FFFFFFFFFFFFFIHATEYOUBUTNOTREALLYILOVEYOU. EVERYTHING YOU DO IS AWESOME. EVERYTHING. AND ESPECIALLY THIS. Amanda and I are still stealing your talent to sell shares of, so enjoy it while you can (muahahaha)

Has question(s): So his scarf can talk- does it have a specific sort of personality? CAN ITS NAME BE HAROLD? IS IT FRIENDS WITH THE SORTING HAT?

EVERYTHING YOU DO IS EQUALLY AWESOME, BITCH, DON'T GO SELLING YOURSELF SHORT OR I'LL COME OVER THERE AND BEAT YOU AROUND THE HEAD WITH MY CHEM BOOK. I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR CHARACTER, SHE IS SASSY AND AWESOME.
And we have discussed the stock issue, I REFUSE TO LET YOU TAKE AWAY ALL I HOLD DEAR, I'm keeping at least seventy-five percent of it, and I totally get some kind of income off whatever you sell, kaykay?

His scarf can talk, but I haven't decided how it's gonna be yet. I'm leaning towards snooty and elitist, but that doesn't make much sense as it's made of goat wool and was woven back in the Hills. /shrug
I'mma maybe make a little ref sheet for scarfy when I figure it out.

HE'LL GET A NAME WHEN I THINK OF A GOOD ONE, HAROLD WILL NOT BE HIS NAME, HE IS INDEED FRIENDS WITH THE SORTING HAT, AND THE SCARF OF SEXUAL PREFERENCE IS HIS COUSIN.

FIFTY. WE TAKE AT LEAST FIFTY PERCENT OR YOU GET NO PROFITS.

Can it be a snarky scarf? If only because Snarky Scarf sounds awesome? But snooty and elitist is good too. Maybe he picked it up in the city and it thinks it's too good for an elf that talks to inanimate objects and sets things on fire.

HOW BOUT GREGORY. OR ARTHUR. And speaking of sexual preference, is he (the elf whose name I still cannot spell, not the scarf) gay?

...NEVAH.
SIXTY. I GO NO LOWER!!!

It can be a very snarky scarf, that sounds excellent.
The scarf has always been snarky, but it gradualy became more cultured in the city. It's always spoken to Dahnnae, but, with the function, it can talk to other people.

ARTHUR MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK.
THAT'D BE AWESOME.

He is flamboyantly bisexual, actually, and is prone to one-night-stands with anyone who'll have him. (am I so predictable that you've figured out all my favorites like men?)
Relationships don't tend to work out once your partner learns you're insane, and Man is so much less accepting of insanity than the Children were.

/pouts/ Fine. You may keep sixty. Fifteen percent of the profits.

A talking snarky-scarf named Arthur. That is SO awesome. But if it's always spoken to him, as do other things, do ALL inanimate objects have consciousness? Or whatever that word is? DO THE WALLS REALLY HAVE EARS? (well not literally. But you know.)

... Ah. Well he IS wearing brightly striped pants. Flamboyancy is to be expected. So that brings me to another question: Relationship or no, is his friendship with the short one whose name I cannot spell either totally platonic?

BUT I LOVE YOU. AND WE'RE BOTH INSANE. <3

Jolly good, that's something, at least.

Quite.
What I've actually decided is that, before Dahnnae ran into Mudd, he really was crazy. He made up personalities for most of the things around him, and everything they've discussed has stemmed entirely from information he's already known.
But with the function "Communicate", it gradually translates from him being crazy to the things actually talking. I've decided that, if a thing is old enough, it develops a consciousness--with things in nature like rocks and trees, it's totally different from a human consciousness and mostly only the empaths (a magic-user whose magic is already aligned with a certain aspect of nature) can understand them. But for things that are made by humans or are constantly in contact with humans--so, like, a clock or a chair or the walls of a building--are heavily influenced by what goes on around them, and they begin to seem human like.
The function is slowly allowing Dahnnae to understand these things with human-like consciousness.
And I don't know if that explanation made any sense.

Well, that actually has little to do with it. Elves just like bright colors, and the stripes had to do with my attempt to make it steampunk.
I'm still working on that. So far, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with /kind of/. I think I'm going to change their meeting to a bit later, so they weren't friends so much as teacher/protege, until Bechen figured out Dahnnae's kind of a derp and doesn't really need teacher status. So Bech will still kind of have a hero-worship/crush thing on Dahnnae, and Dahnnae will be TOTALLY oblivious, until such a time as I choose to blow this info. Because Bech is way too proper to let a silly thing like a crush mess with his business relationships, and Dahnnae lives in his own little world.

NOTICE THAT YOU ADDED 'BOTH INSANE'.
Insane people do two things, when confronted with another insane person; decide they are a potential threat and act accordingly, or latch on and go 'OHMYGOD BEST BUDDIES FOR LIFEEE'

(I'm sorry you had to type all that. I will stop asking questions that require extensive backstories as answers.)

... Not reeeeeally, but I will just nod and smile.

AW THAT'S SO CUTE HOLY CRAP. (By the way, their names are now Becky and Danny in my mind. Gave up attempting proper spelling/pronunciation.)

Ohh thatexplainsit. I think that's the friendship demographic for our whole group, actually. NO WONDER WE'RE THE COOLEST PEOPLE IN SCHOOL.

'S no prob. Helped me think it through.
'Cept now I'm considering making up a sheet with 'additional info' or something...
God. /headdesk

I KNOW RIGHT.
And I'm totally stealing that. Becky and Danny, socute.
Except I gotta try to keep Bechen separate from my mom, if they share the same name. Awakwarddd.

IT IS A REQUIREMENT.
