( QRI'S QUESTIONS )

[spellheal]

Hello everyone, this is Genette.

I'll be receiving some of the answers to your questions today. I'll be sending them as a blanket message to everyone.

Again, I'm a messenger. You're free to ask follow up questions, but make sure they're sent directly to me.

[ OOC: You're free to discuss the answers as responses to the individual top levels. These can be mental telepathy messages with one another or action logs if your characters are nearby. If you want to ask Genette follow up questions, put @Genette or something similar in your subject header! ]

[He's not unsympathetic, precisely. But:]

I suggest you try.

[talim]

Well? What about you? Since you seem to have it all figured out... What do you want most?

[rebells]

[What he wants most? What he wants is to be able to fix the situation on the Legacy--to be free of Solon--which he's beginning to suspect may be easier if he cooperates with Qri. But that's not an answer he's prepared to give Jude, and it's probably not the sort of answer he was looking for anyway.]

. . . I want to know the truth of the situation. What Qri's intentions are, and whether they're the same as what she says they are. The only way I can think of to do that, for the moment, is to keep asking her questions. To find out what kind of person she is by hearing what she has to say.

[talim]

No matter how many questions she does or doesn't answer, I have a feeling we might never know what kind of person Qri is. For all our sakes, I hope I'm wrong.

But I admire your perseverance. I mean that.

[rebells]

[He smiles thinly.]

I'm an information-dealer. I make it my business to know things. I won't consider myself outmatched that easily.

Are you giving up already, Jude?

[talim]

No!

[ he replies a little too quickly, but the thought of giving up is not a thought jude is familiar with. on most occasions, at least. ]

No. Not a chance. I just... needed some time to process, I guess. I'll never give up on figuring out the truth behind all this.

[rebells]

Hmm.

[He doesn't smile, but he looks satisfied.]

That's better. Moping around doesn't suit an idiot like you, you know.

[talim]

Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.

[rebells]

[He snorts, but doesn't deny it.]

I'd be thinking about how you think we should approach Qri when we next talk to her, and what questions you most want answered. That's something we're going to have to decide soon.

[talim]

In that case, I'll take your advice and do some thinking. Hopefully the lot of us will be able to use the opportunity to our advantage and get something out of it.
