Kyubi's Grief Spiral Recovery Roll 2, + 2 Success

(5)(5)(2)(5)(6)(4)(2)(5)(3)(6)(5)(4)(4)(4)(2)(5) + 2 = 14 Successes, geez!
*Rolls again*

It was hard to tell exactly what position and where she was in that great big bundle of sheets, and the ambient distraught feelings further compromised your ability to think and focus your search, but you managed to grit your teeth, locate where you think one of Kyubi's shoulder is, and gently rest your hand upon it.

Almost instantly her keening cut off, the oppressive, grief fueled, and psychically amplified + broadcast miasma that threatened to crack your mind like an Egg vanished too along with it. It happened so abruptly that it left you feeling light headed, bewiddlered, and woozy, not unlike the sensation of being vigorous spun around....

Reiner's Recovery Roll: Insight (2) + Channel (3) = 5D6 Dice
(1)(1)(2)(2)(2) Well now....

....which ended up causing you to slump right on top of the big ball of covers, now experiencing a bought of Confusion, which will work how it does in Iron's campaign, IE: - 2 Insight and doing weird stuff if you fail the roll. The only exception is that if a character has 2 Insight, it will be reduced to 0 instead of 1.

In other words, since Reiner has only 2 Insight right now....

Reiner begins to make slight burbling noises as his face is smothered by the covers, his mind fogged up and senses numbed as his limbs failed to properly interpret his orders, result in him weakly floundering on the covers.

.....he's completely out of it right now, and out of your control.

The last things his conscious mind conceives is feeling the covers underneath him began to shake and stir, followed shortly by what looked to be a fuzzy image of Kyubi's head emerging right from underneath the spot you thought her shoulder was and pushing your hand to the side in the process. He couldn't see her expression clearly- his eyes refused to focus right - but mercifully his ears were still working as he picked up the kistune's muffled but unmistakable voice, confusion, concern, and remenents of her former heartbreak contained in its tone.

"......Reiner......? Master.....? Master.......what......................................"

Before he could hear the rest, the last of his coherent thoughts faded away, leaving him senseless and unaware of himself and everyone around him for the remainder of the night, as he rest/recuperates from his Confusion.

He should be fine by early Tomorrow Morning.

...

....Hopefully, anyway.

(AKA: Reiner is pseudo Fainted, only except not. He's out of your control/input right now until the next day begins at the latest, though I will make some rolls in secret to determine what he does while Confused (if anything). He won't go Insane due to this, but take note that this Too Confused to Saliently/Consciously Act will happen if any character's Insight is reduce to zero via non TPK and Alcoholic means [Those have their own penalties].)

My thoughts: Cool, it worked...oh, wait...DANG IT!!!  Alright, we're gonna have to fix this.  Sorry, Reiner, but it looks like you aren't getting a level in Strength next...though I do have to say, trying to handle...this is probably a good reason to suddenly become just a tad more Insightful...

Spending 20 XP on Leveling Insight to 3.  Now Reiner's just normally confused!

...and probably still facedown in the sheets with a concerned Kyubi next to him.

For better or worse, it seems the original plan to get Kyubi to focus on Reiner's current issues worked, I guess?  Not how I expected it to go though, to be honest...
