❣- A memory that leaves them laughing

“You can’t tell her but one time I did work with Juliet to turn a full wardrobe of Lux’s white dresses mauve.I just thought she could use a little more color in her life. Its almost always black and white with her.”

👻 AFRAID

Thomas is rarely in a situation that requires him to feel fearful. Pursed lips, furrowed brow, growing more pale. It is an emotion he does not wish to display if he can help it, but that doesn’t always work like we want.

"Humans and norn learn their first spells in the home, under the tutelage of their parents . . . It’s not uncommon for a toddler to begin showing signs of magical talent by creating illusions to entertain herself, putting up a crude barrier between itself and something threatening it, or producing water when thirsty. The early manifestation of magical abilities appears to be a survival mechanism." -Angel McCoy, Esprits D'Orr Interview. Tell me about Egan's first spell.

It was a pretty pathetic scene, and somewhat disturbing. A nobleman’s son had somehow gotten a hold of his father’s rifle and had shot a stray cat who had been sitting on the garden wall above the howling and barking dogs who could not reach. It fell into the street on the other side and yowled as it bled out. 

Egan was five at the time, and the cat, who he named Sam, was his closest companion, and his only solace from a world where he was born into servitude. Still, up until then life was simple. But life became cruel when he found the cat lying dead in the gutter. 

Egan threw his tiny body on the corpse and cried until his throat was sore. Both his parents, who served as butler and housekeeper for a noble family, were called to collect their child, who was distressing the lords and ladies walking by. 

As his father tried to pull the child away from the dead cat, Egan went almost hysterical, letting out such a wail of grief that rent his heart in two. As he did so, green tendrils of dark energy slipped from his hands and reached into the cat, making the corpse twitch and rattle to life, or rather, undeath. 

It was no sentient cat. It was a lopsided horror of uneducated necromancy, its yowling hoarse and grotesque, its eyes glazed over and discolored. Profoundly disturbed, Egan’s father hastily ripped his son from the zombified cat and handed the child to his mother, who carried the wailing and crying child off to the servant’s chambers. 

Egan never saw his cat again.

✕ - How do they handle rejection?

His smile is a thin one.  “When Cam left me, I didn’t believe her.  Even when she left town for the Settlement.  Even when she went through the Gate with the boy tugging at her hand and his other hand stretched out toward me.  I figured she’d take a few days, cool off, head on back.”  He snorts.  “That was near on two years ago.  So I guess I handle it stupid, because I didn’t believe she was gone.”

4. what seemingly insignificant memories stuck with your character?

(( For Polly ))Polly’s beneath a Seraph lover somewhere outside Beetletun, bored and irritated at having let matters proceed this far.  He was kind enough to set down a cloak, but he keeps driving her back so her head’s in wet grass, and the damp in the air creeps in where he’s pushed her long skirts aside.

The stars glitter overhead in a seemingly endless band.  As she feigns noises to hopefully hurry matters along, her gaze snaps to three distant points of light where the starfield is otherwise less dense.  She stifles a laugh; the stars’ pattern matches the opening measure of Diessa Blue, and to her delight, the old song’s notes continue in fits and starts across the sky. 

The sun won’t shine the day you go…  Her humming breaks Callum’s rhythm, but when he looks down at her, his red-faced befuddlement has somehow become endearing.  Her, “Keep going,” is more gentle than she otherwise might have offered, and for the rest of the brief encounter, she’s careful not to hum.

The sun won’t shine the day you go, the stars won’t light the night…

Years later, she doesn’t remember Callum’s name or his fumbling or the wet grass or the chill, but when she looks up at the stars, she’s never satisfied until she finds three that match the opening measure of her favorite old song.

✓ - How do they react to praise?

“Pass it on,” he says with a shrug.  “Look.  No one gets shit done alone. Fastest way to lose recruits – eh, house staff, these days – is to take the praise they’re due and act like you did it all yourself.  If people know you see it, they’ll walk through fire for you.  They’ll scale hills with elementalists pouring lightning down, they’ll run through fields of undead.  They’ll do squatted impossible things.”

☼ - Something that/Someone who makes them happy.

“Well, Keira obviously tops anyone else as far as who makes me happy,” Alissa responded with a gentle chuckle, her smile warming at the mention of her daughter. “However, I have a good number of friends who make me happy, too. Luxelen, Lucas, Jocelyn…Reed…Jovan…” she trailed off.

♒️ IRRITATED

Already answered so I will go with full blown angry. Jo throws fits and is prone to violence to release her feelings. She’s very much a brat when it boils down her her being angry. I blame being the baby of the family.

Adriwyn fidgeted, adjusting how she was leaning against the pillar, starting to chew on her lip as she pondered. ‘Eh. I ain’ sure if’n this really be one thin’, or no... but I’d change to ... well, to be able to see what others sees in me. I ain’ sure if’n tha’ means ‘avin’ more confidence in m’self, or jus’ wha’ - but tha’s what I’d change.’

36: Talk about your guilty pleasures.

“Well, we all know I am a Volundir for my drinking habit if by nothing else. But I also... have a well, Lux started me on them. They are trashy novels she gave me when I started to ask some questions she didn’t have time to properly explain.”
