I quite like this poem much much much better! And it rhymes! Oh, how it rhymes. As in all your writings, there is so much density here I can have fun reading and re-reading it.

>> Atrissa's motivations were sometimes hard to pin down, so she earned a dose of fae mischief from me. After that first poem, I worried I came across too cruel, but we worked it all out in the end.

I'm glad you brought this up - at the risk of being too much (heh) I'll dive more into what was in my head. At first, I was feeling most "brazen and unashamed" with Atrissa. I had nothing to lose, I was just going to go for it and it was going really well. Except I started to fall out of character with Gwendelya, and then the first Skreenak thing put me in a position of having to figure out what Atrissa really thought of herself now.

And plus this new imm had just come along whose helpfile seemed to line up pretty good with my role, but I'd never had a religious character before - in fact, all my previous immteraction attempts had gone horribly wrong. I knew nothing of Rarywey the mortal, only that Rarywey the imm had been very nice to me. So what I wanted was to test the waters (boy it's easy to make water puns when you just let the river take you!), and what I thought i got was warm fuzzies to be me and follow my heart and not be afraid of change. And then it was like, Atrissa suddenly gets vulnerable for the first time ever, and this imm just mindfux her. So I worked it out with the handy role command, and let the chips fall where they may.

It did work out, but afterward I had a bad case of residual Immtimidation© - I did not give you very good one-on-one interactions, but stuck with it. I honestly didn't know if I was misreading you (I was - omg the whole sloth/poetry thing) or this was all part of the Rary experience. But as I told you, it was hard to ignore all the awesome interactions you gave me outside that shrine, and that meant everything.
