Tuning & Spying Permissions

[choirmaster]

TUNING Sunday can use the power of Harmony to "tune" others. This process allows him to greatly influence someone's mind. It can be used in a healing fashion to soothe distressed people. It can be used defensively to alter other people's perception or make them forget they ever saw him. It can also be used as an attack to slowly unravel someone's sanity or force them to tell the truth. Not telling the truth when tuned turns the Harmonic consecration into a trial that will kill the person if they fail. In extreme circumstances, Sunday can hold the minds of others prisoner within his own consciousness. According to the Masked Fools, aggressive tuning can even rob someone of all sentience, reducing them to a mindless husk. Which is all to say, it does a lot, and its limits are not well defined in canon. If it has to do with the mind, tuning can do it. Sunday is canonically very liberal about his use of tuning. He does it with no regard for the boundaries of others, as it's an ability he's had his whole life. In RP, however, this ability is entirely opt-in only. SPYING Sunday is likely to recruit other characters to serve as spies for him, though he may lie about his motives. He wants to know what people are doing out of paranoia and a need to feel some control over his environment. He may use what he learns against you, anyway, however. He is vicious and cruel when cornered. Spying and being spied on are also entirely opt-in only. PERMISSIONS This is all opt-in only but here is a "consent to tune/spy" question so you can tell me "no" directly to my face! CHARACTER NAME/JOURNAL USERNAME: CAN SUNDAY TUNE YOUR CHARACTER?: IF "YES" IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE THROUGH TUNING?: Would you like your character to be relieved of despair or distress for a while? Unravel their mind? Alter their perception? Anything else you can think of about your character's mental state that you would like to play with via tuning? That all goes here! WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR CHARACTER TO SPY FOR SUNDAY?: We can RP a meeting or handwave it! CAN SUNDAY SPY ON YOU?: IF YES, WHAT WOULD HE LEARN?: Details about a character's routine, etc. He can learn as much or as little as you want. ANYTHING ELSE?: Questions, comments, and concerns go here! <b>CHARACTER NAME/JOURNAL USERNAME</b>: <b>CAN SUNDAY TUNE YOUR CHARACTER?</b>: <b>IF "YES" IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE THROUGH TUNING?</b>: Would you like your character to be relieved of despair or distress for a while?

CHARACTER NAME/JOURNAL USERNAME: Clea Dessendre / repaintress
CAN SUNDAY TUNE YOUR CHARACTER?: Yes!
IF "YES" IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE THROUGH TUNING?: We talked about this a little bit, but I think it would be interesting for both characters if we explored Sunday using his Tuning to make Clea more...docile. She's got authority issues, is highly motivated by self-interest, has flexible morals and abuses power...basically the exact sort of person that a well-meaning authoritarian sort would think should be restrained for the greater good. (Clea thinks ACAB because cops keep you from exacting your blood feud revenge all over the city). She's also mind whammied people herself and I'm a sucker for characters being on the receiving end of their own nonsense.
WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR CHARACTER TO SPY FOR SUNDAY?: Not happening. Sorry, Sunday. :<
CAN SUNDAY SPY ON YOU?: Yes!
IF YES, WHAT WOULD HE LEARN?: Clea lives at the Louvre and is very protective of everything in the museum, she drinks a concerning amount of wine, is adept at several forms of art (painting, sculpture, singing, and photography), is learning how to fight and seems to pick it up eerily quickly with what seems like little practice, the people she's closest to in Etraya seem to be Sophie and Clive, she can talk to animals and spends a fair amount of time with the snakes but is not a fan of the songbirds, and she's doing something weird in the Catacombs with some sort of magic that she's not telling anyone about.
ANYTHING ELSE?: Okay, so I see it as Clea is decently easy to Tune (she's got a pretty strong will but also just seems like a standard issue human so...), but she would eventually figure out what's going on since she's been on the giving side of mind whammy.

We definitely need to get these two interacting!

I see some potential hooks here.

Sunday loves songbirds, art, and singing, though he doesn't sing himself much. Anymore. Where people can hear him.

He would definitely be drawn to the Louvre for the art.

Clea doesn't sing all that often either - it's something she did with her brother and he died. So...

He'd definitely pick up on her artistic nature and that it's very genuine: Clea adores art in all its forms and takes it extremely seriously, including in her own work. She's constantly pushing herself to create new, interesting and better things.

Which could potentially add in to the reasons for Tuning: She could be such an asset to society if she were just...sanded down a little! For the greater good, you know.

The Louvre is open to people as long as they're respectful, and Clea is like always there.
