The feminine urge to become an ethereal being not bound by the rules of this world

[knowledgesought]

Q: WHY DID RUBY'S QUESTIONLESS SUMMONING OF JINN GET SCOLDED, WHILE OSCAR'S DIDN'T?

The difference is intention: Ruby summoned Jinn to buy herself a moment of time. While the spirit did admit this was clever, it was distinctly not Jinn's purpose, and so she warned the girl not to waste her time in the future.

Oscar, on the other hand, did in fact summon Jinn for the purpose of seeking knowledge. Despite the fact that neither he, Hazel, nor Emerald ask a question of the spirit, they did in fact find knowledge in her summoning. While a bit of an annoyance, she finds this to be less egregious than Ruby's offense.

Oscar likely wouldn't have gotten away with this too many times, however.

"I know of a cat similar to yourself from the stories, yes... and while there is truth in so many of the stories of this world, I know just how truthful that tale was."

Jinn knew the story of The Girl Who Fell Through the World. She knew the author was not the one so many expected, as well. Knew what he had gone through to write the story, those things he did within their world. She knew he omitted truths and spun lies. Knew he had lost his sister to that world. But what had happened there was lost to her.

A shame: she would have loved to speak with Lewis for herself.

"That tale, to our world, is a story of hopes and wishes. I would hardly seek to judge your story from those words." Still, it was an answer to who this creature was: The Curious Cat, as they had been called. Jinn moves closer to the Cat, looking them over with a now far-more curious eye. Rare, that she could meet someone and not know them. Was this how the rest of them felt...?

The Cat's tail flicked behind them once more when the spirit (their sister, for the same Brothers who had created then had also created her) said that it was an exaggeration that she possessed all knowledge, something they found disappointing. So the Huntresses hadn't told them the truth….about a lot of things, it seemed.

Though they suppose they should have suspected that, considering they simply wanted to use them to return home, without care or thought as to what their presence might do to the Ever After or to its inhabitants.

Of course, that had been something they had been concerned with for their entire life, ever since their creators had abandoned them, leaving them with the job of taking care of all the Afterans, with no thought as to what would happen to them if they suffered a broken heart.

"No knowledge of me?" they repeated, shoulders drooping slightly. "Not even the storybook?" Had they really been written out of it entirely?

@unlockthestars: Oh but their little sister was a curious being, if they did say so. Maybe she would have more answers for them.

"I'm told you hold all Knowledge," they practically purred, tail flicking behind them. "Is that true or were they pulling my tail again?" Apparently they hadn't heard about the 'three questions a century' rule. But since they were siblings, surely she would be able to tell them more than those humans had? [look I couldn't resist; xoxo A Cat Most Curious]

Oh? Well, this was certainly a first... 

Not a cat, not truly. Whatever this creature that had summoned her was, she couldn't entirely say: something about them was blocked from her vision, from that gift she had always been so burdened with. The Spirit's expression is strange for a moment — staring so closely, eyes narrowed as though trying, trying to peer deeper into this strange being and finding herself unable to pry anything further but a strange pain in the back of her mind.

That same pain she felt when she tried too hard to divine on the Gods, to seek out knowledge that lurked beyond her borders.

"...An exaggeration, perhaps. I certainly have no knowledge of you.

@anonymous: 🍁 + Were you distressed when you had to reveal Ruby Rose's plan to Cinder Fall?

"I certainly wasn't pleased..."

Distressed felt a bit strong, but she knew that she certainly hadn't wished to bestow that knowledge upon Cinder Fall — especially knowing what she would undoubtedly do with it. It wasn't the first time that her knowledge had been used for cruelty, and if the world did not end at Salem's hands, she doubted if it would be the last. "I was disappointed that their well-thought plan was going to fall apart."

@flightofaqrow: Leaf + whats it like in the lamp?

"It's similar enough to the inside of the Vaults — ah, but... you never saw them. That's right. I suppose your nieces would be able to explain." What was the purpose of her remark? Perhaps just seeking to rub salt in a wound, perhaps just playing out her own amusements. It's difficult to say, but she makes a loose sweeping gesture with her hand before continuing: "An ethereal space of sand and sky, completely devoid of time. Pleasant enough, I suppose."

Lonely. She leaves that part out.

@sunguns: 🍁 Does having infinite knowledge create any problems for Jinn? Does it come with any side effects?

Truthfully, the worst side effect is the boredom. When you know how everything has turned out, when you can nigh-always predict the outcome of things, there comes a point when you become bored with it all: there is no joy in seeing things play out exactly as you expected them to.

This is part of why she enjoys this latest generation of huntsmen so much. They do not conform to the rules and expectations set out by the past: they are carving out a new path for themselves, and while she can predict some of their choices, there is a newfound interest for her in them.

Beyond that, Jinn cannot relax. There is always information just coming into her mind, constantly. It's loud. It's constant. And while knowledge is the thing she craves the most in the world, that does not mean that the continous flow of information never gets to be overwhelming. Like a headache she can never quite escape from.

@anonymous: 🍁 + If you know everything, then where did the gods go, and are they really from the Ever After?

"I never said that I know everything. That's something you humans have implied for yourselves... and it's certainly presumptuous of you." No, she may know everything that has been in the history of Remnant, she cannot see the future, and even then — there are blind spots. One does not simply meddle in the affairs of gods, after all.

"Once the Gods of Light and Darkness left Remnant, I have not been able to see them. My knowledge has been contained to these lands. As for their origins... well. It would appear as if the five children who fell through the world would be the ones to ask about that."

@anonymous: 🍁 + Can't you only answer three questions like this?

"Someone was paying attention."

Still, there remains a sharp edge to Jinn's words. Perhaps it would be dangerous to trust the sweet smile that she offers out. "Consider this something of a... loophole. Knowledge can be granted, or knowledge can be taken. This is my offering it."

@anonymous: 🍁 + Why is your relationship with Ozpin so weird?

"I would hardly think it's surprising... Considering Ozma has strained relationships with nearly every person he knows." There's an underlying humor to her words, amusement sparkling in those eyes. "Our relationship is the way that it is because Ozma does not truly desire to be known, and yet he chose to remain my master for several hundred years before leaving me to wait beneath Haven. He dislikes that I know him, yet cannot deny the relief he feels at not needing to pretend to be something he is not."

‪Why should i say thank you if a man tells me im beautiful when i’m the one that’s beautiful ‬

[knowledgesought]

"I was beginning to think you were going to make me wait another hundred years before I would see your face again. Well... one of your faces."

She knows, of course, that this latest incarnation of Ozma has perhaps not fully stepped into what he will become as of yet. No, there is still too much of that sweet little farm-boy remaining in those eyes. Memories that have yet to fade away, skills yet to be unlocked.

What a shame. She quite likes this boy.

Amusement dances across her face at his remark — so cautious. It would appear Ozma has already done his part in warning him about her. That took some of the fun out of it for her, but she could amuse herself all the same with him. After all... he was here for a reason, wasn't he?

"Do I?" Jinn bends at the waist, leaning forward to set her gaze on him fully. "And what is it you think that I would want... from you?"

@knowledgesought asked: after all this time… here you are. / for oscar

Despite the fact that Oscar had never met Jinn before she had revealed all of Oz's secrets, she was far more familiar than he was comfortable with. It certainly felt like they'd known one another for quite some time…., but he supposed slowly losing yourself to the ancient person your soul was slowly merging with would do that to a person.

"Here I am," he responded, looking up at her, his mind racing. The first time they had met….had been rather traumatic, if he was being honest. He had helped to hold Oz back so that she'd be able to tell her tale, but he hadn't realized just how much had happened, everything Oz had been through.

And part of him felt guilty for airing …. everything, when he hadn't been ready. He understood a lot better why Oz kept his secrets….; he just wished he hadn't felt like he had to.

"You want something," he said, carefully phrased so as not to ask a question. After all…, he hadn't summoned her or had he? The lines were starting to blur even more these days.
