Standard Questions

Anonymous: What the ROs' dream wedding (or the Blest equivalent of that) be with MC? And who wouldn’t want to get married? I hope you’re having a great day!! 

Aw, thank you so much, anon! And great question!

Blade - would want to get married. Would prefer an intimate private ceremony with very close friends and family only. Preferably in a secluded location away from the public eye, in a place that had meaning to him and MC but could also be secured (he's seen way too many assassination weddings). He'd even get married in the Shepherds' compound if he could, lol. And he'd like all the frills that go with weddings (the cake, the dancing) but again, would prefer to celebrate only with people he trusts: no distant relatives he's never met before at his dream wedding!

Trouble - would want to get married. He's the type of guy who has really no preference when it comes to weddings and would go along with whatever MC wanted (except for food and drink. He'd like an input on that.) He would want to invite as many people as possible, have as many groomsmen as possible, and basically just include everyone in him and MC's love and joy. He would prefer to have the wedding in a location that was easily accessible by everybody: like Haven rather a remote destination wedding. 

Tallys - would hesitate about getting married (marriage is not an important thing in her culture) but would ultimately want to. She'd prefer to elope with like... two witnesses max and get married barefoot in a forest grove among the flowers and the deer. She thinks marriage and romance is something strictly between the couple, so her dream wedding would be something private that focused solely on her and MC.

Shery - would desperately want to get married. She'd love all the planning that goes into a wedding, and her dream wedding would be something in Haven that's cute as HELL. Cute cake, dessert and macaron bar, pastel pink floral centerpieces, beautiful dress... Ah, the little girl in her would scream! And of course, in her dream wedding, all of their dear friends and loved ones would attend... even her parents, who hopefully wouldn't start any drama!

Riel - would be indifferent to marriage itself (except the tax benefits are nice) but if they do get married, they're going to do it right. Riel's dream wedding would be a tasteful, classy, sophisticated affair that would blow all other weddings out of the water in its expense and refinement. He'd rent out Haven's (or some other large city's) finest manor and deck it floor to ceiling with things no one's ever seen before. Catered by an army of private chefs. Officiated by, like, the king of some foreign country. Have you ever seen what weddings are like in Singapore? Where the bride literally floats down the aisle as a cascade of water and flower petals washes over everyone's feet? It'd be like that. There would be a live orchestra, everyone would be required to wear formal wear, and no children would be allowed! 

Chase - would initially resist getting married, but eventually realize he wants to be MC's husband (but would get REALLY nervous the day of. Like not cold feet but definitely an attack of nerves). He wouldn't mind a low-key affair (akin to a courthouse marriage) followed by a great party reception afterwards to celebrate. Definitely need a feast, all of their friends and loved ones, and preferably a huge stack of wedding gifts in the corner for him to eye!

Red - would want to get married. Red would like a more traditional wedding (he's waiting at the altar while MC walks down the aisle, yada yada), but he also wouldn't mind a smaller backyard affair. He's always liked the idea of getting married in Capra, in his Circle's school, surrounded by his friends and family. Ideally, his sisters would be part of the bridal party or groom's party, and they would all party into the wee hours of the night!

Ayla - would be outwardly indifferent to marriage but would do it for MC (and secretly be really happy to do so). She wouldn't mind getting married in a barn or on a beach with no frills: just her, MC, and chairs for their friends to sit on. She wouldn't care for those extra things like a cake and flowers (the flowers are just going to die... the cake is just like a normal cake but really expensive... what a waste) and would be just impatient to skip to the private wedding night part, haha!

Lavinet - would need to get married. She has been planning this day all her life. She knows exactly what she's going to wear, what they're going to eat, and who they're going to invite. (Oh, you don't think she started compiling a potential guest list as soon as she started to fall for MC? You don't know her at all, do you?) As long as she looks like the most beautiful and graceful bride anyone's ever seen, she'll be happy. (But her dream wedding would really take place in a grand church in Haven or at the beautiful historic palace or gorgeous beach resort of some princess.)

Spoiler Questions

Anonymous: What were the ROs' first impressions of MC?

This is a bit hard to answer because a lot of it depends on how you interacted with them and what choices you took: Blade's first impression of MC is more favorable, say, if you stayed to fight the Endarkened rather than ran away, or if you joined the Shepherds immediately instead of being conscripted! But speaking in the most general terms...

Blade (business-like and assessing): MC seems strong. They'd make a valuable addition to the Order. 

Trouble (enthusiastic): MC seems cool. It'd be neat if they could join up! I'd like to be their friend and watch their back!

Tallys (mildly intrigued): They seem interesting... and attractive... but I need to know more about them.

Shery (apprehensive): MC seems nice... I really hope they don't die...

Chase (very intrigued): They're unique. I've never met anyone like them... I need to stick around just to learn more!

Riel (guarded): They seem nice, but there's something about them that seems... different. Almost off. I'm a bit suspicious... And why are they so secretive about their past?

Red (grateful [if he didn't already know them]): I can't believe MC is trying to help us, total strangers, with our problem. I'll have to find a way to repay them...

Ayla (a bit jealous and insecure): They're powerful, and they have everything I don't have. It's not quite fair...

Lavinet (MEGA intrigued): Ooh-la-la! This is very exciting!! I've never met anyone like MC!!! I need to get closer to them ASAP!!! I'm obsessed!!!!

Anonymous: How would the ROs kiss MC for the first time? 

Blade: passionately, desperately, and fiercely

Trouble: hesitantly, tenderly, and softly

Tallys: confidently, efficiently, and business-like

Shery: almost petrified, awkwardly, and very shyly

Riel: stiffly, forcefully, like he's never kissed anyone before and he's forcing himself through his nerves

Chase: tantalizingly, seductively, and teasingly, trailing his lips slowly over theirs before going in for the actual kiss and leaving them wanting more

Red: a quick peck at first, then slower and deeper kisses as he grows more sure

Ayla: hard, blazing, almost angry kiss where she grabs you by the ears and crashes your lips together

Lavinet: nervous, trembling, excited, eager for more but holding herself back

Anonymous: Why... why does Croelle only eat meat?

That's all he needs to survive! He can eat other food, but it doesn't give him any actual nutrition...

NSFW Questions

Anonymous: Which ROs prefer fast and rough, soft and slow, or it depends on the mood?

Blade - depends on the mood, but he prefers soft and slow over fast and rough unless they've been apart for some time!

Trouble - depends on the mood and it's really split 50/50 for him!

Tallys - prefers slow, languorous, and long-lasting--the kind of sex that lasts for hours!

Shery - depends soft and slow for sure; she would not enjoy fast and rough in the least!

Riel - in the beginning he'd prefer soft and slow, but over time he'd come to really appreciate fast and rough and prefer that!

Chase - he likes to take his time for sure. I wouldn't call it soft but he definitely goes more slow than fast and likes to draw it out! He likes bringing his partner to the edge of climax multiple times before denying them teasingly.

Red - prefers tender and loving and reverent over being rough, which I don't think he could ever bring himself to do!

Ayla - prefers a quick and almost efficient pace: she can be rough and passionate, and she doesn't let up or let MC tap out until they've begged for it multiple times!

Lavinet - prefers slow foreplay but ultimately a fast and rough fucking... she gets impatient for it by the end!

Anonymous: Which ROs masturbate the most? 

Probably Shery, Tallys, Trouble, and Ayla masturbate the most frequently (in that order, with Shery doing it pretty much every day and Ayla doing it twice to three times a week); Red, Lavinet, and Chase are on the average (??) spectrum, maybe once a week (less for Chase if he's courting somebody at the moment); and Blade and Riel on the very low end of the spectrum!
