And a sword hairpin on the left side. I do enjoy these events where I can minimize the brocade. (2/2)

No extreme sports (unless you count shimīyāwom, which is hardly extreme and not really a sport...), so no way to practice them brutally. It's that simple.

Graciously appreciated, as always!

you should have principles and also try to understand reality

It has been said before that to shoot the general, one should shoot the horse. But what if the horse has no general on its back, and also has wings, extra tongues, and so on? The logical problem posed thereby elicits fear from the underenlightened.

Yuck, how dare they use those words in that way!

Well, yes. It's a beautiful thing you've brought to life. I've already seen some of the effects on my girls...

But in comparison to this world, well... I think what I like most is simply the ease of physicality back home, and what I like least is- the lack of MP3s. And/or radio. Your breadth of music is so much wider. Or thicker.

This would also be the thing I like least about life here in absolute terms, or rather its consequences, but you specified relative ones, so I have to say it's the prairie summers.

Well, compared to the rest of Glorantha, the thing I like most about life in the Lunar Empire is this:

It's the place where I can be me more than anywhere else in Glorantha, where I can be both woman and demigoddess at the same time, a member of society and able to step outside of it too.

Let me amend that:

Only when such an awareness is a surprise and the strings are a secret. In other circumstances, such as the Bloodspillers Victory Day afterparty, things may be quite a bit different.

What has served to get me to betray people close to me in the past is- the awareness that they have strings and wires in their hands, trying to slip then around my hands and feet.

I have some bones to pick with that characterization, but I would, wouldn't I?

My answer depends on how you define "closest to you", and of course, "betray to whom?" is always lurking in the background. But with all that said...

Perhaps with a little wag of my finger.

After all, the question is less of whether you *can* bring forth the "White Moon Now", but what White Moon will rise in the sky! And so much of this comes down to the particular details, of course- I don't have anything much to say to a Fiscal Anarchist beyond "you know what you're doing".

Right about what in particular? I've never disagreed with one about whether up was down, for sure, but if there's one thing that anyone who gathers under the White Moon loves to do, it's chew the fat.

In practical terms, I don't think most of *my* disagreements are in terms of right and wrong...
