who? Harper Harris & Zhao Yiming [@imanniewan47]  where? Kardinal’s Music Room 7  when? Morning June 02, 2022 

Harper finds Yiming in one of the less used music rooms, the one tucked away at a random hallway meant to be a backup more than anything else. It’s a room she favors since it lets her work for as long as she wants without many interruptions, so she isn’t very surprised to find Yiming inside. She has dragged him there more than once, whenever they wanted to work through a song they were stuck in or a lyric that didn’t fit quite right. It’s private, not frequently visited, yet has all the components necessary for composing. The ideal place for people who are meant to not be seen or heard by others. The perfect place for a ghostwriter that isn’t meant to exist. 

Knocking at the door to the room, she opens the door and slips inside, letting it close behind her with a soft thud. 

“Morning sunshine,” she greets with a nod and a brief smile, walking deeper into the room and settling a bottle of water in front of him before stepping back and collecting a chair for herself. Settling down, she sets her bag to the side and takes the opportunity to take a sip from her drink as she observes Yiming quietly for a moment. The entirety of Kardinal had been bursting with rumors regarding Eeshika’s coming out stream, so it is not likely that he doesn’t know about it, but she also doesn’t know how to bring it up delicately. The whole ordeal had left her deeply uncomfortable, and she is trying to collect herself, trying to decide what exactly she is going to do to rid herself from the excessive adrenaline coursing through her veins. “Are you up for a jam session? Yesterday was a fucked up day, and I need to distract myself before I go crazy obsessing about the whole thing.”

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS

If someone was impersonating them, what would friends / family ask or do to tell the difference? (asking for a friend)

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS

If someone was impersonating them, what would friends / family ask or do to tell the difference? (asking for a friend)

If someone was impersonating Mercedes, her family and friends would have two methods to tell the difference. The first one would be having a long conversation, and checking if Mercedes begins to play with her hair or to fidget at all, because despite how serious she may appear, Mercedes is physically incapable of staying still. The other option is to put a rom com movie that has a lot of second hand embarrassment moments meant to drive the plot. If Mercedes stands up and leaves just as something embarrassing is about to happen, that is her. If not? Well, Mercedes would be incapable of handling all that cringe without leaving the room. 

If someone were to impersonate Outis? That is harder, because she tends to keep a bit more of a distance when on the mask. Still, most people that frequent her presence as Outis would have noticed that she cannot keep still, and that she tends to hum lowly as she walks from one job to the next.

THE MAJOR ARCANA, REVERSED

[JUSTICE] - What do they need to be held accountable for? What actions, if any, do they deny responsibility for?

[THE MOON] - What is one question they would do anything to get an answer to, no matter the cost?

THE MAJOR ARCANA, REVERSED

[JUSTICE] - What do they need to be held accountable for? What actions, if any, do they deny responsibility for?

Nothing, frankly. It is rather the opposite, actually. Mercedes takes too much responsibility for too many things that are not even her fault, and those that are? Well, she is not one to deny her responsibility whether the end result is good or bad, because she takes both victory and failure as a way to learn and improve herself. 

[THE MOON] - What is one question they would do anything to get an answer to, no matter the cost?

I am going to be a party pooper and say that while Mercedes is an incredibly curious person, she is also extremely aware of collateral damage so she would hesitate to get answers no matter the cost. Still, one of the questions that haunts her at night is figuring out why Grant Hearst resigned. It bothers her, not knowing if the conspiracy theories are wrong or not, because if he was coerced to step down, it doesn’t bode well for the future of permuted citizens in politics.
