What if you used your mage hand to paddle and I used my artificer glove, and I held your hand on the ride? What then?

Summary: Zoro, Sanji, and how they learn to be greater than the sum of their parts. Or: in which Sanji steps in front of Zoro again in Sabaody. They both get sent to Kuraigana Island.

High Priestess, Wheel of Fortune, and Strength reversed for Moxie!

The High Priestess: When has trusting their instincts paid off for your character?

Ehhhh usually it's a case of well that mostly worked out but it also kind of didn't. Did me best. Her goddamn fucking problem is that her instincts will be like hm this seems sketchy as fuck and her reaction will be okay i will simply outlast outwit outplay or whatever the survivor tagline is.

her chaos instinct has helped One (1) time that I can think of and that is her desire to follow along with the betrayers rise things like giving something of value and waltzing through a room to open a door.

The Wheel of Fortune: What are your character’s proudest successes?

BEE BUSINESS. god she is still the most proud of that. her little labels, sleepy bee, the people that she made happy with her little cart and donkey visits from small town to small town to bring around her goods. It was so fulfilling in so many ways. she never thought she would have something like that.

And much more recently. Making it out of the betrayer's rise successful, everyone alive, rift closed, and for the first time a hero? She was so scared to even go in there, the relief when it finally hit her was a hell of a drug (well also the alcohol was a hell of a drug). never would have thought she could DO something like that.

And find Strength reversed here ;)

this is in a scenario in which they've been, like, mind-whammied, and have genuine desire to fight and/or hurt each other. they will regret it afterwards but in the moment its NO HOLDS BARRED

emotional barbs are allowed. anyones guess as to whether the emotion will cut through the fog of war. plot convenience

Oak!! I want to know formal (whatever formal means for them), wardrobe, and change

formal: What's your OC's formal look? Do they like dressing up? Do they have different looks for different occasions?

Oak definitely enjoys dressing up, making and donning jewellery, mixing and matching items to make cool outfits, mixing and matching styles (zelek goblin, other goblin or orc clans' patterns and adornments and clothes, kryn clothes, etc). They put together outfits with whatever is available to them, and make a point of wearing plenty of traditional jewellery of their own making (or their sister's).

Their formal look for someone's wedding or graduation could be something like this (art whipped together in 30 mins)

But they definitely like playing around and could easily wear a dress or something very different from this too. Here is my Oak wardrobe pinboard.

wardrobe: How big is your character's wardrobe? Do they wear things threadbare, or can they afford new clothes often? Are they any good at mending and repairing their own clothing?

Their wardrobe is somewhat big, actually, but that's only because they share with other three siblings (currently)! The fourth of five siblings, Oak's clothes were always handed down from Kat or Zed, the twins (which works really well for Oak who likes both feminine and masculine clothes, tho Kat's were always in much much better state than Zed's) while they were all still growing. Since they've reached adulthood and all of the other siblings too, and most of them still live at home, on and off, they all share clothes. I can definitely see that creating some light hearted conflict when Oak was moving to Rosohna and wanted to take a piece of clothing Willow also likes a lot. XD

I think everyone in the Zahar family can sew and make basic repairs to clothes, including Oak, but Kat is probably one of the few who can actually make her own clothes. And I think Oak's dad can knit and make embroidery, so quite often Oak would get their help to fully remodel an item of clothing, or to add traditional patterns to clothes they bought in Rosohna.

change: Has your OC ever drastically changed their appearance? Significant haircuts, big tattoos, complete wardrobe swap, etc? Why? How do they feel about the change?

I really wanted to give Oak a tattoo, but I only thought of the design after our Have I Ever Game in canon (in which they said they had none) 😞 maybe they'll get it in the future.

As for big changes... I think Oak kept their hair at shoulder-length or shorter for most of their childhood and early teens, but then they decided to grow it out and liked it long. The face piercings were also a big appearance change, and they're particularly proud and fond of them 😌

The closest to a "complete wardrobe swap" I can think of is how they had to buy more clothes for themself during the years in Rosohna so that means they added a lot more Kryn clothes to their wardrobe (all very simple, working class stuff), but you bet they have already made adjustments to all of those clothes to make them more them, more vibrant, more goblin. 😌 So they're no longer boring or simple.

for moxie: empress reversed, death reversed, world reversed. for renata: star, chariot reversed

For the artist formerly known as [redacted], Moxie nolastname:

The Empress in Reverse: When has your character felt dependent on another?

ahaha omg wow you have found The Thing. Very easily dependent on another actually. Home life: shit. Just wants to feel like at least someone is looking after her. Ran away from home, fell in with a couple of teens that promised shelter as long as she contributed money and they got her hooked up with running scams and grifts and thefts with them, did not feel she could make it on her own, despite it not being a very *nice* situation stayed with them until the great Badgering incident of [insert date here].

Ayla entirely yes. Moxie started a whole ass business and still only saw herself as being able to have any of it because of Ayla - her home, her gardens, her rescue. Without her what would she be, where would she go.

Duvessa. The only source of her power. Is totally "looking out for me" and "protecting me". Where would she be without her lending powers, how would she have gotten this far without her. If she didn't have Duvessa she wouldn't be capable of anything.

Death in Reverse: When has your character tried to fight change?

Uh? Right now? Actively? The battle between letting Duvessa take away her emotions vs actually processing and learning to accept her own grief. She's in a change phase in her life right now and really hasn't just fully accepted what's happened and what that means. It is an ongoing fight and i fear for anything that may trigger another relapse with this shit.

The World in Reverse: What is your character holding back?

The truth. How many lies she's told herself in the course of making it this far in the adventure.

For Renata Calabria:

The Star: When has your character been most hopeful?

three months after they parted ways, agreeing they wouldn't see each other again, Ari saved Renata's life. A mere 24 hours after nearly dying, Ari forced a confession out of her (oopsie) about how her last partner in the Crows died. They thought it was about like, work partner, but it was her partner, and her lover, Carmen. And she had to admit to killing her own lover. Renata did it. Then got essentially promoted for it.

And she's hated herself for it ever since. but Ari heard it and was the first to tell her that it wasnt her fault, that they wanted to be with her, and that if she ever wanted to talk about it, they would do their best to listen. turned out, she wasnt a completely unloveable monster after all. brought hope for a future where she wasnt as lonely as she had been the last 3 years.

The Chariot in Reverse: When has your character’s pride or arrogance been their downfall?

Re: Carmen. See, the guildmaster told her that carmen had betrayed House Calabria. He lied to her. it wasn't the whole truth. He wanted to see what she would do if she didn't know that they knew she had a romantic thing with carmen. and renata believed him fully, thinking herself the perfect crow but carmen the one to slip up, the one to get angry in training, to complain the loudest. she never thought they actually could have been caught by anyone. it didnt cross her mind. this was carmens own fault and she was pissed at her for it. how could carmen do this to her.

and it was in her own arrogance assuming that she was somehow better, smarter, more loyal, that she bargained additionally to get to train under the poison master of the house in exchange for her help. if she had to do this then at least let her get a reward she deserves. it would be hard on her, but she was a perfect crow, and she still would be after this.

yeah too bad she found out after that carmens betrayal was getting blackmailed. and the blackmail worked because she would do anything to protect renata
