welcome sleepies, to our meme saturday! every month a little mod-hosted meme will go up for us to play around with admist the chaos, and this time we've got......
ASK ME ANYTHING
Just post a description of yourself in the title and let those crazy anons ask you questions.
π post a top level for your character; you can leave a brief "I am X, AMA", if you'd like, make in anon, don't, ect.
π Other characters will reply to these TLs with questions
π Answer. Thrive.
π if you wish for your threads to be game canon, the sky is the limit (just make sure your thread partner is okay with it!).
[A favorite? You'd make him choose, in his economy?]
eh, if i had to pick one - [An impossible task for a creature like him, but. The truth, right?] - diamonds. call it knowing how tough they can really be.
Aventurine laughs at the initial response— one he was expecting, actually. it's good to know his hunch was right (not that it's hard with a guy that's name is Greed, but hey...!) ]
Now now, I would never really make you pick one and not be able to have the others. But, I like seeing what kind of preferences you have. Diamonds are a wise choice.
[Listen, you can't make a man like him choose. To have to decide on only one thing he can have. He's the Sin of Grabby: he's gotta keep his hands full.]
[Greed hums, satisfied.] good. would be a real shame if you did. as for the choice, well. [It's a little close to home.] let's just say there's still some things about me you don't know. and diamonds and i have a history. sort of.
what about you? if you could pick any gem, what would it be?
[What are all these questions? Why is he being put on the spot?]
[Et tu, Shar? Et tu?]
not sure what you mean. draws me to someone how? it really isn't that complicated. interesting people. people who couldn't live a normal kind of life. makes it easier, i guess. the regular lot don't tend to like me very much. not that i'd hold it against 'em.
Oh, so you like the weirdos. The outcasts. The people society shuns. [ The smile in her voice grows with each one. ] Do you invite them all to live at the Nest?
yeah why wouldn't i? that's how it's always been. people tend to forget how much they're worth. sometimes they need a little reminder.
[Whoops. Excuse him as he back pedals the hell away from that particular train of thought.]
? i mean if they want to stay here, who would i be to deny them? though there were a lot more back then. dublith might not have been as big as man-hatten but it was still on one of the major train routes. you'd be surprised what sorts of people find themselves that far from central
You like to remind people what they're worth. [ Oh, he's such a soft sin. There's an immediate sense that Sharon is smiling, small and curled, something warm traveling across the connection. ]
[Him and his big mouth, coming to bite him right in the ass.]
what's the point. denying what i want, not giving a straight answer when it matters. it's just beating around the same bush, schatz. the truth of it will come out, eventually. or it won't. that's how it works. there's always going to be rules, and this is one of mine. i can't get what i want if i go around pretending i don't. being honest makes it fair. that's the law of all of it when it comes to alchemy.
so why bother. save it for the rest of 'em.
[The rest to make up seven. Seven in total, bound by their namesake.]
[No ulterior motives whatsoever. Isn't honesty great?]
you're making it a lot more complicated than it is. what do you take me for, exactly? maybe it's just because i want to.
[But they both know that's mostly bullshit. Beating around bushes, right?]
no. i already know the answer to that. but it doesn't matter. being afraid has nothing to do with it, sil. i just know what it's like when they're taken from me. and what happens when i'm forced to follow someone else's rules, whatever they may be
[Ah, right. The last time they'd spoke, he'd been a little harsh, hadn't he?]
don't see why not. i don't hate you, friend. [Her, on the other hand, he has other thoughts about. But he tables them for now. He's already dug into the poor man once before.] i just know a thing or two about how something like that ends. i can't force you to do anything you don't want to. choice, hmn? always been a fan of choice. and what you choose to do is yours. simple as that. can't fault you for it, just like you can't really hold it against me if i'm not interested in whatever she has to say

But, ehh, doesn't matter. I make a point not to lie. So, go ahead. What have you got for me, friend?

[Which is why Silco wants to dissect you like a frog, buddy. Like, in a normal friend way of course.]
Though I suppose I've never been good at following other people's rules either. I can't fault you for that.

are they now? guess you have a point. though, in my experience, humans tend to look down on them more often than not.
but i'm not talking about that. i am greed. the living embodiment of it. so unless you've got that where you're from -
