Favorite Superhero

What is your most prized possession?

I think we've talked a bit about it in the past Qna's !! check the bulletin!

WELL my prized possession is my lil 7 tipped blade!

One to murder every Gray Mage I see, and the final one to murder The Tempest!

//looks at self

I-I better not talk about that...

Yep I agree. I shouldn't

What makes you feel the most guilty?

For the purpose of keeping our webcomic spoilerless...


I THINK THIS IS ANOTHER PSIONIC DRAGON INCURSION WHO IS TRYING TO WREST INFORMATION FROM US!!!

RUUUN!!!

//sQUEALSS


FLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT NOW! NOT NOW!!!

BYE!!

I kinda feel guilty for doing what I did. I think??

Oh yepps Me and Lighti here. We both agree with eachother.


There's been stuff in the longetivity of our angelic lives that we've seen. And Guilty things are a thing.

MHMM!! //looks at Pallath

L-LIGHTY!!!

Do you believe in fate?

hmm? Our actions in Crysanthanum often have sway on important events in history. However, not every outcome will be known, nor will they be predictable. We do our best to have our sway in fate.

Well specifically, we are specialists in preventing the 'Bad Endings' kind of fates. Nobody wants to live in a universe which has a horrible fate. We...try to prevent that.


WOOOH WHAAAT?

I don't know either lil bat. I don't think I want to know either.

That's a...strange topic. I've read much mythologies about fate and selfsame lots of philosophical concepts about fate and its constructs. I still struggle to find my belief: Do we live in an indeterminate universe? Is everything we do sealed? 
Is it sealed for a good reason?


Again, I still feel like that this might just be another mortal 'arbitrary designated line which tries to describe something out of thin air' kind of phenomena. It's like Wolfdragons describing colors to a Mountain Dragon. Very fickle in the end.

I BELIEVE IN A FATE WHERE THE TEMPEST IS FOREVER VANQUISHED. AND LILIPUT IS FREED.

W-woah there... It's kind of a touchy subject.

Astrologically I mean.

like...

I don't think the Morals would like me talking about them behind their backs. Neither would I want to arouse enough suspicion that they write some strange fate for me, no -oh -ope.


/respectfully

I think I've seen enough. 


and I agree as well.


I've seen enough.


Yep.

Yep.

What is your dream house like?

Somewhere big enough for everyone. Just right, not too small, but it shouldn't be too tall either. I'd love it to be cozy tiny <3

The house will be Portalis shaped. and BIGG. full of snacks MM * w *

An underground house would be charming!!

I CANNOT DESCRIBE OR LOCATE MY FAVORITE PLACE OF RESIDENCE FOR THE SAFETY OF MY MICEFOLK AND FOR LILIPUT!!

I like sleeping out in the open =w=... Windows count too since the others (kinna and pallath) said so

- In your opinion, which character is the scariest? And additionally, who is the LEAST scary?

I think Thermonuclear Detogon is so hecking scary. He's one of the Devons. One touch of him can make an entire city conflagerate. It's like the condensed fist of the sun. And he answers nobody but Farsighter. Taking h is words sometimes too literally ToT. I've butted heads with him in the past...albiet unintentionally. It was AWFUL.


Era is probably the least scariest. He's a lil wholesome pupper... Also a Devon.

ANY AND EVERY PORTAL BAT IS SCARY. YOU CAN'T HOLD ME NO ON THAT. THEY ARE FWICKING TEWIFYINGHGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT EVER WANNA SEE EM AUSDSJFDLKSDF //POUT

the least scariest character I can think of is Teora. Since we trust eachother the most lots. I:

My sister. My sister... She's on my mind a lot. It scares me to think that she could be disguised as anyone, at any moment. She and her strange mimosan curse ><.

least scary would probably be those faes who want the universe to be wiped clean of any non-dragon shaped thing. They are goofy and small.

They are still really awful and morally corrupt creatures though

I used to be afraid of things. Trivial stuff. But ever since the Air Supremacy loomed over me and took countless lives of my kin. Took everything from us.

I now will one day FIGHT THEM. AND TO DEFEAT THEM. NOTHING WILL SCARE ME!!

The One Above All for sure

as for the least scariest, it's probably whoever Pallas-Athena is gonna reveal 👀. If she does so that is. hehe

Hmmm... hmm...

is scaryness a mortal feeling? What if I said that it's best I withhold this existential nightmare only I am privvy to? It will for sure make ahem, one of the scariest characters hmm. 👀


If you could ask any single  character a question and they would have to answer it truthfully, who  would it be and what would you ask?

I would like to ask Farsighter. Though I think it'll cause paradoxes. I think me even describing that question here will cause paradoxes.

MY EMERALD GODDESSA. ABOUT THE PORTALBATS. WHYYY

My big sis, assuming she isn't trying to murder me that is. You need to lock her in a room and give her all sorts of restraints before I'd dare coming near. Personal question, ahem.

Ichor. I WOULD ASK ICHOR. WHY WHY AND HOW SHE CAN FLY LIKE THAT

I would love to ask Tempest, however only in the condition I can killem afterwards.

Does asking myself count? 

Oh nvm

I forgor

If you had to loose one of the 5 main senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, or touch) which one would you choose?

That's a really sensitive question for me I think. Especially what happened to me after the Crystal Empire event.

BULLSITTERY!! US PORTALBATS HAVE THOUSANDS OF SENSES. AND BULLSITTERY IS ONE!!

How high or low is your pain tolerance?

Does it count if you don't make any noise? or show any expression when you are in pain? Because if so than my pain tolerance is infinity.

When I get hurt really badly I'd cry and it'd go away so I'm in this ever circle of crying away till my pain is gone so does that count as low pain tolerance? cause I make it go away fast?

dunno am immortal

I can prove it

PORTALIS DON'T

dunno am immortal

dunno am immortal (somewhat)

dunno I feel nothing

I WILL KEEP TOLERATING PAIN UNTIL MY SOUL GIVES IN!!!

BUT MY PAIN TOLERANCE WILL REACH UNSURMOUNTABLE LEVELS THE MOMENT I GET NEAR ANYTHING TEMPEST RELATED!! 

IN FACT I WILL TURN THE PAIN TOLERANCE AROUND AND SHOVE IT RIGHT DOWN THEIR (air mage)'s THROATS

What are you most insecure about?

(I think the default Teora reaction would be. "shush don't tell anyone our weaknesses")

Shush don't tell anyone our weaknesses!

NABBED IT

What kind of interesting interstellar artifacts has the team found?

I found a little interesting bean when travelling through the slipstream. She's light as a feather and sweet as cakerolls!!

Why won't you say hi cloudy <3

H-hi

-hands over to Pallas-Athena-

She (Cloudy) say's it's a special power which lets u slip between the slipstream and back without much effort!! I think the team would love to say hi!

How do you say hi in your culture?! *w*

I- I don't really know the dragon gesture of meet and greet... I guess in my society we pick each other up and hold a bit...as a way to say hi? 'u'

SLIPSTREAM CREATURE!!!! *W* *W* *W* *W* *W* GASP!! ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US!!

-clings onto with both pawbs- 

W-woah!! C-cloudy, ur light!!!!! really nice to meet you, divine angel or lucid being from the slipstream~!

T-thanks dearest! It's nice to see such comelyness instead of being swept around in the slipverse!

might or might be internally screaming

I have 99 pawbeans! nice to meet you Nuages!

//lowers pawbs respectively for lifting

OAO!! 

Thank you Opal! It's really nice to see friend like faces! 


//gets carried like a breadloaf

//bows gently at Nuages

Thanks for visiting us, We-

//climbs on to back

hi to you as well ^_^""

CREATURE!!

//carries Portalis

OH!! I REMEMBER YOU! BUT MAYBE I SHOULDNT SAY MUCH AS TO NOT VIOLATE ANY SPACE TIME LAWS OF EXISTENCE!!!


//IMMEDIATELY DROPS BLADE

WOAH. A MICEDRAGON CHALLENGE...?!

TIME FOR ME TO SAY HI

runs off and picks up Nuage...


O______________O //maw agape not expecting this one bit...

IN THE NAME OF MEISTER AND MOUSEY. NUAGE . DO YOU DEFY GRAVITY??!

Blessed you kindred creature! How do dragons often say hi to (mouse-shaped) creatures? if I may ask?

OH YEAH!!

WE TAKE THEM

AND CRATER THEM!!


USUALLY LIKE THAT!!

//glares at Rye in a respectfully but feary manner

gtg I'll see y'all at the fireside if you have more questions <3 

What is your opinion on rules and laws? Do they define you or do you live on the edge??

The rules of this centerpiece have failed us. Its ruling hand leaning towards the binary. The extreme. The nonexistent. In their darkness they are veiled & in sunlight they deceit. Unentitling angels. Scaring us mortals. Leaving us to the bare minimum; the rules of mother nature. Her elements already in dissaray. Embodied and fighting. Strifing naught as physics but as nations and empires. Fire, Metal, Lightning, Ice. Feral, wild. Natural intentions betraying their purpose. So we question the fragile reality in advent of the laws of nature.  

Leaving us to look within us for answer. An answer I see as one of hope and welldoing. especially between me and my portalbat. A trust in my intuition and that of my friends. A compass only we understand.


And its CRISIS affects ME. Stockades, Blockads stopping banans. Treelands deserted as the spectrums FIGHT eachother. Lifecows wrested from palms of dragon. yogurt gone for MONTHS ughy. I see faes, and flies, and Queens, rummage through it all. BITING through my snacks,,, but not eating it. Belittling it until it's a number. Belittling ME in the process!! Locking it away from ME. us. I look at my paws again and question if THIS it's what it's meant to be. Kings and faes. Flies and sludge. Sifting their dirty palms through oasis and dough. turning gold into detritus. Reducing food into nothing but an information a NUMBERS IN A BOOK. I try to think of other worlds. Other places where... //salivates ... Banans might exist... and lifecows (the plants we get milk from ;w;) are exist too... But then I remember


THAT This is the same look they make. The grotesque look as their eyes scan the skies. Looking for diamonds in the ROUGHS. Ready to peel away the thicket of forests, of banana peel, and the foodmeat, and everything inbetween. unmaking yoghurt. AND EVERYTHING INBETWEEN. its unmaking so harsh that it's blazing like the light of a CANDIE CANDLE= for one drop of unobtainium. I SEE THAT LOOK and I don't want to be one of them HUPH.

And so as the dust settles, and I'm counting the finite beans upon my palms. I ask myself if all of that was really worth it. Something so abstract that it falters world spirits, and the Centerpiece. And the Crysanthanum, and the Deer-Dragons. I wrote a book once. a fantasy. I looked at prompts and it was pretty. "make the perfect laws for your world" it said. and so I sat an thought through my lil opal noggin. In the name of Vera I feel clairvoyant as t he ideas touch paper. But at the end of the day the book is stored on a shelf. A shelf which is dustied and clearly ravaged by time. I know not of what timeline of which my writings will be whisked through. But the elements do scare me. Like the ink I write, which dries and fades unevenly. I feel it happens just like that... Centerpiece after centerpiece slowly loose that kindle, that first penstrike upon paper. "Opal has the best idea", gets reduced to "Has Idea" interspersed with mysterious spacing. Followed that with the little declination I make, when I wholly in this context proclaim that only I am the perfect one to enact that LAW in my headworld. Oh so it's then written.

I revisit this sometime in the future. kobolds have heard of my ramblings. they've sung my tune and some have taken idol to my idea. I feel troubled. I feel the way Vera did. What idea is it in the end that the finite focus a mortal and an angel can make? they shine the light, but all that the light reaches is but a figment of the universe of my words. Ofcourse the kobolds have only read the first page, never considering there's a page after. I frown that I've kept my most obscene ideas on the first page. a little magna carta comedy of I belittling everything silly in a silly way. The first page was meant like an antonym of what I'd write in the headworld. But sadly the kobolds have enacted it law.


and thus I quit that roleplay session.

ITS DONE ME NO GOOD. NO GOOD FOR WHAT RULES AND LAWS HAVE IMPOSED US. It brings us only suffering and torture. the laws came one by one. First from Tpaz and then from Biblos. and then from Valley of Mines, and then from Shorva. Each of those nations once allied good falling one by one. as I watch in disbelief; the Elechtonian Alliance vaporising before my eyes. I think the gaze was the same I had with my partner in crime, a turquoise cat. I remember when the likes of the Xinda family held allegience and were voted into the house of rats and mice. my tummy fell to my mousetrap. They truly abide by the rules, but the rules betrayed them back.

They looked at air and called it merciful. They point at clouds and say that clouds would never betray.


Yet they do not know that the elements no longer serve nature. That logic leaves tyrants who tunnel with intention. The Tempest's greed. Dissolving Myssimo piece by piece. Where we were once everywhere were we scuttled till all but Liliput. I remember it so well.

It took Mousey Tots to betray the world spirit to come back and get us on track. dunno for the worse or better. Shall the Xinda have ruled over us would the same fate that befell Myssimo happen to us all.

No I do NOT follow rules. None but that of Mousey. But here we are. In this holdout which is about the size of a huge library. All of us Micedragons. Pretty much bastioned to that.

I'm okay with Rules and laws on the event my team... sniff. would truly agree for it. 

Us angels do have a good time wrapping around the different constructs and laws of natures in the universe. Of the affinities and elements and all such. But.. what confounds me...well us one of the mostest are these conceived concepts of Mortals as they roleplay elements of nature as they try to say they can make this rule or that rule... It's like if Catawounce's mortal believers suddenly tried to explain how water should work in their domain!!. It just doesn't make a lot of sense!! I don't know it's a very interesting but strange observation., Mortals creating their own physics and all, naming it 'law'.

I usually go along with it if my team gives the 'ok'. I don't really know why it be like that. But to see mortals 'fall into place' when they walk the outskirts of a law is interesting. Imagine if positrons (uh- I meant electrons) listened to some arbitrary limit some mortal decides to set. the entire universe would vanish

However though, if you are asking about free will. Then know I'm super giddy and happy about it. Me, and my true Dei (as I feel so) would love it.

For the most part, I've typically dwelled outside of this so called rules and laws playbook. It's pretty standard for my old team. Skirting outside of it and so called so. This law, these sets of rules, are nothing but rumblings to me. ne'er was I taught the full extent of it. An it irks me that it changes past every arbitrary set border u cross around the world. Everything suddenly changing rightside up, inside in. Sort of whip-lashing you back and forth until you finally ask yourself - which one is the rightest, which one should I follow. I guess the question itself is mildly beyond the metaphysical as I insofar my ruminations glean. Something supposedly us angels are masters at, the abstract. But it's all words in the end from what I've asked Rosethorne to tell. Something something. A tenet, more tenets, and then they just keep feeding you tenets and tenets and tenets. Some discipline among the way, some more tenets, some cautions. At some point you wonder if this is too much for mortals. I know when they fumble, and it's understandably so (although sometimes kinda awkward seeing one trip over words), we all change through time. And like I told MYSELF. I don't trust me or others selfsame rules to stay consistent or constant. There's too much intersections, inversions, paradoxes which arises from words, and negations. At some point I think it's best if I bin it.


Bin it and follow my role models. like Lighti. "":3c

T-thanks ;///;

How easy is it to earn your trust?

I trust my team, and Rye, and Pallas-Athena. It sorta ends with that.

We'd always be ready to take a scolding in the Tetrakaidehedron for Rose :) if that's what you meant.

EVERYONE IN THIS TEAM!!

AGREE

VERY YES, especially with kinna and Greenie /respectably

G-greeny...😳

Listen. I'll SNORE at you.

I UH... AGRE!

If you could live anywhere in the galaxy, where would it be?

ANYWHERE BUT THE OIL DIMENSION(literally a thing and a huge part of headworld). WHEW THAT PLACE IS MIIISERABLE!!

-mortally clueless-

-also mortally clueless- ToT

ANY GALAXY WHICH BANS PORTAL BATS!! I WILL LIVE AS A FUGITIVE BUT AT LEAST I WONT MEET THEM!!!

the part of the galaxy made by the spilled blood of a dead t empest.

I would like to live in a star system which contains 7 stars. Hear me out. One is Orange, another is less orange, and then I want another star to be white, and I want a star which is pink, and then I want the final two stars to be violet with one being a lighter shade!!! I WOULD SUNBATHE.


but the idea of living next to a Przybylski type star is interesting. Not for me though, but definitely for my foes heh :3c

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE YOU SILLY LIL ANGEL. I SEE IT

If you could turn back time and prevent one thing that happened in history, what event would you stop?

We don't often get authorized to travel back in time. Usually in order to minimize the possibilities of nasty paradoxes from occuring. 

Though. However. However!! 

The Devons do it all the time to fight calamities. And... It gets very very interesting. Maybe all is an overstatement, but eitherway.

In fact. It's the Modus Operandi of being part of Crysanthanum. To Fight Calamities before it materializes. So how do we do this? usually. We get assigned missions. Missions to meet Calamities right at their flashpoint!!

Is someone about to invent a weapon that will instantly detonate our world? Flashpoint, we get sent to a flashpoint? Is something very very nasty about to happen to a bunch of innocents which will devolve into a worldwide conflict? again we wait at the flashpoint and fight it head on!!


For us. We are more of an uh.. Scouting team. We hide under the guise of shadows and try to prospect stuff from afar. We try not to engage in conflicts but-

PORTALIS DOES WHATEVER XE WANTS!!!!!!!!!

-...pretty much.

Sometimes I think of Bygonia. Like, what would happen if I went back,, and prevented all of my kin from perishing...
But then I remember that the source of Actinium is limited in this universe. Had the painful event not transpired, we would've all perished within a week.

I know Teora thinks the same about the Crystal Empire of Vera sometimes, and it stresses him as well...especially the crystal city. Fighting off the Air, Fire, Metal empire all at once is a pretty herculean task. I don't think it would be permitted either way as all Crysanths would cease to exist.

STABBY STAB THE TEMPEST RIGHT WHERE IT MAKES HIM EXPLODE!!
DELETE HIM FROM EXISTING SO MY KIN IN LILIPUT WILL BE FREE!!

That implies it has a weak point. Finding a weakpoint on a deity is nigh impossible.

That's why I use an orbital gay laser cannon!

I've... You've. Caught my interest

I would've really wanted to prevent him from flying. I would also like to prevent her from agreeing.

Whomst?

(O-Oh I just realised.  little mice is here) AHEM - 

I WOULD'VE LOVED TO PREVENT TEORA FROM FLYING INTO AN UH...

IDK FLYING INTO A BLACK HOLE!!

Lightiii ToT you and your daydreams!

I would look at myself. Twice. and tell myself. No the --- you don't. and then I would agree. :3c 

But nobody would understand so I give the :3c face

I'm still sorta here but I'm mid hibernation

Question 1. 

If you could have mastery of any ability, what would it be and why?

Crystalweaving Please just for once, I want to perfect my ability of Crystalweaving. At least just enough so I don't spoil my namesake ;' and have others secondhand embarassed at my affinity


have you seen the times I've managed to encase my paws in Ametrine or infact... my entire body in crystal from just trying to summon a crystal in battle o//n//o

 It works half the time...so it can get scary in battles when my powers don't know what's friend or foe (not that I've ever foe'd anyone).


OPEN A UNIVERSE SIZED RIFT AND GENTLY PEER THROUGH IT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!! TEEHEE

That littel being is goig to astrologically turn us all into a kaleidoscope. RESPECTABLE... But I don't think it's healthy for mortals!! UwU

O-OH it's bad? ;; I guess I won't. I NEED TO RESPECT THE MORTALS as Teora says!!

No banana smoothies if you do uou. Remember our promise

Don't tell me u plan to origami us

Turn my invisibility to very-visibility! I'm still very shy!! but maybe there's an element out there which does the opposite of that! We'll see -chomps on nugget-

THE ABILITY OF...

LIBERATING LILIPUT AND DAZEN AND XHUCCALAE AND LAPUTA!!!!

ur so hecking valid Rye :bless:

Brings a tear to my eyelids I think... all its stories 

ME?? I don't know I already mastered my ability. though...
