wanna join the neverseen? we have baked goods

Tempting as it sounds to abandon everything I believe in and have worked to protect, I'm afraid I'll have to decline.

(Besides, my mallowmelt recipe is superior.)

WHAT DO THE MATCHING COUNCIL PJS LOOK LIKE THIS IS AMAZING AND ALSO HAS ORALIE EVER GIVEN YOU A MAKEOVER I BET YOU LOOKED FABULOUS

I refuse to answer either of these questions to preserve my dignity. (Though I will say that I have occasionally lost bets to her, and her forfeits do tend to involve makeup...)

[councillor-bronte]

(Ooc: not sure if this blog is still alive)

when was the last time you cried

That is private business, excuse you. When Oralie gave me an alicorn plushie for my birthday. It was very sweet.

[councillor-bronte]

Who are you, again?

According to the children, 'that cranky old guy on the Council'. According to Emery, a 'grouch who keeps undermining the Council's unity'. According to everyone else, Councillor Bronte Pyren.

Craziest thing that happened today?

Zarina and Noland decided to try their hand at some advanced alchemy. I believe the gnomes have just about managed to repair the damage to Noland's castle....

WHY IS IT SO LONG

Why is what so long? Elaborate.

[councillor-bronte]

What would you do if you were Hades

Rule the land of the dead, obviously. What else would Hades do?

[councillor-bronte]

What would you do if the multiverse crashes on your universe

Die, probably. That, or meet alternate versions of myself and commiserate with them about the fact that we're all surrounded by idiots.

After you inflicted on Sophie in the first session did you ever think you were to harsh on her and your expectations of her?

Of course I did. I've even admitted to her that I was less than fair to her in those early days.

Still, Sophie will have to learn that the world is very often harsh, much as I would also like to support her through her learning. I like to think I treat her much more fairly nowadays, for what that's worth.

[councillor-bronte]

Do you have pyjama plants with tiny unicorns on them?

Don't be silly, I have far more dignity than that.

[councillor-bronte]

can I call you bronte brother of bleh??

No.

[councillor-bronte]

So what tittle would a person bear if the were nonbinary and where an emissary or regnet and they didn't feel comfortable with lord or lady? Would it just be like emissary and then their first name or regnet and then their first name? Have a beautiful and stellar night or day

Honestly, this hasn’t come up too much; I have a feeling a lot of people are closeted. If it did, I think it would be perfectly reasonable to address them as “Emissary [last name]” or “Regent [last name]”. Honestly, we should just switch the terms over to that. Lord and lady are unnecessarily gendered and impossible to keep track of who has what position.

Favorite and least favorite outfit? Also, can you confirm that the councillors have matching pj's?

Favorite - This one particular black tunic and just about any of my pants, it’s the most comfortable outfit I own. That, or the jerkin I wore to my first ball as a Councillor, but it’s ‘out of fashion’ apparently. Double folds like that haven’t been in style for a while, I suppose.

Least favorite - this one ridiculously elaborate silver tunic that all the Council had matching ones of for a particular event. It’s a dreadful texture.

Yes, we do have matching pjs. 

[councillor-bronte]

If Dex hadn't cooperated with adjusting the ability restrictor would you guys have really exiled him and his family like you threatened or where you just bluffing?

I don’t like to think any of us would actually follow through on that, but I’m sure there would be some who supported the threat. Personally, I would have voted against exile, and I would hope enough of the rest would have voted with me to let Dex and his family off.

[councillor-bronte]

Did you ever suspect that Fintan was involved in anything illegal? (did he do anything weird)

No, honestly. Fintan is a very good liar, and after he stepped down from the Council...let’s just say he and I grew more distant. The last time I saw him before his arrest, I did think he seemed a little suspicious, but I never suspected the true scale of his crimes. it was a shock to say the least, especially knowing how kind-hearted Fintan was once upon a time.

Then again, that was a long time ago. He has changed much from the brother I knew.

[councillor-bronte]

What did you think when Sophie passed out only a couple moments after the first time the ability restrictor was on her head?

I thought “well we fucked up even worse than I thought”. 

Banning or restricting someone’s ability is not a position I had ever hoped to find the Council in, especially not after what happened with Fintan and similar proposals about my ability in my youth, and Sophie passing out only intensified my concerns. 

[councillor-bronte]

How did you know that Oralie was Sophie's mom? Like when did she tell you?

(ooc- also I love your responses there so cool)

After Sophie and her friends were unbanished.

She told me she had considered telling me after Kenric died, but since I was still only beginning to warm up to Sophie, she decided against it. I will always regret that I wasn’t someone she was able to trust with that when she needed it most.

(occ: thank you!)
