But "trick of the light" takes on a totally new meaning as the dragon-man snaps his fingers, causing more pink energy to swirl around his rugged body and magically form clothes. He now wears leather boots and a belt that holds up tight black pants. A leather vest sits over a pink button down shirt, which remains open down to the top row of his ab muscles. He finally slides the leather pouch to his back, completing the look.

"Ah'm Lockdown the Rage'n Drag'n, infamous Warlock Pirate of Blarfngard," Lockdown says, now looking you over. "But tell me, are all Priscans look'n like ya do?"

	#I'm attracted to Lockdown, but don't want to be obvious. I should play hard to get.
	#I'm not interested in Lockdown romantically, but I will hit on him to get on his good side, since that seems to be his game here.
	#I don't know enough about Lockdown to feel anything yet, so I just want to be nice to get to know him better.
	#I don't trust Lockdown at all.

And what better way to reach your people, albeit indirectly, than through the creation of organized religion? After all, religion is simply the process of providing answers to the questions a society doesn't yet have the ability to answer. And apparently the Wone have used religion to indirectly communicate with their creations since the beginning of time.

So how will you send your potentially divine word down from on high?

*fake_choice
	#Send word of myself as my people's creator through a prophet, who will then create the Church of Thomil to provide rules for morality and behavior.
	#Leave a sacred text of morality and behavioral codes told in parables, encouraging religious freedom for all and calling for my people to interpret this truth for themselves individually.
	#Don't interfere at all, except by leaving advice on building societal structure. I'm just an advanced mortal creator, after all—true divinity is a force even I don't understand.
	#Create a sovereign dynasty combining church and state, one directly connected to me as Creator and whose lineage can receive the sporadic and cryptic messages the Wone will allow me to send.

Within the span of a nanosecond, Lord Grahl unleashes a startling burst of shadowforce that bashes Prince Everly with what sounds like the force of a thousand mooncores shattering. You watch in horror as Prince Everly's body is sent reeling across the sky like a shooting star, streaking into the distance in a smear of black that stains the sky.

When you turn back to Lord Grahl, you find he is now looking directly at you, shadows crackling across his curled fists. Seeing what he is capable of, you realize that if you want to survive, you must decide what to do. Immediately.

*fake_choice
	#Ignore Prince Everly's warning and try to talk to Lord Grahl using my Command ability. After all, if Lord Grahl truly wanted to arrest or expel me, he surely would have done so already.
	#Ignore Prince Everly's warning and use my Strength to attack Lord Grahl, because there's no way he expects me to be as strong as I am from my Lady Venuma full absorb.
	#Heed Prince Everly's warning and use my Energy ability to escape as quickly as possible.

"Now I must ask: With all the reasons I have given for wanting The Elite Courte to fall, is that outcome what we want? Or is there some loftier goal to be reached, one that establishes true equality on Versus?"

MamaNa breathes in deeply after posing this last question, finally indicating that the moment for your response has arrived.

*fake_choice
	#"I want to join The VS Front, because I want to see its oppressed members rise to power," I say, truly meaning it.
	#"I want to join The VS Front, because I want to see its members rise to power," I say, but I'm lying through my teeth to disarm and placate MamaNa.
	#"I plan to remain loyal to the Elite no matter what you threaten me with, MamaNa," I say defiantly.
	#"I will follow your advice to learn as much as I can and keep my options open," I say without formally committing to a side—because I don't think that's actually what MamaNa wants me to do, at least not yet.
	#"I trust you more than anyone I've met so far on Versus, MamaNa," I say, feeling there's more MamaNa wants to tell me if she can truly trust me. "I want to work with you no matter what."

MamaNa certainly poses a question Priscans have struggled with for generations: do you maintain your isolation and therefore your cultural purity, keeping Prisca safe and protected, but potentially risking stagnation by preserving antiquated ways of life? Or do you open your borders and join the galactic community to continue evolving and learning, but potentially at the cost of cultural dilution and the loss of a distinctly Priscan identity?

*fake_choice
	#"That's precisely why I support the Reflectionist doctrine and the Purity Laws preserving Priscan isolation," I say.
	#"It just seems wrong to hide from the rest of the galaxy and to waste our talents when we could be using our gifts to help spread knowledge and culture," I say.
	#"I can't be sure that either way is right just yet. I'm still waiting until I see proof of something real before I make up my mind, but likely the answer lies somewhere in the middle," I say.
	#"If Versus has taught me anything, it's to remain open to new ways of thinking. So I'm going to do just that before I pass any judgment on ancient, global traditions," I say.
