[Hereafter] Chapter CXXXIV: Queen's Gambit
🕑 Added 2024-01-22 03:29:02 +0000 UTCNot completely happy with how this one turned out. When I went through it line by line, word by word, paragraph by paragraph, it read fine and made sense, but something about the overall direction bothered me.
I'm still not sure what it is. I just can't put my finger on it.
Nonetheless, I didn't want to make this a one for one recreation of London with nothing but our new Caster to differentiate it, so I'm not handling Nursery Rhyme as simply as, "Oh, there she is! Call her Nursery Rhyme and then kill her!" the way things go in canon. How things are actually going to go, well, that's for later.
Let me know what you guys think. Am I worried over nothing?

Part of Chaldea's job vis-a-vis the Masters is to normalize the progression of their age with the "present" world, to reconcile the difference, so they age at the rate they would in Chaldea, not inside the Singularities. So yes. They age in "real time." If they didn't, it might wind up something automatically corrected by the Counter Force, because it would be a paradox for the squishy humans to go into those coffins for a day and come out six months older than when they went in.

I'm sure you've answered this, but I can't find where. Are our cast of protagonists aging slower in singularities, so they are aging in "real time, or will they be aging in tandem with singularities? Because that could really throw a spanner into the works re Mashu

It does seem a little off, but I can't point to anything in particular myself. Maybe it's how easy our protagonists followed along? The reasoning made sense though, so I'm not sure that's it. Hmm... I am glad to see my favorite Assassin. I'll be interested to see what you do with her.
