Alright, Season 1 QnA is a go. Not a whole lot of questions, but this also doesn’t have a whole lot of active readers (yet, hopefully). For the ease of answering, the format for this will be like a typical interview. Let’s begin.
____
From: Grandmasterassassin Doom
A question for Apexus what is the tastiest thing you have eaten so far and why that is?
Apexus: On raw taste, boss monster’s win. Magic is best season… Magic is the best spice, better words. Added with gratification, though, eating that eagle that I got my wings from was great.

To Acylsia which next permanent Growth would you want for Apexus to have and why if you could choose?
Aclysia: The answer would be either a proper magical cortex, so that he might learn Skills and Spells, or some sort of musculature, so he can move more effectively. Practicality is the most important attribute.
To Apexus if you could give a permanent Growth to Acylsia without losing it which would it be?
Apexus: The pheromone ducts, having her smell sweetly would improve her beauty. Have nothing useful for her.
To Funatic which was your favorite dungeon on the first leaf and why did you enjoy it?
Funatic: That would go to either White Wood or Clearwater. Both because I got to do some level designing, Clearwater more because it was the first one and White Wood because story stuff happened in it.

To Apexus:
Since you can alter the size and placement of your permanent growths, what is the loudest roar you can make with your speech plates?
Apexus: About as loud as a human scream at the top of their lungs. Pitch can be more obnoxious though.
If you could choose, what would you want your next Permanent Growth to be?
Apexus: My answer would be the same as Aclysia’s, although I would prioritize the muscles of over the magic.
Reysha, what part of which monster tasted the best, and why?
Reysha: The giant spiders in Clearwater. Specifically, the legs. Taste like lobster times three. Insects in general look horribly unappealing – at first, I got used to that shit by now – but are pretty tasty.
Aclysia, what are your top three qualities for an ideal leaf to live on?
Aclysia: Ordered civilization, respect for faith and general safety.
And that’s all of them already. Looking forwards to answering and creating more questions in Season 2~
Aclysia: Ordered civilization, respect for faith and general safety.
I don't foresee ANY of those three coming to fruition...
Aclysia...
Those ideal home leaf qualities would also fit in an authoritarian religious state, you know? No respect for personal freedoms or sanctity of life, slavery and caste system abound? Corruption ingrained? Which would also tear you and your beloved Apexus apart in a heartbeat?
THAT's your ideal place?
You're reading a tad much into the top 3 qualities, particularly in the "because she didn't mention this, she must want the total opposite!" department 0,o
@Funatic Considering Aclysia's dearest wish to her father was to be able to remain by Apexus' side as long as love lasts, it surprises me that it doesn't factor into her top factors for her ideal home leaf!
Though come to think of it, she wasn't answering a question of where SHE in particular would like to live, just what she considers a good place for ???? to live in.
@Ekmo "General Safety" would factor in safety for Apexus, I would say 0,o
The point, still, is that you are filling giant gaps with the worst possible thing you can imagine.
@Funatic Can't help it, it was my job to prepare solutions for worst case scenarios. I had to actively look for potential and current problems, and that habit has spilled into almost everything I do.
Counterpoint is, in the main story, Apexus is a huge and dominating focal point in Aclysia's thoughts and actions, so NOT seeing a specific mention of Apexus when discussing her top desires is jarring!
