Aes Sedai Quest [Wheel of Time]

Let's not and say we did, eh? WoT isn't exactly a series that lends itself to silliness.

We're the closest we're going to get to a WoT school girl, so we might as well indulge our silliness while we can: as you know, the only fun full Aes Sedai get to have is from being massive overcontrolling jerks to people, regardless of culture or technical designation (name one old/long time channeler that wasn't either a jerk, a manipulative plotter, or a manipulative jerk. It'll be an ordeal; it's been a while since I read the series, but I think there were like... two? Maybe three? There must be something in both sides of the channeling water.)

On another note, who wants to guess at who's part of the black Ajah whenever we meet new characters, and/or make another secret Ajah dedicated to rooting out the black? Because playing as the Ninja-Sorceress-Inquisition sounds fun to me. :V

What Black Ajah? There's no Black Ajah, and to imply that there could be is a grave insult; I'd be careful about saying such things, if I were you.

(aka don't metagame)

I am aware that we aren't allowed to meta game. We don't know they exist. That is not a fact to us. But there is a difference between suggesting something for people to seriously consider as a course of action and suggesting something that will be little more than WMG while we wait in between updates, and the fact that you've not picked up on my using the latter rather than the former twice now shames my nuance'ing skills.

What I mean to say is that there is no way I could justify this IC, and I know that, and you should know that I know that, and also that I know that we can't meta game, both because both that you've said it before and that it's very common quest courtesy, so why do you keep acting like I'm seriously suggesting this stuff? Your lack of faith in me has hurt my feelings. :V

It is very common quest courtesy, and I have said it before, but in my experience that tends to not stop some people. :) So in the early days of a quest, before I get to know my player base, I like to be liberal with such reminders.

On silliness. Popcorn isn't a thing, which is the problem.

Maybe try a kettle.
 
[x] Say something
-[x] Hello?
-[x] Why are you a rosebud?
--[x] And why are you forcing yourself to swear?

If she's hesitating to swear even in private, then why do it at all? It'd be entertaining to have her try and justify it, imo.

On one hand we certainly seem to be curious enough to do this; on the other, though, I don't feel like it's particularly appropriate for us to ask that kind of question. Asking "why are you a rosebud" certainly is already putting ourselves forward, as it were - and there doesn't, to me, seem to be a need to push past it. First impressions matter and since this is the first person our age we're meeting, it would stand to reason that we should not remotely risk making anything other than a good one.

(Wow this is a lot of effort for socializing :V)

Shamefully, the corn vote isn't going to win.

Meh. I view our character as curious, perhaps too curious. We wouldn't be in this situation if we weren't.

To best make friends, I think we have to be honest with each other. This is me honestly being curious.

Everything fits. Formal and courteous is nice for diplomacy, but it's a bit lacking when it comes to an actual close friend.

Challenge accepted! There's...

Uh...

Hmm...

Lews Therin?

I think that's it.

Edit: Actually, I think Demandred wasn't that jerkish, and he wasn't particularly manipulative either, if you look at his depiction in "River of Souls".

    • "Hello!" you greet the girl with as you open the door fully, your voice bright and hopeful. A fellow novice! Maybe the two of you could be friends?

    The girl jumps a good two feet in the air with a startled little shriek and spins around to look at you, letting you can see her face for the first time. She looks to be about your age, with skin more freckles than not, a slightly hooked nose and a wide mouth that looks like it's used to smiling a lot. Her tilted eyes are chestnut brown and wide with surprise. "Oh!" she says, slumping with relief when she realizes that you're a novice just like her. "Oh, thank the Light! I thought for sure you'd be an Accepted, or even an Aes Sedai. That'd have been just my luck!"

    "There do be no need to worry about that," you say, smiling at her. "I am Lucia, Lucia Morricone. It do be nice to meet you!"

    Her eyes grow a little larger still. "Morricone? You're from the Morricone family? But then you're--" She cuts herself off with a sheepish grin. "Ah, such things are not supposed to matter here, in the White Tower. Hello, Lucia; my name is Rielin Zavion." She holds out her hand.

    So this is the girl with the bad handwriting. Well, that is something you can look past, and you shake her hand with a firm grip. "Why did you say that you are a rosebud?" you ask curiously as the two of you let go, and she grimaces in frustration.

    "It's a novice exercise to help you try and embrace saidar," she explains, running her fingers through her hair. "The meditation is supposedly meant to make you calm and relaxed, and in my first lesson it worked a little too well, I just ended up falling asleep..." Rielin trails off, her mouth falling open a little as she stares at you. "Wait, if you don't know that, then... you haven't even had your first class yet? You're new? Newer than me?" She shines up in an enthusiastic grin. "That's fantastic! I'm not the newest person anymore!"

    • How big is being the FNG at the Tower? Like your life is utter hell until new blood, or better?

    You're... just the newest girl. There's not really any particularly bad thing about that. I have little to no clue why she'd care about it beyond maybe something something blahblahblah social. :V
     
    [x] Is it bad to be the new person here?
    -[x] ask her about the classes

    idk, someone can probably come up with something better than I can.

    Merean Sedai raises a slender eyebrow. "Certainly. Novices are not allowed to leave the Tower under any circumstances. They are not allowed to enter the Hall of the Tower, Ajah quarters or any of the repositories without an Aes Sedai escort. Novices are not allowed to channel unsupervised, use the Power to do their chores, or speak at mealtimes. Additionally, there is a curfew." She pauses. "It is good that you ask. Ignorance of these rules would not have saved you a penance for breaking them. Any further questions?"

    -[X] Um...Merana Sedai told me that Novices aren't allowed to channel on our own. Should you be doing that?

    You've already exchanged names, I'd like to note. She already knows where you're from and what your background is, between your accent and the name of your house. Her background's more up in the air, though the tilted eyes are a typical Saldaean trait.

    Also, it's Merean Sedai. :V /pet peeve
