If you’re not a romantic like you say, then how do you keep coming up with and giving people romantic ideas?
"I don't know. Maybe I'm some new kind of moron who knows how to do everything perfectly for everyone except for herself. You ever hear of an annoying backseat driver? That's me."
What's your favorite illness?
"Weird question, grayface. But to me? La grippe because it's the most fun to say."
Fuck, marry, kill: Lix, Daphne, and Naida
Fuck: Daphne
Marry: Lix
Kill: Naida
"I put way too much thought into this, and it still doesn't sound good."
Who on the ship knows your background? Is there anyone you suspect might know more than you or they have said?
"Daphne knows. Muffy and Hero have to know after fielding communications messages intended for me, but are polite enough not to ask. I suspect that at least Robin and Skylar know, but I wouldn't want to ask and open up myself to questions I'm not well-equipped to answer."
Favorite soup? Do you think cereal is soup?
"Oh, man, how could you pick a favorite soup? That's like picking your favorite child. Minestrone is speaking to me right now.
Cereal could be a soup, but that sounds like an argument I would come up with... Don't mess with me at my own game, okay buddy?"
Which relationship on the ship is your favorite?
"Mari and Elmo. Ali and Sky and Ellie. The twins and their silent little girl. Purely from a pet perspective. Love to see other people- not me- enjoy their animals. Elmo sure is a weird and cute little critter."
Best friend?
"Probably myself. I think the idea of having a best friend... I'd say Scout is probably the closest thing I have to one right now based on history. Or Lix? But... That's not the same thing as you're talking about. Guess I'm not built for best friendship either."
Favorite coworkers?
"Definitely Mari. Now that's a funky awesome coworker. I'd also say Zion and Robin are pretty cool too."
Who would you be willing to get closer to and befriend?
"Do I seem unfriendly or something?" Arys asked genuinely. "I tried to be friends with Naida, but I don't think our personalities mesh or something like that. Perhaps I'm an acquired taste."
Camp Rock 2 or Descendants 3?
"...Descendants 3 has to be better than whatever that shit film is I watched with Theo. It's a low bar. I haven't seen it, though. So I hope I'm not wrong."
Have you ever had any sort of role model or someone you look up to? Do you still?
"Used to look up to my oldest sister. But we're nothing alike, so I grew out of that when I decided I didn't want to be her. Admired some of my teachers that seemed to be doing what they want. I think anybody who goes their own way is worth praising now."
Do you ever talk to your family anymore?
"I don't know if I'd call it productive 'talking' but I'm in communication with them. I went on leave from the ship for some of my siblings' weddings and births of their children. But I don't have an ongoing dialogue with most of them. On a rare occasion, I'll have a mundane messaged conversation with my younger brother. But very rare."
How do you really feel about Lixiss?
"That I like spending time with her, and that she's super hot. If something more develops from that, that could be nice. If nothing more happens, then nothing happens." Arys exhaled slowly. "I don't know what's going to happen next, and I'm comfortable with that."
Oh, good! If Arys thought it was a level of difficult she was capable of, then it was definitely a level of difficult she was capable of. "Okay, that sounds really good then!! Um, when did you wanna get started?? Now? Or did you still wanna watch the show...?" They had originally come in here to watch a TV show, after all, but if Arys wanted to start with training right away then that would be okay too!
Arys furrowed her brow up for a moment, puzzled as to what kind of show could have been watchable. But Oh! Ohhhh, the mermaid show she had suggested. "Yes, I'm so sorry, let's go put that on and watch," Arys agreed, going to make sure that something actually got done as needed. She really needed some better focus sometimes.
A battle of convincing Daphne... yeah! That was a kind of battle that Mari felt okay with. "Yeah! Learning with you sounds like a lot of fun! Um, even though it won't be easy, that's okay! I can try really hard, I promise! A lot of things that are worthwhile aren't easy, y'know? And, um. Even if it's really hard, I think... it still won't be more than an amount of hard that I've been used to before? Even if it's in a different way. So, I think I can do it! Ummm, with you to show me, anyway, so... thank you so much!! This'll help you too eventually, right? After we convince Daphne? 'Cause then you won't have to do as much of the stuff that's only your job right now 'cause there isn't someone else to help?"
Arys didn't know for sure how this would go, but she could act a little more confident than she felt about being able to train someone up. It wasn't Mari- she just didn't know if teaching would be her best skill. "No, of course not more. It's a level of difficult that you're capable of, and I'll do what I can to make sure that we get you to a place where you can succeed in the job. Daphne will have to understand that it would be in her best interest to allow this."
Mari listened with rapt attention, hanging on to everything Arys was saying. It made sense, she was pretty sure. This did sound like something she could learn to do well, and it did sound like something that would be helpful for the Prosperity to have someone doing as their main job instead of just something Arys did on the side. But still. “We can really do this..?” It sounded so wonderful that she had to check to make sure. It wasn’t like she minded cleaning toilets and things like that in exchange for getting to live here… but if she could actually have *fun* in exchange for getting to live here… wow.
"We might have a bit of a battle convincing Daphne that you're qualified, but I'm relatively respected for my opinions, so I think we can see this through." Maybe that didn't sound persuasive enough. "We're gonna get you a better position. But it won't be easy. Are you prepared to do some learning with me? I won't recommend you if it doesn't work out. I think it will, but you'll have to try."
Details of the Noble Kingdom of Ruug as pertain to the Princess Ielytrov
Content warning: Mentioned past death of a parent, implied cheating
"Arys" is a family nickname that she has been referred to by anyone who matters since birth. If anyone calls her Ielytrov, it definitely means that they don't know her. Arys thinks of herself by her nickname, and sometimes forgets that many people know her as something else.
Arys is the second youngest child of seven, and by far the most press-shy.
All seven royal children share the same mother and father and there are no illegitimate children. The only affair that the king had was with his current husband. Arys has mixed feelings about her stepfather since her father seemed to also love her mother (the late Queen)... But the Prince Consort Edneer has been nothing but kind to her.
There are royal family fans (if they can be called that) who catalog information about her, which she considers very weird.
Ruug is an Absolute Monarchy. There are courts and lawmakers, but the monarch holds supreme authority and can make laws as they please. Typically, the reigning King has been a fair ruler.
Ruug is considered relatively progressive, but inequality can be felt. Arys' mother was queen, but her stepfather will only ever be prince consort. This is despite both being of similar standing in the kingdom's nobility prior to marriage. Her father could change this, but he fears pushback from a vocal minority of the public who will only accept so much.
As a girl, Arys needed to learn crafts like needlepoint that her brothers never had to bother with. She wasn't good at them initially until she practiced enough to become so. Female children could still inherit the throne, but the path to that throne would still be different in training.
''Princess" and "King" and other similar titles were adopted in the 1700s to match that of the very-interesting Earth. The other titles that Arys carries (such as Rtisov) are ones that originate in her family's kingdom and don't truly have equivalents to things like Duchess or Baroness.
