Talk To Glowfic Characters

[alicornucopia]

So we've started answering comments in "How To Read Effulgence" in character, and that's not really the ideal platform for those conversations. This is! You may address characters here and we may opt to answer in character. You will get a kind of loosely "backstage" out-of-continuity version of the character (in continuity proper, you cannot talk to them, since you aren't there) and if you want them at a specific (past relative to where we're writing) point in time, feel free to specify (e.g. "Addy in 1932", "Shell in her box", "the Joker while committed", "Minus right after he woke up from turning", "the alethiometer on the subject of 1207").

Any glowfic author may use this thread to receive questions.

Aether, once you graduate, do you think you might be able to help Voice? Voice, what do you thinknof the idea?

Lissa, Glass, and Liselen: have you noticed Lissa being more strongly connected to the Wild Magic than your average human (in addition to or related to Glass saying she’s somewhst shiny)? Lissa, did you hear the Admin’s theory on shinyness, even if it can’t explain the “somewhat” part?

Jill Callahan, if somebody were to conjure a person (like Sarion did with the eggs or Kas did making himself pregnant), would you have any say in who they turned out to be? If you wanted to instamtiate a template, would that be a possible way to have that happen? What do you think of everything Bella’s done or had happen to her so far?

Bar, how often are permanent changes like the Belltower made to your world? Has the various time-syncing the peal does inconvenienced any of your patrons? What’s the oddest thing you’ve done that you can easily remember (by whatever you would consider odd; obviously this differs from my definition in that I find leaving the room less odd than making stuff out of thin air)? How often do you help with things like, say, arbitrage? Can you make/dissapear things other than on your top surface? What would it look like on a standard 2014-Earth credit statement to buy something from you? Most importantly, are you on the brainphone yet?

I forgot to ask Bar how much information she gets about people’s tastes. For example, there was a time she made a minty drink in response to a vague request. The recipient thought it was fantastic, but I hate mint so much I probably wouldn’t be able to drink it. What information do you get which would prevent you from giving me that particular drink, or prevent you from giving an Alex the spice she thinks tastes like soap?

If one tends bar for enough millennia, one develops a sense for these things.

I feel woefully undertrained for all possible peal-related therapy needs. The stuff we deal with is way outside the scope of my curriculum. I'd try, if he wanted and it was safe for me, that's all I can say on that.

She's not an unusual amount of attached to her books, which are already pretty damn attached to everybody who has a set. The Wild Magic as its own entity/magic isn't quite as visible to me.

(Voice did not receive your question because he's not really able to communicate with people at the moment. Jill received your question but then didn't care enough to bother answering it.)

Lissa's a good Wildmage, but if there's anything especially special about her, the Wild Magic hasn't told me so.

Changes like that are fairly few and far between.

Parts of Milliways don't necessarily sync with each other. The interior of the serving establishment may fail to match with the Belltower. So inconveniences like that, if they have occurred, have been few enough that I haven't heard complaints.

Once I gave Shell Bell a catalog. It was very difficult for me on an emotional level.

Most people don't think of arbitrage. I occasionally sneak people a little help if I think it will go unnoticed and is needed.

Large objects such as hoverbikes, or things that float, such as helium balloons, typically do not appear on my surface.

I can't recall ever being shown such a statement.

I can be communicated with via brainphone.
