Check on things -- that terraforming Mars is going well and assessing Venus. Probably offloading some of the Sabra animals somewhere on the Oankali ship until Venus can be made ready for them.

I've been working under the assumption that the subadult ooloi, Dehkiaht, he met on the ship was being considered as a mate, so there's finding a female construct who doesn't mind that Akin is naturally kind of a wanderer, and helping Dehkiaht though its last metamorphosis. Maybe starting the whole 'have kids' thing. (Also probably showing Dehkiaht all the things he brought back for it as a way of dealing with very annoyed possible-mate.)

After that, he wants to visit people and places and totally abuse the wished-for world walking. And having people visit him and see Earth and Mars. He actually got Bones to conceed that Akin's Earth is one of the few places Bones could go without violating the Prime Directive, since the Oankali are starfaring*.

What about Sion, since he presumably was covered by something, despite idling out?

* They probably aren't FTL-capable, but they live exceedingly long lives and don't permanently settle on planets; it's easier to coast between stars when you have all the time you want. OTOH, maybe I'm wrong; Butler didn't say either way, and they do have gravity control.

TECHNICALLY he didn't idle exactly, but.

I'm honestly not 100% sure on Sion, since as I mentioned in Canis chan, I really couldn't address his wish or such without consulting with Ryner (and/or the rest of Canis...) because Sion is... Sion, and is highly likely to fail to take his OWN comfort/needs into account when making a wish.

THAT SAID, assuming best end and that combined wishes covered taking care of all the problems with his world including his own, he'd probably continue to be king of Roland and use whatever influence/resources he has to clean up any lingering aftermath and such. So pretty much the same as ever, except WITHOUT all kinds of dark secrets and imminent DOOM overshadowing everything. He'd definitely abuse the worldhopping and go visit people/places because his curiosity would get the better of him sooner or later. (And like I was joking about in Canis chan, quite possibly go prank Arianna at some point....)

Eventually he'd probably actually settle down and get married and all that, though, because honestly after all he's been through having a NORMAL life (or well... more or less...) is kind of incredibly appealing to him. :|b He would always welcome visitors though if people stop by!

Do your others plan to (ab)use worldhopping powers now?

[lightoflepus]

Yes. At least for visits. Akin and Tazendra would be the real wanderers. Tazendra because... so many new things to see and fight and such. Akin because... well, part of his nature is an endless quest for novelty, and he really likes humans and wants to see all the different ways they can live, in hopes that he can bring them back for his human friends. (Even telling them about the Federation would be nice -- it can be done!)

Somehow the two most likely to 'settle down' in the sense of having a SO also are the two most likely to go off on adventures.

Do you think Sion would eventually be comfortable with getting married... especially since he probably could go meet a woman who didn't know he was royalty, since he can worldwalk now? (Though maybe that's not something you spring on someone...)

[madheroking.insanejournal.com]

Sion has no problem with the idea of getting married! He just resents having it pushed on him and takes huge issue with the idea of just sleeping around with random women. Basically his issues in canon are twofold: first, a reluctance/fear of getting close to people less they be killed by someone trying to hurt him, and second, a deep disgust and hatred of his father, who DID do things like kidnap and rape random women, and a desire to be nothing like that. His experience with Canis in Sabra helped enormously on the first issue, though he still has some hangups on the second. Though it's possible that someone like Tazendra or Arianna could convince him that no, if both parties are okay with it then it's not necessarily a bad thing, if you're careful and take precautions... (And Arianna may possibly wall him a bit anyway if she visits, so. :|a)

But basically what that means is that he's still not likely to go sleeping around, but if/when he found someone he either really liked or felt he COULD come to love, he'd probably have no problems with the idea of getting married. He just wants it to be on his terms and not someone else's. :/

So someone needs to find a way for Tazendra and Masamune to meet post Sabra y/y?

[lightoflepus]

Tazendra will add it to her Helpful Advice list*. Seriously, enjoy yourself. Have Arianna show you magic Creation birth-control tea.

Is this even a question? YYY

* This is probably a terrible idea. Many things involving Tazendra are, but they are so much damn fun.

[madheroking.insanejournal.com]

....sob. But it isn't proper!!

And besides Sion's ALREADY going to be wondering a bit about Miran thanks to Tazendra... :/

And aren't you going to ask a question? XD

[baddecisiondzur]

Corrupting Easteners is a go. And she also got a Lyorn to wish to seriously change the Empire. Tazendra is a woman of many talents.

Didn't I? Oh, shit, I'm turning into Persona.

So, where does Sion wish to look around on his walkabouts?

[madheroking.insanejournal.com]

Tazendra is a woman of many talents. In bed. Fixed. :D

Probably visiting the worlds of his friends, first and foremost. And generally seeing new places and things. |D Maybe use the ability for some occasional harmless mischief~

I know I MEANT to thread with Snow more and then never quite got around to it--anything there you'd want to handwave/headcanon?

[baddecisiondzur]

Merry would have totally flirted with him, but not in a forceful way, if that makes sense. More of a 'I think you're attractive and if you show interest, I'll reciprocate' way. She may or may not have mentioned that she was a princess (depending on if it came up), and probably was very unlikely to mention the 'in exile due to matricide' short of something equally shocking from Sion.

Characters you considered apping?
