I'm gonna sound really weird saying this, but I do have to agree. Stephen Fry has the right of it. yes we can have intelligent conversations with swearing involved, but most people cant seem to do it... -shrugs- at least the ones I've come across can't.

I'd say that it's a case of correlation not necessarily meaning causation. Swearing is an adjunct to the quality of discourse which isn't necessarily directly connected in either a positive or negative way. It's indis-f*cking-putedly down to how you use the words rather than to some inherent quality that they hold.

Well that's the kind of crazy she is... She's the fun type of crazy...Crazy as in being unconventional and impetuous.

She's such a hipster... Crimmy was right!

I'm curious how much trouble she's going to cause for us. She's clearly not one to think about the possible consequences of her actions and that's bound to land us in hot water on a few occasions. She doesn't worry about how stuff works either as long as it does work. She's an improviser that one. My ragequisitor is a planner... they're going to be at each other's throats.

... assuming her actions will have an impact and not her being there for the sake of romance only.   Morrigan and Alistair felt more important to the plot in DAO than Leliana (no matter how important she became later) and Zev.

Actual spoiler still.

I'm not talking about major plot consequences. I was thinking more about side missions like the war table or interactions with minor NPCs. Maybe she'll screw something up because she went ahead with a plan without telling us and we'll have to clean up her mess. Or maybe she'll offend someone at the Orlesian ball. Or she'll play a prank on the wrong person and that unlocks a new war table mission to solve the problem. In other words: Sera is going to f*ck us sideways. *runs away*

Oh, you....

Most... interesting...

Thankfully I smell theory.

 

Anyway, Cat. We had this convo a few pages back. How do you deal with troublemakers in class?

[Ammonite]

and what's wrong with Harley's brand of crazy may I ask?

I like Harley, I simply did not see that in Sera. Hence why I asked. Nowhere have I stated or implied that there was anything wrong about it, so why ask me what's wrong about her brand of crazy?

I call their boss. All my students are public servants who have to pass a French test to keep their jobs.

Not really. The students complain to my boss all the time. And then we have the quality insurence officers, and the paperwork and... It's not that great.

The flirting mechanic is interesting this time around. It seems that a poorly timed flirt will result in negative reactions rather than positive ones. The way Sera shot down that dudequisitor was pretty... direct. I wonder what she says to a woman after that line... I also like that she has different lines based on the Inquisitor's race when we meet her. She says the human is 'kinda plain' and the Qunari is 'Big. Really big." Both of them were males though. I'm curious to see if she has special lines for the ladies.

[SardaukarElite]

I felt I had an understanding over her character but it's good to see her in action finally, I laughed a few times. Maybe its strange but I feel Sera is the character I can relate to the most in the game.

 

Good to see Qunaritor hold his own as well.

As a teacher, the parents (well, in Cat's case, the students, as they're adults) are constantly on your back if they don't like how their kid (themselves...) perform.

You can end up in your bosses office pretty damn fast. Plus the nerves. You mostly can't even tell young kids to shut up with any real... forceful voice application (ie, shout at them like it's the end of the world)

 

Not really. The students complain to my boss all the time. And then we have the quality insurence officers, and the paperwork and... It's not that great.

 

So, from what I know, a regular teacher's business.

They don't like the way you work, you're in trouble.

Add in the whole "Gotta test them, then I gotta check the tests for how they wrote it"...

At least I imagine most of those people are polite.

The way kids behave sometimes (I tend to hear quite a bit) I might end up so psychically FUBAR that I'll just go crazy. And not in a good way.

 

My mental condition isn't exactly stable as it is, I guess. But I'm nowhere near mass-murderer or completely batsh*t crazy.

Bad life experiences. Oh well. Could be worse. A lot worse.

 

Anyway, loads of respect if you have the nerves to deal with it without problems.

Whhops, realized this might come off as a bit brusque. Add a to that last part there.

[YourFunnyUncle]

My dad was what Americans would call a high school French teacher. I am not, despite having a degree in modern languages. There's a direct causal relationship between those two facts.

[Ammonite]

So there's a thread out on what songs remind people of any given character. Don't have any particular one in mind, but songs by La Roux makes me think of Sera for some reason.

Sera - Fireflies by Owl City. Feel free to disagree.

Doubt it, after the fact some straight dudes threw a hissy fit over Anders hitting on malehawke.

 

Shame.

 

Though, given Sera's type, she would probably initiate a flirt first. I hope so at least.

Why would you throw a hissy fit over that? 

 

Actually, I know. They are all in denial and so every chance they get to reinforce themselves as straight, they jump at the chance.

Sera is hella weird...and I love weird.

She'll be a handful for my Inquisitor...

Gaider quite publicly called those chumps out and laughed at them though. BioWare seems fairly set on sticking to their guns as far as insecure twits are concerned, or at least that's my impression.

Because it reminds them of how they treat women.

 

No idea.

I'd want that, but will likely go for a flirt with a line neutral enough to be headcanoned as a perfectly innocent friendly comment, to ensure activation of romance just in case.

[WildOrchid]

Ouch, big truth right hurr.

 

 

I'm ready to use the "not all men" pic just in case someone breaks in with the usual "not all men" line.

[Serza]

Blah blah blah, not all men, blah blah blah.

 

There ya go
