@shylarahcool cool, I will put Eudora in the Characters section once I finish a few edits for her.

As far as plotting goes- Alexander most definitely would have noticed if she crashed a few classes he was in, and might have noticed her at a few cross-school functions (how he met Rowena). Given the reinforcement metal in her bones he likely would be suspicious of the way he feels metal in her presence, but would attempt to write it off as concealed weapons although he can just sense it's something more than that. Also, the year you have listed as her birth year 1) says 1974 instead of 1874, and 2) actually makes her only 18 at the start of the plot (1892). Technicalities aside (forgive me, details make me crazy). He'd definitely be perplexed by her.

As far as Eudora goes, most likely she doesn't think much of her at first unless she's met her at an event or another. She might have heard her husband mention Alys as an instructor at the Institute, and she might quietly think that it's admirable she'd do such a thing while also not being sure it's such a good idea ("men, after all, can be animals"). I'm...at a loss for what else to say atm lol rip me.

@MorningStar1399 Derp I mathed wrong...by about a hundred years. She *is* 28, not...whatever the date I put makes her. Thanks for catching that.

She definitely has concealed weapons at all times. Perplexed is fine. Would he have come to chat with her?

Alyssana and Eudora probably have not crossed paths that much. The Greys are nobility but not highly ranked, and while they do have some interest in what the government is doing it's not a major one. They're primarily a scholar and researcher line, with a tendency toward eccentricity rather than insanity.

It is possible that the craftsman guild might be interested in one piece or another of the occasional pieces the twins craft together, but the two dont' seem super dedicated to crafting so that might not be the case.

@shylarahYou'd want 1864 then for her birth year then :-)

True, but he'd be sensing the metal actually inside her body, and when removing weapons doesn't do the trick of getting rid of the metal feeling, he'd likely only then come to the conclusion of some form of automation. Mm...perhaps. At first her nonconformity might draw his attention, but after learning just how much of a killjoy stick-in-the-mud she is he'd likely become extremely disinterested in conversing with her further, seeing as he himself is filled with the charm and intensity of being she considers dishonesty.

If they have met her and it wasn't through an event like another minister's ball or something, it could easily be through her shop or her being a former member of the emergency response team. Her husband is likely a bit more caught up in other things (namely his own projects), though their sons might be curious about their projects, and the middle son Eddison would likely be very interested in her wings.

@MorningStar1399

There's not enough metal for her to be an automaton. =P Alright, so she and Alexander have met but didn't really hit it off. She sees him probably as another social dandy, and that's not her cup of tea.

For Eudora I'm going to go with knowing of each other but no contact to speak of. Christopher is in the group with Victor Bennett (renown for wing innovations; now deceased) and Lucius and that lot (as is Alys, for that matter) so I'm sure Eudora knows plenty about their history in Hourglass City, but only Edison would have a reason for extensive contact. And Victor would be better able to have handled that than Chris.

@shylarahhence why I said "some form of" instead of straight up automation. Pretty much. Plus he's gay anyway so she's really not his type to begin with LOL

Most likely, yeah. Though Eddison is 8 so he's not going to know them at all. He'd just be marveled by the wings if they ever were to meet. Well, actually, now that you mention Lucius...Eudora might know more of her than she lets on. A thing ayz shared with me when I initially proposed the character includes her knowing where Lucius is being held (thanks to getting a favor out of her brother and father). Odds are she'd know a bit about that history and would therefore know a bit about they Greys' work with Victor and Lucius, yeah. But she again wouldn't actually have met Alys until the event Captain Kingsford calls them to.

@Briza Ooh I like him. The idea of perfumes is an interesting one!

Can't approve you without checking in with Ayz, but I'd be happy to figure out what Alys and Finnegan think of each other in the meantime. I suspect they know of each other/have met but little more than that, given that they have very little common ground.

Finnegan is probably curious about Alyssana's novelty of having nothing noteworthy or special about her, aside from being brilliantly intelligent and therefore able to teach at the Institute despite being female. He probably has tried to friend her (having crashed several classes at the Institute while he attended) on more than one occasion and still is quaintly open to the scenario, if some sort of acquaintanceship has not already been built -- for his gentlemanly sake. Moreso, he probably does chemical equations in his head to brainstorm ways to make her appearance smell seem more attractive. I could see him enjoying a brunch with her and having a decent discussion over academia and learning, while offering her a sample of perfume from time-to-time. He could also be acquainted or well-acquainted with Christopher.

@Brizait is a real shame Finnegan is a tad homophobic--Alexander would have adored him otherwise. Alexander would watch him flirt and probably attempt to flirt with him, albeit a bit subtler in case. Though it's a running "joke" between him and Rowena that Alexander has terrible taste in men. He'd probably be frequenting the perfume shop (in school he was not quite as bold as he is now), and odds are Finnegan could smell that Alexander is attracted to him...but could also probably smell when Alexander gets turned off or put off. However, if Finnegan could push aside his dislike of gay men, they could be friends. Especially since Alexander is sharper than he looks and acts, and is not quite the "buffoon" Finnegan would perceive him to be based on appearances.

@MorningStar1399, Finnegan would probably be friends with Alexander. The remark at the end was more so snide in humor to express his discernment in being only interested in being attracted to women, while also exemplifying the pridefulness in his intellect. In all honesty, he would probably toy with Alexander.

@Brizaah, it came across as him being homophobic to me, sorry about that. But Alexander would probably be quite the frequent customer and there's a chance the two could talk of their forays considering Alexander himself can't really marry any of the people he's actually interested in, unlike Finnegan who simply doesn't want to. It would be interesting because Alexander could be like "well that one's nice" and Finnegan could give him a look and say "uh, no, he smells like he's two seconds away from sticking his hands in someone else's pockets and pilfering a few coins" and of course Alexander would give him a look and be like "he'd find a bit more than a few coins if he reached in my pockets" and Finnegan could easily be in on the "Alex-has-no-taste" bit, lol.

@MorningStar1399, it's okay. Reading & Writing can be pretty gray sometimes (especially mine, rip ). I like the idea, btw. Finnegan can call him a buffoon for his socially unacceptable taste in men. Such as: "Do not let your self be such a buffoon, Alexy. You are by far better looking than that. I would never waste such a pretty face and physique on trying to attract such a sticky fingered man. I doubt he ever washes them. And besides, you might start smelling like him, and then I would have stop you from ruining my trade by prohibiting your business in my shop. Would you enjoy that? Hm."

Yay. It is settled then! & Alexander shall be added to Finnegan Oak's Character Relations Sheet.

@Brizaomg I love it. Finnegan would never fail to get Alexander flustered if he spoke like that to him. Then Finnegan could tease him for getting tongue-tied and Alexander would be like "would you please stop calling me Alexy" but also rather like the nickname. Only Finnegan can call him Alexy.

Perfect! :D

@Briza LMAO it would be so funny if like, whenever Finnegan and Rowena are around each other they start flexing like Finnegan's all "oh wow u smell worried/happy/etc" and Rowena's just "really? I wouldn't have thought (insert random gal he's been leading on) as your type, (insert info she gets from reading thoughts), etc etc"

and Rowena and Alexander are friends, so I can see her accusing Alex of having no taste because of Finnegan right in front of him, lol (though it'd be worded in a very convoluted way :D)

I mean bottom line I get the feeling that neither of them trust each other very much

For Vincent, they probably haven't met/interacted much yet although @MorningStar1399 and I have some stuff planned for Vincent/Alexander, which would mean that Vincent and Finnegan will probably at least see each other in the future

@ayzrules@BrizaLMAO Alex being around them one day while they're flexing and being like "oh will you two PLEASE get along while I am in your presence?"

And of course Alexander is like "if you're suggesting I am attracted to him, yes, yes I am, but there is nothing between us but friendship"

Ooo, that could end up interesting depending on what Finnegan picks up when Alexander and Vincent are around each other.

@MorningStar1399 & @ayzrules, Finnegan will probably try to counter any of Rowena's comments by saying the Lady's negativity is just her sarcastic attempt to flirt with him, and as we all know, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. And then he will proceed to tell her that she looks lovely as always and should trust the human imagination by not exposing her skin so much to the elements.

I am not sure how he will act around Vincent, tho. Fee. Fi. Fo. Fum.

As for Vincent and Alex, we were planning to have the two of them eventually be a thing (but not publicly, of course) but Finnegan may be able to sense their mutual attraction to each other?
