Entries

Arianiss

1) warm
2) "Hey!  Over here!  Hey!  Look at me!  Yeah, you!  Hey!"
3) friendly
4) People love to recommend their healer to you.  I don't know what they get out of it, but they really push them on you.

"Is he good?"

"He's the best.  This guy's the best."  There can't be this many "bests."  Someone's graduating at the bottom of the classes.  Where are these healers?  Is someone somewhere saying to their friend, "You should see my healer, he's the worst.  He's the absolute worst there is.  Whatever you've got, it'll be worse after you see him.  The man's an absolute butcher."

And whenever a friend refers a healer they say, "Make sure that you tell him that you know me."  Why?  What's the difference?  He's a healer.

"Oh, you know Tristansas?  Oh, okay, I'll give you the real medicine.  Everybody else I'm giving breath mints."
5) neutral
6) tickle
7) "I may not have any arms or legs, but I can still fight you!"
8) cold
9) praise
10) "How dare you praise me.  I am beyond your praise.  Why, when I was a full body I would command those like you to the gallows daily.  Hmph.  Praise me?  Who do you think you are..."

Kalyrra

1. Neutral demeanor
2. “Sorry, but I don't seem to recall agreeing to getting soaked in blood every time you decide to kill something.”
3. Friendly demeanor
4. “Oh, hey...did you want to hang out today?  Get it?  Never mind, I'll just be quiet for a bit.”
5. Reserved demeanor
6. SHUSH
7. You quietly shush the disembodied head, which huffs in annoyance and rolls its eyes hard enough that you wonder briefly if they might fall out.
8. Cold demeanor
9. POKE
10. You give the disembodied head a quick poke to its cheek, causing it to attempt to bite your finger!  Someone's feeling cheeky today.

Obelin

1. Friendly
2. "Bit of weather we're having lately, innit? Watched a man stare at it without moving for a quarter hour."
3. Cold
4. "Surely we have better ways to spend our time?"
5. Warm
6. NUDGE
7. With eyebrows askew, the disembodied head winks and nods to hint at a deep understanding of Target.
8. Neutral
9. POKE
10. The disembodied head stares directly at Target for a long moment before flatly asking, "Would you mind repeating that?"
