I get the vibe -- from that "I wish I were a noodle vendor" line -- that Maya internalized one of Meti's deepest principles, i.e. only idiots become adherents of swordsmanship and aspirants towards Royalty, but didn't understand that it was intentional, so she decided she'd chosen a bad teacher to induct her into a thankless murder job, and that she would've been better off as a noodle vendor like her mother.

I suspect the big difference of opinion is that Meti thinks there's no redeeming aspects at all, while Maya sees it as more a "it's a lovely job but somebody's got to do it" deal.

Pick the top half as your av and use img tags for the bottom, I think. Also there may be additional sorcery involved I havent' changed mine since I got it e: I think theres something like you have to upload it to the forums and use like [img:1325[ or some poo poo, I dunno.

Buy the bottom half as an image avatar, which will load that image onto the SA servers. Then buy the top half as an image avatar, and put the bottom half into the title as an [img] tag (this only works for images on the SA server.)

Dub because I am a filthy casual. Edit I don't think it's a coincidence that the best swordswomen in the world have a complete and utter disdain for their art. If you think being a swordsman is cool, you're going to have ideas about what it is and should look like, which is just about mutually exclusive with the concepts of Royalty. See also: Aesma's thoughtless disdain for everything. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Dec 17, 2016 |

Comrade Gorbash posted:I think its more that, when you're 12, "invincible swordswoman who fights naked and lives in a barrel" sounds like the best job, but when you're an actual adult you realize it kind of sucks. On this, Meti and Maya are in agreement. Based on the setting I'm guessing Maya didn't choose to be a killer because her high school aptitude test said swordwoman.

Based on the setting, I am entirely prepared to believe that high-school aptitude tests include 'swordswoman', 'knight', 'wizard', and 'Conquering King'. If you get the last one, the local demiurge stops by and glasses your planet.

A little after school practice with the local rag wearing invincible swordmistress, then some ruffians start causing trouble, and one thing leads to another and now you're conquering 20000 worlds.
