The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

I am spooped by that post. New demons?

I mean, not necessarily. We equate the idea of oppresive societies with restrictions on gender, sexuality, and race, but in a world where the gods never express that themselves, who can say where it would sprout?

Post a random fact about yourself.

Potatoes are good, when dealt with correctly. I also happen to know they are related to Deadly Nightshade.

Hmm... Oren, in particular, shall take note of this, Lovejoy.

@Draken Mhm, I know. That wasn't what I was saying when I pointed out that women would wear cards, though - most paired dances did take place between opposite genders.

@shylarah Mhm, that's why I said might. Because we still don't have quite the level of tech that I personally would associate with the First World War, that doesn't mean that's not where we are in terms of social culture.

Plus, the Red Seminary comes across to me as all kinds of high society. And the high society kept hold of the older ways of dancing long into the Victorian age. I'm mostly referring to how thing would happen socially, though, as I've no idea of what the dances themselves were like.

As for whether or not anyone else would have asked for Ziotea to dance with them... well, at such events in the times I am speaking of, women would be given a 'card' to wear around their wrists. Gentlemen would ask if they would like to dance, and fill out the card in a particular slot. Often, the name of the dance also could have other connotations, such as political manouevers or just simply chatting. Nothing says Rodion wouldn't just fill most of them out.

EDIT: When you've been talking to others on discord for a while and use asterisks instead of italics...

Oren would've probably stood by a pillar the whole night, with a goblet or something in his hand.

...Also, my knowledge of dances in pre-victorian eras may come in handy here. You never know.

Okay... just read the IC... and there is something I need to ask.

Is the future fixed?

Creid's powers, I assume, influence time. But, they disregard chaos theory - where, an event that was changed in the past or present can affect the present or future. Creid making changes in the past do nothing to change the present, save erase his enemy. Memories are still retained. Deeds are still done.

But, the question remains - does the butterfly effect still happen in this world? (Chaos = Butterfly) Something that we do in the present, having a ripple to affect the future that awaits them.

Then again, we must assume that it has already happened, since there is no way for us to contact them. Which means...
