Quinten's Links
Festi is a smart, resourceful, and independent person, having grappled with plenty and come out the other end excellently, all on his lonesome. But I'm changing that. He will never have to go through pain ever again as long as I'm here. Even if he resists the snuggling.
A mere control freak who can't contain his neediness - and I need to keep him in check. And, in multiple ways, the man who saved my life. Though Quinten and I tease and bicker, we do share an incredibly strong bond.
What is he THINKING?! Running off the island, alone, telling no one where he's gone?! Auuuuuugh, Arscay, I swear by Yerxes this is my limit! The next time I see him I'm going to put him in a straitjacket!
Aw, my little Quinty-woo's such a sweetie, ain't he? He's always looking after me like a big momma hen, always starts squawking whenever I start wandering off cliffs. Good! Somebody's gotta keep him from getting too comfy! Hehehe.
Priori is very, very sweet, and very giving. He gives too much of himself to other people - all that effort, time, even his Flame, based around other people. I want to be a shield for him, so that he can breathe and just be himself, even if for a little while.
Quinten... I have a lot of things to say about him, and it feels like not enough time, hahah... I admire his strength and resilience, for starters. I think he's a wonderful person, with good judgment, and there's no one better to lead the Agency. I think it's incredible how much he's growth and how steadfast he remains through it all. I really do love him.
Ente is so reliable, which is an understated trait, honestly. It's magical how helpful just simple reliability is - it doesn't need to be perfect, it doesn't need to glitter, it just needs to get done. And Ente gets it done! Without so much as a bitch or a moan! Thank the stars for Ente.
Quinten can be rough around the edges, but that's really his only flaw. If you do your work and do it even decently well, he'll remember and treat you right for eons to come. He's not shy about giving time off or vacations when people need or deserve it, too. And... yes... I find him very attractive....
Pandora is so withdrawn it's hard to get a pulse on how he feels about working with others or about certain tasks. I think we've spent enough time assisting one another that I have a decent feel for him, though, and I hope the assignments I do give him are satisfactory and engaging.
I do like Quinten. I wonder at his history and his childhood, considering how he is, but he has a strange quality about him that makes him appealingly fair-handed, if emotional.
Cemmy's powers are useful, but I do make an effort not to rely on them. The last thing needed is Cemmy's ego to be so inflated that he starts thinking that he's integral to the Agency or to me. No. He's just useful.
You gotta learn to love Quinten and all of his quirks if you're gonna work in the Agency full-time. And while he gets on everyone's nerves sometimes, he's generally a fair kinda guy and doesn't cheat people or ignore their good work. Just takes a bit of getting used to, that's all.
A literal fucking pest. But I know how to respect others and obey orders, so I'll work with them until Cismin forgets they exist.
I look forwards to our long and fruitful working relationship, Quinten! Even if he grits his teeth the whole dang while~!
Yes, a member of my Agency - one of the recruiters. Faern is very good at supplying me dozens of potential new residents, of which I have to sift through and pick out the actually-noteworthy. I swear, dangle any Dominion in front of him and he'll find an excuse to recruit them....
Yes, I approved him. We had a request or two in for his archives, and it's rather immoral to just steal a man's life's work out from underneath him. Also, he's efficient at his work, has a talented eye for archives, and amuses me when he flirts with my teams.
Oh, the leader of the Provisional Agency. I suppose he's why I met Festi, although I don't speak with him often. I think he's quite pent up, although perhaps not how you would think. I've, ah, *seen* him with his partners. It's very cute!
It's nice to get to vent to Uzerin. He's very patient and understanding. Really... listens to you. It's nice.
Dear leader! Oh, dear leader, with an angry scowl yet a warm heart. He can't help but grant people's wishes and dedicate his life to embettering ours - it's simply in his nature. But for all that love and affection he has for us citizens, he yet holds us at arm's length. A shame, a shame! But perhaps I, away from the masses, can call our relationship deeper....
I've always held a grudge over what he did to Arscay. Really, what he's doing now - disappearing into the abyss when the island is struggling so much... Xharde, Mewrune, Reewah... making Arscay chase after him, when... Ugh.
Quinten truly loves Arscay so deeply. I'm happy Arscay found someone else after we ended our relationship. He needed someone to lean on, especially in contrast to his family, and Quinten is perfect for him.
...I don't know what to think, after Vallha pulled me aside. It's... not something I've told anyone else. Nor do I plan to. At least, until Arscay finds them both, I'll keep Evenne safe and secure, true to my word. But I have questions. A lot of them.
Ah, Quinten... he's very authoritative.
Vallha wouldn't lie to me. Rather he doesn't lie at all. But if I'm to believe the words he's said... it's... hard to grasp. Sand through fingers. I can't help but feel somewhat protective of him, though, if he's really been suffering so much.
I didn't tell him everything. Of course not. I didn't even expect him to understand. But he... ....
The island's much easier to run with Headline's help - automating tasks, upkeeping databases, managing the energy generators, overseeing the resource recyclers... I'm grateful to have them.
