There are quite a lot of people who may not be obsessive, but are good with details. Like the Librarian, or Anna (the latter simply because she has a clearer memory than most humans). But they aren't nearly as expendable.








Funny thing about Chiaki though - she's probably the one character of mine that most often knows when to keep her mouth shut. I estimate it as one of the background reasons she and Hatman broke up, because she kept too many secrets.

But that might not be the only reason the Hood wouldn't want her to know. He might find it amusing to test just how deep her nickname goes, and just how much of his plots she can figure out, and just how much she feels safe letting people know.





What I mean though, is if Lara does absolutely nothing, she has no bearing on the Parodyverse at all. If a Parodyverse resident does nothing, everything can change. The trick is getting Lara motivated to interact and make changes without alerting her to what she's doing, or in such a way that she doesn't care about the consequences for some reason.

Faite, on the other hand, has a very simple job: To try and maintain balance. Eons of experience has caused her to plan further and further in advance, and to know when to interact as little as possible to make the greatest change. That experience also has taught her to leave the Hooded Hood alone most of the time, because most of his plots *are* integral to balance - or he does that purposely to keep her from interfering. She doesn't like him either, though, because whenever he retcons something, it sometimes means more work for her repairing things in the present.

The only time Faite really gets involved and interferes is when the present has been thrown way out of balance, like during the Moderator saga. Bad news is, that means she'll do her best to interfere with the plans of the Carnifex, if she isn't already.








It should be interesting. The only hint I'll give now is that the word "alliance" is key. Any alliance isn't perfect, there's always a point of strain at which enough pressure can cause it to break.
