Blake (thinking): Putting on muscle, hmm . . . Two can play at that Game.

Jany: Change of plans! Get teeth!
How come you’re not yelling at Blake? This is really tense!
Walker: My Being can handle combat unaided.
Jany: Oh! W-well, so can mine!
Great job, Kara Lynn! What you’re doing all by yourself is perfect!
Oh sweetheard, you need to let Kara Lynn do her thing. Walker is blind, don’t give her the advantage.
I’m not that sure she could. Blake can act pretty good on his own but Kara Lynn hasn’t really had that much chances to practice that regularly. Not giving orders or being indecisive could leave her confused and open to attack. Maybe there’s a way to communicate without words (beings can sense their master’s desires for example) but Jany would have to practice beforehand I’m sure.
I know everyone is worried about Jany giving herself away but there’s not really anything to get around. Or much to give away with her all attack style.
What I was wondering though, how is a loss determined without an condition set? Until one being can’t fight? I also wonder how much the will of the master is of import. If a being’s master simply says that the being is not beaten, would it supercede external conditions and make the being continue fighting?
My theory is that the independence difference isn’t so much a matter of practice as a result of the Beings shifting most of their ‘normal’ form and attributes to suit their masters’ normal needs.
Blake can fight independently without orders since that is one of their Walker’s basic needs for them, whereas Kara Lynn’s default configuration under Jany does not include fighting as a core attribute so some options like appearance changing power uses need to be manually set.
I, for one, approve of the “nom nom” – good show!
Om nom nom!
