#tojoll

Laighe: initially she attended these sorts of things with enthusiasm and lovely gowns that befitted her important status. As time wore on though, the outfits changed to suits and similar gear of more “practicality” but still a respectable look. Her attitude changed further though, where she started bubbly and social, she now keeps to herself unless directly addressed and gives an aura of intimidation.

Matthias: always a nice suit and a charming smile for everyone, polite conversation and witty remarks. He’s got a very carefully built delicate facade to keep up after all.

Vuisce: has not been invited to any parties rip

Tojoll: she dresses completely casually, not really a dressup kinda gal! She’s rather spend the money on dresses/suits for her girlfriends who want to accompany her anyways! She’s boistrous and tends to hang out wherever the most fun is being had currently, or she’ll stir up some fun herself.

Taomesin: dressed perfectly, no room for error, but always in regal armor of sorts. Fancy and handsome, but also able to serve the purpose of battle if anything arises. They’re politely quiet and avoid conversation along with sticking to teammates rather than strangers. Those who know them well, of which there are so very few, would be able to note that they do not enjoy these parties at all. They skip any they can get away with skipping.

Kai: full armor or dressed down to leather armor, depending on the party. She won’t avoid conversation but she makes for blunt interactions and can so easily come off as rude. Can be found usually by the snack table with Caithe or other teammates.

Laighe: at this point not much strikes fear into her. But if anything directly threatened her little family, she would be terrified. And anyone who knows her well would see it because she would buckle down and force the person in danger off the battle field while planning on running in solo. She can’t lose anyone else to a threat she has to handle.

Kai: it’s easy for her to feel fear, and she knows that’s been all that’s kept her on edge enough to survive at times. But she also knows how to push past that fear and do what she has to. Her fear is almost imperceptible, but just listen for a fast paced tapping. She can’t keep her claws still on her weapons when she’s afraid.

Joel: it just shuts down. Fear isn’t a wholely common experience for Joel these days, especially with being virtually immortal, but it’s headspace is such a weak point for it. The icebrood saga shit really gets to it, there’s an open door in its head that it can’t control since HoT. And the only way it can even try to defend that is to lock hard into its main body and close off until it thinks the threat has passed.

Matthias: oh man so much scares him, his entire life is built on a series of lies and a very carefully crafted persona over himself. But having that persona also keeps his fear well hidden. He doesn’t have a single tell as far as most people know. Though Aildyn ( @ascalonianpicnic ) has seen him alone with his walls down, tired and himself. And they know that fear holds a lot of tension in his body, like a cornered animal deciding if he can run or he has to bite.

Taomesin: they don’t experience fear these days at all. They used to, but now? Now they’re just calm. They do their job. They’re going to get hurt anyways, who feel fear when they need to just get this done.

Tojoll: not much fear here, but not for a lack of being able to feel it! She’s just immensely confident and has yet to actually face an enemy that can truly best her. She hasn’t lost anyone, hasn’t lost to anyone either, she’s just chill as fuck~

Vuisce: they’ve done the calculations, checked for every contingency, they truly are confident in what they do. But that still doesn’t stop that trickle of fear every time it comes down to making their move. What if it fails, what if it goes wrong this time, what if the measurements are off? People can see they’re nervous, they keep muttering to themself. Still going over every possible variable in their head looking for any hole they missed. It’s terrifying until success is assured.
