People seem pretty confused as to why you're drawing circles everywhere. They seem to think it's some sort of performance art. Telling them directly only works slightly better, but after quite a lot of loops you do manage to convince a couple of people. (Rolled 2.)
Quote:Using a code phrase—perhaps, like, "Abbott and Costello," I might try to do a thing where it might take the people into the loop, then we can discuss the plans or the source, and whatever I find the last night might have to be subtly confirmed or denied. Or if no one believes me I can carry something on my person or in my body for the next loop.
Repeating (heh) a catch phrase and getting others to repeat it too helps more than you'd expect, and now you've got those couple of people you convinced earlier remembering the loops too. This makes finding the artifact a lot easier. (Rolled 9.)
Quote:If I can keep a list in my mouth before I smash the loop, maybe I can let it out of my mouth and read the list of what is necessary. Or maybe tattoo it on my hand or inside my glove or whatnot—unless that smears... I need to get something! SOMETHING!
Trying to keep a list in your mouth just makes the ink runny, but writing it on your hand is a bit more legible and you at least remember some of the details. Your good memory helps fill in the blanks, too. (Rolled 3 +1 for good memory for a total of 4.)
