*[[Sphinx]]s<ref name=stuff>Verona crouched in the rain, which was reduced in intensity by the wards others were drawing, her head hunched forward so the hood offered more protection, tilted so she could look up through the corner of her eye at it.  To do otherwise would mean rain in her face.  She felt like she had to put the pieces together using what the other side had.  It made her reluctant to think of Law and Law-based Others.  The ones who worked based off of the Seal.  They tended to be [[pattern]]-driven, tied to the fabric of things.  Some were manufactured, like stone lion statues that guided flows of karma and spirit around them, while acting as guardians.  The hot girl totem spirits were like that.  Shrine spirits were like that.  Others were more natural: Petitioner spirits with their rigid rituals of questions, Sphinxes needing and being empowered by a failed question-and-answer ritual, the bogeymen and urban legends with their specific patterns and narratives they carried out. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2023/06/10 Excerpt] from [[Finish Off 24.7]]</ref><ref name=":3">The Gardener screamed, and Lucy turned to see her dragging fingernails through the finely cut patterns of flowers into skin, where it had been flensed away in fine detail to leave patches of petals and things behind.  She ruined it, howling.<br><br>With Sight, Lucy could see the dark staining swelling around her, as bad as if someone was dipping into the Abyss.<br><br>“She’s getting stronger?”<br><br>“She’s like a type B Petitioner,” Verona said. ["] there are Others who quiz you or give riddles or whatever, and you can ignore them, avoid them, just don’t give the wrong answer.  But then there’s ones like, if you don’t have the right answer, or if you skip the riddle or try to be clever, they get righteous strength to smack you down with.  Sometimes they get to ''automatically'' eat you.  Like the [[Phix|original Sphinx]].”<br><br>“So what, we don’t play her death game, she-”<br><br>“Gets powered up until she can force us to play, or punish us for skipping out,” Verona said. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2023/01/10 Excerpt] from [[Hard Pass 22.7]]</ref>

*[[Alabaster Spirit]]s<ref>“You have other advantages.  Others of Law tend to be bound by those same forces they govern.  And she is tied into this system and its laws twice-over.”<br><br>“And Chuck is once-over?”<br><br>“The [[Carmine]]?  Yes.  Once-over.  What this means is that if you can find points to argue, they will count.  Her integrity is literally her integrity, as your bones are to you.  Things you could hold against her will count.  If you want it to count against the price, you could.  Question becomes… do you have enough?”<br>[...]<br>“Part of managing karma is being a custodian for karma,” he said.  “And not having enough power to manage what you’re meant to manage?  It’s like being a big bank and people you owe debt to start calling in those debts.  Maybe you can get the money together, but you’ll pay steep interest.  If you can’t get the money together, then it calls everything you’re doing into question.”<br>[...]<br>“Sure.  And this Other that’s invested heavily into the Carmine is going to hear a good argument and quit it?  Go back to being a moral, upstanding figure?”<br><br>“She’s an Other of Law so we can’t rule it out,” Sebastian said.  “It might be the easiest thing for her to do.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/10/11 Excerpt] from [[In Absentia 21.3]]</ref>
