Ash received a message from the planet the Milan was berthed over. "Lord Finley, this is lord Zarath, I'd like to make use of your services." The voice was slightly sneering, exactly what you would expect of a noble on an important planet such as this.
- Noctine for Ash
Ash sighed the tone alone made him want to say no. This was exactly why he didn't usually stop by his more well off planets. He set a reply a few moments later. "What service exactly?"
I'm curious of what do you love about this world you have created.
Who's your favorite baron, and why?
Favorite district and why?
Any favorite scene you've written, why?
Favorite line, why?
Lastly, favorite side character, and why?
Oh this will be a long one so strap yourselves in. :)
What do you love about this world?
Is everything an appropriate response? LOL! In reality, I love the lanterns. I can see them so perfectly and they are a mood and a vibe that just brings me such a creative sense of comfort and drive. I love the idea that there is this nexus point out there where realities and worlds can converge and I love that no one quite knows about big the market is. Endless streets lined with stalls, all of which have these little tiny booths, feels like a homey world to me.
2. Who is your favorite Baron and why?
That is incredibly hard for me to decide because a few of the Barons are characters I have in other games. If there was one I would keep going back to it would probably be Chrysanthemum and Noctine. There is so much to their story that you guys don't know and I am a sucker for royalty fae romance which is exactly their origin story. So, probably the Book Barons.
3. Favorite District
The Ren District. I was a kid that grew up on the idea of knights and princesses. I took several college classes on King Arthur. I loved jousting tournaments at local Ren fairs. I watched Knights Tale far too much in life... I love that district with everything I have.
4. Favorite scenes
I have two. The first, being Milo and the MC dancing in the rain. It was 4 a.m when I wrote that and we had a rain storm outside our house. I could just hear it pounding on our roof and the entire time I could just see so perfectly in my head this golden rain coating the streets and Milo dancing through it without a care. It was the happiest I think I have seen him in this IF and it is one I hold so very dear to my heart. If you haven't watched Lumineers Ophelia, do it. It has big vibes for that.
My second favorite scene is if you go confess your love to Belladonna. She was real and raw in that moment and I heard her voice echoing through my head for days. The backstory that she has is so far removed from who she is now and her entire conversation with the MC felt so intimate without them even touching.
5. Favorite line
I don't think I have one, actually. But I will say, sometimes I go back and read passages and giggle to myself because there are things that I wrote that I don't even remember writing. So it's all new to me.
6. Favorite side character and why
Caliban. Hands down, Caliban. He is my everything. He is the voice that is manic inside my own head. He is my comfort character. He is my go to when I need a good NPC that will provide depth to any scene he is in. I play him in Dnd and he was one of those characters that the second he started talking, I just couldn't get him to stop.
