Although given her history she might be better at identifying the kind of person that would become the Rising King, rather than letting prophesy tell her who it will be.

Cio melted the key she stole and forged it into the scissors, obviously.

These last few pages have been such a delightful tone shift from battling a demigod after destroying their blood guzzling testicle fruit tree.

I do enjoy that Cio's fanfic isn't just a cover for some deeper agenda - it's something she's genuinely invested in. That she also happens to have another agenda is beside the point.

Pureauthor posted:She's starting using 'you' instead of 'tha'. Abaddon/Operant is probably trying to develop her to be more "proper" to contrast with Princess, who's pretty obviously anything but proper. I would guess that, in-story, it's part of Cio trying to be appealing to Allison.

Interesting to see that while Vladok was very male, Yabalchoath is quite female. I guess ebon devils aren't gender-locked.

Someone wanna explain the Devils and names thing? I thought they shed names to go up in power, more names made them less powerful. Or did I get this in reverse?

Malpais Legate posted:Someone wanna explain the Devils and names thing? I thought they shed names to go up in power, more names made them less powerful. Or did I get this in reverse? No, you're correct. A devil increases in power by having their names shortened and refined, with the end goal being their True Name and Ebon status

Malpais Legate posted:Someone wanna explain the Devils and names thing? I thought they shed names to go up in power, more names made them less powerful. Or did I get this in reverse? That's the idea, but it's probably not as simple. The name must correspond to the devil to give it a real identity; if you make a new devil and just call it Bob I doubt you'll get an ebon devil this way. You'd probably just get a half-formed mass of flame that needs more names to acquire a solid identity. And I'd tend to suppose that while they shed names, they also acquire new ones, such as perhaps replacing two human-given names by one names they give themselves. Cio's former name was very long and Yabalchoath is just what she remembers of it. Allison managing to somehow rechristen Cio Yabalchoath wouldn't restore her to ebon devil status. Come to think of it, Vladok was probably not the full name either.

I might just be wrong, but I feel like the "long, twisty" bit isn't so much any literal verbal component to the name (like "Yabalchoathhypotheticalstringofmeaninglessletters," but longer, presumably) as a nonverbal, mythic component, sort of like "repute" or "being my own name." Like, Yabalchoath carries the symbolic impact of being an enormous ebon murder queen plus the experience of being unbound by any name but your own, which constitutes the forgotten part.
