I made a new pixel sprite for Zenni so now he actually looks like a kid next to his dad, instead of the same height.

Then I made the first-ever sprite for Xeeban, so he can also hang out with his father. Unfortunately, his father is Xeebec. ;)

If my characters were granted one magic wish, would it be altruistic, evil, or just plain silly? Or some combination of those?

How my characters would react to having a server spill their drink

Vizada would be gracious at first for appearances while inwardly stewing.

Any time joking is an option, Zadie and Abarok are there.

Let's pretend this is a large train, since air travel doesn't exist in Kavrillia.

Seat 6 would be my first choice (assuming Vazali wouldn't be too jealous), followed by 9 (Zadie and Abarok are bound to be the life of the party.)

Most people would hate 2 or 3, but I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the Nartok and Zalani drama or the Xeebec/Lareza bickering. Plus Zalani would be glad to have a buffer between her and Nartok('s breath).

1 would suck because the kids would watch Captain Comet the whole time. 4 would be boring unless you're a fellow Council member. 5 might be awkward with Vizada staring into space on one side, but Kazie would be pleasant to hang out with. It would be hard to relax in 7 with imperial guards on three sides: one wrong move and they'd tackle me to the ground for threatening the empress.

8 would be okay. Rimzor's a nice guy, and I'd be close enough to eavesdrop on Abarok and Zadie being funny. 10 would be fine if I just wanted to read the whole time, since Lynzari and Hazervia would probably just ignore me and do their own things.

12 wouldn't be too bad. Sicara is a sweetheart, although she'd probably bore me by talking about Irokori the entire time. With any luck she'd be busy bantering with Xorax instead.

14 would be fine if baby Zarolyn was sleeping, but when she was fussing and screaming, not so much. I'd swap seats with Lenzi pretty quickly so she could take over. (Zarolyn's in the orphanage where Lenzi is a social worker.)

13 would be weird. Ditzy college-age Zelda on one side, and the president and co-founder of the Vincaran Federation on the other side. Ontaz would probably ignore me, while Zelda would say something amusingly clueless when she wasn't reading magazines or tacky romance novels. Could be worse.

11 would be the absolute last resort. Nobody wants to sit next to Brialla. She'd either talk to her dead husband the whole time or rant about wiping her enemies from the face of the planet.

Stuck in an elevator

Delzeena would attempt to McGyver her way out and then take a nap when it failed. And to be fair, baby Zarolyn can nap pretty much anywhere.

Vazali is quite skilled at gazing lovingly into her husband's eyes despite his dark glasses in the way.

Which makes Bronzar's pulse skyrocket more: a false emergency alarm in the middle of the night, or unexpectedly seeing Vazali in her pajamas? I'm not sure, but when both happen simultaneously it's a wonder he didn't have a heart attack.
