=== Chapter 1 === | |||
The visual novel begins with Lady Geist | |||
=== [[The Binding of Oathkeeper/Transcription|Storylines A and B]] === | |||
[[File:Geist VN McGinnis ward.png|thumb|325x325px|Storyline A - Lady Geist's new ward]] | |||
As Lady Geist seeks to understand wards better, Johann Jr. gets Lady Geist in contact with {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}}, who arranges a gala for "the brightest minds" to attend. While most people at the gala are unable to help Geist's problems with the ward, she does get two notable leads: {{HeroIcon|McGinnis}} and {{HeroIcon|Abrams}} (Abrams told Dynamo to give Lady Geist his business card). | |||
In [[The Binding of Oathkeeper/Transcription#4a - Humble Pie|Storyline A]], Lady Geist decides to make amends with McGinnis after being rude to her at the gala, seeking McGinnis out at her workshop. While McGinnis is initially reluctant to help Lady Geist, she is interested when Lady Geist offers McGinnis the chance to "harness the power of a god" during the Maelstrom. | |||
Some time passes until the day before the ritual, where McGinnis creates a new ward for Lady Geist, designed to "drip feed" Oathkeeper to maximise every life Lady Geist takes. With the new ward created, Lady Geist is told to participate in the Maelstrom to gather enough souls to power the ward. | |||
Storyline A ends with Lady Geist equipping the new ward, prepared to participate in the ritual in order to "live forever".<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Lady Geist|hero2=McGinnis|number=4|hero_quote1=McGinnis|quote1=You remember what you need to do?|hero_quote2=Lady Geist|quote2=Collect souls, power gauntlet, summon Patron... live forever.}}</ref> | |||
[[File:Geist VN Abrams Patron.png|thumb|325x325px|Storyline B - Lady Geist and Abrams successfully summoning the Amber Hand Patron]] | |||
In [[The Binding of Oathkeeper/Transcription#4b - Revelation|Storyline B]], Lady Geist seeks Abrams after receiving his business card. After meeting at Abrams' apartment, Abrams shows his Tome to Lady Geist, asking her to place her Oathkeeper hand on a ripped page. After Oathkeeper screams out, Abrams and Lady Geist deduce that the Tome is related to Oathkeeper, now intending to summon the [[Patron|Patrons]] for answers. | |||
Some time passes as Lady Geist and Abrams succeed in summoning the Patron. Abrams accidentally wastes his wish on asking how Oathkeeper is related to the Tome, only getting told that the Tome was used a long time ago to conjure Oathkeeper. Lady Geist wishes that the missing pages of the Tome be restored, so Oathkeeper would be bound to the Tome instead of her. Now that the Patron has left, Abrams is still stuck with the Tome, now with Oathkeeper inside of it. Lady Geist initially doesn't care about Abrams' fate until Abrams points out that Oathkeeper would come for her if the people after the Tome ever released him. Understanding that her life is still at risk, Lady Geist gets Abrams to move in to her apartment. | |||
Storyline B ends with Lady Geist placing the Tome on a bookshelf in her home, acknowledging that her and Abrams' fates have been intertwined until they can find a way to destroy the Tome. | |||
=== [[The Binding of Oathkeeper/Transcription|Storylines C, D, E and F]] === | |||
Lady Geist decides to get to know Oathkeeper better, meeting with Johann Jr. to discuss everything he could find out about Oathkeeper. Johann reveals that, while the ward is failing, Oathkeeper doesn't know how close he is to escaping, which Lady Geist can take advantage of to make a new deal with Oathkeeper. Lady Geist decides to dwell on this at [[Jezebel's]], talking with Oathkeeper about how neither of them are benefiting from their deal anymore (as Oathkeeper's power is weakening). Lady Geist proposes a new deal: she transfers Oathkeeper to somebody she trusts. That way Oathkeeper gets a new host to feed him, and he doesn't get an opportunity to kill Lady Geist. | |||
Returning home, Lady Geist talks to Johann Jr. about taking Oathkeeper from her, which he passionately refuses. Discussing a few potential candidates to take Oathkeeper, Lady Geist decides between giving Oathkeeper to [[Maximilian Fairfax]] or [[Shelly Fisher]]. As Shelly Fisher is one of Johann Jr.'s sick patients, Johann snaps at Lady Geist before walking out on her. | |||
[[File:Geist VN Fairfax deal.png|thumb|325x325px|Storyline C - Lady Geist transfers Oathkeeper to Maximilian Fairfax]] | |||
In Storyline C, Lady Geist decides to meet Maximilian Fairfax about transferring Oathkeeper to him. Lady Geist wants Fairfax to take Oathkeeper as she's "tired of bearing his weight", and believes an entity as powerful as Oathkeeper needs a strong hand to guide it. Fairfax accepts the deal, with terms that Lady Geist is given guarantees to her foundations and safety. | |||
Three days later, Lady Geist and Fairfax sign a blood contract to solidify their deal. Oathkeeper is successfully transfered to Fairfax, and Lady Geist leaves content that she's "in safe hands". | |||
Storyline C ends with Maximilian Fairfax asking Oathkeeper if he's ready to change the world. | |||
