"Huh, does it even have singing and osanwë as answers?"

Permalink

"No. There's ice, healing, shadow manipulation, fire, summoning, time manipulation, lightning, regeneration, and cursed magic."

"What's cursed magic?"

Permalink

The dream entity makes some noise which sounds like someone clearing their throat.

"Cursed
Weapon: None
Object: Dark crown
Weakness: Unknown"

"Unfortunately, you have received cursed magic. This is the most powerful magic there is. The user who practices this kind of magic is cursed with insanity. It will make the user go completely mad with power and kill anything in their way. It causes nothing but mayhem and destruction for anything or anyone that is unlucky enough to come into contact with them. They're known as the dark emperor/empress. Cursed with not only insanity and infinite power. They are nearly immortal. There is a way to stop them, but right now it is unknown. It all started with a crown that you placed upon your head."

"Will you wear the crown or turn away from it?"

Since Beka lives before the creation of the Rings of Power, her response is: "...weird."

Permalink

"I had a look at the questions for this quiz and they aren't full of pictures that it would be annoying to try to have you visualize, or questions about your date of birth in a calendar system you don't use, so it seemed like a reasonable choice to me."

Permalink

"Sure!"

Permalink

"The opener is kind of silly."

"Welcome to the quiz. I hope you enjoy it. Shall we begin?
A. Let's
B. Begin"

Permalink

"It is kind of silly! I guess 'begin' makes more sense alone."

Permalink

"First, What is your favorite season?
A. Winter
B. Summer
C. Spring
D. Autumn."

"Seasons are a phenomenon on parts of the surface of many worlds where how much sun exposure they get varies. It ends up colder in the times with less sun and warmer in the times with more sun. It's coldest in winter, and hottest in summer, and spring is the winter-summer transition, while autumn is the summer-winter transition. And then the life on the surface reacts to that, which can also affect people's preferences."

"Huh! How does life react?"

Permalink

"There are big plants that are leafless in winter, grow new leaves in spring, and then have their leaves turn different colors and fall off in autumn. There are animals that move between warmer and colder places based on the season so that they can always have their preferred temperature. Lots of plants flower in the spring. In the summer and autumn various edible plant parts are at their best."

"Ooh, flowers, I pick spring."

"What Negative trait would you say you possess?
A. Manipulating
B. Vengeful
C. Short-Tempered
D. Selfish
E. Greedy
F. Stubbornness
G. Arrogant
H. Pretentious
I. Laziness"

Permalink

"Huh. ...aren't selfish and greedy the same?"

Permalink

"I think you can be selfish without wanting all that strongly to get more things, and greedy but with a bit of willingness to share things with people you like? Certainly the two aren't totally separate, though."

Permalink

"I guess I'm kinda manipulating and kinda vengeful but I'm not sure which I'm more of."

Permalink

"We could flip a coin?"

Permalink

 

"Why does the quiz think being vengeful is a negative trait?"

Permalink

"Well, it might lead you to overreact. Like, if someone was going to sit somewhere with their friend, and their friend got the better seat, a vengeful person might be tempted to find some opportunity to deniably shove them in response."

Permalink

"...oh that isn't what I was imagining at all. So I guess maybe I'll go with manipulative - or, uh, can I have an example of that too -"

Permalink

"When someone asks you for information relevant to them making a decision, you carefully only give them information that you think will lead to them making the decision you want? It, uh, makes sense to do that a lot in Angband, probably, but the amount that probably makes sense here is probably too much in a lot of other places."

Permalink

"But I'm answering for Angband me not apartment me, right?"

Permalink

"I think Angband you, so if you do it a lot it might make sense to pick it here even if you probably shouldn't stop."

Permalink

"Okay, manipulative then."
