If a guest starts to have problems she can't poof away on the spot, she freezes them in place, bring Stephanie in, and if it's severe enough, they're either cure it, and if it's a recurring problem, they prolong it long enough for them to stay awake and alive for at least a few minutes after they leave.

[up]What you get for being different is being hard to crawl into the character's head. I admire your patience with doing so, to be honest.

Hmm...I'm starting to get a hold of Finn. I'm using his post-story version, since pre-story would creep people out. The former is interesting in its own way, since he's still developing emotionally and socially.

But I have no idea how to deal with Bryan.

[up][up]Heh, thanks.

I was thinking of putting in July but the story is already from his viewpoint anyway, and aside from weird cultural norms/trauma and looking strange, he's still very human. Lafayette is the love interest and still needs fleshing out...

[up]You suggested earlier that physical contact would result in a static shock. That'd definitely be noticeable...

[up] Hm? Eh. The field thing... I haven't quite fleshed it out yet. If you want your character to get shocked, ok, but I was thinking of only having that happen when Lafayette's trying to contain it...?

Also, @snowfoxes — what kind of 'verse is your character from where they don't have guitars?!

Tera, I think you misread. Earlier, Xavier told Wesley that they were even and I don't know what you meant by that. Neither does Wesley.

^^ They might have acoustic guitars. I'll have to look it up. But they have lutes.

It's a mishmash of historical periods that I like.

[up][up]Wesley created an awkward situation by storming in only to have Xavier recognize him, and Xavier created an awkward situation by not noticing Wesley's scars. I thought Wesley was saying, "We are we even (verb)?" Serendipity at work.

[up][up][up][up]Guitars are older than viols. Vivaldi composed concertos for guitars which can be played on modern acoustic guitars. It seems like the person would have to be very sheltered to not know about guitars but know about viols.

Guitars probably aren't popular in William's region anyway tongue

[up][up][up] Yeah, you're right. I'm not gonna ask to retcon the whole thing just because it sounds a little awkward. And aren't Xavier and Wesley friends? It might just be me, but Xavier seems a little cold.

[up][up]([up][up][up])I didn't notice. And there's a difference between "knowing someone for a few stressful hours" and "knowing someone for years". Plus, Xavier's a bit angry at Vincent for as-of-yet-unmentioned reasons, and as lizards and reptiles have a brain that works primarily on instinct and flight-or-fight responses, I extrapolated a bit and made it so that, compared to humans, chimeras have some anger management issues.

And here I am, about to unleash a mute on the Cantina. Time to see if I can develop characters without dialogue!

I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serial
