The Rise (and subsiquent fall) of Hyperion
Day 08 - Free Day 01 - Hyperion (Writer's Choice)
ARR (2.0) - My Little Chocobo
CW - General Violence, Animal Fighting, Speciaism (Lalafell)
Follows from: “Ride West, Young Chocomate!”
To the east of The Twelveswood stood the occupied territory of Ala Migho. Conqered by Gaius Van Belsar twentey years ago. The forgoten forth city-state was a land blighted by poor rulers, the last of which sparked a garlemald-backed rebellion which ended the nation's existance as a free land.
Yujo, being from a secluded island off the coast of Limsa Lamosa, didn't know the whole a whole lot about that so when she had her beer taken from her and poured over her head, she didn't have the first clue that she was in the presence of the royal guard of the mad tyrant king.
Chocomate, for his part, wasn't doing much better.
Chocomate was a simple chocobo. He didn't really have much need or care for the intricate political macinations of the two legged ones. What he needed was water, food, some light petting, a little bit of play if that was going, and he would be satisfied.
So his day, which had been going pretty well all in by his estimate, was soundly ruined when a pure-breed, purple plumed chocobo kicked him in the face and sent him flying with enoguh force for his reigns to be pulled out of the hold.
Like a proud zu hovering over a next of defenseless fledgelings, the purple chocobo stood over Chocomate and swawked a crude victory song in his name. This bar was his master's teritory and that meant this stable was his. Any other chocobo stabled here was his to do with as he pleased. He had to make it known to any newcomer that they were subsurbiant to him, The King of all Chocobo, Hyperion.
Half concussed, Chocomate though that Hyperion was a stupid name for a chocobo and, once he could strand stright, and make the other two Hyperion disapper, he was going to give the brute a pecking he wouldn't forget.
"Hey, look boss." One of the thugs standing over the soped Yujo said with a sneer of the unintelgent brute. "The 'flames got themselves another kickable!"
Soaking wet, Yujo could only smolder at the mention of the anti-lalafell slur.
"Hey, Boss, hows about we have our fun with this one and send it back to The Flames in two bags!"
"Let's tie 'er to Hyperon's riens and have him practice for the Gold Saucer GP down near The Footfolds!"
"I say we throw them to the Almaja and watch those freaks turn them into one of their zombies, that's always fun to watch!"
A thump on the table got the brutes to shut up. Knowing that they were clearly not the top dog in the pack, the brutes gave way to a dirty blonde- in multiple senses of the word- huyr woman who walked to Yujo and pulled her face up level to herself.
"Do you know why we're doing this to you?"
Yujo remained silent.
"It may well be that you did us no wrong. But your place in the world is what drives our hatred on. You bear the banner of the Flames. And banners like those are our enemy."
A moment of silence passed before Yujo mutterd something.
"What?" Milleuda said leaning in closer.
"I 'said', "Go make that someone else's problem!" " Yujo yelled as she hulled back and made for a swing, only for the cry of two chocobo outside to grab everyone's attention, causing Yujo's swing to miss and spin around as Milleuda turned in response to hearing Hyperion.
She and the rest of the brigands shared a nod and ran out the bar with Yujo in tow. Yujo could only stare as she observed the cloud of feathers and dust as Chocomate and Hyperion began to pummel at each other.
"C-Chocomate!" Yujo called out, catching Milleuda's attention.
Before she could run in to pull the pure-bread off of Chocomate, Yujo was intercepted by a sharp kick to the gut by Millueda.
"You get your stupid jennet off my Hyperion. Now!" she screamed as she pulled Yujo up by the neck.
Wheezing from the pain, Yujo stared back at Millueda with one eye shut. "You get him off my Chocomate."
"You just have no idea who you are fucking with, do you?" Milleuda uttered as she motioned to the goons. They readied themselves to pummel the lalafell as the leader of the Corpse Bregarde wound back to throw Yujo to the ground.
In the middle of the scuffle, Chocomate kicked Hyperion off him and pulled himself up just in time to see what was happening to Yujo. Realising what was happening, he crowed out a loud war song and send himself flying at speed towards Millueda. The huyr had no chance to see the attack coming and was knocked clean off her feet, throwing the lalafell into the air for Chocomate to catch on his saddle effortlessly.
Millueda pulled herself up and was ready to start the fight anew when one of her goons made a noise. "Shit! Boss, the calvery!"
A sneer crossed Milleuda's face as she saw that there was a contingent of Imortal Flames and Brass Blades making their way towards them. She snicked out an Ala Mighian cuss and motioned her boys to split.
Hyperion, left somewhat confused as to what happened looked around before he heaard Milleuda scream out for him and he started to scamper off.
Yujo floped off of Chocomate's saddle and, somehow, stood up.
"Y-Yeah. T-That will teach you to… to… Oh, gods, there go my legs…"
She floppped backwads and lay on the floor, the pain of being pummeled on having caught up to her. In her fatuged state she could see Chocomate pecking at her in concern before another figgure, a white haired huyr man dressed in dark blue approchaed and looked over her.
As she flittered in and out of conciousness he could hear his chuckle and say something about a "Y'shtola", whatever that was…
…
Yujo woke up with a start and her entire body nipping in pain. She realised she was back in her room in The Hourglass, lying on the bed and in her nightclothes. Still half awake she made her way to the glamour dresser to see herself and check for any damage.
Somehow, inspite of all that, she barely had a hair out of place.
Then she noticed a note and a rose. She picked up the note and started to read it.
"Your chocobo is in the stable - Thancred Waters."
She paniced. Chocomate! She quickly threw something on to make herself decent and rushed out of the Inn, quickly throwing the rose into the gil dish at the side of Momodi's counter as she made her way past.
After what felt like an eternity of running. Yujo found herself at the stables where a perfectly fine, all be it bandaged up, Chocomate was wating for her. "I Genuinly don't know how you ended up getting him banged up like that, but for the love of The Twelve, Don't do it again. If you get your licence revoked it looks bad on my record.
Yujo didn't pay any attention as she held Chocomate to her.
From out of sight, a mi'qote looked on, her intrest noted by the swishing of her tail.

CHOCOBOS.
@hamelin-born
“Hyperion! Dad! You’re back!” “Oh, I see,” Ardyn said, smiling down at his son from his seat on the back of Hyperion. “You missed my chocobo more than you did me.” “Daaaad,” Nyx whined, pouting up at him even as he ran over and stood on his tiptoes to give the chocobo scritches. “I see you all the time, but Hyperion is hardly ever around, not like Obsidian is.” The black chocobo leaned into Nyx’s hand and made a noise of contentment, just like he always did around Nyx. The love definitely went both ways, his chocobo had adored Nyx from the moment that they’d been introduced and vice versa. Nyx still had the plush toy that Somnus had had made in Hyperion’s image for his first birthday, last Ardyn had checked it still sat in pride of place next to his sons’ pillow – the favoured of his ever-growing collection of them. Leaping down, both because both he and Hyperion were tired but also to allow Nyx to stroke the chocobo more easily, Ardyn huffed a little. “Well then, why don’t you help me feed Hyperion and then you can tell us everything that you and your faeder have been up too while we’ve been gone.” Nyx brightened up, always happy to spend time with his dad and loving Hyperion. “Okay!” he said, darting off towards the stables, where he could see Obsidians yellow feathers and hear Cor’s voice, and then looking back when he realised that neither Ardyn nor Hyperion had followed him. “Come on then!” Exchanging a look with the chocobo, Ardyn rolled his eyes before following after his excitable son
#prompt#response#hamelin-born#ffxv#my fic#snippet#the cruellest cut#ardynson au#fluff#ardyn izunia#nyx ulric#Hyperion the Chocobo#couldn't resist the urge to mention Nyx's stuffed animal collection#because he totally has one#Ardyn would be jealous of the chocobo but he's where Nyx gets it from#Cor has a yellow chocobo that Ardyn named Obsidian#because why not?

cruellest cut ficlet
When Weskham woke to prepare breakfast, Cor was missing.
It wasn't anything unusual, having happened more times than Weskham could count over the course of their trip (Cor was an early riser, much like Weskham himself, and often slipped out of the tent to train rather than stay in the warmth), but it still made his heart skip a beat.
Only a week ago, after all, had their young friend slipped back into their camp after days missing - covered in blood and clutching a sword like a lifeline, tears slipping down his face as he shook uncontrollably.
Or, their not-so-young friend, as they had been able to piece together from Cor's frenzied words; little of which made sense.
So soon after his last disappearance, Cor's absence from the tent was enough to send a spark of worry down his spine and it was only the near-silent scuffs of a man walking outside that prevented him from waking their Prince and companions.
And yet, exiting the tent, Weskham couldn't help but wish he had.
For Cor was seated before the chocobos that they had hired for this portion of their journey, Regis wishing to visit some out of the way ruins that the regalia would not be able to access, and the expression on his face was so alike that that graced his face a week ago that he paused.
Grief, he had named it then. Cor was grieving. For what, he hadn't known and hadn't asked - the rage and exhaustion that had lined itself onto the young face, aging it decades, had prevented him doing so – but he had been certain it was grief.
Looking at Cor now, Weskham realised while that he wasn’t wrong, he wasn’t right either.
There was grief there, yes, and exhaustion, but more than that Weskham would call the emotion there desolate heartbreak.
“Cor,” he called gently, unknowing as to whether Cor would want him to see him like this, let alone approach him in this situation. Loyal as he was, their friend was closed off about himself, sharing only the barest titbits of his past. He didn’t want to make him uncomfortable, especially so soon after his encounter with the Blademaster.
But Cor just glanced at him briefly before turning back to the chocobo he was petting, the supposed teenager seemingly uncaring even as Weskham approached and settled on the ground beside him.
The chocobo, a yellow, kweh-ed in greeting.
He ran a hand briefly through bright feathers in response, careful not to touch his friends – shaking, he noted in the back of his mind, worry growing – hand.
They sat in silence for several long moments, him watching the horizon as the sun rose while Cor ran trembling fingers through the warm feathers of the chocobo’s head, which was pressed against his chest.
“My husband loved chocobo’s,” he said suddenly into the silence and Weskham fought not to startle at the sudden words or how they shook, turning just enough to see the twist of his lips and the darkness in his eyes; all of his attention on his friend even as he kept his eyes away for fear of Cor falling silent. Because, if he wanted to talk, if he needed to talk, then Weskham would gladly listen.
Internally, he revised the mental age that they had estimated - in the dark after Cor had fallen asleep, sword still clutched to his chest, speaking in whispers as they had tried to make sense of what they had just seen – up by several years if Cor had been married long enough to lose him.
“He had a yellow, just like this one, but because he was an idiot who should never have been allowed to name anything she was called Obsidian,” Cor laughed, short and sharp, like it was tearing its way out of his throat, and it turned into a choked sob halfway through. “He had a black he called Hyperion too, he loved to call for one of them and then watch people’s faces as they realised which name went to which chocobo. But he loved those birds,” he shook his head, burying it in the feathers before him.
It didn’t hide the tears. Or his next words. “And so did our son.”
Weskham stilled, refusing to flinch away from the chocked off heartbreak in his friend’s tone even as his own heart broke for him. A husband and a child and Cor had obviously lost them both and they had never known - and would likely have not believed him if he attempted to tell them before the events of a week previous.
He ached for Cor.
The estimated age was also pushed up by several more years. Looking at Cor’s face, knowing that he had had a husband and a child, he suddenly couldn’t believe that Cor was less than thirty. Possibly even closer to Cid’s age than any of them would have considered.
But the aged grief and tired loss and aching desolation written on too-young features made the possibility far easier to believe.
“I miss them,” Cor whispered, not lifting his head. And Weskham had no idea if he meant his family or the chocobos that they had once owned, but instinct told him that it was both and more besides.
They sat there in silence, the three of them, Cor with his head buried in the yellow’s feathers and Weskham a silent sentinel beside them, offering comfort in the only way that he believed Cor would accept.
They sat there until the sun was bright in the sky and their companions began to stir in the tent and only then, did they separate to complete their tasks.
(Later, when Cor left to scout ahead, Weskham mentioned to the other’s that he believed Cor to be closer to Cid’s age but made no mention of what Cor had told him, of the unnamed husband and son that Cor loved so much even now, no matter how much they pressed him.
It wasn’t his secret to tell)
#my fic#snippet#ffxv#the cruellest cut#weskham armaugh#cor leonis#no idea if wesk feels right here honestly cos i only have vague ideas of what his character is like & this is my first time writing his pov#or: i wanted more moments with cor throwing out snippets of his past to the bros#and this is what came out#might try and make this a semi-series of things#with Cor having small talks with each of the bros where bits of his past is revealed#so yeah - wesk knows that cor had a husband and son but assumes they're dead based on how Cor talks about them#(which is fair cos Cor thinks they're dead at this point too)#and wesk now thinks that cor is like cid's age and is sorta mentally going 'well that explains the grumpy'#i don't think this is very sad but my angstometer is broken so what do i know?#apologising in advance if i make you cry (but not because tears sustain me)#anyway tell me what you think (please - tell me what you think)#ardynson au

A trip to Final Fantasy fan fest 2018
“Should you discover,” says the catfish, “everyone seems to be smiling round me.”
It’s true. This enormous fish individual has been waddling by means of crowds of people that grin whilst they duck beneath the beast’s large barbels. A number of individuals are taking pictures. I peer into the gaping mouth of the fish. Two human fingers immediately lurch out, gripping onto the creature’s lips from the within.
“I’m a namazu,” says Missy Allan, the 32-year-old girl within the costume. “It’s an enormous catfish… they usually’re usually actually dumb-looking, and I really like them… I assumed it could convey numerous happiness.”
Once I counsel that additionally it is barely terrifying, Missy is unfazed.
“That’s part of their pleasure.”
She stretches her hand out of the mouth to supply a parting handshake, her human limb showing from the maw of this googly-eyed creature, like a tongue.
That is the sort of unsettling marvel chances are you’ll witness on the Closing Fantasy XIV fan competition, a conference for the monster killers of the eight-year-old MMO, Closing Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. A get-together internet hosting 1000’s of gamers (though the passes round their necks insist they be known as “adventurers”).
The web universe that unites these followers is like many others. You discover enormous maps, go on world-saving quests, and band collectively to raid dungeons for loot. You dance round cones and circles projected on the ground to keep away from injury, a display screen busier than an Amazon warehouse staffed by bees. The story is drenched within the cheery anime tropes followers have come to anticipate from the sequence.
However this instalment additionally acts as a vortex for Closing Fantasy paraphernalia. Bits and items of the opposite worlds bleed into it. Kefka (the scary clown from Closing Fantasy VI) exhibits up for a struggle. You may play Triple Triad, the cardboard recreation loved by Squall and buddies in Closing Fantasy VIII. You may gamble within the Gold Saucer, a theme park from Closing Fantasy VII. This final crossover is thematically applicable, as a result of this 12 months’s fan fest is going on in Las Vegas.
Other than having an an overwhelmingly alliterative identify, the Closing Fantasy Fourteen Fan Pageant is equal components cute nerdery and fetishistic cat ears, a conference of moogles and magic. Cosplayers strut round like foam peacocks: a spiky dragoon, a vampiric elf, a moon goddess.
The primary corridor is a pit of noise and color. There’s an enormous cactuar. There’s an artwork exhibition. There’s a stage for internet hosting shows from the sport’s creators. And, in fact, there’s a chocobo racing recreation.

Within the very center of the corridor, surrounded by followers, there’s additionally a protracted wall the place gamers scribble their names.
Right here, for 2 days, a monk and a samurai who struggle side-by-side in a Free Firm (a participant group like a clan or guild) would possibly see one another for the primary time. However the massive deal of the weekend is the announcement of a brand new growth known as Shadowbringers. The primary corridor fills for the displaying of a brand new trailer. Afterwards, director and producer Naoki Yoshida arrives on stage, quickly joined by localisation chief, Michael-Christopher ‘Koji’ Fox, appearing as translator.
Yoshida is a smiling stage presence with a straightened fringe and fingers coated in metallic rings. The followers know him as “Yoshi P” and there’s applause between each small declaration he makes. At one level, the gang begins chanting: “Yo-shi P! Yo-shi P! Yo-shi P!” Till he redirects the reward to the dev workforce, and the chanting mutates. “Dev-team! Dev-team! Dev-team!” It’s the sort of viewers so charged with unbridled fanaticism that it’ll erupt into cacophonous applause at some good field artwork.
Yoshida goes by means of the upcoming options of the growth. There will likely be user-controlled farms. There will likely be dwarves and pixies and thrilling server redistribution (at this an unsettled murmur grips the gang). There will likely be dungeons and forests and cities and homes.
“And yet one more factor,” says Yoshida, in one in all his many crowd-taunting prospers.
“Blitzball!” shouts a person within the crowd, to in-joke laughter.
No, not blitzball. It’s a brand new playable race. The director reveals this by turning and displaying the again of his t-shirt to the gang. It’s a non-chalant Bugs Bunny. Everybody within the room cheers, as a result of it could possibly solely imply one factor: the attractive rabbits of Closing Fantasy XII, the Viera, are coming to the sport.
They’re placing on a present as a lot as making an announcement. At one level, the president and CEO of Sq. Enix, Yosuke Matsuda, comes on stage (to gasps and cheers) wearing a blue cape, wielding a mage’s employees. A jolly sketch ensues between the Japanese builders, one in all them taking part in an interfering CEO, the opposite a tight-lipped supervisor. The entire thing is sort of a pantomime. Did Matsuda simply announce a brand new blue mage class? Oh no he didn’t. Oh sure he did.
It’s a grand present, designed to tickle the feelings of precisely the sort of one who is keen to fly to Las Vegas and gown up as a moon goddess. However the bards and conjurers of this digital land weren’t at all times so completely satisfied. A few of them keep in mind darker instances.
Closing Fantasy XIV had a poor launch. Eight years in the past, gamers arrived (a lot of them migrating from the earlier MMO, Closing Fantasy XI) anticipating a wondrous new world of monsters and journey. As an alternative, they received a glitchy world of bugs, efficiency issues and complicated interfaces.
The elders of Sq. Enix ordered a full retreat. Naoki Yoshida turned the brand new director. They needed to reboot the entire thing. Three years later, it relaunched, sporting the subtitle: “A Realm Reborn”. It seems to have slowly recovered. At present, there are wholesome participant numbers, say Sq. Enix. Though the latest boast of “14 million gamers” is as deceptive as any studio’s massive quantity, because it contains trial accounts and inactive ones (“Be a part of an indeterminate variety of individuals unfold throughout 66 servers!” in all probability doesn’t lower it with the promoting division).
However these numbers matter little to the die onerous longears and cat individuals of the fan competition. They’re too busy racing chocobos to care, or getting into the “cactpot” raffle, or smashing an enormous hammer in a “take a look at your energy” carnival recreation.
A few of them are reaching out to the touch an enormous reproduction of the sport’s quick journey crystals.
This crystal matches in effectively in Vegas, town of facsimile. If there could be a 1:1 reproduction of Michelangelo’s David in Caesar’s Palace, why not an enormous shard of Aetheryte?
On the principle stage, there’ll quickly be a panel about lore, through which a whole bunch of individuals will assist create the flavour textual content for a brand new beast, with microphones handed round to take recommendations. The ensuing monster is a gargantuan liopleurodon with bone armour who eats tiny kings and wears their crowns. The gang known as it “the Vegetarian”, and based mostly on the laughs this suggestion obtained, I can report with confidence that it was a very good joke.
All of the whereas, that wall of signatures is changing into crowded. At first, gamers wrote their names beneath their server. Nevertheless it’s quickly change into a chaotic slab of cursive, with the severs – Cactaur, Hyperion, Ultros – misplaced among the many names.
On the foot of the wall, there’s a portrait surrounded by flowers and trinkets and snacks. A shrine to a long-eared warrior.
That’s unhappy, I feel, this MMO will need to have its personal Vile Rat, a useless participant commemorated by others. So I ask a close-by fan: who was this?
“It’s Haurchefant,” she says.
I frown. Her-osh-o-fan?
“Haurchefant!” she says once more, as if I had not heard of Jesus Christ.
Haurchefant Greystone wasn’t a useless participant in any case, however an aristocratic NPC knight. And amongst gamers he actually has a Messianic popularity. Within the story quests that pepper the MMO, he dies taking a magical spear for the participant character. And since everybody on this corridor performs the identical story, they had been all personally saved by him. He died, in order that we could stay.
Two Sq. Enix employees come to examine the shrine and its trove of goodies. There are Doritos, Nature Valley bars, half a loaf of bread, a handwritten letter (“I do know you might be with me,” reads one line. “I can really feel it”). There are even some greenback payments. I ask a staffer what they’ll do with all of it.
“We’ll take it again to the workplace,” he says, “and recreate it.”
As a lot love and enjoyable that’s bouncing between the partitions of the Rio, there are grievances too. Occasionally, an MMO will take in the issues of the actual world. In Closing Fantasy XIV, there’s a “housing disaster”.
In 2014, a patch added neighbourhoods full of homes to the world. A dungeon diver may now change into a house owner, as long as they’d about three million gil (the in-game foreign money) of their pockets. However on crowded servers, there weren’t sufficient plots to go round. Shortages imply that the paladins and rogues of this land now collect in residential districts each time a patch is because of add new homes. As quickly because the contemporary suburbs pop into the sport, there’s a literal race to purchase land. Two gamers informed me they solely received a home for his or her clan by exploiting an elaborate loophole. They purchased one other clan and inherited that group’s home, one thing you’re “not likely purported to do”.
“It’s important to nickel and dime,” stated one of many householders.
New suburbs full of homes have since soothed demand, and there are different measures to assist hold the housing market wholesome. Should you don’t log in for 30 days, for instance, your property will likely be repossessed. Nevertheless, it stays an issue, say these gamers.
This isn’t the one smudge of actuality to mark the unbelievable realm. Gamers are additionally working brothels in-game, as Kotaku reported final 12 months. There are pubs and houses populated with scantily clad cat ladies promoting naughty phrases to johns, and making artistic use of emotes to get busy.
“Huuuhh!?” says director Naoki Yoshida after I ask about this throughout a press Q and A. He appears stunned, however it’s onerous to consider the creators of the sport aren’t conscious of this most MMO of participant behaviours. I simply need to know the studio’s place on cybersex for gil. Do they quietly discourage this sort of factor? Or are they completely satisfied to show a blind eye to this erotic function taking part in?
“Can I make a really common response to this?” says Yoshida, through a translator. “In the beginning, earlier than you even begin taking part in the sport there needs to be a consumer settlement that pops up and you should have needed to test it off…
“So inside that consumer settlement there’s a clause that states that something that… breaks the legislation, any exercise or any remarks which might be made that should break the legislation or infringe on any kind of legal guidelines, for these gamers… there will likely be punishment… both that being your account being banned or… some sort of penalty will likely be imposed upon them.”
It’s a strict invocation of the legal guidelines of Eorzea, relatively than actual life legal guidelines (though maybe he’s reminding us of that too). Is cybersex actually that regarding? Even when it’s a consensual encounter between two grownup gamers?
“Regardless,” says Yoshida, “that’s nonetheless eligible for an account being banned.”
It possible doesn’t matter to roleplaying matrons and intercourse staff whether or not their methods are bannable or not, since it could take one of many individuals concerned within the attractive dialogue to report it. However whether or not it’s in opposition to the foundations or not, soiled discuss is one purpose why numerous roleplayers hold logging in. Nonetheless, it’s a really sober and severe reply from a person who, lower than 24 hours from now, will appear on stage dressed in a flashy Kimono and singing an indignant rock track. Sure, the competition’s finale was considerably surreal.
This rock live performance featured The Primals, a band made up of assorted builders. The sound director is on lead guitar. The top of localisation is on vocals. Yoshida appeared as a particular singer, wearing a Kyoto-made Kimono with a white tiger emblazoned on it. There’s something surreal (and but very Closing Fantasy) about seeing the pinnacle of a studio performing what quantities to a really costly session of karaoke. However the crowd loves it. They’re one massive holler, signing alongside, glowing batons swinging in unison to tunes all of them know from repeated boss fights. The entire state of affairs could be cult-like, if it wasn’t so adorably geeky.
With the live performance completed, the fanfest is over and the cat ears have to be put away for one more 12 months. Closing Fantasy XIV might be not the MMO for me. However there’s extra taking place on the earth of Eorzea than I may have imagined. The worship of useless NPCs, the housing issues, the strangers cyber-rutting within the corners of fantasy taverns. But alongside all that intricacy and intimacy is a recreation that calls for the love of holy knights, barbarians and even catfish. Once I consider Closing Fantasy XIV any further, I’ll keep in mind the namazu. It’s massive, it’s barely unsettling, and I don’t actually perceive it. Nevertheless it makes lots of people smile.
Disclosure: Sq. Enix paid for this journey.

Note
Anchag, Name your muse’s ideal mount. Deepeye, Does your muse demonstrate self-awareness? Scathach, If your muse had servants, how would they be treated? Though for that last one, maybe more rather /would/ Eru ever have servants? Paid?
Anchag: Eru’s ideal mount is his Ishgardian War Chocobo, Hyperion. He is his dearest friend, and most loyal of companions. Eru loves his chocobo very very much, and Hyperion in turn loves his rider very much also! They are adorable. It is the purest friendship. The purest friendship Eru has ever had. A boy and his bird.
Deepeye: He does. Eru is prone to frequent bouts of self-introspection, and he is not ignorant of his failings and vices. However, despite this self-awareness, Eru is rather content with who he is. On the other hand, you could also say that because of his self-awareness he’s able to be that comfortable. Who knows?
Scathach: Eru has retainers, which sort of counts I guess? That’s a little different though. Regardless, Eru would treat servants with the utmost of respect, and pay them handsomely (much like his retainers). Eru has experienced too much of that particular kind of abuse to not treat servants with anything but his best. The idea of servants doesn’t really repel him, only the idea of people kept for servitude. Servants are (typically) paid. Of course, any mistreatment of one’s servants is enough to get on Eru’s bad side. It’s uncivilized.
