Q&A Sessions for Orders and Conscience

Question: Ships!

White: I don't really like this title...

Black: I agree. Northwind, what's the meaning of this?!

Northwind: Well, we've got yet another question from @rosevoltaris. What's the plan for... oh, chakk.

Red: Is something wrong?

Orange: *Whispers* Is Red... caring about someone?

Green: *Whispers back* Just go with it.

Northwind: Yeah... oh well. You all can listen to it as well.

White: Listen to what?

Black: Northwind, what's the thrice-cursed question?

Northwind: What are my plans for future ships?

Black and Brown: Oh, chakk.

Green and Yellow: Please no.

White: *Grabs K'dela's hand*

Red: Pluffsy would also like to know what's going on.

Everyone: Who?!

Red: *Holds up teddy bear* Pluffsy. Would like to know what's going on.

Lime: Where did you even get that? Therapy?

Red: No, @rosevoltaris.

Yellow: Well, at least we know that Red isn't going to explode anytime soon. How many therapy sessions did he do?

White: Approximately a dozen. Maybe more, I lost count.

Cyan: Was he prescribed anything?

White: Antidepressants and I think something for anxiety. He also learned a lot of anger management techniques.

Orange: That explains it.

Blue: Hey guys? Are we going to listen to Northwind explain his plans for the most exciting part of the story?

Black: *Flatly* No.

Brown: If this involves hurting Tal'nera, I won't try to stop the Enemy Within.

Green: Well, I'm just going to assume that Alec's going to move on with her life, so...

Yellow: Same as Black. No.

White: I'm kind of scared... *Grips K'dela's hand tighter*

Blue: *Looks pointedly at K'dela and White* Northwind... you cannot deny that.

Northwind: Ehh...

Black: We're... I'm not gonna say anything.

Blue: Because you're actually allowing yourself to feel something?

Black: I... Blue, if you say one more word, I will murder you.

Blue: One more word.

Black: *Grumbles* Smart-alec.

Northwind: At least you aren't killing anyone. Blue, follow me.

Blue: Me?

Northwind: *Looks around* Is there anyone else wearing blue in this room?

Blue: Good point. Bye guys!

White: I've got a bad feeling...

In the other room...

Northwind: We're going to discuss ships.

Blue: Finally! I was starting to go insane from the way that you were making them have those starry-eyed gazes for each other, but not putting them in a ship!

Northwind: I... well, I have a sort of epilogue planned out for them... with three parts. One covers rescuing Tal'nera and the other takes place eight years later when our remaining living people are living together happily.

Blue: ... What about the third?

Northwind: Well... that's an alternative path. They remain friends, but very good ones.

Blue: I'm not sure if I like that path much.

Northwind: Well, you don't have to read it...

Blue: So is Black X White canon or...?

Northwind: I'll say that it's canon, but they don't know it yet. I'll also say that it's not canon, but it all depends on how you interpret things. In the books that are coming up, I'll make it so that the ships are definitely canon. This one is debatable.

Blue: Aw, come on!

Northwind: This one's going out to all the aros out there who are tired of the same thing over and over again. There's another possibility!

Blue: Well... that's fair enough. But I'm going to read the ship possibility.

Northwind: Go ahead—wait. How do you have access to the internet?

Blue: *Laughs in Blue* Wouldn't you like to know?

Northwind: Chakk! What did you do?!

Blue: Again, wouldn't you like to know?
