"Don't chase the rabbit" (you may choose the type of memory)
The room smelled of perfume and cloves. No - it reeked of perfume, an obnoxious, artificial flowery scent that made Celes want to gag. Yet she didnât, staying silent as a maid re-entered the parlor with a silver tray of tea and biscuits.
"Ahh thank you!" The woman sitting across from Celes beamed at the maid, clapping her hands lightly together in delight. "This will do wonderfully, yes - that will be all I believe."
The maid curtsied and left the room swiftly and as silent as a mouse. The elder woman watched her go. âI believe sheâs the best one Iâve had in quite a long time!â
Marta Riener (surname Marquez), was a vivacious woman in her late twenties. She was and yet, she wasnât the conventional upper class woman of Vector. While married, she had yet to give birth to any children. No one knew quite why, but perhaps the oddest part of it all to many people was that her husband seemed to be perfectly fine with it. As far as Celes could tell, they at least still liked each other. They smiled and kissed each otherâs cheeks, constantly going on trips to their summer beach cottage in Albrook or their apartments in Jidoor and dropping their cat off for Cid and Celes to take care of. Only four years old upon first meeting the ragdoll cat, Parvati seemed to take a shine to Celes. And Celes, having recently gone through her infusions, quietly let the cat enter her life. It was partially because she had no idea how to not deal with the cat in question. She grew used to her, and in turn, became quietly fond of her.
That was, perhaps what first caught Martaâs eye. It was Celesâs guess at least. The Professor made it a habit of not conversing with his family except for New Years celebrations and major national holidays. He despised them, muttering something once to her that sounded like he was becoming disillusioned with the upper class. And the Marquez family was one of the most important lines in Vector, having produced geniuses that served the Emperor in his works for generations. Cid did, however, interact more regularly with Marta. She was his youngest and only sister out of the four Marquez siblings, and she appeared to have a silent understanding of Cidâs distance with the rest of their family.
Celes did not formally meet Marta until she was eight. It was then that Cid spun the tale to his sister that she was his adoptive granddaughter, enrolled in private education sponsored by the Emperorâs funds.
It was an ironic half truth.

((Totally gonna do this? But Truth Serum, how attracted was Mordy to Freya and I shall give an answer in return??))
OOC; Ahahahahaha, oh nice~.
And, hm. Iâm trying to think, butâŚI think Mordecai only truly started noticing Freya as being âsignificantâ and âabove and beyond the restâ after he started dating Lilith. That combined with Freya being married herself meant he didnât think about her in that kind of way.
However, there was one occasion that was the exception to the rule; when Mordecai spotted Freya in that revealing outfit (from the reblogged fanart) and promptly teased her about it. Because of the way he is Mordecai didnât really notice how âattractiveâ Freya mightâve seemed but he did realize then and there for the first time that heâs genuinely happy to joke around with Freya, driving her to either exasperation or excess of like smirking. With that in mind, he privately reasoned that, had it been another time, another place, he might have been inclined to gravitate towards Freya romantically.
And you may answer in turn if you so wish~. <3
OOC: GOOD FREAKING-?!
DANGITALL MORDECAI YOU JERK!!!
OOC; ahahahahaha how is he a jerk for being smart enough to point out he looks similar to Amarant in the first place~?
But he knew it. He knew Freya was sometimes sweeter on him because of the resemblance.

(As you said, Borderlands!freya as a married woman, and Mordecai as a taken man, it was the like with Freya.
In meeting him, she, of course, wasnât appreciative to be referred to as a rat.on their first meeting. As time goes on, Freya had felt a bit of a kindred spirit after every interaction theyâd have. She never really realized he reminded her of Amarant until he teased her about her compliment to him that one time he had removed his mask (From when they were still pretty new with eachother)
Mordecai had always felt like a friend she could simply sit and have a beer with without really caring about anything. They could talk about socks, and sheâd enjoy it.
As for when her attraction to him began, or more like when she realized it, was actually, around the time Mordy had compared himself to Amarant. It was like she was saying
"Donât be ridicu-WaitâŚ.oh⌠BLAST IT ALL!!"
So yeah, it was actually pretty early XD
OOC; MORDECAI FUCKING KNEW IT.
HE SO KNEW IT.
WOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~.

[[Truth Serum: Which was the more heartbreaking loss for you: when you had to leave Celes in your death the first time, or when you lost Kefka as a respectable man and ally long before he killed you?]]
"This might seem somewhat surprising, but â the latter. Leaving Celes alone to the travesty Kefka was making of the world was heartbreaking, donât get me wrong, but remember I did teach her everything she knows. Celes is very capable, andâŚitâs not as if I didnât manage to come back for her anyway.â
Heh.
"Iâve always trusted that, come what may, Celes could take care of herself. Losing Kefka, on the other handâŚlosing the man he had beenâŚhe'd been someone irreplaceable, like Celes. And in his place, Gestahl rendered unto the world a monster. It was a tragedy, and weâre still reaping the consequences of it. Knowing that a man I admired and respected has been reduced to such, and that his fate could have been avoidedâŚthe knowledge haunts me, even now.â
All of them; Celes, Kefka, TerraâŚall of them could have had better lives if not for Gestahl. Couldnât get much more basic than that.
[[Truth Serum: Do you think you caused Celes' general callousness and ineptitude at dealing with personal relationships in some way?]]
"âŚIâ?"
Did he?
The man actually fidgeted in place, looking extremely uncomfortable. He is and will always try to be utterly honest with himself on the subject; heâd never planned to divulge that information until now, however. How to put it though? Would it be seen as an excuse?
"I didnât cause it so much as I was unwilling accessory to it," he admitted. "I never, in my heart, approved of Celes being forced into service. She was just so young at the time, but she was also a prodigy gifted with magic. âMagicâ made her into a commodity Gestahl thought to shape however he liked without a single thought spared for her welfare otherwise."
He nearly spat out that last part.
Oh, but did Leo have lots of things he could say about Gestahl or Cid; he didnât particularly care for either of them. He truly hated Gestahl now, and Cid had always struck him as being an especially amoral individual. Both had played a large part in emotional problems Celes continued to wrestle with, but thenâŚthe question hadnât been about them. It was more about his part in it.
His mouth pursed into a thin line, though. When he thought about it, the question itself was almost a bit too harsh; Celes could be callous, but she was still capable of considerable compassion. She could occasionally hiccup in interpersonal relationships, but then who didnât?
No. The woman whoâd blown the whistle on Domaâs poisoning, only to be silenced, was hardly as callous as appearances implied.
He sighed, forced to ignore that point in favor of the bottom line. âThe life of a child soldier left a mark upon her, there is no mistaking that. My role in it is a source of personal conflict and guilt, that too you can be sure of; under the circumstances, I tried my utmost to help Celes adjust to the situation. I taught her, and occasionally I was strict with her so that she might learn better to respect those circumstances, but she was never without my support or tacit love and respect. My true guilt stems from wondering about the âwhat ifâ; my former fiancĂŠe tried so very hard to convince me that we should simply take Celes and abdicate. I refused, mostly because I was worried that we would be summarily caught. I couldn't be much help to Celes if I was put to death for treason.â
Leo bowed his head.
"Of any role I might have played in the disservice done to Celes, I played the role of he who stood by and did nothing."
"How do you do, Sir Leo?"
"Truthfully? Tired. I hope that you fare a bit a better?"
"Must I speak with honesty, or do you endorse polite conversation beforehand?" She asks with a smile.
"Oh...whichever you prefer, m'lady. Woe betide me to coerce you into divulging details you'd rather not."
"How do you do, Sir Leo?"
"Truthfully? Tired. I hope that you fare a bit a better?"
TRUTH SERUM - MY MUSE HAS TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTION REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS.
OOC; Updated Shock Headcanon
Delving into the allusion of Leo possessing "the qualities of a paladin", Shock is an sword technique (or "swort art") commonly used by an ancient order of warriors (called "paladins") who existed a millennium ago during the War Of The Magi. As befitting the setting, paladins in history were seen as the champions of man and, for the most part, their number opposed the use (and abuse) of magic. To them magic was seen as an evil that brought ruin to the world through the espers' presence and the magi's lust for power. Essentially they were crusaders, dedicating themselves through oath and order to the vanquishing of magic. Most paladins sought to slay all magi and espers; a rare few who splintered off from popular thought during the course of the war saw the truth to the tragedy of the situation and fought for a more idealistic cause as the only humans to aid the espers in the ancient conflict. (e. g. It's the inverse of Odin aiding the humans in the underground castle).
Shock, one of many sword techniques employed by the paladins, was a means to "use magic in combat without actually having magic". In function a practitioner of Shock is essentially pushing the residual magical energies of a discharged spell (double for blocked or evaded spells) back upon the enemy. Thus, Shock is designed to be dual-purposed as it is both a defense and a coordinated counterattack against magic (most paladins had an unusually high magical defense or rate of magical evasion). It is also, incidentally, the means through which a magicless warrior could harm that one odd enemy which is vulnerable to magic but resistant or immune to physical blows. In theory, Leo could use Shock in the Fanatics' Tower without much of a hassle.
Because Shock requires the presence of discharged magic, or at least a potent magical aura, if there is no magic in the area whatsoever then Shock will not produce any effect at all.
Towards the end of the War Of The Magi it was the paladins who finally drove the espers to flee for their fashioned realm and, again, drove the magi into hiding. Many people of the southern continent are the descendants of the paladins of archaic times, though knowledge and tradition has been lost to the ages. Only one village still maintained old legends, folklore, and the custom of the "vigil" (to ensure that the espers "never came out"), until it was essentially steamrolled, the residents milked for information on espers and the War Of The Magi, and then converted into a base operations near the mouth of the cave leading into the eastern mountain range.
Leo was taught the technique behind Shock by a retainer to the Cristophe family who hailed from the east. As a young boy Leo didn't fully understand the purpose behind the technique his tutor had shown him (to the casual observer the form and movement to perform Shock would seem somewhat impractical). It wasn't until years later that, during a spar with a magiTEK inductee, he accidentally performed it under pressure. Leo was confined to quarters for a considerable period of time and interrogated on "what the hell he just did" as a result. Ever after it was the only considerable black mark on his public records; still a minor one at that. Leo would go on to instruct a select handful of soldiers under his direct command in the practice of the technique. His personal entourage was the intended "insurance" in case magiTEK candidates such as Kefka ever became too unruly.
In honor of Munday, the Muse will now tell everyone the answers to any questions they feel like asking about the Mun. In their own words. Whether the Mun likes it or not.
