Heart of Darkness (Demona Q&A. Oh, also Cal)

[Cal Arcton]

Ooh, you want to know more about me? Go ahead...

Oh, you can also ask about Cal here.

[Cefey Raneth]

AH! AH! Standin'
In The Heart Of Darkness
AH! AH! Give Me My Life
Give Me My Energy

Err.... natural reaction to Heart of Darkness. xD


Demona was fun to read, so good job with that one. She really gave a fun vibe to the Twelve Parsec's location, and I liked Farkas' quest to fix her up (and how he communicated with her). Thumbs up.

And Cal was fun too!

Is he gonna propose to the Doc now?
Gonna remain un-retired or become re-retired?
Give Leo shooting lessons?

[Cal Arcton]

Hey, thanks! It was fun coming up with things to say that were (intentionally) both playfully sexy and creepy as Demona.

Is he gonna propose to the Doc now?

Haha, geez! They just kissed for the first time four days ago! Give them a bit of time to grow as a couple!

Could certainly happen sometime down the line, though. Especially if there's a significant time jump.

Gonna remain un-retired or become re-retired?

Given how enthusiastically Cal jumped into fighting the Imperials, I think he may become a bit less retired than he was. I've got some possible post-game ideas for that. He'll probably still hang onto the bar, but he's gonna do more of the sheriff/ranger stuff, almost certainly.

Give Leo shooting lessons?

Hey, Cal recognizes that everyone rolls Despair from time to time.

Hrm....

Was fun playing with Cal, But then I usually have fun in our threads.

Will Cal ever get over his love of Red?

Will he ever be able to hold hold beer?

Are you going to keep the baton you broke?

[Cal Arcton]

Hrm....

Yeah, likewise!

Will Cal ever get over his love of Red?

Hah, not likely. He's pretty into the Doc right now, and Demona's still sticking around.

Will he ever be able to hold hold beer?

He does alright. Probably a bit less well as he gets older. Getting older sucks!

Are you going to keep the baton you broke?[/quote]

Yeah, sure, why not!

[Jelna Vawn]

Jelna isn't going to admit it but what would Cal do if he found out she was a war criminal after all that happened?

That is a good question, applied to the entire Phoenix crew...

[Cal Arcton]

Roughly the same thing he did when he found out that Kor (jfc, it took me like 5 times to type this name, with Cal/Kai/Kor) was a war criminal. Nothing!

The rule is, the past is the past. If you've done your best since then, well, that's good enough.

[Jelna Vawn]

So not even the crew really knows how far Jelna's grief goes. How would Cal react to the fact that Zerra is basically Jelna's Demona but willfully done?

Hey, everyone's got their problems.

...

But whoa, that's pretty messed up. She should probably, uh... I don't know. Find a better outlet for her grief.

[Jelna Vawn]

Any inspiration come to you to use two pistols? Did you just like the specialization or did the mental image of Cal have specifically two?

[Cal Arcton]

Mmm, mostly the spec uses them. But also I quote this line a lot:

And Doc Holiday generally.

A lot of the way Cal talked came from Justified, although I softened the Kentucky accent quite a bit. No saying "Hep" instead of "Help" for instance. That was also why he drank bourbon.

Also, after playing Niall, who had only limited ability to partake in fites, I wanted to play someone properly fighty this time! And gunslinger is such a western trope.

[Kai Wryssald]

What are demona's thoughts on the amount of alcohol Cal gives away?
