Chapter Text

KIM KITSURAGI – “That would just escalate tensions. No captain would sign off on it. Solving one murder isn’t worth a conflict between the RCM and the Débardeurs’ Union.”

“In fact, even the *death* of two detectives might not warrant an all-out war. So let’s keep a cool head, okay?”

HALF LIGHT [Medium: Success] – He’s not exaggerating about that mortal danger. Just calmly factoring it in. Your fists clench and your pulse rises uncomfortably.

1. “Why do we need to talk to them?”
2. “What do you mean ‘rowdy’?”
3. “Are those the men Garte told us about yesterday?”
4. “There are so many of them. Maybe we should call in reinforcements?”
5. “Let’s roll.” [Leave.]

YOU – “Let’s roll.”

KIM KITSURAGI – “One more thing before we do…” He glances at the booth again. “We don’t have to talk to them immediately. We can walk right past them, continue with our business.”

AUTHORITY [Easy: Success] – Good. A power move. *Purposefully* concentrate on something else first.

REACTION SPEED [Easy: Success] – Yeah — streetwise. Zoom right past, do it on your own terms.

LOGIC [Easy: Success] – But… aren’t you *curious* to know what they have to say about the murder?

KIM KITSURAGI – “They’re in no hurry to leave — they think they own the place… Anyway, I leave that choice to you. Whatever you decide is fine by me.”

TASK COMPLETED: Find out who is in the Union Box

 

This is the version I used for la bibliothéconomie, and I’m going to level with you: this is a way hackier implementation than the other one. The original margin spacing on the beginning and ending divs has already broken once since I finished the style in January 2022 and had to be redone, so I really can’t make any guarantees here.

Other than that, the biggest difference between the FELD Playback version and the default version is the default version’s background is contiguous from the title all the way down to the endnotes, while the FELD Playback background applies only to the body text of a chapter, as shown below (click on images to see full-size).

Unlike in the default version, where you don’t have to do anything to make the background happen, for this one you have to set up <div> elements for the background and the two FELD overlays (it’s only three divs, but still). If you have multiple chapters, you’ll have to add the divs to every chapter.

All the selectors work the same way as with the default version. You can also make this work skin’s typeface serif the same way as with the other one. The only things that don’t work are the background options: there’s no simplified FELD or light-mode FELD.

FELD Playback Code

Create a new workskin (don’t add it into a workskin already containing the default version) and copy-paste the contents of this Pastebin into it. The unique selectors in this workskin are:

• feld-overlay-start – the beginning overlay
• feld-body – surrounds the main body of the chapter
• feld-overlay-end – final overlay

And you’ll use them in your fic like so:

<div class="feld-overlay-start"></div>

<div class="feld-body">

  <p><span class="neutral">HTML TUTORIAL</span> – Your fic chapter goes in here.</p>

  <p class="you"><span class="neutral">YOU</span> – Makes perfect sense. [Finish thought.]</p>

</div>

<div class="feld-overlay-end"></div>

Note that AO3 adds a <p> element before each <div> automatically. The spacing in the CSS assumes the presence of these extra <p> elements; you shouldn’t need to add them yourself, but if for some reason AO3 is being wonky about it, double-check that your code looks something like this:

<p></p><div class="feld-overlay-start"></div>

<p></p><div class="feld-body">

  <p><span class="neutral">HTML TUTORIAL</span> – Your fic chapter goes in here.</p>

  <p class="you"><span class="neutral">YOU</span> – Makes perfect sense. [Finish thought.]</p>

</div>

<p></p><div class="feld-overlay-end"></div>
