Make My Characters Talk To Each Other

[Alicorn]

@fuckno: "So you're a disabled lesbian of color who needs a scholarship to receive an education -"

Finnah: "..."

@fuckno: "...but you're in favor of mass disability cures and you side with the imperialist invaders?"

Finnah: "... ... Stop, uh, talking over me and questioning my lived experience, asshole."

@fuckno: "you're right I'm sorry I'm sorry"

--------------

@fuckno: "What a self-hating career accomplishment. And now you're a housewife, even though you're more highly educated than your husband!"

Ehail: "...why are you even here."

-----------

@fuckno: "Wait, so you're openly racist against trolls and you despise the very disability group you so famously helped?"

Kaylo: "Who let this person in?"

[MaggieoftheOwls]

Oh also I wandered through the thread and found some Kappa requests I made earlier that I don't think were done or refused.
Tev&Iron Man
Tev& a Sunnyworld Tony
Nameless Jet Girl and Secret
Nior and Duran
Isalian and Mark

[Kappa]

I have a terrible habit of meaning to get around to doing these and then forgetting about them. Feel free to remind me if it's been several pages/days without me responding to a request. I'll take another look at those in a bit.

[Alicorn]

Isabella: "I'm sorry, I realize that this is probably private, and rude of me to ask, but... What are you? Your biology is really strange. It's like you're half a person and half a rock."

Elspeth: "I'm a hybrid of vampire and human."

Isabella: "Most vampires I know aren't made of rock. Also, they're infertile. And rock-vampires being interfertile with humans just raises even more questions."

Elspeth: "It's a different kind of vampires."

Isabella: "... Okay, how do your kind of vampires work?"

Elspeth: (((fractally nested explanation)))

Isabella: "... WHAT DID YOU JUST DO TO MY BRAIN WHAT?"

Elspeth: "I'm sorry, was that too fast? It would have been slow enough for a human to handle."

Isabella: "No, I mean the thing where you put words in words and I hear words that you didn't say. You are not invited to put things directly into my brain like that."

Elspeth: "Oh. I… can't actually talk without doing any of that, it's just usually less."

Isabella: "... I see. ... In that case, I would probably prefer for you to be obvious about it."

Elspeth: Okay.

Isabella squints. "... Okay."

--------------

Isabella: So you're saying drinking animal blood works for you?

Carlisle: "Yes. Most vampires don't prefer it for reasons of taste, and it slightly reduces our physical strength, but it doesn't affect our health and seems to make us better at working in groups."

Isabella: "You're lucky. I attempted it once, and found that, aside from the terrible taste, it also did nothing to actually make me less hungry. Rotations of volunteers are risky and complex enough that I'd much prefer to have to get used to the flavour."

Carlisle: "Even if we weren't venomous, the control it takes to stop drinking someone's blood far exceeds the control it takes to not begin doing so."

Isabella: "Yes. But at the end of a month of drinking animal blood I was risking attacking people. I had to have one of my volunteers bleed into a bowl and leave via a predetermined route."

Carlisle: "Well, under your constraints I applaud your use of volunteer sources."

Addy: "Hi!" *offers handshake*

Isabella: *shakes hand politely, having not been informed about witches*

Addy: "Interesting. I've never met a magic that tastes like blood before."

Isabella: *blinks* "I'm sorry?"

Addy: "No, don't be sorry, it's great! So how does all this work?"

Isabella:"What do you mean, 'all this?'"

Addy: *gap!vampire voice* "All this."

Isabella: "Oh. I see. Look into my eyes and I'll show you."

Addy: *giggle* *does*

Isabella: *focused, disciplined Domination attempt* What did you just do?

Addy: "Copied your magic. It's my thing."

Isabella: *calculating look* "What did you intend to do with it?"

Addy: "Learn all about it and play with it."

Isabella: *unamused* "Never copy anyone's magic again unless they ask you to."

Addy: "How about no."

Isabella: *raised eyebrows. More forcefully:* "Never copy MY magic again unless I ask you to.

Addy: "You know, I could compromise there, but I feel like you aren't really getting into the spirit of the whole thing."

Isabella: "Oh, wonderful. Do you have a time limit?"

Addy: "Nope."

Isabella: "And I can just see how much fun you're going to have being able to /suggest/ things to people. Excellent." (Prods a small bit of Addy's biology with her Memnodyne to see if she has relevant sorcerous defenses.)

Addy: *is a vampire*

Isabella: *takes a moment to process the unusual biology, looking thoughtful*

Addy: "Whatcha doing?"

Isabella: "Figuring out if I can subdue you nonlethally without using my voice." *watches for Addy's reaction.*

Addy: "Can you?"

Isabella: *attempts to lock Addy's joints and purge all traces of human blood from her system, on the theory that she'll become sluggish and weak due to her new vampiric dietary requirements. Realizes Addy had human blood in her system already, double-takes*

Addy: "What?"

Isabella: "Well. One, you can still move. Two, have you been eating people?"

Addy: "They're delicious :3"

Isabella: "...I see. Apparently I've made you some sort of double-vampire."

Addy: "Yep."

Isabella: "Let's fix that." [And then the fight started.]

Leekath: *listens to the grown porcelain furniture*

Porcelain Furniture: *was shaped by pressure felt solely on the portion of it that was made from bone ash, in all defiance of conventional physics* *was originally many sets of quite nice china*

Leekath: "Weird."

Isabella: *arches an eyebrow* "What?"

Leekath: "The furniture."

Isabella: "It does have a unique style, doesn't it? I commissioned it especially."

Leekath: "I mean the way it was sculpted."

Isabella: "Oh? Do go on."

Leekath: "It used to be dishes and then it was sculpted almost like clay, but you can't normally do that with fired porcelain."

Table: *was definitely sculpted by Isabella*

Leekath: "How did you do it?"

Isabella: "How interesting. I'll have to ask the sculp- why are you so certain I made it?"

Leekath: "It said. Why are you pretending someone else did?"

Isabella: "... Putting aside for the moment that you can apparently talk to objects, the reason is because I have a kind of magic that lets me manipulate biological objects. People tend to be taken aback when I tell them I can see their individual veins. The furniture was an experiment to see how biological something needed to be to enable me to manipulate it."

Leekath: "Oh. Not very, I guess."

Isabella: "It was a stretch, though. It took hours to do anything to the table. It's a lot easier to work directly with bone."

----------

Isabella: "Wait a second, you're genuinely a werewolf? Please tell me you don't eat people's souls."

Jake: "…what? Is that a stereotype here? That's not a thing."

Isabella: "The Imperial line is that werewolves are 'beasts that take the shapes of men' and that if you're bitten by one you'll also turn into a savage, bestial nonperson."

Jake: "…okay, also biting is not a thing. Hereditary. And we're people."

Isabella: "It sounds to me like the Victorian government got you mixed up with vampires in their propaganda somewhere. Er, my kind of vampires."

Jake: "…vampires I'm acquainted with don't have any of those things going on either. Except that biting is involved."

Isabella: "My local vampires have side-effects from biting people that include amnesia, fugue states, and coma. The vampires themselves aren't particularly stable either."

Jake: "Apparently turning into a vampire hurts a fuck of a lot and if you don't do that after getting bit you just die."

Isabella: "Personally, I'd prefer to be your kind of vampire. Even with the whole 'chance-of-death' issue."

Jake: "I dunno if that'd work out for you, like, biologically."

Isabella: "Biology can sit down and shut up. I didn't spend seventy years learning medical magic to have to listen to biology."

Jake: "I mean, you could get an application form and see what the R&D people make of you, I guess."

Isabella: "... Someone is actually developing a safe way to give people vampirism?"

Jake: "…It's not that hard to do it and have a vampire at the end of it, the application form is to prevent non-consensual turning and make sure everybody has anaesthesia during it."

Isabella: "That definitely sounds like something I'd like to sign up for. Then I would just need to find a way to stop being the other kind of vampire."

Jake: "I can't directly help you with either thing, because, werewolf, not in the PRPR department."

Isabella: "PRPR?"

Jake: "Public relations. With and without scare quotes."

Isabella: "I see. Thank you for your time." [heads off to find someone who knows about the biological process of vampire turning]

We have replaced Isabella with Dr. Realist for the @fuckno conversation because Eva thinks that is more fun.

Realist: "... fuckno, are you seriously arguing about whether an imminent apocalypse is politically correct?"

@fuckno: "You know, you could replace the word 'politically correct' with 'having basic respect and consideration for people in all their fascinating variety" and this would rather change the tone of how it's usually used while not altering the meaning a bit."

Realist: "That's entirely correct. I'm simply pointing out that, as a strict point of fact, apocalypses tend not to respect or consider people in all their fascinating variety, because they are too busy killing them. I generally don't feel very respected or considered by things that kill me."

@fuckno: "You clearly haven't actually read my blog. The potential fatalities of the Death Laser are a HUGE part of what's wrong with it."

Realist: "... And yet you would rather have many people potentially die, rather than have a cisgender white superhero disarm the device. Why?"

@fuckno: "That's not what I said. And look, he hasn't even disarmed it, it's still there; why are you so confident that he could do it? It's because of your unexamined biases, that's why."

Realist: "You did argue against his proceeding with the mission. Forgive me if I'm extrapolating from limited evidence: there's not a lot of blog to read your general attitudes from."

@fuckno: "Then educate yourself before you confront people with your ignorance!"

Realist: "Are you inviting me to research your personal life?"

@fuckno: "Back off, stalker. That's not what I meant and pretending it was is repulsively disingenuous. BLOCKED."

Realist: "Ah well. You can't win all of them."

Eva hasn't read Elcenia and doesn't want to do Talyn until then.

[MaggieoftheOwls]

Lexi and pre-Bet Xan, if he is available.

Lynn and the Sparkly Not-Duck Shrens

[Alicorn]

Based on "pre-Bet" I assume you mean the Wormverse Alex, but andaisq has characters named Xan, so confirm please?

[Aestrix]

--Lynn, Eret, and Theedy--

Lynn: "... Would you like to stay in my home? With your children."

Eret: "…why are you offering that."

Lynn: "Because I was a mother, too."

Eret: "Lots of people are parents. And?"

Lynn: "It matters to me that you are raising your children in a pond, I would rather you didn't have to."

Theedy: "If dragons find out about it they'll take them away."

Lynn: "Then they should not find out, should they?"

Theedy: ... :)

Lynn: :)

[MaggieoftheOwls]

I meant Wormverse Alex.

[Alicorn]

Lexi: "So you have a sister but she's younger than you? And she looks like Juliet's spontaneous teenage relative."

Xan: "...spontaneous teenage...? I, yeah?"

Lexi: "That's weird."

Xan: "You have a talking peach on your necklace and you're telling me that my having a younger sister is weird."

[DanielH]

In that conversation with Ehail, @fuckno was rather credentialist, but I shouldn’t really expect consistency there.

Alicorn and Aestrix:
Finnah and Prime
Finnah and epilogue!Zev
