That could dovetail with Faite's assertion in that tie-in I did that she might already be interfering. Having to deal with cosmic office holders means she often has to be subtle, and she has millennia of experience with subtlety. Her "interference" could be as simple as making sure someone doesn't notice a small but very important event. *If* she is indeed interfering, that is. Because see, the trick is making sure no one can tell for certain.

Speaking of which, a peculiar trait of Faite's is that she has no *offensive* powers of her own. She can only manipulate the environment. So if she's face to face with some super-powered or cosmic being, her only hope is to make the ground they are standing on weak so it collapses, or cause gas to leak so the building explodes, etc.

Iif Hatman would throw a punch at her, she has no power to stop him; but she can put a lump in the carpet so his feet tangle up and he falls on his face. Someone as powerful as Lara, who can affect an entire area, though, would be harder for Faite to avoid. She would have to make a more substantial environmental change, like move herself to a different floor.

The point I'm getting at is you can imagine with limitations like that, she has had to become very smart, and very aware of her environment, or she probably wouldn't still be alive by now.








If Chiaki gets the opportunity, she'd probably put Lisa's comment about indestructibility and a landslide to a practical test, so to speak. She's someone who knows that there are much worse fates than death, or even injury, which would come in handy when dealing with someone indestructible.


On the new part today:

I observed right away (and then Lisa mentioned it) that dropping a building on the Shaper of Worlds created a job opening. But the timing of it is worrying, because that opening might be filled by someone who could want the old job back: Wilbur Parody. That will make him harder to get rid of.

But then again, if he's in the Shaper of Worlds job, that would also be the opposite thing he really wants to do, and he'd either have to adapt the job to what he wants, or he would have to adapt to what the job requires.
