Hello, friends! It's meme day. We have a simple QUESTIONS meme today. This is an OOC one. The rrrrrrrrules (look, I watched Panty and Stocking today) are:

1) Tag in with your character(s?)!
2) Reply to someone else's tag and ask them a QUESTION about their character.
3) When you answer a question posed to you, you have to ask them a question in turn!

Vati doesn't actively worry about most things, but the thought's crossed her mind. Being close to the Mazda could be a problem if the Armaiti ever wanted to strike Safta in that fashion. She has doubts the Armaiti would give her the ultimatum because it has a chance to give Lera preemptive warning, but Vati would interfere. And then we have a problem.

But that's a death bridge to cross when she gets to it, lalala Mazda BFF

How sure is Lera of Iravati's loyalties if it ever came to a conflict of interest?

[firecracker_hopping]

Lera is pretty certain of them! Vati doesn't strike her as a political manipulator par excellence and she hasn't had a lot of paranoia bread into her. She does worry that Vati would be made to choose between her and the Armaiti some day, or that Vati will get in trouble and she won't be able to save her in time.

Has Vati seriously considered becoming a spellsword? Would she, if the Armaiti wasn't in the picture?

[assassinot]

Definitely a serious thought. She has come to the realization she will or would prefer to keep working for the Mazda. This is cheating/abuse of the system maaaybe a little. While Vati is not so into military lifestyles, this is mainly because she sees them as restricting. If she's with Lera anyway, then she retains the sense of freedom.

Likewise, she dislikes being an assassin because she can't leave. It's not even a tie that causes her problems, but the principle of it...! Thankfully, dad is not real, and she would escape to a different guild the moment it become available. It's more of a matter of which one, but then it would have been her choice and her excuses about slacking off wouldn't hold anymore. I would like to see Vati trying to dedicate herself to something more seriously myself, haha. (Also Gunnar took up shadow magic, which is why I enjoyed most about the assassin concept. :d;)

Would Lera regret losing what advantages Vati can give her as an assassin?

[firecracker_hopping]

Lera wouldn't really regret it. It definitely gives her some advantages but the idea of sending Vati to murder someone clandestinely sits very poorly with her. It's not even that Vati would definitely mind -- she even offered! -- but she's worry it could poison their friendship or make it a business thing. She'd rather be able to not feel guilty about what she has to ask Vati to do. With the spellswords, there's a military arrangement that makes it easier. Asking an assassin to murder someone is under the table and basically criminal.

Not to mention that her boyfriend's a paladin (THE paladin, in fact) and her best friend is an assassin. She worries about that too.

Will Vati want to meet Missie when the opportunity becomes available? Especially since Lera could set that up.

[assassinot]

So this is kind of horrible (or not depending on your opinion of players), but Vati continually forgets Missie is even a thing. Part of this is because of how Missie handled Iravati's awakening. Even before Iravati was awake/severed, Missie acted like they were already two separate entities in her interaction with other people. (Potion head!) At best Missie was some kind of parasite creeper who knows Vati's head inside and out, which would be terrible if it wasn't obvious Missie had no intention of controlling Vati in any way. Which is Vati's only concern in all this, really. Then the parasite got purged and is having adventures in another world. Bye parasite have... fun...? w/e

Relating Lera to Acher is another reason why she disconnects players/alts a lot. Acher is acting on his own, clearly, so the idea of connection just seems so flimsy to Iravati. She doesn't understand why she might be important to her own player, but she also does not register Missie as a threat. If the opportunity came to her, she'd be curious enough to see, but probably wouldn't think to do it on her own.

Does Lera ever wish Acher could find redemption instead of needing to be killed?

[firecracker_hopping]

Lera wishes Acher could be redeemed, a little. She still has some sentimental regard for him. A lot of that's been worn away by active efforts to kill her, though, and she sees it as impossible. She's given up on him; if it were to happen, it would have to come from him, because she's decided he has to die and will help make that happen (or do it herself, if given the chance). It's one of those things she'd like but thinks is impossible. Like winning the lottery.

How worried was Vati about Lera going off to fight a war god?

[assassinot]

Her thoughts started out with "Bye, have fun storming the temple!" Then she started slipping into the math of it, of how they have four + a construct. That is half a god against an entire god. That is not good math. But Xumurdad was the most powerful god? Or something? So maybe the values are off.

Whatever Lera will be okay.

Omg they don't even have a dedicated healer though. There's the Spenta. Lera and the Spenta sitting in a tree, Lera gets first heals maybe? Yes good.

But they're separated...

BUT IT'LL PROBABLY BE OKAY

Isn't Mezzron a wolf man? What if he bites Lera and makes her a werewolf? How does Iravati even understand that concept what is life

But then now she's really thinking about how Mezzron is a giant wolf god and Aerveas is the most bloodthirsty king and if Lera so much as slips up, they will run her through and tear apart her body and eat her eyes and OH MY GOD EATING HER EYES CANNOT UNSEE

Maybe she'll just burrito in like, all of the blankets at camp and make incomprehensible whines whenever the guards try to ask her something. A safe, comfortable burrito that shields her from reality until Lera gets back.

(She will act like psh obviously Lera is okay when everyone gets back. Why would Iravati be worried, she knew you could do it.)
