got my 15 year anniversary gift from work today. it's a milk frother/hot chocolate maker. I had fancy chocolate shavings from Ethel M's stashed away and thought this was the best time to use something snazzy in my fancy machine. A+ hot chocolate and now I'm ready for bed.

no vibe, but "aura" instead! Yatzil can read the "love" aura of people - the type of love and how strong it is.

Bwahahaha! Loke and Magnar fight ALL THE TIME about EVERYTHING. most of it is because Loke's being reckless and Magnar wants to keep her alive. He can't get paid if she dies! but they will 💯squabble over everything just to be petty with each other.

Let's talk about conflict!
What is something your character and the person closest to them fight about?
Is one side clearly in the right, or is it ambiguous?
How do they resolve their dispute? Or do they?

There are 2 major religions. If you follow my group, you'll see one is more correct than the other. For them, they are big believers in fate and while there are things you think you are deciding, what is meant to be will eventually happen. Fate doesn't care about little things. Just major points.
#FebruaryWorldbuilders Does free will exist in your world? If you have any kind of prophecy, fortune-telling, soulmates, or destiny in your stories, how are these reconciled along with the idea of free will? Do your characters have any beliefs on the matter?

took him 18 years to find her, but he did ^_^ (he only actually saw her in passing and never knew who she was)
Betti is a very well trained spy. Sneaky him holding secrets and bad on Kal for not asking enough details! Because he can't lie to Kal <3

saved Betti for last. He's led a long, rough life, so he's had some messy relationships. As far as which was his first actual love, he hasn't told me since he tells lies about his backstory. But, i think there was truth in the tale about one of the other guys in the mine he was working in for a bit

Asta crushed hard on General Chen (he might have been lower in rank at the time?)
Betti is Kal's first love. He never thought he'd romantically love anyone, but here we are.
Mahoe loved Chaam HARD, but Chaam loved Mahana. it got kinda ugly after a while. Mahana is aro and had an arranged marriage

Votan's first love is Colel when he sees her for the first time.
Most of the rest aren't really discussed. Blu is very subtle and read between lines and squint for his and you'll see it.
Yatzil's first love was a soldier named Yuula.
Ikal married Yakunti at like 19.

Loke never really "fell in love." It could be read that she's somewhere on the aro/ace spectrum. She does love her family, but none of it's terribly romantically.
Magnar fell in love at 8 years old with a girl with a forlorn expression he wanted to make smile one day.

Was it a positive relationship for them or less so?
How did it end (if at all), and how did that affect them?

Not entirely psychic abilities. But the one religion believes heavily in fate so fortune telling is popular. Those with the talent can be accurate with what they find.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders, good morning! Are prophecies or psychic abilities real in your world? How do they affect the world? Tomorrow I will ask about free will, so if you have prophecies, think about how that influences whether free will exists or not, and have an answer tomorrow😁

as much as he loves Loke, curling would be far too boring for him. and Palen is his best frenemy, so after a few drinks, it's not an impossible thought, though he probably wouldn't act on it. probably.
Betti gonna get all the fashions. He's a fashionista! and only the best satin lined snow hat

Asta and the twins are watching hockey, hoping for more violence than the olympics provides, but enjoying it all the same.
Magnar's watching those ski jumps and wondering if he pushed Palen down one, how far would he go?
Betti is going around checking out the latest fashions. it IS milan after all

Balan will want to be a participant in ALL OF IT, but he'd probably win it all because *reasons*, so he's gotta just watch all of it.
Curling is more Loke's pace and Kal would probably join her since it's fairly mild and low key.

to access the godspace, you'd have to be a god. and a god in mortal form basically dissociates on the outside while their subconscious mind can go in and meander around and communicate. A person on the outside may look bored or like they're taking a snooze.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders If you have nonphysical realms in your setting, how can they be accessed? Can characters go there or somehow 'see' inside it? Does something else live there and come out when summoned?

Choose a book from your TBR that envisions the future! Sci-fi will probably dominate today, but there's also post-apocalyptic/distopian fiction and a wealth of non-fiction to explore. Let's hear your thoughts!

they actually use it differently. Loke can briefly stop time and if she touches someone, they get unfrozen, so that's helpful for only so long.
Kal makes time "bubbles" that allow time to pass slower inside them than outside (helpful for training or healing from illness), but less useful in battle
