it's ME, back again with

lore questions for a fic i'm writing

ambition: nemesis edition!

spoilers for nemesis below!

i know the gist of what's up with mr mirrors, but what's its existence in parabola like before the pc rocks up?

also, what do we know about its personality? the impression i've got from snippets i've seen is that it's very melodramatic and self-pitying; is that accurate?

any mirrors info/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

[theirrepressibleheiress]

A rough timeline of the Irrepressible Heiress's bullshit

This is very late, maybe a bit more unwieldy than is ideal, and has spoilers for Ambition: Nemesis towards the end! However, here it is at last so there's info about the Heiress out in the world.

The Heiress was born to a minor aristocratic family, and grows up as more or less an average grammar or private school aristocratic surface kid.

They don’t really try or engage too much, are all around unremarkable, but have a few friends, but are very close to their older brother, in a kind of “loose admiration, see each other occasionally and always enjoy catching up” way

The Heiress’s brother was a Prefect and generally kind of the golden child when they were both at school - as the younger sibling going through a lot of the same teachers that expectation definitely weighed on the Heiress - their brother told them not to worry, pointed out their own strengths, etc. Everyone else was definitely much more “why aren’t you as good as your brother”, though not always overtly.

Once their brother leaves school, the Heiress ends up putting him a bit on a pedestal and seeing him much more rarely.

During the Heiress’s last year of schooling, word reaches the surface that their brother died on a business trip to the Neath.

The newly-in-line-to-the-inheritance Heiress does not take this well - they don’t quite stop completely but it’s definitely something everyone around them notices.

The instant the notion of foul play reaches them, they blow all their savings, social capital, everything, to get to the Neath

They fully just jump on the first ship towards Italy - by the time they reach the Cumaean Canal they’re broke.

This gives them what is by all accounts a terrible idea - they make the last leg of the journey by picking fights with zailors until they are detained and (after insisting on being tried in the Neath) brought to New Newgate

After their escape, they spends a bit getting in with criminals, doing petty crime, chasing up little leads, just kind of blindly fucking around, as well as doing a bunch of assorted detective work and not really thinking about the contradictions in those last two.

To be honest they don’t really think a lot about their plans or how they got here - they threw everything away for this and are now desperately trying to justify it and navigate the mess they’ve landed in

This is also around when they start questioning their gender and realising a small part of why the expectation to be their brother always stung.

Around this time, they meet the Violant-Scrawling Apologist (@violant-apologia's character), and fall into an ill-fated relationship

Eventually, this coalesces into getting a university position and curiosity about the Neath’s deeper mysteries and weirdness going on, especially as those tie into the fate of their brother.

As they follow more leads and get further through Nemesis, they become more single-minded, more pro-Revolutionary and very fervently Liberationist.

This, combined with the Apologist doing Seeking and shifting towards White on the Chessboard, is not exactly a recipe for a long-lasting marriage.

Right before divorce, the Heiress ends up heading to the Avid Horizon during the Missing Month part of Nemesis, and sees the Apologist’s ship wrecked on the ice. The Apologist is alive - he’s just turned back from SMEN - but it’s around this point the Heiress realises how far apart the two of them have drifted.

When the Heiress returns to London after all that, the Apologist files divorce proceedings. The process isn’t overtly hostile - there’s no fight over property or similar, but political barbs are exchanged and the two of them realise just how opposed they’ve become.

Soon after, the Heiress fights through the rest of Nemesis, culminating in the resurrection of their brother. Whether deliberate malice on Cups’ part, or just some freak occurrence of the process, he has most of his memories but is left persistently unable to accept that his rescuer is the person he used to call brother.

From there, the Heiress helps get him on his feet in terms of lodgings and explanations about the Neath, but the pair’s interactions are rocky - sometimes they have almost that once-lost closeness, sometimes one will make a reference the other misses. Sometimes, he will pause at the word brother, as though trying to work out if it’s addressed to him.

"Sometimes on the anniversary of the strange blue symbols appearing alongside the correspondence on the skin of the Bazaar, if you wander through the streets near the spiraling towers at the center... you can hear what sounds like a violin playing on the wind. The sound is distant, hard to tell from where it comes from.

You heard rumors at some point that one of the towers lay unoccupied by the masters. That instead a human had set up residence inside one of the rooms in the tower.

One day when you hear that music again, you decide to look up at that tower. You see the blurry outline of a figure, oh so high up there, sitting on a balcony near a window on the towering structure. Is that...? A violin in the person's hand? So that's where the music has been coming from..."

I've been grinding for Knifegate since Whitsun. I have 565 knives. I may be able to get the rest by February. I am so close I can taste it.

[the-avaricious-meddler]

One thing I find interesting about the ending of Nemesis is... If you kill Cups, you complete the goal it was working towards. The seventh story is put into place. If you spare it, it stops and takes down the stories of vengeance from the Bazaar (probably because you scared it by yknow. Almost killing it).

[neednothavehappenedtobetrue]

I decided not to kill Mr. Cups.

I think Elizabeth will regret it, but I also think it's what she'd do.

god, the choices were not this heart-wrenching in Heart's Desire.

I think I'm doing the diamond one next.

Actually doing the Cardinal's Honey dream sequence during Whitsun does allow for some fun energy with the beasties. Cassie Hart and their emotional support Terror Bird that hatched basically immediately after they saw one potential end to their bloody quest of vengeance (and a reminder of how many other people Cups did this to) in the dreams of the dead.
