for the w101 character ask game: 14, 26, and 45 for genevieve!!!

14- is it hard for your character to fall asleep?

not in the SLIGHTEST. i think this is purely an advantage to her being half qhat. that being said, she can only fall asleep if she's comfortable, and she likes to be curled up, entirely in the dark, and very warm when she's going to bed. one of my favorite hcs for her and bat is that he'll lay down and wrap her up under his wing so she has total darkness and warmth (:

it's also much easier for her to sleep during the day than it is at night. and waking her up is a total nightmare. do so at your own risk!

26- in a game of truth or dare, what would your character pick?

she's picking dare any day of the week. not only is she a wildcard that enjoys that kind of stuff, but she's not going to give anyone any chance to get her to divulge something she doesn't want to.

she's also a complete menace during truth or dare herself, and is always going to make the person she's playing with pay. this definitely stems from her never getting to do fun stuff like that while growing up and going... a little too hogwild with it.

45- how often does your character cry?

oh man... not often. she has a lot of trouble regulating and accepting her emotions, but she usually defaults to anger/hissing/whatnot rather than tears. growing up, she was taught as a hopeful member of marleybone's court that keeping herself poised and pretty was the best course of action, which didn't leave a lot of room for tears. that also helped her build up a lot of anger and resentment over the years.

that being said, if she does cry, she's almost always alone. and it almost always follows an outburst of anger that devolves into a very angry, emotional cry. i'd say this happens once every few months, just as a result of stress from her role as scion and all the trials and tribulations that come with it. someone catching her in that state is one of her biggest fears.

for the ask game!! 12 for Nora, 29 for Sarah :3

12: What kind of person can your character connect with?

Figuring out how to answer this question stumped me so hard. On the one hand, Nora in a vacuum is a rather social person. She enjoys reaching out to others, and will try to find some way to connect with anyone even if it's something as insignificant as sharing a single moment or listening to them speak or doing a favor. It's part of why Nora felt so at home in the Spiral at first, it was filled with people whom she felt she could connect with.

However nowadays,,, things are far more tense. First of all, Nora's reputation precedes her. Most people in the Spiral won't connect with her as Nora; they'll see her as the Wizard or any of her million other epithets or worse, as a villain who is supposed to be dead. Second, Nora has many traumas upon her shoulders that each contribute to her fear of reconnecting with folks in the Spiral outside of the Arcanum and some of her closest companions. She's used to the Spiral being dismissive of her (because of the whole reputation thing), she takes things too personally, she fucking DIED (basically) and had to claw her way out of the Abyss.

So in short... she can connect with anyone but it'll be FUCKING HARD.

She is working on it, though. Trying to reacclimate herself to being a person in the Spiral, trying to unlearn her hesitancies even though said trepidations protected her before. The Spiral is full of people, not prewritten NPCs anymore, which means there's hope for things to be better than they used to be.

29: Would your character ever drink pickle juice?

Sarah not only would, she regularly did before getting stuck in the Spiral. She acquired a taste for it in college. Though she doesn't drink it much nowadays in the Spiral, she does quite enjoy it still.

Spiraling in to Insanity Episode 2: The Pagoda of Harmony

This actually happened.

Congratulations to @sadkinggaming for coming up with Goobler for the Spiral equivalent of Google (because yes, the Gobblers are PEAK capitalist marketing mascot in-universe). This is what I needed to know that for btw.

Honorable mentions to @pinks-wizards for noting that it wouldn't be "the web" it'd be "the roots", to @khrysalisposting for spiral explorer instead of internet explorer, and for @dyvimwhitehart for firecat instead of firefox. You guys are all much smarter than me.

This isn't Melody and Benny's first adventure, and it won't be their last! I have a truly ridiculous list of material I can draw for them.

[dyvimwhitehart]

i gotta be the first to ask: ur wiz’s relationship w/ dyvim

send me an npc and i'll describe my wizard's relationship with them!

i never could have seen this coming tumblr user khrysalisposting...

with amber: to put it simply, dyvim is the second great love of amber's life and the one who restores her faith in the world/in her humanity. like many young wizard ocs, amber is at her lowest point when she enters khrysalis due to the fall of azteca. as if the loss of an entire world (and its denizens/culture) was not harrowing enough, amber's long-term boyfriend and arc 2 questing sidekick, a ravenwood classmate and master diviner named ethan, also perishes while trying to help aztecans escape. during a long, bleak break while the council of light finds a way to khrysalis, amber resigns herself to being alone forever. she resigns herself to, essentially, just becoming a weapon of war.

enter dyvim. the last thing she expects after saving him from roze is for him to stick around as an ally. she, in her isolation and grief, is simultaneously put off and intrigued by his loyalty, gregariousness, and charm. as they travel through the moon cliffs together, he slowly chips away at her walls, and they begin to realize how well they work together. when he is nearly killed by the broodmother, she forges on in his name. when he's able to be revived, she realizes she's in a lot deeper than she anticipated by how relieved she is to see him again. he isn't just another ally to her- as many before him ended up being.

cue amber burying any feelings she has for dyvim beyond gratefulness and friendship as much as she can for the sake of her mission. she can't afford to fail again, and she can't afford to lose another person. of course, this only half works... as they grow so devoted to one another that really anyone can see what's happening between them. still, they have an unspoken understanding not to push the envelope. amber isn't ready, and dyvim knows that. she may never be ready, and dyvim knows that.

before she leaves after morganthe's defeat, dyvim presents her a hand-crafted burrower's sword made with onyx. it's a token to remember him by, and one amber carries with her as her new wand for the future arcs. they keep up correspondence, which just gets more romantically charged with time, especially after they see each other again prior to karamelle. amber tries her hardest to shake her feelings for him, but finally admits to herself post-karamelle that she is in love with him.

she journeys to khrysalis prior to the discovery of lemuria for a burrower festival commemorating morganthe's defeat. during her stay, she and dyvim beat around the bush re: their feelings for a bit, but eventually have a conversation where they discuss what's between them (after amber grows jealous upon hearing he has been courted by others in her absence). amber remarks that, as long as she is embroiled in her work as scion, she cannot in good conscience begin anything. dyvim respects this, and offers to wait for her, which she tells him not to, not wanting to keep him from possible happiness. he waits anyway, even if only absentmindedly, and they keep up correspondence.

their feelings for each other become common knowledge to the denizens of bastion and those close to amber (such as mellori, bat, etc.). still, as of arc 4, they remain a bit more than friends. perhaps a reunion in selenopolis could change things, but that remains to be seen.

putting genevieve under a read more bc this got LONG...

with genevieve: if you're still here, now for something completely different. genevieve and dyvim are... fire-forged friends. to put it quite frankly, she wants to dislike him a lot upon meeting him. she thinks his constant good-natured attitude is annoying, and that he must be putting up some kind of front like everyone else. a lot of this stems from her own narrow worldview, as she believes that no one actually wants to be a hero, they just want the praise that comes with being one. she tries to shake him off in the beginning of their journey through bastion and the moon cliffs, and he makes it very clear that if she's the one that's been sent to save khrysalis, he is not going to leave her alone.

the irony of this is that they have pretty similar fighting strategies. while dyvim is a bit more dedicated/lawful than she, they're both very gung-ho and enjoy charging headfirst into battles. this is how they bond. when dyvim is poisoned, genevieve vows revenge on the bees because she wants to believe that he'd want to be avenged. she goes through the motions of saving him because, while she is self-centered, she knows he has good intel. the first thing he does upon seeing her again is tease her for taking the time to save him, which she thinks is... actually pretty funny.

they have a mutual respect and mutual annoyance of one another that leads to bickering and tag-teaming others alike. when they're in-sync, they're very in-sync. when they're out of sync, it's always a narrowly averted disaster. still, when she goes to leave khrysalis, she tells him that she thinks he should become king of the burrowers someday.

@khrysalisposting OH this is fun. It'd be easier for me to go from Nyghtwing to Great Spyre but since you said it the other way around thats the way I gotta go <- self imposed rule

Location: The Great Spyre -> Reagent:Deep Mushroom -> Location:Zanadu -> Creature:Nyghtwing

wait that was ridiculously easy what do you MEAN deep mushrooms can be harvested in Zanadu. I anticipated going through Aeriel Shores or something but. uh.

lol. 3 wiki pages

you know that one game people play where they try to go from one wikipedia page to another JUST by using the pages linked in the bodies of the pages?

i wanna try that with the wizard101 central wiki

someone give me 2 pages on w101central and i'll try to find a path between them
