The most surprised I’ve ever been? Almost certainly the time a Master helped me shovel the snow from my front steps! I suppose it’s more likely given that I live within a spire of the Bazaar, but it was still quite unexpected. They usually send someone else to do that kind of physical labor.
What is the most precious item you own?
My most precious -item-? Were the question about my most precious -thing- the answer would surely be my library. Even now my floors grown with its weight and I must need find new lodging. But item … a single thing … that would be my Counterfeit Head of John the Baptist; I am waiting until just the right moment to do something entirely depraved with it …
Question: Rubbery Men: Friends, Foes, or Lovers?
Have I mentioned my Hallowmas vision of the Liberation of Night? (DragonRidingSorceress manages a self-deprecating smile, although it seems forced.) I have, haven’t I? Just a bit.
What is your favourite toy?
I have a set of seven stones, covered in carvings from which light pours like water. While thay don’t fit the traditional meaning of “toy,” I certainly play with them.
Despite the bloodstains that I have yet to actually get out of that rug.
What is your most embarrassing mistake?
My most embarrassing mistake? Ever allowing that fool crony Edward bury me alive. I have only my plant to thank for avoiding a trip on the river.
Why did you come to the Neath?
It sounded exciting. I only planned to come for a bit of a vacation, but it was such a great place, I decided to make it my home.
How many times have you died?
[Sorry about that. I completely forgot to add a question.]

Arol, you need to ask a question after answering.
More than I can count, now. I was so upset the first time it happened, too - I was determined that I would stay alive so that I could make it back to the Surface one day. And then I tried to bluff a Spider Council. (DragonRidingSorceress shows you a set of nasty looking scars.) Bad idea, don’t do it. As a matter of fact, if you are given the option, avoid Spider Councils altogether.
How are you sleeping?
Not particularly well. I’ve grown leery of laudanum as of late, though, so I may elect to take a trip to the Mirror Marches soon.
There are many in the Neath that the general populous despises. Which do you like the most? Or, if that is not apllicable, which do you hate the least?
I am very fond of the Rubbery Men. They are harmless, and quite sweet, and they always seem a little lost. I’m not sure why they’re so disdained.
What do you think of the Empress?

I forgot she exists.
Give the Green-Eyed Devil black eyes or tie the lips of the Quiet Deviless into a knot?

Why stop there? I’ve done a few experiments of pain on my Green-Eyed Devil and removed his eyes. It was a sight to behold.
Speaking of eyes, what do you think of Sorrow-Spiders?

They and I… have had to come to an understanding. I’m a Glassman, they travel through mirrors. Fortunately; I always wear my spectacles…
So what do you think about those crazy cultists by the observatory?
A bit daft, but not too bad. At least they’re looking for knowledge.
What do you think is North?
Solomon: Treasure. Treasure beyond your wildest dreams. Treasure beyond even the Master’s power. That’s why you’re discouraged, you see?
Why are you aligned with who you are?
I am currently aligned with The Great Game; I sold them a secret and now they think we are best friends forever. My -real- people, of course, are the Bohemians (they accept and love my scandalous self).
Question: Have you taken an non-human lover? Who or what was it?[li]
edited by Lady Sapho Byron on 1/22/2015
Not yet. Or at any rate, not to my knowledge. I am currently considering propositions from certain parties of a Rubbery nature, but they require commitments I’m not sure I’m ready to fulfill just yet.
Incidentally, do you ever see yourself committing to another once and for all? And is that commitment to be exclusive?
Yes. I intend to marry a jewel theif, so I can use him.
What is your favorite non-human faction?

Arol: Hell. Who doesn’t love all that infernal fun?
Amber: Rubbery Men. They’re just so adorable, in a creepy cephalopod way.
If someone paid you enough, would you help dissect a Master?
Solomon: Heck, if I could be guaranteed that nothing could be traced back to me, I’d do it for free! Not that I’d tell them, of course. Money is money.
Marcus: Hmm… that just doesn’t seem right. But I do need the money for my vengeance… they would have to pay well…
Which do you reside in (or hope to reside in) and why: Spire Emporium, Brass Sanctum, Royal Suite.
