#???: Conscience And Cupcakes

At the end of her first day working as Issabel Drake’s assistant, Rydia Misuto found herself walking with her new boss through the poorest part of the city of Ul’dah, a place populated by the destitute in a city where money meant virtue. This fact in and of itself isn’t what surprised Rydia, nor was it the fact that Issabel Drake had insisted on handing out cupcakes to the poor and hungry that made Rydia question her perception of the older woman. No, it was the reason she gave when Rydia had asked why: not “To promote business”, not “Because I was poor once”, not “To feel better about myself”, not “To look good”, but instead “Because it’s the right thing to do.”

This wasn’t something the woman Rydia assumed she knew would ever say.

It had started with her lust for ever-greater power with which to smite Garleans - Rydia had gone to Izzi asking for tutelage. The gloves Issabel had already made for her were powerful, of course (though still a work in progress) but the power Rydia lusted after was that of an Allagan Summoner. A power she knew only one master of. Further, in her research of the Allagan Empire, Rydia had read that the Allagans wore certain kinds of equipment that enhanced their powers. She wanted this gear. She craved this power. And she knew no one who could craft half as well as Issabel Drake.

So, with Cecilia Harvey off exploring the Palace of the Dead, Rydia went to Issabel on her own. She could write it off any number of ways - needing to suppress the fear and anxiety about if Cecilia would never come back, just wanting power - and she could pretend all she wanted she didn’t care at all about the woman who had once summoned a demon of flame to drive her away. But with time that wedge between them had been drawn out, and now she was handing out cupcakes with someone who - were they friends now? She didn’t want to ask. She wasn’t sure what she wanted the answer to be.

She said it so matter-of-factly. “Because it’s the right thing to do”. Like it was obvious. Like any of these Eorzeans would do this.

Almost like Mom. But Mom wouldn’t have been so blunt.

Who is she? She’s not what I thought at all. She’s…kind? But then why was she so mean to me?

Is it like Ashe had said? I wasn’t nice enough? I need to be kinder?

Do I want to ask Izzi? That’d make it weird, wouldn’t it?

“Rydia?” Issabel asked. She had an arm outstretched for the next cupcake to hand out.

“Right, sorry!”

Sorry for the wait! Here’s some FFXIV Commissions!

FFXIV Commissions!

[mist-of-fury]

lee for jaraku and petra for rydia! (we need to rp more orz)

Thanks so much for sending this in! Sorry to take so long replying!

the prompt was like, bold which traits my character thinks yours has. I think.

Jaraku @ Lee:

| Admirable | Attractive | Absentminded | Amusing | Abrasive | Aloof |Arrogant | Brilliant | Bizarre | Bland | Caring | Charming | Clever | Confident |Courageous | Creative | Cute | Careless | Childish | Clumsy | Cowardly | Cruel | Dignified | Dramatic | Desperate | Devious | Disrespectful | Elegant | Energetic | Emotional | Excitable | Faithful | Forgiving | Friendly | Flamboyant| Foolish |Frightening | Generous | Gloomy | Greedy | Gullible | Helpful | Honest | Hateful | Intelligent | Ignorant | Impulsive | Insensitive | Irresponsible | Lovable | Lazy | Mature | Malicious | Misguided | Monstrous | Narrow-minded | Optimistic | Obnoxious | Peaceful | Persuasive | Protective | Power-hungry | Quirky | Reliable | Romantic | Ridiculous | Sexy | Sophisticated | Selfish | Trusting | Treacherous | Understanding |Unpredictable | Unstable | Vulnerable | Witty | Weak |

(Literally all Jaraku knows about Lee is she picked a fight with him after he asked her to throw confetti whenever he scored a hit in a fight and tbh that baffles him completely)

Rydia @ Petra:

| Admirable | Attractive | Absentminded | Amusing | Abrasive | Aloof |Arrogant | Brilliant | Bizarre | Bland | Caring | Charming | Clever | Confident |Courageous | Creative | Cute | Careless | Childish | Clumsy | Cowardly | Cruel | Dignified | Dramatic | Desperate | Devious | Disrespectful | Elegant | Energetic | Emotional | Excitable | Faithful | Forgiving | Friendly | Flamboyant| Foolish |Frightening | Generous | Gloomy | Greedy | Gullible | Helpful | Honest | Hateful | Intelligent | Ignorant | Impulsive | Insensitive | Irresponsible | Lovable | Lazy | Mature | Malicious | Misguided | Monstrous | Narrow-minded | Optimistic | Obnoxious | Peaceful | Persuasive | Protective | Power-hungry | Quirky | Reliable | Romantic | Ridiculous | Sexy | Sophisticated | Selfish | Trusting | Treacherous | Understanding |Unpredictable | Unstable | Vulnerable | Witty | Weak |

(Rydia isn’t sure what to think of Petra but sees her as someone who’s trying to better herself and that’s a goal Rydia can get behind, so even though she’s weird and makes no sense to her Rydia will still back her up if the Archer’s Guild are dicks to her.)

[mist-of-fury]

Dear Rydia, what kind of feeling does Titan require to summon? I need to know for research purposes. --Nivelth

[[Thanks for sending this in! So sorry about the delayed response!]]

Rydia looks away.

“Summoning Titan is… I only call for Him when I’m angry. When I’m working towards getting revenge. I don’t know if that’s a part of it or not. But that’s how I feel. He’s not like what the books on summoners described. I don’t think he’s a part of my soul or whatever, he’s the Primal. Just smaller.

That what you wanted to know?”

[[OOC: She’s wrong.]]

🎁 A bottle of 1000 year old wine

Thanks so much for sending this in!

Send me a 🎁 + an object for my muse’s reaction to being gifted that object.

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn:

“Wine! Are…are you sure you want to give this to me? I think Ashe could use it more than I could. But if you insist! Thank you!”

Grey Riot:

“Uh, no. Ashe’d kill me. Sorry.”

Jaraku Drake:

“Why thank you, I’ll see to it this is imbibed responsibly.”

(By giving it to Issabel Drake.)

Resh Viqqoh:

“Oooh! I could invite Ashe to drink this with me on Starlight! That’s a great idea! Thanks so much!”

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn:

“A thousan’ years? Really? Yer sure, now? ‘Ow in th’ ‘ells did it last this long? Well. I’ll measure out enough fer each o’ th’crew t’get an equal share an’ we’ll welcome in th’ new year right proper when Heavensturn comes. Thank ye kindly.”

Rydia Misuto:

“Wine? I don’t want wine. I don’t even get why people want to drink it. That’s stupid. I don’t need your dumb drink. I wanna know what I’m doing and not try to blame my actions on some dumb drink.”

Natalya Nibiru: 

“A treasured gift. I’ll keep ahold of this, thank you, to share with my girlfriend.”

Gaelle Troyes:

“Why, what a coincidence! I’ve got a jar of honey dating back to the Fourth Umbral Era you can have. Just don’t open it - it’s veeery fragile.”

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn:

“Ha! Wait, yer SERIOUS? An’…an’ yer givin’ it t’/me/? Well. I’d share wiff th’capn’ but ‘e’d make us share wiff th’ ‘ole crew, so I’ll jes grab Swyg an’ we’ll have a /’istoric/ night, aye. Thank ye, friend!”

???:

“I don’t drink. Give it to a friend of yours. One who would appreciate it.”

??????h ?????????n:

“…You don’t expect me to take this as payment for a job, do you?”

Gui Charlemalde:

“A thousand years old? A thousand? As in one followed by three zeroes? As in dating back to the start of the Dragonsong war?

And you’re giving it to me?

I… I don’t know if I can accept so grand a gift! Are you absolutely certain?

Well. Thank you, friend!”

Eloise Boucher:

“Thank you. I’ll see to it this is used well.”

????? ???:

“Thanks. I’ll open this after the next business venture turns profit.”

[mist-of-fury]

11, 16, 22 ^-^

Thanks so much for sending this in! So sorry it took so long to get to!

11. What is something that would make your character fly into a rage?

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: Insulting her (dead) family, or aggressively treating her like an idiot.

Grey Riot: Threatening Enea. Oddly enough, threatening Ashe wouldn’t make him fly into a rage (he isn’t worried about her - she can more than take care of herself.)

Jaraku Drake: Speaking ill of Issabel, or especially of Geoff or Brodd. Bullying Nathaniel Rhys.

Resh Viqqoh: Threatening or disrespecting Ashelia Riot.

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn: Unwarranted (in his opinion) hatred of Limsa Lominsa.

Rydia Misuto: Threatening anyone she cares about, speaking ill of the dead people she cared about, arguing in defense of Garleans, directly and overtly trying to stop her from getting vengeance, calling her a child, disrespecting her, belittling her or people she cares about, violence towards anyone she cares about, laughing at the weak/bragging about exploiting them.

Natalya Nibiru: Killing Gaelle Troyes. Anything less and she’d remain composed. 

Gaelle Troyes: Killing Natalya Nibiru. Anything less and she’d remain composed.

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn: Drawing steel on the captain.

???: Nothing.

??????h ?????????n: Being a legitimate, actual, undeniable threat.

Gui Charlemalde: Harming the innocent without even a pretense of good intent.

????? ???: Disrespecting their sibling/favored deity.

16. Is your character the athletic type or more of a couch potato? What are some sports/games that they like?

(I don’t actually know of any in-setting sports or games so I’m gonna go light on answering the second one for most characters!)

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: Blae works out out of habit more than anything, but much prefers reading and writing or goldsmithing. 

Grey Riot: Grey likes to feel like a ninja and to him that means following a fairly rigorous exercise regimen mostly designed to increase his flexibility and endurance.

Jaraku Drake: Jaraku lives a very active life with Issabel. Prodigiously active, you might say. Outside of that, he likes to use archery as a method of exercising - he has killer back muscles for a reason.

He likes sparring matches, though he prefers making a spectacle to actually winning.

Resh Viqqoh: Resh works almost constantly, always seeking ways to improve the Riskbreakers’ airship fleet. She used to work out every single day, but after six months with no significant gain in muscle mass she gave up. (She’s actually cursed; her health is so awful as a result she’s incapable of building up any significant amount of strength.)

Resh isn’t very competitive.

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn: Zwyn rarely stops moving. He works alongside his crew to maintain his ship, he helps out the people of Limsa Lominsa however possible, he hauls crates, he fistfights for money now and then.

He enjoys bareknuckle boxing and arm wrestling matches, both watching and participating in them.

Bernard Undertaker: Bernard Undertaker hasn’t truly taken any time off to himself since Marco died. He’s always working.

He has no time or care for sports.

Rydia Misuto: Rydia rarely ever stops moving if she’s awake. She fidgets when she’s sitting down. She trains hard every single day and powers through the accompanying aches and pains.

She loves, loves LOVES Triple Triad and has taken it upon herself to be the best Triple Triad player there ever was.

Natalya Nibiru: Natalya tries to be less active than she used to be, trying to mimic who she originally was. It’s extremely difficult for her.

She doesn’t see the appeal of competition, though she’s been known to decide upon helping others win if the person in question is someone she cares about and the competition matters to them.

Gaelle Troyes: Gaelle walks enough traveling around that she doesn’t feel the need to keep up the level of training she once engaged in, particularly as she has no interest in fighting.

She loves any sport or game she’s able to figure out a way to rig. Beware her shell games.

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn: Hyltbryda’s in fantastic shape, in part because she’s got a sharp competitive edge and never stops trying to win. She takes every strong person she meets as a challenge; they’re either someone to beat in a feat of strength or someone to train towards beating. Her favorite fields are those of swimming and arm wrestling, though she’s been known to tape her hands up and box.

???: Discipline is paramount. Exercise is to sharpen both body and mind. Sports are a needless distraction.

??????h ?????????n: He’s quite active. He used to lie to himself and say that it was to bank enough that he could retire someday, but he’s given up that lie - he loves his work too much to retire.

The only good sports are those with a betting pool.

Gui Charlemalde: Gui is EXTREMELY active, constantly going around and helping people, fighting beasts, ferrying groceries, doing anything necessary to help others.

He enjoys simulated dueling matches, they’re one of the few pleasures he allows himself. He carries a blunted sword and dagger with him for this very reason.

22. What kind of tattoos, piercings, birthmarks, freckles, and other such unique physical features do they have?

I am so sorry, but while I am going to do my best the sheer quantity of data involved in answering this is going to make missing something inevitable - I am terribly sorry about that. I will do my best!

(note: all my characters except Bernard Undertaker, ??????h ?????????n and the au ra have pierced ears.)

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn:

Blae has scars over her eyes from play-fighting with dull swords as a kid - her parents thought it was adorable right until their youngest daughter was bleeding from the face and yelling at her brother for “cheating”. She has markings on her face relating to her family.

Grey Riot: 

Grey’s face has several scars, as does much of his body - he’s gotten in a lot of fights. He snuck out and got a tattoo as an act of “rebellion” and was disappointed Ashe never noticed.

Jaraku Drake:

Jaraku has several scars, with two particularly nasty ones on his face - he once spent outrageous sums to treat scars, but when he woke up a hyur all his scars were back. He doesn’t talk about it but the facial scars were earned the night of the Calamity while running through the Shroud trying to escape Garleans.

He was distraught that they were back until Brodd told him that some women like scars. Then Jaraku married one of them. Go figure.

Resh Viqqoh:

Resh took a serious shock to her system when she broke her connection to the Void, and the shock left her with one eye slightly darker than the other as well as a massive, horrible scar on her forearm that looks like it was shot with a huge gun (it stems from a dagger and a magical blast.)

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn:

Zwyn’s got some scarring and facial marks, including a small tattoo he got when he first got his ship.

Rydia Misuto:

Rydia has extensive burn scarring across her entire body, most noticeably on her back and her upper arms. Her facial markings are warpaint she applies every day.

Natalya Nibiru:

Natalya’s body is pristine and unmarked.

Gaelle Troyes:

Gaelle has some scarring on her left hand from accidentally drawing a sword against it when she was young. She also has a small mole on her face. That aside she has some scarring here and there. 

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn:

Hyltbryda’s scarred up from countless fistfights and scraps. She has multiple tattoos she’s proud of - she aims to have her entire body covered eventually.

???:

Significant scarring on one leg, through a hand and on their face. None of it is ever visible.

??????h ?????????n:

Every time an armor set gets pierced a scar’s left behind and he throws it out and gets a new one. He has three scars from this.

Gui Charlemalde:

Gui got a tattoo on his face of a dragon the day he left home to remind himself to be proud of his family and where he came from. Also because dragons are cool.

Eloise Boucher:

No significant visible markings that are actually permanent. 

????? ???:

Small scar on the face, a result of extremely grueling training. Had they reacted slower they’d have lost most of their head.

Come at me, for all of them!

Thanks for sending this in! (original post)

Jaraku Drake: “I remember when I was quite young I read in a storybook a fable about a boy who became a king after drawing a sword that had seemed impossibly stuck inside a rock. Where others struggled and struggled, unable to even budge it, the boy drew it out as easily as if the rock were putty. The stone and sword were in the middle of a deep and aged forest, you understand, and the act of withdrawing the sword revitalized the world around it. Color returned to the branches, new leaves sprouted, flowers arose from the earth. Life sprang forth in all directions.

And that’s what Ivaan is. He’s a fine forest waiting for the right woman to give the sword a yank and let the life back in.”

Resh Viqqoh: “Why are you asking me? I mean. The reports said he’s a good fighter. A dragoon, right? I don’t really know much else.”

Bernard Undertaker: “I know full well the use for such a man. You point them in the direction you want them to go, feed them a story about honor and justice, and watch them fight to the death for the ideals you gave them.

There are many such men in Ala Mhigo. It’s obvious what Ashelia sees in him to keep him around.”

Rydia Misuto: “I like Ivaan. He’s nice to me. His armor is dorky, but he’s alright. I don’t know why he’s mad at me. Is he mad at me? I don’t even remember saying whatever it was he was so upset about. Weird.”

Natalya Nibiru: “Reliable. Dependable. Bleeding from wounds he won’t show.”

A’sato Clueless/Tia: “I don’t know why he exaggerates so much about these overgrown drakes he’s so afraid of.”

Gaelle Troyes: “Oh, poor Ivaan, according to the Gods Themselves a terrible fate awaits him in his future. A catastrophe of immense proportions. Something unparalleled…”

??????h ?????????n: “Ha.”

Gui Charlemalde: “Ivaan is a good man, with a strong sense of justice. He’s a capable fighter and I’m glad to call him my friend. Also, have you seen how high he and Jenesis can jump? It’s incredible!”

Eloise Boucher: “Funny, I thought all Dragoons were Ishgardian. I’m dying to find out how he managed…”

[mist-of-fury]

@safestsephiroth

somebody give rydia another 25 gil for the scooty puff jr

[mist-of-fury]

"Come at me," specifically for: Rydia for both, Jaraku for Nathan, and any other combination you might want to write up!

Thanks so much for sending this in! (original post)

Rydia Misuto: “What? Nathan? You’re not going to make me talk to him again are you? I try so hard to be friendly to him and he doesn’t get it! He gets so mad and I don’t know why. He doesn’t make sense! And I tried to compliment his stupid clothes or hair or whatever but it was miserable and I hated every second of it it was the worst. I hate lying.

Why is it Nate’s always made when I talk to him? Why do I keep trying? I’m trying to be his friend and help him and he’s always upset when I talk to him.”

“Lorelei? I hope she never comes back.”

Jaraku Drake: “Friends aren’t something I make easily. Nathaniel is my dear friend. There’s much and more I’d do for him, you understand. He’s a bit shy and doesn’t seem to want to fight his own battles, and… it’s so frustrating, really. Sometimes I feel like a mother bird trying to push him to learn to fly. But I don’t really mind it. He’s a good man. He’ll get the hang of it someday. I’ll keep pushing him until then.

And the Twelve help anyone who tries to hurt him before then. He may not want to defend himself but I certainly will.”

Natalya Nibiru: “Nathaniel Rhys is damaged. Some sort of trauma has left him meek, afraid, unable or unwilling to stand for himself. He seems to have a good heart but I do not believe he takes his training seriously.

It angers me to know that, in light of his disposition, it’s exceedingly likely whoever did this to him yet lives. If I knew who they were, I would take time off to find them and solve the problem once and for all.”

COME AT ME (Grey, Jaraku, and Rydia for Abbie)

Grey Riot:“Ashe kid. Seem for two second like he worth a number but nah, nah.” He waves his hands in the air, giving a mock impersonation of Grey’s voice, “Ah, ‘yer lucky yer from /little/ Ala Mhigo’, ah, is Grey, is a big fuck, bet I got a big cock, bet I fuck, yeah. Girls and shit. What about Grey, what about Grey.” He drops his hands, sneering. “What Grey know.”

Jaraku Drake:“In the path - fucking /on/ the path. Step off it, flaunt. So far he’s been fetching feel everything’s /he/ business. Should stick to, I don’t know. Fancy. Stick his fancy. Keep where it /safe/ to, yeah.”

Rydia:“She did won’t /listen/ to me! They horns, they catch up to be her eared, right!? They broke or somehow!? Somewhat!? She fucking go and break her head shit, head bones!? Girl coulded get /better/, but where she thought stick. Uh…potency. Potentialcy. That. Look, she /can/. But her doesn’t.”

Jaraku Drake (re: Lee Whims) : “You know, I have no idea why that one au ra girl wanted to fight me of all people. Was it because I asked her to throw glitter?”

Gui Charlemalde: “Lee seems a fascinating person! A fairy with a mind of its own that speaks and everything, how incredible! I’d certainly like to see her again sometime. Perhaps the next time there’s an event at that flower shop?”

Rydia Misuto: “I don’t really know anything about Petra, but she deserves to learn how to actually use a bow and not get strung around or bullied out because she’s not one of those stupid tree people.If they try to keep her out of the Archer’s Guild again I’ll go all the way back to Gridania and start beating people up til it’s fixed.”

I want to do a "Come at me" But I think you'd really only be able to do it for Rydia, so if you don't mind doing it for one character...well yeah! :D

Thanks for sending this in! original prompt here

Rydia Misuto: “No.”

COME AT ME (Blae, Jaraku and Rydia for Nathan, Blae for Lore)

“Blae?” Nathan lets out a sigh, resting his forehead in his hand. “She means well and I appreciate her caring but… I wish she’d find someone to help that wasn’t me.”

“I don’t think Jaraku realizes how much I appreciate his friendship.” Leaning back in his seat, Nathan smiles a bit. “He’s been there for me when others weren’t and he’s always willing to back me up.” He hesitates a moment, frowning slightly. “I should probably tell him at some point how much I appreciate him but… I’d rather it not go to his head.”

“I don’t hate her, though I know Rydia thinks I do.” Resting his chin in his hand, Nathan rolls his eyes to stare at the wall as he speaks. “She has a lot of misdirected anger and I can actually relate to that. She just needs to learn to read social cues better. Stop asking me things I don’t want to talk about. Stop getting so angry over nothing.” He smiles faintly, still avoiding eye contact. “I don’t think she’s a bad person though. Just misunderstood.”

Lore raises an eyebrow, taking a bite of her apple and chewing it with a determination fit only for fruit. “Blae? She likes my shoes.” She takes another bite, another long silence rolling over the area. “Seems nice enough. She probably has plenty of friends to annoy.” Another pause, another moment of dedicated chewing. “I like that she talks a lot. Gets me a lot of information.”

Come at me! For those that've met abbie ovo

Thanks for sending this in! (prompt: send me “come at me!” and I’ll describe what my character thinks of yours)

Grey Riot: “Oh that shite. ‘E’s awful. I don’ ‘ave any idea why Ashe puts up wiff ‘im. ‘E’s so godsdamned annoying an’ ‘e can’ even speak words what can be unnerstood. An’ ‘e’s such a bastard.”

Jaraku Drake: “I already didn’t like him and now that I’m pretty sure he’s threatening or bullying Nathan I definitely don’t like the malevolent little mongrel. I’ve half a mind to beat him until he gets the message to stay away from Nathan, but I haven’t seen the two of them together since that last conversation. Still, if he’s hurting Nathaniel…”

Resh Viqqoh: “I understand why Ashe keeps him around. That’s all I have to say.”

Bernard Undertaker: “Living proof that a Silverbrand will forever be a Silverbrand. It was never Ala Mhigo that made them the way they are. It’s in their blood.”

Rydia Misuto: “WHY DOESN’T HE SPEAK RIGHT? WHY DOES HE SPEAK WEIRD SENTENCES?! WHY IS HE SUCH A JERK?!”

Natalya Nibiru: “I question the logic in keeping a ticking time bomb around with no ready means of defusal.”

??????h ?????????n: “With that last name I’d bet I know all I need to already.”

Eloise Boucher: “A fantastic possible source of the information I’m looking for. Probably a liar, and yet…sometimes you can find the truth between the lines with that sort.”

COME AT ME

Thanks so much for sending this in! (original prompt post)

Jaraku Drake: “Jude’s a good man, if a bit odd. Doesn’t bother me, though, some of the best men I’ve ever known were eccentrics.”

Resh Viqqoh: “I just don’t understand what his problem is with Dorgengoa! Dorgengoa’s such a nice friend to me and Jude acts like he’s some kind of monster! Maybe Jude has an overactive imagination? Maybe he has some sort of…delusions? Should we be telling Ashe about that?”

Rydia Misuto: “Jude Paw and I are partners. He helps me train, I help him blend in better. I already helped him get good clothes. He needed them. He’s…pretty weird.”

Natalya Nibiru: “No history, no place of birth recorded, no record of where he underwent his training, I couldn’t even discern who he bought his axe and armor from. He’s not a bad man, I don’t think, though he’s certainly overconfident and foolish to the extreme… But how has he erased his past so thoroughly? Who is helping him? What sort of network is he secretly pulling the strings of?”

Gui Charlemalde: “I like Jude Paw. He’s got a good heart, a bright disposition and he doesn’t shrink from work that needs doing even if it’s unglamorous. I don’t have anything unkind to say about him.”
