Knights

[dramatispersonae]

Following the hedges maze for a while you eventually find yourself in a small clearing with another white table sitting in the center. On the center of the table is another letter.

"Well, in the interests of airing our grievances with one another I feel it's best to communicate in the most honest way possible. Take the four names I've given you and select four or five of the words listed that you feel best describes your thoughts and feelings toward them. Do try to be frank and open, Mother knows when you're lying.

And, of course, don't forget your dear Mother as well."

Disdain	Protection	Strength	Perserverance	Zeal	Uneasiness	Vulgar minds	Admiration	Friendship
Bonds	Good Education	Indifference	Curiosity	Meanness	Wit	Bluntness	Frankness	Hope
Insincerity	Bravery	Dignity	Treachery	Stoicism	Horror	Coldness	Pity	Surprise
Envy	Zest	Weakness	Sourness of Temper	Amiability	Virtue	Busybody	Variety	Independence
Uselessness	Warmth	Tears	Unamity	Tranquility	Energy in Adversity	Mildness	Silliness	Sympathy

RULES: As an individual, pick 4-5 adjectives to describe how you feel about the 2 teams and 2 knights e-mailed to you. Also pick 4-5 to describe your feelings toward ~Mother~. Reply to the turn in comment by 12am EST / 9pm PST with your results. PLEASE keep your other knight names private, but feel free to mingle/discussion otherwise! Assume that characters who can't read hear Mother's voice reading the words in their head.

...My condolences; that sounds entirely unenjoyable.

Actually, it was pretty cool.

[ ... grins wickedly, waiting for something!! ]

Re: [Discussion]

[headcannon]

[ducks his head to hide his grin]

Downright frigid, i'd expect.

Re: [Discussion]

[virtuallyroyalty]

I'd say it's a level of coolness which can't be measured!

—Aah, anyway, you're smart! What does amiability mean? I have an idea, but...

Re: [Discussion]

[headcannon]

It means being friendly or agreeable in nature.

Re: [Discussion]

[virtuallyroyalty]

So it was something like that!

[headcannon]

[...you're charming]

Not the words you would natural choose, are they?

[virtuallyroyalty]

Not really! A bunch of these words aren't really what I'd say in everyday conversation.

[headcannon]

[nods]

From my conversations here I am given to believe you are not alone in that; it does, however, tell me a thing or two about Mother.

[virtuallyroyalty]

That she's super strict with impossible expectations?

[headcannon]

impossible expectations in what sense?

[virtuallyroyalty]

I don't know much about her myself, just rumors. But she expects us to act like good little kids for her, right? It's annoying!

[headcannon]

Oft times one must act a part to get what one wants.

[kind of eavesdropping on other conversations though]

...Though if she is prone to shows of force for minor transgressions then catering to her whims quite swiftly loses its appeal.

[virtuallyroyalty]

It's probably part of her own role... but that doesn't make it any less irritating, yeah.

[headcannon]

I'd expect not.
