Felix Notes 4

CHAPTER 4

- Suspicions of Felix being the spirit thief caused him to get arrested. MC searches desperately for ways to free him

- MC receives an invitation to the archmage’s(Escell/Felix) estate where Felix is. Anisa tries to drag along Sage

“Felix must have a plan.”

- Anisa finds your faith in him ‘something’

- Sage offers you a dagger to defend yourself

“What’s this about a curse?”

- There is an “Anguis Family Curse”. Sage suggests that you and Felix have been too ‘busy’ to talk on it, and Anisa jabs him, saying it’s a highly suspicious tragedy. 

- Involves a grisly, unsolved mass murder, undetectable poison and the archmage allegedly…(Assuming in later chapters revealed?) 

- “Happened on the night of a full blood moon nearly twenty years ago, give or take. It was the eve of the patriarch’s birthday and the whole family was supping. One minute they were eating soup (or wine?). And, then at the stroke of midnight, the entire manor filled with screams and- hehe guess you have to find out yourself.” -Sage

“No thanks.” (Sage offers a dagger)

- Sage wishes to spend the hour having a nap, whereas Anisa wishes to patrol the premises

“I’m here for Felix.” (you knocked on the door to see the butler, Withers) 

- This butler(Withers) character leads you to Felix

- Welcome to the Blackthorn Hall

“So colorful” (referring to Felix’s wear) 

- Escell spoke to dress more according to his status (@ Felix)

- Felix hasn’t lived there in around 9 years, claims it’s a prison

- Florian Anguis was the sole survivor and he’s never spoken of what happened that night(haunted story)

“Why not both?” (both happy to see Felix and brave to venture in there) 

- Felix is flattered

- Blackthorn is crawling with the vengeful, wailing spirits of his father’s(Florian) family

- Withers is harmless and hasn’t said anything in two decades

<3 Unveil the portrait

- Felix as a baby was bright eyed and cute

- Escell looks almost identical to his design in the last legacy game. Proud, arrogant, cold, but a subtle softness MC never seen.

<3 “You were adorable”

- “Were?” Felix asks though it’s brushed off 

- Scylla is Felix’s older sister. “The less said about her, the better.”

- Florian is holding Felix, and Felix seems fond about talking about Florian. 

- Florian is a botanical alchemist of some renown

<3 “I want to hear about your papa.” 

- Florian is bookish, reclusive, pleasant enough, prefers the company of tomes than people

<3 “Sounds like you.”

- He says Escell tells him that in an insulting manner

- The family worked so hard to maintain the veneer of propriety but rot had already set in (aka things went downhill)

- Florian still sends letters on occasion. Scylla is a vintner these days 

- Escell threw every reminder of the family into this wing. Out of sight and mind.

- Introducing the gardens of Blackthorn Hall. Glassy lotus pond, trellises, colorful flowers, glittering greenhouse shrouded in twisting vines. Smells of honeysuckle and lily. Nearly all the flowers are poisonous, carnivorous or both. Florian likes lethal plants.

- Felix is trapped and powerless, likely to take the fall of the spirit thief who is still out there. He deems it his own fault, failing you. 

“You can’t give up.” 

- MC assures they’ll find out how to free Felix, catch the spirit thief and save Celena

- Felix is terrified of the idea of you getting hurt, and states he has endangered your life too much. That you’re safer, better off without him. States people have left him, and that he’s rehearsed these lines

- MC doesn’t want to leave, and stays by the crying Felix

“How can I help?” 

- Felix smells earthly and of honey dew. You notice as you hold him closely and comfort him by smoothing his hair.

- “So long as I draw breath, I’m fixed to Escell’s leash.” Felix gains an idea out of his own words. That his spirit should come with you, and his body remains there. (To kill himself/put himself near death)

“Like astral projection?” 

- Felix takes offense, and asks if you think he’s some kind of mystic. He doesn’t have the patience for the process

- Felix will use ‘The Dark’s Kiss’ poison to buy them a few hours

- Felix asks you to trust him, as this is routine

- Escell finds you both, and firmly states you should leave

- Anisa, Sage, and MC return to the city by afternoon. They await Felix’s arrival

- Sage asks if you have seen ghosts and Felix conveniently appears to scare the crap out of you. You are the only one who can see Felix

“You know it.” (Sage asks if you and Felix were ‘making up for lost time’)

- Felix retorts and does not wish you to encourage his behavior, and they tease MC slightly, along with Sage not even thinking they did anything

- Felix makes sure that he keeps how he is secretive

- MC gets on the boat before arriving to the fathom and deactivating the spells protecting the tower

- Anisa and Sage seem to have fond memories of Fathom Tower, and say Felix had good times too

“Let’s move along.” 

- You must go grab magic objects to assist, and go alone upstairs

- Rime used to pace thereabouts right in front of the window. Felix would be right behind him, ever his shadow

“Who is Rime?” 

- Rime was their captain. First in ages to earn a Relic by trail and he would not let anyone forget it. The best of them

- Rime died five years ago, and Anisa states you should talk to Felix about it because they were close. Sage did not see it as such considering their bickering of magic

- When you enter the study, Rime is waiting there. Felix is there as well, stating there’s someone here before being slammed out with magic

“How did you unlock the door?”

- Rime doesn’t need a key to get in there

- You try to hit with magic but fail as he hits you

- He introduces himself. You’ve taken so much from him, and he refuses to let you take Felix too.

Felix Notes 3

CHAPTER 3

- Rime knows your name, and you thank him for ensuring you don’t fall. You can’t shake the feeling you’ve met before. (reference to hallucination in chapter 1?)

“Do I know you?” 

- Rime is a fortune teller, and tells mc they are a ‘luminous vision of loveliness’ (Don’t know if he’s genuine) 

- Rime states “As the sun alights from its lofty zenith, the sea and the streets shall run red as the sky above. And you, dear traveler from afar, you shall discover the unseen knife slices deepest.” 

“What!?”

- Felix returns, and is clearly worried sick about you. Rime had disappeared, so you explain what occurred.

“There was a fortune teller.” 

- Felix does not take it seriously, and insists that they leave. 

- Arriving back at Fathom Tower, Felix gets to ward the tower to protect his research (and you;3 )

“I can help”

- Felix would like Thuban black tea with sesame spice biscuits they serve at the arboretum

“There’s no time for tea.” 

- Together, we proof the castle, this process lasting days.

- Burst of green and Felix has fallen in the hall. He is bruised and his wrist is black veined

“Do you need first-aid?” 

- Felix insists he’s fine and this is a result of his taxing magic

“Magic is taxing.”

- Felix has this corruption going on through working himself. He lacked power he required with his relic, so he went into his own life source, refusing to put you in danger

“Why didn’t you tell me?” 

- You insist you could’ve helped and that he shouldn’t decide what you are thinking about himself.

“You’re not okay.” 

- Felix lets you reveal his arm again, and you attempt to heal him and succeed slightly. He is shocked to think that the astrolabe would choose another healer. You thought he didn’t recognize your relic.

“Are we ghost busting?” 

- Felix doesn’t understand what you mean and brushes it off.

- “The longer it (the spirit) is contained, the weaker the spirit grows. Keeping it any longer risks extinguishing it entirely.” -Felix

- Felix asks for your magic, and you state like a ‘human battery’, and Felix grins at your ‘delightful earth lingo’

“Let’s study it” 

- Felix asks that you leave the heavy lifting to him, and you state that you're sure he’s never said that before. He glares at you.

- It feels like an escalator once you close your eyes, until you are in Porrima overlooking the harbor. It appears Felix saw it too. He looks to the spirit and appears excited to catch the thief, as we just saw through their eyes

- Teleported there, there is an unnatural chill

“There’s a coldness.” 

- Felix and MC lose this trail though not long after, and must return to the fathom. 

Return to the castle

- They travel to find a good portal spot, and reach a spot speaking of the spirit thief. But Felix is gone. 

- You think you see Felix(?), ushering you to come closer in a gap amongst the crowd, until you notice a bone chilling feeling. This isn’t Felix.

- ‘Felix’ takes out a dagger and stabs a bystander with it. There is no blood or obvious wounds.

- Actual Felix finds you and gets you away from the mob. He assures you’re safe with him, and that he has a plan

- Had a plan. Guards surrounded them, and Felix surrendered.

Felix Notes 2

CHAPTER 2

- Now leaving Mournfall to Porrima due to Escell’s request for his son

- Felix states the next time they return to this spot (referencing the cracked up limestone spot), will be the day our paths diverge and MC returns to their realm

“I like it here” (referencing how Felix assures he’ll get you back)

- Felix looks shocked at your statement

“Do you ever walk?” (Felix opens a portal) 

- Felix offers to hold their hand, and MC accepts graciously

“What’s wrong?”

- Felix accidentally has the portal in the air and you fall atop of him. He appears nervous, and his burn mark is only growing redder

- Introduction to Fathom Tower. Multiple arcane artifacts and texts stored within.

- Stella is introduced. A simple appearing cat with an ancient spirit from the hells within.

<3 Pet the cat

- Felix is jealous

<3 “She’s so soft.”

- Stella is meant to be protecting Felix’s belongings, and is in no need of food or sleep

<3 “She’s perfect.”

- Work of a powerful mage tried to break into Fathom Tower

- The Grimoire Lemegeton. bound in human skin, each page written in blood

“Can I see?” 

-Felix states that another time would be better suited for and decided to head to Escell now.

-Introduction to the capitol of Porrima. Felix’s second home growing up, very big

“It’s all right.” 

- You mention that you’ve googled bigger places and Felix doesn’t understand. No internet in Astrea

- Felix is not fond of this place. It appears it is riddled with gossipers

“What does your father do?” 

- Escell is the most powerful archmage of Porrima. He sees all magical affairs in the country and sits on the governing council. A “serpent with a honeyed tongue”

- Felix hasn’t seen Escell since before he joined the starsworn, when he declared he was no longer a member of house Anguis and left

- Escell is quick to judge Felix as he questions why he’s here 

Be polite (referring to Escell) 

- Escell lets you refer to him as Escell, and mentions he does not take the name of Anguis even though being in the house.

- Felix must prove that he is not the one going around stealing spirits, and Escell states he must come home for the investigation for this thief, and turn in any necromancy artifacts he has.

Take Felix’s hand.

- Felix refuses Escell’s demands, and Escell simply states he cannot protect Felix

“Terrible.” 

- Felix is enlightened by your view on his father, and thanks you for being there

Start Investigating.

- Felix is sent in to see Escell, whereas you stay out. Celena is seen, watching you, smirking. You try to follow, but then you are ported(?) up on a rampart, high off the ground below. 

- Rime’s grip on you is the only thing stopping you from falling.

Felix Notes 1

CHAPTER 1

- Felix says to find a way home MC must master their own power and makes them study magic

- MC struggles with casting spells

- Velan (language? Place? Both?)

“Was it hard for you?”

- Felix has been casting spells since he was very young 

- Doesn’t sound like Sage is well versed in magic

- Felix states MC is in need of a catalyst (astrolabe?)

- MC grows dizzy as consequence to so much magic practicing

- Felix brushes off when MC talks about his confusion with MC and Rime

“Could I go to magic school?” 

- Felix’s physical response is almost dropping something, making his hands meet with MC before growing flustered and leaving

“He said that?” (referring to MC’s progress in magic, Felix speaking positively of it?)

- Sage claims Felix used a lack of flattering words

- Anisa hands you a letter to give to Felix with a red seal

- You find Felix fast asleep

<3 “Move his glasses” 

- Felix again, confuses you for Rime it seems, as he almost saying ‘Morning love’ and puts your hand on his cheek

<3 “Having a nice dream?”

- He hasn’t fallen asleep huddled in books since he was a student

- Felix was expelled from his magic school for being an absolute menace. He decided to live his own life, which was unlike what the school wanted of him at all, so he sabotaged himself

- The hard red seal is an indication it’s most likely from his father(?)

- Another person(interloper) appears to have reached Astrea by Sage’s words

- As MC goes to head to the area, a shadowy figure (Rime) passes through, while the air grows cold. He disappears as quickly as he comes. (Possible hallucination?)

- The interloper is Celena, a cosplayer that was at the convention as well. She appears frightened.

“Hi there”

- Celena claims to remember you. The rest now go to leave

“I’ve got this” (referring to Felix wanting MC to be careful)

- She claims to not feel well, before once you come closer she goes “Got you”

- Her hands are so cold it burns. To defend yourself, you flash a light through your fingers (magic?)

“Watch out!” *TIMED CHOICE*

- Dark smoke comes out of Celena, black veins on her

- When Felix removes the spirit, Celena has black ichor (liquid) coming out of her eyes, nose, mouth

- An old corrupt spirit took over Celena’s body

- Celena’s spirit is bottled up somewhere

“Who would steal a spirit?”

- Anisa is clearly bothered by dark magic

“It’s just another tool” 

- Anisa and Felix argue, in which Felix is reminded of Rime again before heading away

“Maybe I should go…” 

- Escell comes from Vela across Suhail Sea to the east

- Felix insists that you stay and that he’s not mad at you

“She bound a god?” 

- There are no gods in this world, only spirits

- The possessed spirit forces Felix to write out a message from Escell to not burn his letters and to return home

- Felix is left with a burn below his knuckles of a snake coiled around a staff shape
