Quote: It's a simple matter of limits of perception. Faite can still perceive the universe around her, but she can't *see* it all at the same time. And now because she's bound by time, she can't be at two places at the same moment. Therefore, by nature of being corporeal, she has to make choices, and be willing to let things go. Those are all new experiences for her, and really frustrating at times.Noted. Quote: Faite does know the difference between those who are evil and those who have had to make difficult decisions, and she puts Danny in that latter group. If he really pisses her off, she would consider spilling his secrets not to be a punishment, but more like letting him know that she won't keep secrets for him if he doesn't treat her well. That's a gift she gives to people who treat her like a friend. He probably would sense that about her though, which means he wouldn't push her to the point where she feels she has to do that.Danny has now demonstrated via the hellfire test that he is not terribly evil. The Hooded Hood would not have survived. Quote: I read that...and it's kind of funny, because it has a lot in common with conversations Lara Night has had with other evil types, if you boil it to the essence of "I see what you're doing, and I'm not impressed". Of course Lara does that because she knows there's a limit to what they can do to her.Sometimes it's satisfying to pit an intellectual bully against someone in his weight class. Quote: Also there's the problem where if people in the Parodyverse know she can change things, they start to become dependent on her. They'll do nothing to solve problems because they'll expect her to intervene. Indeed. And the problem when other entities of similar power prefer different outcomes, leasing to universe-splitting conflict. Quote: That's along the same lines of why Faite is so careful with changing things. She'll do so more regularly for friends who she knows are self-sufficient and don't need her interfering all the time. Strangers, however, she's extremely careful not to interfere, or to let no one know she did it.Given the "destinies" of many of her friends she would need to be especially cautious. Quote: I don't think [Kerry will] ever get so mature that she stops saying the first thing that pops into her head. That's like expecting Chiaki to become talkative instead of contemplative, or Lara to become blatantly assertive like Yuki instead of subtle.I have the advantage of having known Shep, so when I write Dancer I tend to channel adult-Shep and when I write Kerry I channel teen-Shep from when we first met. Teen Shep is the one who once chased me shouting, "See this stapler? You want to know what this stapler can do to you? DO YOU WANT TO ARGUE WITH THE STAPLER NOW?" | |||||||
