Honest Q&A: Round 4! 7x7 Table

Looks like everyone came this time! Good! I am happy to see that you all have taken an interest in these!

Well, right to business then. It looks like our readers picked something of an overarching topic today. Let’s see how this goes...

 Faith is a belief in the right things. Who or what would you say you have the most faith in?

Maeryn: “I have faith in my family. They have been through so much and continue to work hard to keep all of us going. Especially my Father.” Helene: “Mine does too, Mae. I have faith in my friends. Lloire, Ikara, Destiny, Soren.” Silone: “Did you just say Soren? I am moving seats again. I have faith in my sister, Aeritria. And my knives.” Aeric: “Wait…you are Aeri’s sister? Yeah, we both are movin’ seats. I’ve got faith in Gideon, my brother. Also in th’Siren. She carries us through tough shyte.” Sunny: “Bear has faith in the Twelve, yes he does! Oh, you mean me? I have faith in ….my bow! It keeps me alive, yes it does!” Velestine: “People. I believe that anything and everything can change if we get behind each other. Sometimes, even the most dangerous ones will surprise you.”  

Pride is an excessive belief in one’s own abilities. In what do you take the most pride? A particular skill? A remarkable achievement?

Maeryn: “I take pride in the small miniatures that I craft. I don’t know many people who do such a thing and so I…perhaps believe it is specific to me. Unique.” Helene: “Myself. I push my limits an’ like to test people who are bigger or stronger lookin’ than me, yeah? I don’t stop until I can’t move.” Silone: “Mmm, Pride. I am an exceptional artist and a master with a knife. How many people do you know than can fight in heels, hmm?” Aeric: “Yeah, ya really are her sister. I turned Captain at eighteen summers an’ been runnin’ my ship th’last five years. I know most routes through those waters better than any Captain I’ve met an’ I can do ‘em faster.” Sunny: “SHIP! I WANNA GO ON A SHIP! Row row row, your boat!” She bounces in her chair and then stills when Velestine places a hand to her arm softly. “Hehe! I got excited, yes I did! I can track and sniff out anything, yes I can! Let me at ‘em!” Velestine: “I missed you, Sunny. You warm my heart. I take a great deal of pride in my work. It takes patience and a little creative flare to craft potions and elixirs, but I have used that to help make soaps and lotions, teas, all sorts of things. I guess you could say ‘my craft’, actually.” Hope is taking a positive future view, that good will prevail. What would you say that you hope for the most?

Maeryn: “I hope that I can someday find a cure. But if not, then I wish to travel the world completely. See it all. Perhaps even have my stories on someone else’s shelf.” Helene: “Keep breathin’, mostly. Hope I can see my friends again. Stupid to wish for wars to be over because it starts another, every time. No one sits still, yeah?” Silone: “The slow death of anyone that sells people. I wish to rid the world of slave traders and their disgusting partners in crime. Maybe then some people can enjoy their life instead of living in fear.” Aeric: “I thought ya were scary before, but damn. I kinda like ya now. I hope to to fly, some day. I want t’rule sky an’ sea.” Sunny: “I hope for sweets, yes I do! If I can get sweets, it’s a good day, yes it is!” Velestine: “...I am going to adopt you as my own, Sunny. I hope for some quiet moments between the fighting. As Helene stated, it never comes to a close. Would be nice if it did but I am sure we would find a way to occupy our time that was just as destructive. So, I hope for peace, in small measures.”  

Envy is wanting what others have, be it status, abilities, or possessions. Is there someone or something you are envious of? It doesn’t have to be a huge all-consuming envy, even something small.

Maeryn: “I don’t envy anyone, really. Everyone has something that is different from another but that is what makes us so interesting.” Helene: “Feelin’ about the same on that too, yeah? No point thinkin’ on it. Focus on your sword and their sword, an’ nothing else.” Silone: “Pride. Envy. Starting to sound like sins in this list and I am very, very pleased over it. As for being envious, of course. We all want something someone has. For me, it’s a family.” Aeric: “Ya seem a lot softer this round. I envy th’Sky Pirates. It’s a bigger freedom to be up there an’ I want that too. Not t’mention they got a King I wanna meet.” Sunny: “I wish I was as BIG as a ROE so I could eat non-stop, yes I do!” Velestine: “I would cook all day for you, sweet girl. I would say that I am envious of…hmm, that is a good question, actually. Perhaps people who own their own homes. I have always lived with others and traveled the lands but havn’t had a place to call mine just yet. I would like a small house in the Shroud somewhere with plenty of room for my gardens.”  

Charity is concern for, and active helping of, others. Do you believe yourself to exhibit this virtue? Be it yours or another’s, what act or moment stands out for you as a charitable one?

Maeryn: “I help someone whenever I can, and I know a few others who do the same. I could stand to be a little better at it, though. Helene: “I gave most of my winnings and food to the kids and families in the camps outside Ul’Dah, while I was there. Do the same in the Reach too, yeah? Can’t give those, I give my time.”   Silone: “I hunt down those that sell people. I think that counts, don’t you?” Aeric: “Hahahahaha! Want somethin’, fuckin’ work for it. Not above helpin’ someone in trouble but handouts? No. Plenty of work t’find if ya look hard enough. I came from nothin’ and didn’t ask for anythin’ I have.” Sunny: “Oh! Oh! I always share! I also help people get where they are going, yes I do! I am a guide, yes I am!” Velestine: “I spend a lot of time with the orphans in the cities. I am fond of reading to them and I bring fresh baked cookies and muffins along in my basket each time.  I wish I could do more for them but sometimes time is more valuable than gold.”  

Gluttony is the desire to eat or consume more than you require. What is the one thing best guaranteed to show off your gluttonous side?

Maeryn: “Hmmm, I don’t eat too much to be honest. If we are speaking in the sense of food, that is. I am a glutton for stories, though. Could never grow tired of listening to someone speak of themselves.” Helene: “Shouldn’t eat so much of anything, yeah? Harder to burn it off. But if I go with Mae’s idea, I think I can’t get enough exercise. Just gotta keep moving all the time.” Silone: “Wine, to be sure. Always have a glass near me when I paint and pour one when I get home. Have my own little collection of them, as well.” Aeric: “Can’t stop myself when I get ahold of fresh meat. Bein’ on th’sea means nothin’ but jerky, fish, an’ the like. Get back on land? Goin’ t’hurt myself on some red meat. Answerin’ ahead for the the ball of energy, she is goin’ to say sweets.” Sunny: “SW—hey!” She giggles and swishes her tail about happily. Velestine: A soft slip of laughter is heard, and she reaches over to pull Sunny into a warm embrace. “Far too easy, sweet one. I myself can never get enough baked goods or delicious food of any kind. It is a wonder I keep my figure.”  

Fortitude is never giving up. With as many strong willed people as there are here, I imagine this will prompt good responses. What is it you would never give up on? Is it a person, a goal?

Maeryn: “I could never give up on my family. They do not with me, even if I am a bit of a pusher when it comes to some of the rules we have.” Helene: “I don’t give up in general. But…lately, it became a person. And I am shiftin’ my focus to be the best I can for them. An’ their goals. Shields protect those that hold them, yeah?” Silone: “I won’t give up on my sister. We spent many years apart and I refuse to let the distance keep us any longer.” Aeric: “My brother’s dream. Leave it there.” Sunny: “Never give up! Never surrender! Fight fight fight—Oh! Sorry I punched you, mister, yes I am! You are okay though, yes you are. I don’t give up, see!?” Velestine: “I could never give up on anyone. Especially not when they are hurt or in need. I have the stubborn soul of a healer and that doesn’t always win me awards with my patients or friends, unfortunately. But my heart will always keep me from walking away.”  

Lust is a powerful craving for things such as sex and power. Do you feel that you give in to those temptations easily? What do you lust after the most? Maeryn: “I uh, well. That uhm. That is a question. Mm, for the sake of graces, I will say that I pass.” Helene: “Shouldn’t let that distract you, yeah? I don’t seek either, but I won’t deny the first with the right person. Time and place.” Silone: “Mmmm, I knew this one was coming. I crave both. Something about the way you can take control of someone utterly in their most vulnerable state. Or overwhelm them in every way. Makes you feel alive.” Aeric: “…” He clears his throat. “Yeah, same.” Sunny: *She is just a fit of giggles* Velestine: Laughing right along with her for a moment, she soon composes herself. “I crave touch more than either of those. I am very fond of it and feel a deeper connection through the sensations either in my feet or my hands. Because of this, I am want to reach for people openly.”  

Justice is being fair and equitable with others. It is the guiding principle of certain Dark Knights. Do you believe in justice? Is such a thing possible in the world we live in?

Maeryn: “Yes, I do. We must have some laws in place or people would hurt one another without restraint. But it is not for me to make such a call and I know sometimes it should be bent. Perhaps I simply see it as a loose ideal.” Helene: “War has no place for that stuff, yeah? One side says it’s in the right, other says the same. You an’ the guy in front of ya both have family and loved ones to come home to. If you think too much on it, you end up dead or runnin’ yourself into the ground with guilt. Justice is best done by the moment.” Silone: “I make my own justice.” Aeric: “Eh, not all laws are good, Mae. Some are kinda outdated an th’like. Sunny: “I am always fair, yes I am! I split my cupcakes evenly, yes I do! Oh! You mean…oh okay I got it! I think. Uh, yes? Maybe?” Velestine: “It is hard to say one way or another, so I believe my answer would be flexible. It depends on the moment and what is happening and who was involved for me to say which I prefer. I will always believe that there must be a balance to life and sometimes we must take matters into our own hands to tip the scales back. And sometimes, we must leave it to others.”  

Anger is the loss of rational self-control and the desire to harm others. Are you one to lose control to your anger? What was the worst case of letting it loose that comes to mind?

Maeryn: “I do not lose my temper. I believe I have done so maybe once or twice but I tend to wish to speak before it escalates to that.” Helene: “Can’t let it consume you, yeah? I go the opposite when mad. I get quiet an’ focused. Like my blood is cold. But I don’t lose control.” Silone: “I am quite the same. I exude calm and patience when my anger is tested but I have lost it before. I once saw someone I cared for come to harm and I am not quite sure what happened after.” Aeric: “Black out anger. Yeah, if I wasn’t told, Aeri would be your sister. As for me? Taken my axe ‘an gun t’plenty of people. Takes hurtin’ someone I care for to get me full rage. So, they deserve anythin’ comin’ for ‘em after that.” Sunny: “I am never angry, no I am not! Someone upsets me, and I walk away, yes I do! I got angry before, but I threw the box out the window, yes I did. It was mean as can be and wouldn’t open, no it wouldn’t!” Velestine: “I have lost control once before and it was because of a very traumatic moment I was witness to. Like Helene stated, I am also a cold sort of anger when I reach that point. Admittedly, it takes a lot to get me there.”  

Prudence is care of and moderation with gil. This one is a bit simpler. Are you a gil-pincher or do you spend with abandon?

Maeryn: “I do not get out much, I am afraid. So, I would say I pinch gil, to be sure. My family is fond of saving and I believe I learned it from them.” Helene: “I don’t need much, yeah? Keep my armor in shape, keep my weapon ready, keep myself fed and clothed. Anything else is just extra.” Silone: “I live in a very comfortable lifestyle and enjoy keeping it up. But I earn as much as I spend. I won’t turn down a beautiful piece of furniture if I believe it will look good in my home.” Aeric: “You look th’type to spend money. I’m middle? Spend a lot on my girl, th’Siren. Not a lot on myself. Spoil her rotten, though.” Sunny: “I hold gil all the time, yes I do! Pinching it doesn’t do anything, no it doesn’t! Why would someone hold it all day? OH! Oh, I get it! I like to spend it on food, yes I do!” Velestine: “I don’t like to spend any of it, if I can. I would much rather make or gather the things I need and what I can’t, I will buy from local merchants first and foremost.”  

Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain. Some might think this goes hand in hand with prudence but that is not the case. Even those who string their gil-pouches tightest can be known for their charity or simply do not fret over making more gil. Are you a take-take-take sort? Is the gathering of wealth important to you?

Maeryn: “My family has always been ambitious, and I suppose I inherit that in a different way. Wealth is not important to me, but it is a part of my life. I wouldn’t be upset if we lost it by tomorrow.” Helene: “They can keep it, yeah? Not interested in fancy pillows and houses.” Silone: “My family was dirt poor. I fought to be better than that and I am now. So yes, in a sense, I am Greedy.” Aeric: “Yeah, guilty. I am all about th’makin’ of gil an’ the wealth of it in th’long run. I want an airship an’ all that comes with it. I give back to those that help me an’ hard work earns part of the take. But I don’t want to be piss poor again.” Sunny: “I’m not greedy, no I am not! My purse strings are tight though, yes they are! People steal! Mean mean people.” Velestine: “I…by the gods, you are precious. I myself am keen on keeping some savings for a rainy day but no, I do not consider myself to be the greedy type.”  

Temperance is moderation of needed things and abstinence from things which are not needed. In essence it is the opposite of gluttony. Is there anything that you find you abstain from that you wish you did not?

Maeryn: “No, I wouldn’t say so. I enjoy every little moment I can.” Helene: “I wish I was better about bein’ touched. Most of the time, my muscles lock up.” Silone: “Something happened to cause that, I imagine. I abstain from being emotional about things.” Aeric: “Nope. Do what I want, when I want.” Sunny: “Me too, me too! I like to do everything, yes I do!” Velestine: “I would like to be better about some things but overall, I wouldn’t say I hold back too much.”

 Sloth is laziness and the avoidance of work. Somehow I don’t see that being of much concern with this group, but what would you say is your laziest habit?

Maeryn: “Oh, I will pay someone to run a package down to the moogle mail carrier instead of taking the stairs myself. I am sometimes winded easily.” Helene: “Just need to run more, yeah? I could be more lazy with things but that kinda ties into the last question.” Silone: “I would rather pay someone to clean the gallery instead of doing so myself. I have often also had things delivered which would have taken me less time but, why waste my own time?” Aeric: “I let Gid handle organizin’ the cargo. I am shit for organizing anythin’, really.” Sunny: “I like to take lots and lots of naps, yes I do! I wake up SUPER early but I nap so many times. Unless we are moving and then I can’t, nope nope nope!” Velestine: “Hmm, I would say I enjoy naps as well but that is only due to my horrible habit of staying awake through the night most days. But I would much rather let someone carry something for me than do so myself. A bag is fine but I will find someone to haul something large well before I attempt to do so.”  

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy days to give some insight into your inner thoughts for our readers. I know today’s questions were a little tougher than some of the ones before but I hope you don’t begrudge me asking you. Before you go, what do you all think of me?

Maeryn: “I think you are nice and I don’t mind them in the slightest. Look forward to speaking with you again.” Helene: “Nothin’ much to say! Don’t have a problem, yeah?” Silone: “I suppose you are all right. Could stand to have a nicer taste in clothes.” Aeric: “Do a fine enough job, I think.” Sunny: “Is that thing real?” She pokes the mustache. “IT IS! IT IS! IT WIGGLES, YES IT DOES!” Velestine: “Sunny, no need to poke the nice man’s face like that. I understand you are curious, though. Anyway, I think you are very patient and kind. Your genuine interest in us is impressive.”

Honest Q&A: Interview with a Muse 2! Group chat!

Well, this is an interesting group of people…right then….

What would you say is your spirit animal? Not a favorite animal, but a spirit animal.

Maeryn: “Interesting choice to start off with. I would like to say a bird of some kind, perhaps? I enjoy flying and a sense of freedom.” Helene: “Animal? I don’t know, some kind of…bear maybe? I get protective. Aeric: “I like the cute one’s answer. A bird.” Silone: “Try not to drool on the table, Pirate. A Spider.” Sunny: “I am a Miqo’te, yes I am! How much more animal can I be!?” *she growls and giggles*

Everyone has a favorite food, but that’s not always what you go for when you are upset. Do you have a comfort food?

Maeryn: “I tend to enjoy sweet cakes. Strawberries and a soft, fluffy white cake to rest on.” Helene: “Not really, no. I don’t eat when I’m stressed, yeah?” Aeric: “Those arms say so. I’m goin’ with steak.” Silone: “Mm, I suppose wine and cheesecake.” Sunny: “SWEETS! Though I am never upset, no I am not! I am sunny sun sunny!”

Some people drink to chase away bad memories. Others fight or find someone to sleep with. What’s your go to when you just don’t want to think about what just happened?

Maeryn: “I fall into a good book and tuck myself in near my fireplace. A story helps to chase away the thoughts and I find I melt into one of those characters to be someone else for awhile.” Helene: “…..I fight things. Or people. Sometimes both. Mostly work it out of my blood.” Aeric: “Ya both need t’get out more. I drink rum an’ find someone to work it out with.” Silone: “I paint.” Sunny: “I sleep with Bear! A nap does the body good, yes it does!”

What do you defend yourself with on instinct? Are you the type to rush forward with a fist? Do you always have a knife close at hand? If someone attacked us right now, what would you use?

Maeryn: “I would likely hide behind Miss Helene here. She seems strong.” Helene: “I wouldn’t let anything happen to ya. If I didn’t have my shield, I’d use my fists. Anything can be a weapon with the right leverage, yeah? Likely rush them first, too. I prefer to keep people safe.” Aeric: “I’d shoot ‘em. Can’t fuckin’ do anythin’ if ya don’t have knees.” Silone: “I have quite a few knives on me. And they would as well.” Sunny: “Danger ranger? WHERE!? I’ll show them, yes I will! Mean people! I would ask them to stop, yes I would. Bear says they get confused! But some are just too far gone, they are! So I shoot them with my bow!” What’s your favorite pastime when alone and when you are with others? Maeryn: “Sunny, you are the most adorable.” *She nods* “Alone, I read and write. Sometimes craft miniatures. With others? I like to…go on adventures. Find new places to see and things to do. I tend to become restless once I leave my apartment.” Helene: “Alone, I work out. Run. Practice with my sword. Others? Well….same, actually.” Aeric: “Alone, I whittle wood. Others, I am usually workin’ an’ runnin’ cargo. Gid an’ I go to th’Wench when home.” Silone: “Painting covers both, I imagine. Though I will say I have become fond of visiting a cabin.” Sunny: “I’m booooooooooored alone, yes I am! I like people, yes I do! Much more fun! We can play games, or eat, or talk, or sing! HEY! You guys wanna play something!?”

 Dream vacation spot and/or activity? Maeryn: “Such a good question. I am sure many would say the beach, but I would rather travel someplace I haven’t been before. So, I couldn’t give you a direct answer there.” Helene: “Someplace quiet. Not too picky. Maybe spend a day away in the mountains, yeah?” Aeric: “I’d head out to th’Ruby Sea an’ fish or swim.” Silone: “Smells like you have. I prefer staying home.” Sunny: “OOO FISHING!!! I wanna come! I like fish, yes I do! Bear might too!”

 On that note, how do you prefer to travel or get around this huge world we live in?

Maeryn: “I usually keep to Willow, my chocobo. But when traveling further away, I tend to seek an airship.” Helene: “On foot, mostly. Walkin’ is good for you.” Aeric: “Got a ship docked in Limsa. Soon enough, be flyin’ high in my own airship.” Silone: “Multiple ways. Whatever ends up being the quicker option at the time.” Sunny: “AIRSHIP!!!!!! I LOVE THEM SO, YES I DO—sorry, I stop yelling now, I do.”

Do you have an element you most connect with? The world is filled with earth, and wind, and fire. The elementals are a huge focus in the Shroud. But what about with you?

Maeryn: “I would have to say water. When faced with a problem, water cuts a new path and finds a way to keep moving.” Helene: “Lloire an’ Yuti would love you, Maeryn. Helfyre is a name I have an’ so I guess that explains a bit.” Aeric: “Add me on th’list of likin’ her too. Water. It’s a love of mine.” Silone: “Void. Shadows can be a comfort and a fear. Also, so very powerful.” Sunny: “You’re a very dark lady. But that’s okay! Bear says all things balance, yes they do! I like to connect with lightning! Makes my hair stand up, yes it does! Tickles too!”

What is your favorite smell? I know, kind of a strange question, but it comes up more than you’d think.

 Maeryn: “Old parchment and books. The ink staining them gives off a sometimes-metallic smell that wakes me up. Sort of like how Sunny explained. Helene: “Fresh rain. Especially in the morning.” Aeric: “I like th’ smell of fresh lumber. It’s clean.” Silone: “Leather.” Sunny: “Hmmmmmm. I like smelling things, yes I do. Strong nose I have! I like baked cookies! OH and pumpkins! They small strange but good strange, yes they do!”

How do you smell? Maeryn: “I have…never been asked that before, actually? Uhm, perhaps like herbs and books? I am around them so often…” Helene: “Clean, I hope. I bathe a lot. Otherwise steel and leather, I suppose?” Aeric: “Been told Sea n’ Sawdust but I enjoy a good smoke an’ rum so it depends.” Silone: “Likely akin to paint and perhaps metallic? I will have to ask.” Sunny: “WITH MY NOSE!, DUH!” *she giggles*

Who is your best friend?

Maeryn: “Best friend. I would have to say my youngest sibling Taylen. As for a favored friend, I would have to say Chadrick.” Helene: “Not family? Chance.” Aeric: “Gideon. Man’s a force an’ fuckin’ funny too.” Silone: “Mm…” Sunny: “BEAR! He gives the BEST hugs, he does! OH and he lets me braid his hair!’

If you had to settle down, what career would you pick?

Maeryn: “Writer. Or perhaps seek to catalog a library. But I would prefer to see the world long before I rest.” Helene: “Settle—” *She scoffs* “Nothin’ would change, yeah? Settle down…” Aeric: “I’d be dead.” Silone: “Same. Something we agree on.” Sunny: “I do settle down, I promise yes I do! Mostly when I am sleeping! Or when it’s quiet time! Oh! Oh you—right! I would be a babysitter!”

How do you want to die? Maeryn: “Happy. Simple an answer I could give.” Helene: “Fighting. Long as someone else gets to live for it. Call it fair.” Aeric: “Rich an’ grey on my airship. Surrounded by gil an’ friends.” Silone: “Is that a threat? Not at all.” Sunny: “I don’t want to die, no I don’t!” *She mews softly*

 If you only had a day left to live and can only do one thing before you die, what would it be and why?

Maeryn: “I would…likely spend the evening with someone. And read my favorite novel aloud. Connections are important, and life is fleeting. Shared moments make it worthwhile.” Helene: “That was beautiful. Mine feels dull by comparison, yeah? I’d find a good fight. Best way to feel alive.” Aeric: “Hand th’Siren off to Gid and swim down as far as I could go.” Silone: “Remove an old problem.” Sunny: “I would make sure Bear had company. He shouldn’t be alone, no he shouldn’t! bear needs friends!”

What do you imagine the future to be like?

Maeryn: “Unknown and wild. Perhaps new and exciting as people learn new ways of doing things. The world changing to adapt, of course.” Helene: “Maybe different? Follows a pattern of war and peace, yeah? Always more fighting.” Aeric: “Successful, least for me.” Silone: “Perhaps less questions.” Sunny: “EXCITING I HOPE! YES I DO!” Tagged By: @peacekeeper-xiv (HE MADE IT) Tagging: @devil-you-know and anyone else!!!

Honest Q&A: Around & Around we go! Part 3!

W-Well…it’s good to see all of you again. No one new?

Velestine: “Greetings! I am so sorry to be late. Is this where the interview is?” Spoke too soon. Uh, please…have a seat. It is just a series of questions our readers have come up with. I hope that is alright. Velestine: “Lovely. I shall just sit right here next to this sweet girl.” Right. Happy to have you!

 Alright. Well, now that we have that settled, let’s get into the list of questions our readers have, yes? Great.

Imagine a future point in your life where all your dreams come true. It’s the greatest moment in your life and you get to experience it with -one- person. Who’s standing next to you?

 Maeryn: “S-Starting this one out strong, I see. I uhm, well. Mm. I suppose, for the moment, there is someone I have in mind, but I don’t wish to say. I should really speak with them soon, I think.” Helene: “Sounds like ya realized something just then. Good for you, Maeryn. Me? Easy. Wolf. And if not him, Lion. Aeric: “Th’fuck is it with animal names an’ this question? Gid.” Silone: “Remind me to change seats next time, please. You annoy me. My answer would be Mikh’a.” Sunny: “EASY PEESEY! BEAR!” Velestine: “It is like the room goes from night to day in one swift motion. That is amusing. I would have to say Vach. He is my guardian and well, if I am anywhere, he would be near.”

 On an average day, what can be found in your pockets?

Maeryn: “Much easier. I don’t carry much in my pockets. Mostly some gil.” Helene: “What pockets?” Aeric: “Smokes, matches, ammo, a knife, gil, some crumpled note for somthin’…” Silone: “Is that to help keep you from floating away? I carry quite a few variations of sharp objects.” Sunny: “Some caaaandy, fluffy stuff, uh a rock, yes it is! His name is Steve!” Velestine: “Small bits of flowers that I have come across and of course, some gil.”

 What’s a body part that you wouldn’t mind losing?

Maeryn: “I would rather not lose any piece of myself but if…if it came down to any one part, I would have to say my tail. While I need it for balance, it would be the best option.” Helene: “Need everything ya have, yeah? I’d go with a rib or something simple.” Aeric: “Simple. Th’little toe. Catch it on shit anyways.” Silone: “I like what I have. But I’ll take something of yours.” Sunny: “I like my body too, yes I do! It keeps me strong, yes indeed! I would give up one whole tooth if I had to! I got a whooooooooooole bunch left! Velestine: “That is a very smart idea, actually. I too would give up a tooth. A back one, though.”

 What are three labels that you identify with? Maeryn: “Friendly, Patient, Insightful.” Helene: “Hero, Stubborn, Loyal” Aeric: “Smart, Talented, Wanderer.” Silone: “Unpredictable, Dangerous, Calm.” Sunny: “Oh! Is this a game of three words? Up, down, tomorrow! Wait…OH! I understand, yes I do! Happy, Sunny—why can’t I use that? Ohhhhhhhh okay! Happy! Excited! Uh…what’s a word for scout?” Velestine: *Giggles* “I chose my seat well. I will pick Mothering, Gentle, Spontaneous.”

Do you believe in soulmates?

Maeryn: “I do not. I believe that someone can fit into your life a certain way to perhaps…exhibit similar patterns of being such but I wouldn’t put a strong term to that. Perhaps it is just my way of seeing life, but we are here to learn and grow from one another. And that is what a relationship should be. Not perfection and…I apologize. I was rambling. Please, Miss Stonefist. Your turn.” Helene: “No, no I agree. But Nymeia needs to be socked a good one to her face.” Aeric: “Hahahahahahahaha. Fuck no.” Silone: “Mm, agreed.” Sunny: “That is very sad to hear, yes it is! Love is beautiful! Love is what makes the world happy, yes it is! Soulmates are great! They are pure hearts finding one another, yes they are!” Velestine: “You are so …could I please hug you? Thank you. I believe that love is a string that binds people together. If it was fated? That I can not say. But I believe there are reasons to things we do.”

What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?

 Maeryn: “A large library with fully cataloged books as the sun shines through the window in the early morning.” Helene: “…Full set of new armor.” Aeric: “My ship firin’ all cannons at once.” Silone: “I am an artist. There is no such individual thing to be claimed as ‘most beautiful.’ Sunny: “A big….delicious…seven layer cake! With strawberries!” Velestine: “A field of wildflowers nestled into the Shroud.”

What single act are you most ashamed of?

Maeryn: “Mm, killing someone slow by choking them with ice. If…if he had called out, we would have been dead.” Helene: “Ya made the right call, Mae. I’m ashamed to say I once ignored a friend asking for help. They got hurt for it.” Aeric: “Nothin’ really. Don’t like it, don’t do it. Plain n’simple.” Silone: “Pass.” Sunny: “I forgot a nameday, yes I did. Was horrible….is was.” Velestine: “Oh sweetie, never change.  I once administered the…wrong potion to a patient and they ended up growing a beard. It was a woman, to be clear, and I was young.”

Everyone has disdain for something or someone.  Who or what do you consider yourself to be “above”?

Maeryn: “I try my best to understand and accept people for who they are. I am not above another in any such way.” Helene: “Comin’ from a Mhigan living in Ul’Dah? Fuck the rich.” Aeric: “Most people. Haha, kiddin’. Though th’Garleans can eat shyte.” Silone: “Slavers. Anyone that buys and sells people deserves a slow death.” Sunny: “When I climb a tree, I am above EVERYONE yes I am!” Velestine: “I want to keep you. I will have to agree with the other Miqo. Mae, was it? I do not like what some people choose to do but I wouldn’t consider myself better.” 

What do you wish you had more time for?

Maeryn: “Many, many things. At this moment? Traveling. I want to see the entire world.” Helene: “Travel gets tiring. Promise. It’s nice havin’ a place to call home, yeah? I’m good, though. Doin’ everything I want these days.” Aeric: “Swimmin’ ‘n’fishin’” Silone: “Painting. Camping.” Sunny: “CAMPING IS SO MUCH FUN, YES IT IS---I was yelling again, yes I was. I want to keep helping Bear so I want more time to do that! And sleep!” Velestine: “I would like more time to work on new alchemical concoctions. Unfortunately, I couldn’t remain locked in my room that long,”

 What are some skills that you think everyone should learn?

Maeryn: “Read, to be sure. Perhaps find a hobby of interest to take one’s mind off things. Beyond that, it is important to know how to hunt so if you are ever out in the world for too long, you must find proper sustenance.” Helene: “Fight. No matter what you have, someone else is gonna want it, yeah?” Aeric: “Agreed! Fight. An’ navigate.” Silone: “Stop talking.” Sunny: “SING! Singing makes everything better, yes it does!” Velestine: “Life skills are the most important, I think. Cook, sew, barter, forage, what have you.”

 How good of a dancer are you?

Maeryn: “What music is playing? I know a great deal of them and enjoy dancing whenever it is possible. Sometimes alone in my apartment.” Helene: “You might not feel your feet after.” Aeric: “Basic easy steps. Not goin’ to some shindig anytime soon.” Silone: “I would put most to shame.” Sunny: “I’m a great dancer, yes I am! I dance allllllllll the time, I do! EVEN while hunting!” Velestine: “I manage. Admittedly, I have not had a lot of practice.”

 Do you have any good luck charms or rituals?

Maeryn: “I do not, no. I find the idea of it intriguing, however. Would be nice to test that theory.” Helene: “Don’t trust that to get ya out of something. Fight for it an’ trust your skills through hard work and practice.” Aeric: “Got this bracelet her an’ thatis all th’luck I need.” Silone: “I put my weapons on in a certain order with a place for each one that doesn’t change.” Sunny: “I sniff everything, yes I do! The nose knows!” Velestine: “I tie my hair up when I need to focus on a tough task or situation. But I do not carry any sort of luck charm.”

 Worst injury you have had?

Maeryn: “I…well, I have broken almost every bone minutes a handful at this point. But I would say that the worst was when I came back from war. It took me a very long time to recover.” Helene: “Every bone? Fuck, Mae. I thought I was bad. Worst one was a broken leg and a few ribs. Got put in Bronze Lake for that one. Wouldn’t….say it ended up bein’ the worst thing.” Aeric: “Scar across my eye.” Silone: “Took a knife between my ribs.” Sunny: “I don’t know, no I don’t! I don’t think I have been hurt bad, not at all!” Velestine: “I have a scar across the top of my right thigh form when I dropped two connections off my table. It melted my skin until I could get something on it. I live with that reminder now but it makes for a decent conversation when I go swimming.”

 Who influenced your personality growing up?

Maeryn: “My family. So many personalities together are bound to make you interested in others.” Helene: “My Father. He’s a hard workin’ man with a sense of honor an’ pride to him. I respect him greatly.” Aeric: “My Captain on th’first ship I ran with. An’ my younger brother.” Silone: “Crow. My former mentor.” Sunny: “Uhhhhh I dunno! I just have me, yes I do! OH but I have BEAR now so he is teaching me, yes he is!” Velestine: “My parents were my greatest influence. They sadly have passed on but I will continue their legacy by living with what I was taught.”

 If you could remove one emotion from your life, which would you choose?

Maeryn: “I think all of our emotions are valid and have a right to exist.” Helene: “No clue. Would be nice not to hesitate, yeah?” Aeric: “Obsession. Drives ya mad when somethin’ becomes your focus.” Silone: “But it also inspires. I would like to remove sadness. It’s a weak one.” Sunny: “I agree with scary lady! Sadness! I don’t like sad, no I don’t! We need smiles, yes we do!” Velestine: “I would remove envy. There is no reason to feel that way towards another when you should enjoy what you have. That, or work to achieve the same.”

 Well, thank you for your answers. Will I see you all again next time?

Maeryn: “Of course. I enjoy these questions and learning more about others.” Helene: “Aye. I don’t mind.” Aeric: “If I’m not busy.” Silone: “…” Sunny: “OH! OH! Did I win this time!? Did I!?” Velestine: “Perhaps I shall join in for more of them!”

Helene: “Uh, well. Yeah? I mean, Lion is my brother’n’arms. Closest I got to family. Yuti, Ikara, Soren, Kagato, couple others.” Maeryn: “My family is important to me and I love them dearly. Not everyone understands us but that is alright too. I also enjoy meeting people and learning about them so I suppose you could say I love people in a general sense.” Aeric: “I love th’ship I own. I love th’sea. Love Gid like a brother. All I need.” Silone: “Not your concern.” Sunny: “I love Bear, yes I do! He is the bestest best there ever was! Love my bow, too! It’s not a person, no it ain’t, but it needs love!”

What is your favorite color?

Helene: “Silver. Or steel, yeah? Purple too, if you need to know.” Maeryn: “I enjoy earthen tones. Greens, browns, the usual shades of the Shroud, really. Calming to gaze upon.” Aeric: “Blue like th’sea. Makes ya feel alive with th’right light or damned when she turns.” Silone: “Crimson. Natural or otherwise. Perhaps some blue.” Sunny: “Uhhh, don’t have a favorite, no I don’t! OH! Did I win!?”

What is your full occupation?

Helene: “Does fightin’ count? Been called a ‘Hero’ so I don’t know if ya want to title it that.” Maeryn: “I would have to say dreamer. Though I have recently begun to delve into adventuring to some degree.” Aeric: “Captain of The Siren’s Call. Privateer to Limsa. Also take on a mess of things when not fighting for th’Admiral. Or with her.” Silone: “Currator, Art Dealer, take your pick.” Sunny: “Sunny Loha! Oh! Wait…I answered that one, yes I did. I am Bear’s Scout, he says!

Are you good at physical fighting?

Helene: “Wanna test it? Happy to let ya see firsthand.” Maeryn: “Goodness no. I would be horrible at it, really.” Aeric: “Hahaha, these hands ain’t been made from holdin’ silks. What Limsan boy ain’t worth his salt in a fight?” Silone: “In several fashions.” Sunny: “I give ‘em a HA! And HOOOYA!!! And I KICK them, yes I do! Oh, I use my bow too!”

Which form are you best at?

Helene: “Prefer a sword’n’shield. Did some fightin’ in the pits back in Ul’dah, too. Don’t get the name Stonefist from weak hands.” Maeryn: “I shall defer to the others present to respond accordingly.” Aeric: “Axe is pretty good in my hands. Use my fists if I need to. Mostly like my gun.” Silone: “I prefer to be nice and close with cold steel.” Sunny: “Standing!”

What about magic?

Helene: “Hah! Not at all.” Maeryn: “Well, I can do a few tricks with ice but not for too long. Though I have been looking to perhaps delve into healing techniques.” Aeric: “Flashy shit. My style but not like that.” Silone: “Unreliable.” Sunny: “Oh! You know a trick! I love tricks, yes I do! Watch!! See? Tada! Oh…you meant use it, yes you did. I can try! Show me!”

Which type are you best at? Helene: “Pass?” Maeryn: “I believe I mentioned Ice.” Aeric: “Pass” Silone: “You seem to have a keen desire to know what we can do and what our limits are.” Sunny: “Okay, still waiting yes I am!”

Craftsmanship?

Helene: “Father was a blacksmith, yeah? Tried it but I don’t like sittin’ still too long.” Maeryn: “I often craft small miniatures in the design of a story I have heard or read. Recently, I made a rather beautiful home” Aeric: “I like workin’ with wood. Repairin’ things ‘round th’ship or just whittlin’ at it.” Silone: “I am an artist in many ways. Gifted with the use of paints to canvas.” Sunny: “Oh! Like making things! I got it, yes I do! I make arrows, yes I can! Just need sticks and some feathers! Pretty ones!”

Any other skills?

Helene: “I almost beat C’lest in an’ arm wrestlin’ contest. She was a strong Miqo’te I worked with.” Maeryn: “I can play the piano. It is another hobby I enjoy a great deal.” Aeric: “Many. Don’t get t’be a Captain at my age without it. Can plot a route better’n’half of ‘em.” Silone: “I can cook quite well.” Sunny: “I can touch my tongue to my nose, yes I can!”

Are you an only child?

Helene: “Aye.” Maeryn: “Not in the slightest. Well, as far as blood is concerned. My adopted family has three older brothers and one younger than myself. It is quite the interesting holiday dinner, I shall say. We had to bring in a second table one year.” Aeric: “Yeah, an’ proud of it.” Silone: “I have a younger sister.” Sunny: “I am not a child, no I am not! I am twenty summers, I am!”

Where do you see yourself in five years? Helene: “…Uh. Well. Hopefully not dead. Maybe….maybe workin’ with someone.” Maeryn: “Perhaps deep within some ruins in search of something unique. I would like to believe I would have traveled quite a bit by then.” Aeric: “Flyin’.” Silone: “…I shall pass on this one.” Sunny: “Helping Bear!”

Have you ever almost died?

Helene: “Couple times. I tend to put myself in front of stuff like that. Kinda why I get called Hero. An’ Shield. Makes sense?” Maeryn: “I have had two close calls to date. But was in good hands, as you can clearly see.” Aeric: “Sea ain’t forgivin’ at times. Men less so.” Silone: “Once or twice. Nothing extensive.” Sunny: “That would be hoooooorrrrriiibllleeeeee., yes it would!”

Do you have a secret, not just a secret, but like a really big secret hardly anyone knows?

Helene: “Eh..pass?” Maeryn: “I do not.” Aeric: “…” Silone: “…” Sunny: “That is nosey, yes it is! I won’t say, no I won’t!!”

Salty or sweet?

Helene: “Salty. Sweets hurt your stomach and aren’t good to fight on.” Maeryn: “I would have to say both. Sometimes mixed, really. Combined could be a delightful surprise.” Aeric: “Salt, Easy.” Silone: “This is a strange set of questions.” Sunny: “SWEETS!? WHERE!?”

Do you like yourself?

Helene: “I think I’m pretty good, yeah? Little stubborn, so I’ve been told. But I like me.” Maeryn: “I do.” Aeric: “Who wouldn’t? Come on.” Silone: “I grow bored with this.” Sunny: “Duuuuuuuuuuh! I am Sunny, yes I am! In attitude and spunk!”

Do you believe in the Twelve?

Helene: “Nymeia needs to take a break. Otherwise I havn’t really thought about it.” Maeryn: “I do. Thaliak is one I admire but I am fond of them all in small ways.” Aeric: “Llymlaen. Only one that matters.” Silone: “They aren’t especially in my thoughts.” Sunny: “OH! OH! YOU SHOULD ASK BEAR! HE WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING! He is sooooo smart with them, yes he is!! I like Menphina, yes I do! Love is great!”

Are you religious?

Helene: “Prayin’ only gets ya so far. Steel and armor make the difference. Gods got their jobs, I got mine.” Maeryn: “I have my small moments of quiet where I say a prayer or two but not especially. My mother enjoys her connections to them and speaks fondly and often.” Aeric: “Does swearin’ at’em count?” Silone: “No.” Sunny: “Sometimes! But the books are booooring! I just want to do stuff, yes I do! But book time is quiet time and Bear needs to pray, yes he does! I just sit and watch!”

Do you carry prejudice with you?

Helene: “Not fond of Garleans. If ya mean that.” Maeryn: “No. I enjoy hearing from all different types of people. Aeric: “I wont have it on th’ship. We work as one. No man different than th’one beside you.Same goes in life.”   Silone: “Not especially.” Sunny: “What is that? Is that some kinda food?”

What do you consider entertainment?

Helene: “A good spar. Testin’ yourself with someone. That gets fun until ya can’t breathe.” Maeryn: “Reading. Traveling. I enjoy plays and shows as often as I can.” Aeric: “Gid singin’ shanties or remarkin’ on somethin’ said.” Silone: “Poetry and Art.” Sunny: “Tricks! You still owe me one, yes you do!”

Favorite drink? Helene: “Whiskey when the day is long, yeah? Often prefer spiced tea when not tryin’ to dull myself.” Maeryn: “Teas of any kind and I have a rather large soft spot for this fizzy cherry drink that is harder to find. But it is lighter than you would think.” Aeric: “Rum. Scotch when it cold on th’ship.” Silone: “Wine, to be sure.” Sunny: “Favorite drink? Juice! I love how sweet it is, yes I do!”

 Do you have any family traditions?

Helene: “Father didn’t do much. Worked a lot. Used to train with me when he made a new shield.” Maeryn: “We always gather on the season holidays or on name days. Occasionally, they will go on a hunt together and Mother and I will stay home to make meals or bake. I am not the best at it but I try.” Aeric:  “Gid an’ I like to fish with harpoons.” Silone: “Rather not say.” Sunny: “What?”

Are you a good person?

Helene: “Haha, tryin’ to be.” Maeryn: “I would like to think so, yes.” Aeric: “Sure. If I like ya.” Silone: “And I believe that concludes the questions for me.” Sunny: “Very good, yes I am! I get head pets all the time, yes I do!”

Thank you for answering my questions.

Helene: “Sure.” Maeryn: “Of course, thank you.” Aeric: “Yeah, sure.” Silone: “…” Sunny: “I enjoyed it, yes I did. But really, who won!?” Tagged by: @yutikyis Tagging: @devil-you-know and anyone else who hasn’t done this!
