Vivi, any advice for Rocco and Christabel Stratton?

Vivi considers this for several seconds. "... well, no."

"No‽"

"I'm not even sure whether this bridge can be repaired. I certainly have no special insight on how to do so."

"Mom, you're like, one of the top two best moms ever!" Hallie protests.

Vivi smiles weakly and hugs Hallie. "It's very sweet of you to say that, but it's not a matter of my proficiency at motherhood in general, it's -- simply put, I'm not Richard's mom. I know very little about what brought him to this point, even if I take everything said during that last attack as the gospel truth. I just don't think there's anything I can tell them that they don't already know."

...

...

Yet I notice she assumed without prompting that the purpose of the advice was to repair the relationship.

Well, yeah, if they wanted to throw him to the wolves, they'd hardly need her advice for that.

8 Hallie

8. What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - how much of it is projecting?

All of my characters' personalities are some amount of projecting :p the real question is which aspects. In Hal's case, it's my desire to burn shit down. Only where I would think "hold up this would probably go badly on net", Hallie just does it. And gets away with it usually, because it's funnier that way.

Anyway, like most of my characters, Hallie is just an amalgam of whatever I happened to think was cool at the particular moment I was writing them. I don't even remember why I made them the meme-loving fuck of my OC mansion.

(Character asks!)

Vivi, I heard your student Billy is finally starting science labs this year!

You must be happy for him, right?

"Oh, absolutely! It's been wonderful seeing his progress with his powers, and I'm glad he's reached the point where he can join the class in-person."

[elakha-house-cube]

Hey Vivi

-Tosses Kairos your way-

She catches the kitty. "Hello! ... I don't know why they threw you at me, little kitty! That is an interaction that doesn't usually happen!"

[elakha-house-cube]

Welp, I've arrived to the choice between Cats and Snakes in light fingers without deciding which one I want to pick-

So I want to ask people who've played it or are playing and already know which one they want, what was your in-character reason for picking either one? (i imagine that if I ask about ooc I'm going to get a lot of "I wanted to be a cat" lmao)

Elakha household

Any thoughts on the ostensibly cis kid collecting as many pronouns as possible?

"Good for alpha."

"I wouldn't say this to a stranger's face, but let's come back in a year and see whether it's still cis," Hallie says in what can only be described as an extremely knowing gender hoarder voice.

[elakha-house-cube]

Skyward!vivi, do you remember a student named Cavellia?

"Ah, yes, I remember pop." Vivi grins. "It's not often the cube test is a challenge for me."

[elakha-house-cube]

Skyward!Vivi any thoughts on your student Neo Riptide?

"Aws. Riptide needs to learn some maturity. But rip is only 15, that's natural at rips age. Hopefully, the next few years here at Skyward will do the trick."

[elakha-house-cube]

Skyward!Vivi, remember when Richard tried to take the box test? Any thoughts?

"The box test is to determine the contents without opening it," Vivi says. "He opened it. It's a test of resourcefulness and creativity, and all he proved is brute strength."

I'm kinda shocked the guy is a Nexus at all.

"Oh, you of all people know there's no rule against a total dick getting superpowers."

Fair enough... ... Hey waitasec, what are you implying -

[elakha-house-cube]

oh look at the time, it's time for my daily periodic oc fact:

so y'know, like most flpcs, Inessa is a member of God's Editors. the game just kinda drops that on your head once you become posi, doesn't it? but she's not actually Christian, she's contributing to the revisions as purely an intellectual exercise. (after death and tax evasion, she's been looking for good places to address the rat situation.)

i haven't really worked out what she is religiously. the most reliable single predictor of someone's religion is their parents' religion, but Inessa doesn't exactly have parents

[elakha-house-cube]

Hey Vivi meet a fellow cat lover

"Huh, her cats have nearly the same set of names as mine! What an odd coincidence."

More like you have the same author. Or, well, McCay here and your Maris self do. You know.

[elakha-house-cube]

one of the better methods to accumulate menaces for hallowmas is to equip a woesel and blather about The Name with the duchess

so now i've got this image in my head of Inessa and The World's Shittiest Weasel standing there next to a sign reading "Hear About The Most Terrifying And Illegal Things Ever! -Free!" and she's just going on and on about how hungry she is and how she's gonna eat her own teeth and the reckoning won't be postponed all that

she only has so much to say, she starts repeating herself after like ten minutes, but everyone is too busy running away and screaming to notice it

[elakha-house-cube]

today's daily oc fact starts with a flashback to yesterday's oc fact:

so she'd remember.

and if you were here yesterday you may have been wondering: what exactly is Inessa remembering?

she got that headband from a childhood friend on the surface who basically raised her. yeah she didn't have parents -- i mean literally she obviously did, but... well, she assumes they abandoned her and/or died, but she has literally no memories of them, it's not like she can confirm this

oh and the friend. they didn't make it to the neath. they didn't even make it to adulthood.

[elakha-house-cube]

"daily" oc fact i was never expecting to actually think of oc facts every single day but i was expecting to keep it up for at least like. a week before i just forgot

Inessa has dreamed of being a cat since she was seven, so, y'know, lucky for her that she went light fingers

when she went to the neath she brought a cat-ear headband that she hadn't actually worn since she was a teenager. so she'd remember.

[elakha-house-cube]

@ Everynyan

"True. I do need all the cats."

"Mooooom..."

[elakha-house-cube]

Skyward!Vivi- you're really good at analyzing things to understand how they work, right? Plz examine this. -Hands her the Rooster Miraculous-

Vivi gazes at the thumb ring with the combination of awe and terror normally reserved for observing the innermost workings of a deadly machine. ... Then again, maybe that's exactly what she's doing.

She takes several seconds to snap out of her reverie. "That... is something very dangerous. Its potential in the hands of someone with even an inkling of what it can do..." She hands it back to Kira. "I shouldn't have this. It's too... I just shouldn't have this."

[elakha-house-cube]

We saw this character headcanon generator on our dash and

Inessa bullies kids on roblox.

"On what now? ... Those contraptions don't even exist yet!"

Inessa desperately needs a hug but doesn't know it and refuses to ask for one.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I have a perfectly normal amount of physical contact which isn't fighting."

... how does she manage to be touch-starved when she's married to nearly everyone in London?

She's very skilled at ignoring her own needs.

"You hush up!"

Inessa is not allowed to drink energy drinks.

"Listen, I only did science while overcaffeinated once, and the resulting damage has since been completely repaired."

Inessa is very willing to eat inedible things.

"Am I? Or does society have an overly narrow understanding of the definition of 'edible'?"

Inessa can't sit in a chair properly.

"I must object to that characterization -- if I'm comfortable, then I am sitting properly!"

Inessa wears Hello Kitty socks.

"... This is true."

And below the cut, some further interesting ones we couldn't make a Bit out of:

Inessa believes in ghosts and insists on trying to summon one at every sleepover.

Inessa is a great artist.

Inessa has incredible spice tolerance.

Inessa has a stuffed animal under their bed.

Inessa had an emo phase.

Inessa is a switch.
