I will, of course, accept wedding gifts all year round, every year. Especially shiny ones.

*Message from Toppats*

What do you think of Ammo-less air gun?

Have you seen or heard demiplane that moving in Astral plane?

(Sent in envisioning)Can stereotype Pleroma turn quintessence into any of skymetals?

Never heard of it, never been there, and I have no idea.

Do you ever think about old adventuring parties you've outlived? Anyone in particular you'd bring back, if you could pluck them out of time, or Pharasma's Boneyard?

On a more tangentially related note, have you ever gotten on a psychopomp's bad side?

I think about them often, but I wouldn't pull them back, because they'd just die on me again, and I don't want to endure a friend's death more than once, nor do I see myself as worthy of yanking someone back from the afterlife just to make me feel better.

Those psychopomps are hard to understand though. I get on enough folks' bad sides that I assume I've annoyed at least a few psychopomps, yeah.

Hello Merisiel, What do you think of the city of Otari ?

It's a cute little place to visit! I quite like it.

Merisiel:

Has the association between bats and Urgathoa that has affected all of us since late 4719AR, but especially in 4720AR, made you more cautious of them?

Can't be more cautious when the caution scale was already maxed out.

After fighting that fighting a Aldori Swordlord. How would you compare their swordplay with that of a Samurai?
I prefer samurai fighting. It's more deliberate, thoughtful, and decisive. Aldori swordfighting feels a bit more impromptu and flashy, like they're trying to show off a little bit.
Excellent evvalution. One last question. Would you rather obtain and wield a Samurai's katana or the Aldori's dueling sword?

Katana for SURE.

Out of you adventures have you ever encounter a transhuman?

Oooh I missed this question I guess... but that might be because I'm not sure what you're asking. Sounds like you're using one of those strange science-fiction future talk words that don't get much use on Golarion.

Kurgess
Milani
Naderi

Shrug. No real view on most of those, except I do like who worshipers of Besmara dress, and am actively grossed out by how worshiper sof Ghlaunder dress.

Finally <3

...will Merisiel be working on "acquiring" a shipment of Sun Orchid Elixir or some other longevity magic? I want these two to have a long happy life together.

Who says I don't already have a dose stashed away?

Merisiel Silvari,

Have you started a Sun Orchid Elixir fund? You know to put a little bit of every batch of loot aside to save up for later.

I think it's cute that you think I save up money to buy things.

That said, there's PLENTY of awful people who buy the Sun Orchid Elixir. Snatching their dose out from under them before they drink it is so much more rewarding.

Do you prefer a whiskey drink, or a vodka drink? Perhaps a lager drink? Maybe a cider drink?
Mmm cider is the best, with sweet wine being second best and rum being third best. Whiskey and vodka are fine. Lager is nasty; it's like drinking foamy dirt.
more for me!

Yay! I'm helping!

Congratulations on your heartbond ritual with Kyra!

Were there any thoughts from Kyra that you weren't expecting her to think? (Over the mind bond, I mean)

Yay! Thanks!

It's not that detailed; it's like hearing someone whisper in your ear. Which is still pretty nice!

That sounds lovely. Do you ever whisperthink inappropriate things to her during important boring conversations just to make her blush out of nowhere?

That's kinda the best part of whisperthinking.

Sorry Merisiel, I occasionally forget to subdue my slang when talking with folks born up outside my own neck o’ the woods — I mean hometown. I meant private investigator! Me and some friends were thinking of freelancing with this newfangled security agency whatsnamed Edgewatch, and hoped you might have some general words of wisdom, being the world-class mystery-solver ye are.

Oh! In that case, I still have no advice, since I'm not a joiner. If we need a private investigator, I'll ask Quinn or Lem or someone to step in and then give me a call if something fun or interesting... like treasure... happens.

Not sure where you got the idea that I'm a world-class mystery-solver, though. I guess that's a benefit of hanging around the right folks and letting their fame wash off on me.

Any advice you’d give to new PIs taking up the case in the prestigious boulevards and back alleyways of Absalom?

Also, do you enjoy Absalom? Would you want to live there?

No advice comes to mind, since I don't know what a PIs is. Is it one of those things you call "typos" on your side of the internet?

Absalom is fine; it's a sprawling city that has mostly everything and anything you'd want from a city. I've lived there before for a few years. It was fine. Not my favorite, but not my least favorite.

Favourite City?

Sandpoint.

Spoiler:
It's where I met Kyra, after all.

Six foot three. Although a lot of those who have illustrated me tend to shorten me up. I guess they're intimidated by my awesomness and stabbyness and are trying to address their fears.
... you're a tall woman.

For you humans, maybe. Kinda the norm for us elves.

Hey Merisiel, I was considering joining a circus. Have you ever been part of a circus? What advice do you have?

Any adventuring group that includes Lem, Valeros, Amiri, or Lini is kinda a circus. My advice is to embrace the whimsy and enjoy the unexpected. And to never trust a clown.

Do you think you could get along with a weapon that talked to you? ...Or perhaps more appropriately, could you get along with a weapon that talked back to you?

I’m asking because I’ve got this singing sword I’m looking to hand off for a very reasonable price. :}

Depends on the weapon and its personality and sense of humor and how stabby it was.

Have you felt any different recently? Stabbier perhaps?

Also, what is your favorite pet? (Even if you don't have one, it shouldn't stop you from liking a specific animal^^)

I haven't. I've had plenty of favorite pets, but I tend to prefer cats or lizards or Sarenites overall. Tried keeping a wasp once and... nope. Won't be doing THAT again.

Bats are right out. Gross.

Well slippers I just think they look like something you wouldent go adventuring in. Plus the boots allowed her to hide more knives
Blame Bulk.

Lots of knives is certainly fun... but the more badass you get, the fewer knives you actually need.

Yes she is.

That's private.
