Konton has always been interested in the theories of planar sciences of the cities and magic of every org really. But does not go looking into the research available that's public due to loyalty reasons and personal vows.
Xeria can be very tough on herself, she has high standards and continually fails to meet them, which doesn't leave her much motivation for completing tasks. In moments of extreme frustration, she's beginning to think that throwing everything over and running off to hallifax to live the life of an indolent artist sounds like an extremely good idea. She gets to run a teashop like @Daraius Shevat (though with a different theme and offering foresty types of foods. Hey, she's forestfolk down to the marrow) and then sitting on her tail to eat cakes and cook food while chatting with various people. Despite the inconvenient lack of trees and forest to sleep in. She figures her mother @aerys could help her with that problem.
By indolent, xeria means your artists are generally freed from the pressure of having to do combat. No need to go kill things or raid! Or mother Ejei or deal with politics. That's practically indolence to Xeria. .You just sit on your butt and work very hard at a desk. Then you get to eat cakes and listen to people tell you how good your stuff is, based on its merits.
What? Hallifax does not chat?
At then at this point Xeria's going to start crying. Then perking up, and saying. Hrm. we -could- work out a profitable deal here. ETC. ETC.
(FYI that part about crying. I do not cry -ever- in real life)
Eating cakes and listening to people tell you how good your stuff is, based on its merits? Welcome to the Collectivist paradise! You may leave your individuality at the door.

Daraius wonders a lot about alternate timelines and whether any of his alternate selves are proper Hallifaxian civil servants, or never left Celest as pups, or were adopted by the Skyplumes instead of the Shevats, or grew up with a proper lobo pack, or are still with Sylandra, or died falling from the city during the dominator attack, or any number of what-if scenarios. The painting from @Maligorn in his room reminds him every time he wakes of possibilities just out of reach.
Lavinya uses astral insanity to hide her own...indecorous actions.
I wondered why you kept fingering my armpit and barking at my toes.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Esca talks a mean game about perfection in undeath and such, but he can be easily bribed with sweets. @Ilthilior and @Pectus have learned to take advantage of this fact.

More so Pectus, but I'm not adverse to bribing you with ice cream.

Huh. I think I'll make it a special point to carry cake to the battle field. Throw 'em at the tainted while I run the other way.

I am terrible with sweets. @Esca tells me to savor them, after I've already chomped them down. I guess that's a sort of character secret?
Either I eat them on the spot or I forget about them.
-Meliana HATES shoes and will only wear them in a situation she deems shoe mandatory. She is a free spirit and always wears her hair down as well.
-Her bears make it easier to live in the city away from the forest and her faith cements the fact that she'll never leave.
-Even though she was in Eventru's order from the creation to the end she has -always- had a secret soft spot for Gloms. It started with her unique relationship with Xavius and spread to her friendship with Eliron. She considers Morkarion a friend too and would love to hug him sometime.
-Eventru's fusion with Lyreth bothers her and she cannot bring herself to have anything to do with Valtreth or acknowledge him in any way.
-Meliana views Eventru's loss as a death and will forever grieve for Him. Her presence at the time of His fusion is the saddest moment of her life and led to a slumber she only recently awoke from.
-Meliana is horribly uncomfortable with praise or ever being the center of attention.
-Talking a lot or nodding without saying a word are the tells that Meliana is nervous. She is on either ends of the spectrum being mute or talking so much she becomes self conscious and dissolves into blushes and silence.
-Meliana has a unique view on spirituality in relation to the other faiths of the Basin that she never discusses with anyone because she feels it is too progressive and would cause disagreements (which she also hates).
-After a lifetime of being walked over and talked down to as a non-comb she is more firm with speaking her mind and she sees a very distinct difference between being a pacifist and generically loving everyone and having a proper leery attitude toward those who are negative/harmful toward you. She HATES with a fiery passion being told she must forgive and love everyone unconditionally and the notion that to be a Razielan you must be a naive sap.
-Meliana has been called a kitten with claws "sweet and loving but fiercely protective of those that she loves" this is the essence of who she is. She will do anything for those that she cares for.
-She has grown a great deal in the 234 years she has been in Celest. She sees herself as two people, the silly girl who existed in the past that she can hardly reconcile anymore and her present self.
-Meliana envies Kelly and others who are fearless in speaking their mind and seem to command authority without even trying.
Nott is very much a daddy's girl, looking up to @Arel since day one (especially after @Vionne disappeared). But ever since he moved to Hallifax, she has become very angry at him and very jealous of the entire Shevat family. When she was also in Hallifax, she would always be very polite to them face-to-face (although - she never really interacted with most of them), but secretly wished to start a revengenda a la "Emily Thorne." Since she has returned to Glomdoring, her jealousy has tapered off although it is very much there still.
Haezon wears a wig. It's held on, not by glue, but by SHEER FORCE OF WILL. He's also secretly envious of races with actual hair (Especially humans) and his 'head feathers' is perhaps the only thing he doesn't really like about being a trill.
You mean, "the ends justify the means", because "the means justify the ends" means you are prioritizing the meaning of what you do over the results of what you get.

The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
