"It's not supposed to be a leading question." Fadran reassures her. "Names, identities, Spirits... they're what I specialize in.

Negative_Null They/Them Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Quote It sounded like you were just talking to Fadran. He did, the author is just a moron. You said "The Fox hands over her two knives to Fadran, and then makes a motion with her finger to turn around." Edited August 23, 2020 by Negative_Null

"Names, identities, Spirits... they're what I specialize in. I try my best to learn about others--or help others learn about themselves." "Ah." The Fox didn't know what to think about that. Nobody had ever wanted to learn about her since Alice. What should she do? If she started thinking about the broken-ness of her life, would she return to that cold un-escapable well of emotion? No. She would not return. The Fox returned her gears to neutral. "So, what have you learned of me so far?" What, whaaaaaaaa? She literally had just decided to not talk about herself or her past! The darned mouth of hers had a mind of its own when she felt comfortable. Is that what she felt around these people? Comfortable?

"What has happened to you in the past has shaped you to be the way you are now. Particularly, you're hesitant around things you don't fully understand; including us. You... also try to hide. Not from others, but from yourself. There are things you fear you can't escape."

She realizes she never got her knives back from Fadran. She reaches out to take them. "Hm. So who are you, Fadran? What past events have shaped you?" Edited August 23, 2020 by Scarletfox

She realized she never got her knives back from Fadran. She reached out to take them. "Hm. So who are you, Fadran? What past events have shaped you?" Fadran hands her the knives. "Me? Oh, I'm quite complicated. I wasn't much of a real person for awhile: spent my life flitting from one leaf on the wind to the next. I started finding out who I was when I started studying some ancient magical arts: Spiritcalling, in particular." He realized that she probably had no idea what that was. "Oh, uh... Spiritcalling is a thing I do where I look into your Spirit and... well, tell you about yourself. I've done it to a few people here--it's something I try to avoid unless someone asks me to do it for them, though I do like collecting their names." He pulled out one of the names written on a piece of paper from his pocket: his most recent. "My life got really confusing after that; there was this deity guy I Bonded with, a couple wars I fought in, explored the Macrosmos. Sufficeth to say I could be here all day just trying to get through all that. "You're asking who I am now, though." Fadran says. "I'm... not actually sure. Recent events have shaken me, taken the sculpture I thought was finished and changed it. I've been subconciously trying to find out who I am right now, but it's complicated enough that it'll probably take me awhile." 1

KyL Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) @Channelknight Fadran @Nathrangking Quote I believe Nathan is telling Fadran of something called a ‘reality marble’, (I explained this to null on a PM before Nathan’s was ever mentioned btw) but by the way, if you want a spoiler read this Spoiler Are you sure? It has to do with Winter Spoiler I suppose I should tell all since I already told Null Spoiler Winter uses his own reality marble to travel But his is much more complex than Nathran’s, and he used many methods to break the system of... many things Edited August 23, 2020 by KyL

The Fox itched to pull out her knives and begin full out attacking these people. They were making her open up with them. She was bordering on vulnerability, and that was dangerous. How to respond to it? "I'm not sure," she said to quell the questions. But she knew the real answer. She would do almost anything. She had done almost everything.

Negative_Null They/Them Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Quote It's actually very clever but I'll explain it in character if/when it comes up "That hill up there will give us a bit of an advantage. It's backed up to the water so he can't try and get around us"

It didn't take a master Spiritcaller to see that she was uncomfortable... which only meant that Fadran, a master Spiritcaller, was very aware of this. "Your life is your own." He repeated.

Fadran prepares himself, closing his eyes and letting his mind slip from anything material. When the heat came, his body felt it, but not his mind.
