VILLAIN TALK! (If you're not a villain player, please compartmentalize your metagame knowledge after reading) Okay guys, Maria-mun and I are asking for your consent with a plot idea that will involve the revelation of Cloud's Wind shard and, potentially, faction. I am asking here because not all of us have Skype. We're thinking how cool it would be if Maria came into contact with an ambition-corrupted shard. Namely, the one powering the ship they're on in Pie in the Sky. Maybe its negativity will warp with her memories to form a manikin? Whatever the case, Maria will realize the Levistone is high magic stuff, and the conclusion that Cloud is either a rebel or villain will be much easier to reach for those not in the know if Maria goes public with that info. Or something else might happen (Cloud may crash the ship to hide the evidence. He won't kill Maria. He'll deal with Leon and Ashe's anger later). We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Does this sound good to y'all? We will not move with this game-changing reveal unless we have your okays. In the mean time, the above pic is me.

It remains to be seen how this will end.

A lot of you already picked-up on this.
