power...

Your phantasm has powers of:
1)"stop n swop"- ability to switch places of two objects with similat size and mass or two people. (objects and people must be in sight)
2)"plagiarius"- ability to steal other phantasms powers for a single use. (can hold 3 at max)

+BONUS ABILITY.

3)"doors"- ability to summon phantasms from other dimensions through physical objects. (use with precaution...)

Now before you leave it would be fitting to give "it" a name.

>>573332
Helter-Skelter

>>573336
I was going to suggest one of my own, but that sounds amazing. And it fits in with our classic rock theme!

>>573336
...we are kind of all over the place. And our phantasm's power is about moving objects / people / powers / phantasms around.

Appropriate.

Helter-Skelter shall be his name.

1)"stop n swop"
It sounds the most reliable. Two is limited to 1 use so we can run out, and it looks like 3 can have bad side effects.

>>573341
I think it means when we steal a phantasm's power we can use it once and then we have to steal it again or get a different one, plus we can keep a stock of three so it sounds really good for having a variety of useful powers.

Peek outside the door, see if Becky's still there.

If not, investigate room. (What are the things hanging up, in the drawers, and under the bed). If possible, Helter-Skelter should borrow Sweet Child's ability to check the area for plot points (so we can figure out what happened).

Right. Search the room, then.

What's the black cloth on the hook? Does it have pockets / anything in those pockets? What's hanging next to it? A necklace, an amulet? Is there anything in those drawers? What about that thing under the bed? If you get up on the bed, can you pop that vent open (can you use your phantasm to do the same)? Is there anything in there?

One is a snazzy black jacket the other some kind of pendant made of a silver dollar with hole in the middle.

Check pockets of coat, take pendent (probably has sentimental value, might be tied to someone and their phantasm for ability number 3, but I wouldn't mess with that yet), check inside sports bag, get up on the bed and check the vent.

You dont know... the only door (north) is locked.

MONEY! Wasn't expecting that. We should probably take that with us. It could be uh... useful later. Yeah.

Also, take the hand lotion. You wouldn't want to have coarse hands, would you?

put on the jacket and coin necklace for more pockets and style and take the bag on money with you. Also see if either of those keys up the door.

Where's the pistols? We almost have a SPORTS BAG FULL OF PISTOLS AND MONEY, we're so close!

But seriously, check the key to see if it works.

>>573374
First off, put on that jacket and bling and become the snazziest dude in this hotel.

After that, try calling through the door. After listening for a reply, try the key.

Use trial and error to unlock the door, then..
Time for an experiment <3
Get the bottle of lotion, then attempt to swap some of the lotion with one of the keys, and back again. Be sure to focus on the lotion, not the bottle.

Having a divisible mass for swapping could come in handy

>>573409
Wouldn't he have to be able to see the lotion itself for that to work, though?

>>573412
Yeah, you need line of sight and its also probably "all or nothing" on the teleport mass requirement too, since being able to teleport just parts of things would be OP.

>>573375
Grab a Stack of Bills and leave the rest in the Bag. Then see if you can use the Key to unscrew the Air Vent to sash the Money Bag inside the duct for safe keeping.
Or alternatively after grabbing some, take all that Dosh and make it rain.

Knock on the door. If nobody answers, try the key.

Take a small amount of cash, in case you find a vending machine that takes bills. The whole pile won't be much use, in your current situation.

Leave the jacket.

See if you can reach the vent to pop it open, or if your phantasm can. Anything inside?

Have Helter-Skelter apply lotion to himself.

Reach through the door with your Phantasm and try to unlock it from the other side.

or try having it break the door down with a ORA ORA ORA ORA

Wait, how are you locked IN a (what is I assume is a hotel) room? Is the door handle switched around? I mean, shouldn't there be a little switch lock thing you can just like click and make the door unlock? If the keyhole is on this side, then that means the switch is on the other side.

Perhaps test if Helter Skelter can rotate a single object with his powers. Essentially you'll be switching an object into two different states, making them the exact same shape and mass, but simply moved. You might be able to either flip the door handle so that the lock switch is on the inside of the room or the entire door and just ruin the hinges that hold it in place. Actually rotating the handle with also completely destroy the lock regardless.

If not, just ask Helter to switch the two hinges that hold the door in place. They should be of similar mass and shape, so lets see if switching them dislodges them from the door that they hold.

Also I have another idea.

Stop and swap the walls of your room

no weapons, and doubt trying to use ghost fists right now will help. play along until we get a chance to bail with the package.

So far, you haven't gotten the chance to use your phantasm yet... I'd say play along until something goes sour, then which power to use depends on the situation.

Great. You used to be a bad man. Play along, this is a memory and you should probably try to get information from the situation.

Trying to save the girl is useless right now since she'll be unconscious for another 8 hours, and I suspect the memory won't even last that long. So talk to the guys, ask them to go over the plan one more time.

Well this might explain why Rebecca was restrained in the bathroom of our room.

Skipping on that memory fragment was probably for the best. Assuming this is our actual past then we probably don't want to remember it.
