Traditional Q&A

Hello, hello!

I'll do a long-overdue progress report tomorrow, but as of right now, I was hoping you could lend me a little bit of your needed help.

I'm thinking of doing yet another Q&A — I've got five people asking me to do one 😋— but I thought, "Let's make it a little bit different."

Or, in this case, a little bit more true to the name. You ask questions to a character or multiple, and I'll answer in-character. I want to try something more direct and playful. I might write a scenario or two because I know myself, but I'll focus on trying to answer everyone (which isn't possible in the other Q&As because even one question can get to 2k words).

This format makes it harder to think of what to ask, so if you can't think of anything, don't worry. I'll just write another type of Bonus Content for this month — I have a couple of ideas brewing already.

Thank you!! ♡

Ok so I'm kinda late but that one ask on tumblr made me think, *but* we haven't gotten to the garden scene just yet so idk if it wouldn't be too much to ask that. @Vallen, of course. What were you thinking the first time you saw Romanus' scar, realizing they must've gotten it sometime after meeting you? Vallen's just so mysterious and scary and I love her, and I wanna get inside her head and see how she thinks 😩🤌

Wrap Wrapowy

Maybe if it wouldn't be spoilery what is any/all ROs favourite memory and Bekas, cuz I love her with all my heart

shrek4ever

@ Alessa and Hadrian, what were you thinking when Romanus killed Garrett? ( both intentional and regretful )

neon_fish

I love all of these ♥️

Anathema

@companions: if you could ask Romanus one thing and they had to answer truthfully that would that question be?

Coldskingamer

I'll switch gears a little to the side characters! Beka! Through entirely legitimate means you come into, say, a thousand gold coins. Your food and necessities are bought and paid for- How do you spend the excess? Are you living like Ysabella? Goliath, who's the very last person you'd want to see stepping into the ring with you? Who strikes fear into your heart? (Is it your mother? Lord knows she probably doesn't approve of this line of work) Captain Cynthia, thirty days without speaking, or three days unable to see or hear? Piki, Benz, how do you strive to live with glory? Are there often bigger threats than wolves to contend with in the Castillan highlands? This is for Alessa, the twins and Rafael: If Romanus expressed a willingness to give you some lessons on Latin, would you take his/her offer?

HeraldOfEras

To Rafael: ... Sorry, I can't think of anything. But feel free to snark at me for leaving you out.

Sydney Marsing

To Neia and/or the Pirate King: what is the strangest thing you've ever come across during your travels? [excluding plot-relevant events if necessary]

Sydney Marsing

To Lance: What is your favorite weird little discovery or pet theory about history/Latin--the one you wish you could talk to more people about just for the sheer joy of sharing something that's been living in your head rent free?

Sydney Marsing

To Alessa about Hadrian and vice versa, and to Ysabella about Alain and vice versa: What is something you know about the other person that they don't know about themselves? Or, what's something that they think is true about you, but isn't?

Sydney Marsing

@any/all - if you could go back in time to before you met MC knowing what you know now about them, would you change the way you first met?

Stephanie Beth

@ any: what’s one thing you wish you were good/skilled at?

ricetea

To any/all: If you could ask the MC one question and have them answer it truthfully, what would you ask them? (Considering what they know of MC at this point in the story)

Allie

“Alessa, why are you more bold and outgoing towards a female RO and more reserved and shy towards a male?" "Hadrian, did you choose to learn the greatsword or were there other options for you to choose from? I'm personally surprised you don't use a shield, considering your leaning towards a non lethal/defensive fighting style. On that same note, do you have a helmet? If so, do you ever use it?" "Vallen, why did you join the Red Guard? Or more importantly, did someone order you to join the Red Guard? I have a gut feeling you didn’t join out of loyalty to the Theers…” Also, I still have that prompt of Romanus teaching their RO something from their past, particularly a Hunter Romanus teaching their RO how to track and hunt wildlife

Warpotato

Idk if someone already asked this - in case someone already asked, i apologize! 😭 - but is there any place, site or country each RO wants to visit?

Ava

I wonder if, lets say, the MC had an illness that was terminal and shared that information with the ROs before anything happened relationship wise would they still choose to pursue the MC despite knowing that they might die soon? I would ask all the ROs but that would be too greedy so @Hadrian

Leialie

Long into the future, when everything has been resolved and life is sweet, calm and steady once again (or for the first time ever) do you see yourself starting a family with the MC? - for all the ROs

AndrasteN7

"Say, Alessa? It was mentioned that you've visited Tarragona before. I was curious, how much of the rest of the world have you visited? And was much of that travel with the White Company? Or were you secretly an epic adventurer in your youth?" - from her sarcastic best gal pal Romanus "Hadrian... do you think that when our time has finally come, the lord will let us be together in wherever we're going next? I'd like to start the next chapter with you by my side, big man." - from the same Romanus who's also head over heels for Hadrian

Rue

@ Vallen: What makes you romantically attracted to someone as opposed to what makes you sexually attracted @ Alessa: Same question @ Both: What is your boundary that would make a relationship beyond repair?

Arizona

@Hadrian: how much do you love MC? *I smile* @Alessa: same question @Hadrian@Alessa: when did you realize you were in love with MC? did it hit you quite literally or possibly in the face? (Not being sarcastic) (I'm hoping to get a blush out of them) @Lance: how do you dye your hair Blue? Magic? Paint? Uhhh some secret bard trick? Also do you play any other instruments besides the lyre? (Lyre, liar get it? I know I'm lame) I ask because I play the flute and piano. I wish I could say I play guitar better but I can't... My hands are too small to pluck my guitar strings (sad face) @all ROS: do y'all have any favorite hobbies or past times you do in your free time? @Pirate King: Im curious there is this stigma that all pirate captains own a parrot or monkey. Like in Pirates of the Caribbean Captain Barbossa owns an undead monkey.... Kinda creepy... But anyway do you own a parrot or monkey? @all ROs: do any of you have any training in martial arts? The ancient form of fighting? I did martial arts and it helped my discipline immensely (until it didn't and I fell out of my studies....) But my sensei taught me a lot. I was taught in a traditional Japanese style of martial arts. My sensei had a saying "it may seem difficult at first but everything is difficult at first." And we had to earn our rank through hard and vigorous testing. We were also taught to never lose yourself. To focus your center. To remember the person you are today. In the present. And I felt like that helped me a lot. @all ROs: are any of you tidy or messy? Does it bother you if MC or anyone else touches your stuff? Or do you happen to misplace your things such as myself .... I happen to write something down, put it in a place where I think I'll remember it,, I get distracted easily and then I can't remember where I put my paper that I wrote down the thing I needed not to forget....

Nessy Lovegood

To any of them (pick whoever you feel most inspired to write for, I love them all equally 💙): What is/was your relationship with your parents like? Or if you grew up without them... who filled that role and what were they like?
