Ochre broke 14k and Ishi broke 2k, so why not?

Also, I just love doing relationship babbling, and this is more organized than plurk SO.

AMA!

I play Kanji Tatsumi//Ochre on Tiamat, Kian Alvane//Ishiyama on Epona, and maybe a quasitrama echo, I need to get that app sorted out.

Ed trusts Ochre a lot! Not as much with Kaito, and he does hold things back, and he is sometimes intimidated by Ochre because he forgets how huge the guy is and then he looms and he's like 'aaaaaah right you're huge,' but if he's thinking of people to have his back, Ochre is in the top three people he thinks about right next to Susan and Kaito. He's also aware of how much Ochre trusts him, and does his best to not abuse that trust because trust is really hard to earn and so easy to lose. Hi Shadochre, we'll get back to you. He does wish sometimes that Ochre could keep up with the nerdspeak, but translation isn't a big deal--and he admires Ochre's inner strength.To be honest, he's still not sure what his own shadow would throw at him, and he's not 100% sold on the idea that he could overcome it.

He's also SUPER GLAD that Ochre and Lapis finally got to confessing to each other. GO YOU TWO be a stable couple and give us incredibly strong connections to other teams while being happy together!

He does worry that Ochre will have a moment of realizing that Ed is still human. And he worries that it will bite him in the rear when it comes.

AS FOR SHADOCHRE... so like.

OKAY SO ED DOESNT DISLIKE SHADOCHRE. He is curious because he shouldn't exist and yet he does, and he's concerned because if they kill Nyssa without killing Shadochre (something he's not 100% sure they'll be able to do in the first place, but) he thinks that Shadochre's existence would collapse, the same way that Yaksinis's subecho did when she went away. Or Sepsis's. Or any of the others. So he has a vested interest in seeing what the extent of Shadochre's autonomy is because if he is a separate living entity then killing him is really bad news--but if he's not then there's no reason not to since Nyssa's basically going to die in any path he can see from here forward. To that end, he asks earnest questions and says earnest things that really piss shadochre off, and he's realized that there's not really a way that the relationship will ever be civil.

Which. He's fine with. Because he's actually comfortable with playing the bad guy if it'll help someone grow as a person, or help his team, or whatever--he used to play the villain a lot for Tiamat's sake back in the beginning since explaining himself just made it worse. So he will just prod at Shadochre and poke at him and carefully see if he can encourage him to grow as a person, even if it's just to prove that fluffy headed asshole wrong.

And in the end he's also kinda laying groundwork for a possible BSOD moment at a critical moment. Ed figures that he is, to shadochre, a backstabbing asshole who ruined his innocence when he was new to the world and constantly questions the nature of his existence and insists he's something far worse than what he is, going out of his way to prove it at every available opportunity and never seeming as though he's anything but smugly certain of himself.

...Now add 'also she kills us a lot.' And think who the wisps would think of in a similar way for similar reasons. 8D

SO IT'S. COMPLICATED. Wizards, man.

did shadochre feel bad when he found out pearl got mirror'd?

[waywardapostle]

Better question: Does shadochre know? No. No he does not.

Who would tell him this? When would they have told him this? He's been in the tower, dude. Doing Shadowy things. And people just attack him on sight because they are Rude.

That said, if he ever finds out- if anyone is Nice and Kind enough to tell him that she's gone, he'll probably be sad. :< She was weird and confusing and kinda freaked him out, but at least she didn't attack him on sight, unlike SOME WISPS.

Pearl's thoughts on shadochre?

[goodbyenurse]

'Wow you might have an almost worse life than me.'

'It's close, but I still win tho.'

She doesn't trust him, for what it's worth, but she also doesn't dislike the guy and he's a possible business partner, so. Y'know how it is. BRO IT UP YO.
