A little late but here's my gift for the @palestaticexchange for @delphionix of their prompt, Harry interacting with the Pale / the Skills! It was hard to decide what to do for this piece but I think i'm very proud of how it turned out in the end. The wonderful @presentablemichael helped me with making this piece happen finally. Happy gift exchange!
thought it was interesting that there's a mix in here of more literal half-light (dusk, dawn, etc.) and the fight/flight aspect (instinct, suspicion).
I do think his name works best in english. But I like the french version Clair-obscur too. that's the one that translates to chiaroscuro, but clair = clear and obscur = obscure for context... I want to say it's less direct than the others, but I speak french and I don't speak the other languages so if there's any double meanings there I would miss them sadly. localization is so cool...
quotes!
this guyyy
I wish I could tell if he's even being sarcastic or not. I want to say yes, cause he does have a sense of humour
see, see? (points happily)
sorry half light I don't remember you being the lie detector skill??? why's he being such a brat
hehehe half light loves telling anyone to fuck off -- even your own skills
nooooo half light! of course he would jump all over a conspiracy theory
this is during the tribunal -- my first playthrough my odds of success got worse and worse as I avoided throwing the bomb and half light was absolutely right. (though the second time around I got the difficulty down a bit cause my harry wasn't dumb as bricks and actually had some stuff to stay to improve things)
thank goodness for the calm skills that balance some of these idiots out...
he's so over the top. my poor high strung guy...
APOCALYPSE COP HALF LIGHT my most beloved. he knows greek! it's okay if it's a coping mechanism harry, you gotta do what you have to to survive...
he gets *so* pissy when he's told no haha
this one is big but you have to read it!! half light losing it for absolutely no reason! logic's information hoarding reflex! (understandable) volition, volition my most beloved looking out for half light <3 he gets overstimulated okay
he just wants to swear okay?
this is delightful hehe
volition fighting for his life to stop this guy from exploding constantly
one second later him being calm about it
wow that's... super embarassing
this guy creeping you out and then getting upset when you act on it
half light at high levels makes me sad :( poor guy...
okay my dude
half light unlocking the fuck off dialogue option!
unbelievable! someone password protecting their data???? the horrors
re: the leopard bodysuit. electrochemistry is sooo unconcerned
poor half light...
hehehe
hghk he's so... like that. all the time.
that's all for half light!! my first playthrough had pretty high half light and he was kind of a lot? I actually didn't like him much at first, he was a lot (the first time I played my anxiety disorder was also unmanaged and I wasn't too fond of harry's anxiety embodied lol). but he totally ended up growing on me <3 he's great. I really missed him and his unhinged comments in my low fys second playthrough.
