Knights

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.

I've given up on actually trying to predict things, to be honest.
hunting: (you can't win this fight)

I still make an effort to be prepared, pointless or not.

I'm not saying I don't go in prepared. But actually predicting things is not one of my strengths.
hunting: (when our thoughts are so numb)

There's probably nobody here that good at it or we'd be able to do a lot more.

Mmmm.

Some people might have better intuition than others, but in the end ...
hunting: (dead wrong to ever doubt you)

Knowing something'll happen doesn't always mean you'll be able to stop it.

The true dilemma of our role.
hunting: (stand my ground)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] hunting 2012-06-12 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

But more information wouldn't hurt.
quercusoptima: (perfectly odd)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] quercusoptima 2012-06-12 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure I'd trust her to actually give a straight answer today ...
hunting: (cold and lost in desperation)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] hunting 2012-06-12 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
We might be able to tease something out of it though.
quercusoptima: (things overheard)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] quercusoptima 2012-06-12 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Are you planning on trying?
hunting: (you were there and possibly alone)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] hunting 2012-06-12 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. I'll see if she says anything once we're done here. She'll just draw her claws if we refuse this part.

quercusoptima: (I hear all those things)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] quercusoptima 2012-06-12 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
She might regardless, from the sound of things.
hunting: (what's with the violent aggression)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] hunting 2012-06-12 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
The bit about punishment?
quercusoptima: (alice's wonderland)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] quercusoptima 2012-06-12 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Precisely. She didn't seem terribly pleased the last game, either.
hunting: (I played soldier)

I don't know what she expects, given how arbitrarily she seems to assign them ...
hunting: (cause I ain't never gonna sell my soul)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] hunting 2012-06-12 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
She thinks she's a teacher.

[personal profile] quercusoptima 2012-06-12 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
She does a questionable job of it.
hunting: (call my name)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] hunting 2012-06-12 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously.

What do you know about her last game?
quercusoptima: (cabbages and kings)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] quercusoptima 2012-06-12 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
If other people had a more exciting time of it, I didn't hear about it. The room I was in passed the time rather quietly.
hunting: (lost that right to hold that crown)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] hunting 2012-06-12 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Same. But Sasuke said she attacked the players. And I heard there was a fight after the game.
quercusoptima: (things overheard)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] quercusoptima 2012-06-12 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
... I just wanted to ask her about Shuri.
hunting: (do I have your attention)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] hunting 2012-06-12 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Edge in behavior dulling. Slightly.]

... What did she say?
quercusoptima: (silences)

Re: [Discussion]

[personal profile] quercusoptima 2012-06-12 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Not much. But he seems to be all right -- she actually seems to like him.
