Conversation with Alison Sedai

[Yve]

Yve is asked to explain herself, in general. Then gets set homework.

POV: Yve
With: Alison Sedai

------------------------------------------------


[Alison Sedai collects Yve from the kitchens and takes her to the Hall of the Tower]

Alison says 'The reason i called you, is to find out about Yve.'

Yve shuffles a little on her feet.

You nod in agreement.

Alison says 'Tell me the briefest information about Yve you can think off.'

You say 'The briefest... of course.'

You say 'I come from a line of women who have had the gift in one way or another.'

You say 'Mostly I grew up in Illian, my father was a Taraboner. '

Alison nods in agreement.

You say 'My very great grandmother was an accepted who absconded the tower, many
generations ago'

You say 'our family have continued quiet service of a sort until now.'

Alison says 'Why did she do that?'

You say 'I think it was some political thing she became enmeshed in.'

You say 'Treatment at the hands of one or two members.'

You say 'She eloped with a Tower guard.'

Alison says 'When did this happen?'

You say 'some hundereds of years ago now.'

You say 'It is from her that I took the name, or at least my parents gave it to me'

Alison nods in agreement.

You say 'something the midwife said made them do it, they said.'

Alison says 'So now you are here. I hope you dont have the same notions as your great
grandma'

You say 'I do not.'

You say 'The tower of now seems not like the one she desribes in her diary.'

Alison says 'I have been around few hundred years. It has changed.'

You say 'When I came of age and started to show signs of the power I was sent to Andor to
live with a wisdom for a while.'

Alison frowns.

Alison says 'How did that go?'

You say 'It went well, for all that I preferred the gathering of herbs to the using.'

Alison says 'Did you have aspiritions to become a wisdom?'

You say 'I did consider it, but I think the focus on healing and local... concerns... made
me think further afield'

You say 'Especially once I'd met one or two Aes Sedai.'

Alison nods in agreement.

Alison says 'Now you are in the tower as well. Hopefully this generation of yve will do
better?'

You say 'It is my intention.'

Alison says 'What have you learnt about the one power that you can teach me.'

You say 'I would be shocked if I could teach you a single thing, Alison Sedai.'

Your cheeks are burning.

Alison smiles happily.

Alison says 'What is the one weave you use the most?'

You say 'Honestly I blind everything that looks at me funny.'

You say 'I used to use spikes of ice to attack things, but have learned new and also more
subtle methods now.'

Alison says 'Lets go with that weave then.'

Alison says 'Name five creatures you have blinded'

You say 'well, spiders, trees, smugglers thieves and bandits... '

You say 'I travelled a little before I joined the tower, so have faced a number of foes.
'

Alison says 'of those that you mentioned. Which was the one that failed the blind weave
the most?'

You say 'I took some instruction from Vhalerie on the methods to effectively blind groups
of foes.'

You say 'there are certain smuggler foes that are harder than others. Though I believe
now that I have more experience with it I would do better.'

Alison says 'It was mentioned that its called a status weave and your level helps with
blind.'

Alison says 'What do you understand about my statement?'

You say 'It applies a negative, lasting condition to the foe, and your chance of success
depends on your level of experience.'

Alison says 'Elaborate. Apply logic to your analysis'

You say 'First principles I suppose should be that there are at least two opponents,
facing each other.'

You say 'they will use any means at their disposal to harm one another.'

You say 'Use of the one power if available is favourable as it offers a huge advantage
over those without it.'

Alison says 'Interesting.'

You say 'so applying a negative condition to your foe to impair their progress can only
help yours'

You say 'especially with a status like blindness which can hamper them in many ways'

Alison says 'Do you think a negative condition cannot be a favour to the person who it was
weaved upon?'

You say 'Perhaps if one is imbued with power based fear, then maybe you would not be able
to bring yourself to start a fight you would lose?'

You say 'but that is maybe a little obtuse.'

Alison says 'Pertaining to blind?'

You say 'There I think you have me stumped for now.'

Alison says 'Lets say you and i are sparring'

Alison says 'And you get a blind off on Alison sedai.'

Alison says 'By that logic you are the winner, right?'

Yve pantomine sends a weave at you.

You say 'maybe, but only if I actually gain from it, I think'

Alison says 'Ah, there it is.'

You say 'Well, the blindness will help, in theory, with whatever your next move is.'

Alison says 'When you blind me the false bias will apply to you instantly. And you will
assume you are the winner.'

Alison says 'Yet, i guarentee you if you blind me. You will not find me'

Alison says 'i once sparred an aes sedai.'

Alison says 'She did the blinding. I got away far from the fight.'

Alison says 'While blind.'

Alison says 'So in that case, the blind was a false bias for you and a positive for me.'

You say 'Running while blind is quite the acquired skill.'

Alison says 'Yet its aquired'

Alison says 'I can blind myself. And practice to run.'

Alison says 'zone knowledge helps'

You say 'For you, being blind led to an obvious choice to withdraw, meaning victory was
impossible.'

Alison says 'Till i quaff and come back'

Alison says 'Which then applies to me the abillity to not be blinded again.'

Alison says 'For a period of time.'

You say 'net result, blind no longer a viable play for a time.'

Alison nods in agreement.

You say 'might cause wasted attacks'

Alison says 'See its possible to learn new things daily.'

You say 'Oh I know that. I feel recently as though I've woken up again and things seem,
easier? More obvious maybe?'

Alison says 'Id like you to study more up on the blind weave and get the opinions of other
accepted and novices.'

Alison says 'Then when we meet again, we discus it?'

You say 'Yes, Alison Sedai.'

Alison says 'Any questions you have about the White Ajah?'

You say 'I don't know that I do, at this time.'

Alison says 'Well it was good to meet you. Let us have another interaction in the future.'

You say 'Thank you for your time, Alison Sedai. It's been educational.'

You giggle.

Alison smiles happily.

Alison opens the doubledoors.

Alison leaves north. ^^

You'd feel silly curtseying to thin air.

I have awarded Yve 1 rpqp and Alison 1 qp for this log. See any silver-haired Aes Sedai to 'receive' them.

I always enjoy RP that reveals something new or interesting about a character. Keep it up!
