- Not as many as there could have been, but lot of Moonblessed were affected by the forced transformation. I was caught up in a... fight with one and couldn't give you an accurate number, just that we managed to evacuate a fairly large number before the transformations started.

- I believe it had something to do with the game. It seemed the players encountered Majestas during an event shortly before it appeared within the amphitheatre. That's unfortunately all I know and remember.

[downswing]

Gratitude.

Your quarrel. The circumstances?

[sleepinglotus]

[Suuuure. Quarrel. Let's call it that...]

He was being affected by the wings and went into a rage. I tackled him to keep him from harming a Prismal that was attempting to flee.

[downswing]

Rage dissipated shortly?

[sleepinglotus]

Yes, thankfully, and I was able to get out of the amphitheatre after.

[downswing]

Heroic.

The man you tackled. Name?

一 I think the Prismal medics would be able to give you a better count of how many were wounded. There were also those who were blinded due to the halo above. I think the effect was temporary though.

二 I remember summoning my Persona (a summoned being, it'll take too long to describe), but then I lost control because of the wings that came out of me. My Persona eventually disappeared and it was moonlacing that eventually cured me. I still needed medical attention afterwards.

[ A way simplified version. But he really doesn't want to go into details. ]

三 I don't think much is know yet. The Prismals might know more, since he was "released" because of us in the game. I think. There might be an announcement at some point, otherwise maybe the employees at the Government Center know more? Hard to say, though. They seemed just as confused as we were.

[downswing]

May be hundreds wounded.

Your 'Persona' sorcery is intact now?

[afoolshope]

Probably, yeah.

It is. It doesn’t really go away. Just the being itself can disappear under varying circumstances.

[downswing]

A... golem?

[afoolshope]

I don’t know what a golem is.

A persona is something within. Everyone has masks to get through hardships in life. That mask can take a physical form called a persona. That’s what I have.

[ He’s not sure how far detailed he needs to get so he starts as simple as he can for now. Nailed it? Maybe? ]

I can't say much about how many were wounded, but I saw many Moonblessed who experienced the wings sprouting out of their backs. Many were also blinded by the light of the halo. I've heard they're alright now though.

Majestas showed up in the game and offered to release us if we would free him as well. I'm not really sure what happened. One moment I was in the game and then I was in the amphitheater. It all happened really fast.

[downswing]

Birds in a cage. And 'wings'.

What did he promise release of?

[amemoryorus]

Do you think the wings meant something?

The game. He's the reason we're back.

[downswing]

Did he threaten or lure?

[amemoryorus]

He...said something about our deepest desires.

[She remembers seeing a brief flash of her family in her mind. And then...she'd been in the amphitheater.]

Maybe someone believed him. That he could make it come true.

[downswing]

Why did you not?

I can't speak to specific numbers of how many were wounded as I was one of the ones who was temporarily pulled into the game and upon my release was temporarily blindED.

But Majestas was a character within the game who promised us our freedom if we freed him in exchange and told him our "true desires", and clearly something that we did met his demANDS. I'm sure what the specific initiating action was or whether someone simply had to speak IT, but when I came to after being in the game he was in this realITY.

As far as I've researched before this incident I hadn't come across any mention of Majestas in any of the lore through the libraries, but there's the possibility that such documentation- if it exists- is hard to come BY. But it would be my guess that the Prismals are just as wanting for information as US.

[downswing]

A queen rules.

Your texts spoke of her king?

[spellspeak]

Not that I've FOUND. As far as I can readily tell the Queen has reigned alone in tandem with the Magister Scientiae Alcmene.

[downswing]

A contender.

[spellspeak]

Are you referring to Majestas? Based on what he said I think if he were vying for rule he would have just taken it when he appeaRED.

Of course that could change laTER.

[foolishjustice]

Majestas was sealed inside the virtual world. According to our encounter with him there, he needed someone from reality to desire to free him in order to escape. He seemed to know just what to hold over our heads, too.

His appearance matches an image from a scroll in the library on Iris. None of the words had been translated yet when I was up there, but based on the illustrations, there are quite a few other entities like him that have been lost to history.

[downswing]

Imprisoned by the queen?
