Truth

[supermeme]

Truth to Type RULES ○ In the subject line, put what your character would ICly say their type is. ○ Oh no, not the mysterious, truth-telling buttons that appear from thin air! They're back with a vengeance. To wit, throw in the body of your comment what your character's type ACTUALLY is. ○ We point. We laugh. Everyone has fun. That last part is questionable.

What qualities would you say made your former suitors "duds"?

[ninanna]

Arrogance, self-importance, betrayal.

[artorian]

[ Was Ishtar one of her own former suitors, one must wonder... ]

Indeed, those would be unacceptable qualities for most people. So then, would it not be more productive to target traits such as humility and honesty in your future prospects?

[ninanna]

Can't I have those things and the other things I listed, too? I've been through a lot, you know! I deserve it.

[artorian]

I do not deny your right to ambition. I only wonder if an emphasis on certain traits would better suit your long-term satisfaction.

[ninanna]

What about you? What qualities do you think you check off?

[artorian]

Oho. Objectively I can say I had both wealth and power. A number of kings could attest to my persistence. But I cannot say I have ever been called funny or handsome, so I appear to be lacking by your measure.

[ninanna]

Eh? Has no one truly ever told you that you're handsome? I find that hard to believe.

[artorian]

Due to my stature, I was often likened more quickly to a boy than a man. It mattered not to me.

[ninanna]

But isn't there such a thing as "boyishly handsome"? What about cute! Did you ever get "cute"?

[artorian]

Certainly. Though their sentiments were rarely so kind as yours, and so I placed great care in preventing their reoccurrence. Ah, but I suppose that must seem strange to a goddess known for her beauty.

[ninanna]

[Ah... that smile. She has to have it.]

Strange? Hm. No, I think that just means you'll have to accept it when I call you handsome. As the goddess of beauty, you should trust me on that.

[artorian]

[ ??? how strange that she is being handed these unsolicited compliments ]

If you insist, then I have no choice but to concede. Though I think we may have wandered too far from the original topic...

[ninanna]

Oh no, [she replies with a mischievous smile upon her lips as she floats closer.]

I think we're still right where we need to be. May I have your name?

[artorian]

[ imagine still being confused at this point ]

... Of course. My name is Artoria. My apologies for not introducing myself sooner.

[ninanna]

Oh, that's quite all right. Allow me to formally introduce myself.

I am Ishtar, Queen of the Heavens. Godess of Love and Beauty, Justice and War, Fertility and Agriculture!

[artorian]

[ A small smile, slightly dry of humor. ]

Your domains are many and mighty. It is no wonder you have difficulty finding a worthy match. If formal introductions are in order, then allow me to amend my own; I am also known as Arthur of Camelot, King of Britain.

[ninanna]

[King: check. Handsome: check. Dazzling (BLONDE/GOLD HAIR): check. Funny: debatable. Rich: yeah, that can have a check too.]






How would you like a new queen?

[artorian]

[ ??? ]

I do require a queen, but it is not a matter of concern for me at the moment...

[ help her ]

[ninanna]

—You do!?

[It's like she didn't even hear the second part. Her hands grasp Artoria's shoulders.]

You can't get any better than a goddess as your queen!

R... Ishtar! This is a bit sudden... Would a fellow god not better suit your needs?

[ninanna]

Absolutely not! The last "king" I was after was half god, and even that was too much! Absolutely the worst man in existence.

[artorian]

[ Demigod king... worst man in existence.......... Now that she thinks about it, ]

Are you referring to the King of Heroes?

[ninanna]

Yes! Absolutely! If it was up to me I'd turn that ugly mug of his to dust!

[She would not, but it saying it makes her feel better.]
