Owner's Name: Strifeling
Participating Soquili: Faolchú
Link to Teepee: Strifeling

How will you change your luck this year? Faolchú looks away, uncertain. "Some believe that prayers to the old gods and the spirits can change one's luck, but I'm not so certain."
Do you think it’s luck or is it chance? Faolchú flicks an ear, thinking. "What's the difference?"
What is luck to you? "I consider myself very lucky. I have almost everything I could ever hope for, thanks to my family."

Participating Soquili: Lumi
Link to Teepee: Strifeling

How will you change your luck this year? Lumi sneers, "I have no need for it. Any change I make is within my own power to make."
Do you think it’s luck or is it chance? "It's only chance. Good luck, or bad luck -- there's no such thing. Next you'll be telling me destiny and curses are real, too."
What is luck to you? "There's no such thing as luck; there's no need to ascribe any superstitious belief to chance events and it has no bearing on success. Chance events and opportunities occur, but even those can be overridden with power, preparation, hard work, and sheer force of will. "

Owner's Name: Strifeling
Participating Soquili: Golden Gaze
Link to Teepee: Strifeling

How will you change your luck this year? "There's a tradition one of my friends taught me -- make a wish, and tie the symbol of your wish to a tree. I can't do the tying myself, though, I usually need help from a familiar." She grins, showing her teeth.
Do you think it’s luck or is it chance? "Honestly, I don't think our lives are ruled by either of those two... I believe more in destiny. Of course, some are luckier than others, and some chance events, like being in the right place at the right time, happen too. But can't they also be explained by fate?"
What is luck to you? "Luck is a sign of good fortune. What that fortune is, I think, varies from person to person... be it riches, a close family, a one true love, a purpose in life, or something else."

Owner's Name: Lunadriel
Participating Soquili: Skuld
Link to Teepee: [x]

How will you change your luck this year? "I do not consider myself unlucky, and in need of luck to change anything."
Do you think it’s luck or is it chance? Skuld lifts her chin ever so slightly. "I think fate or action take precedence over luck or chance. It's either meant to happen, or you make it happen. Only you can change your situation. Relying on luck is foolish.:
What is luck to you? "A gamble of the unwise, or one who does not understand good fortune."

Owner's Name: Lunadriel
Participating Soquili: Ceremony
Link to Teepee: [x]

How will you change your luck this year? "Ooo." she says with a creepy excitement as she ponders your question. "I might make a new spell for a luck charm! Yes. yes, but what ingredients would I use to make it lucky?" she begins to ramble off ingredients and argue with herself on what might be successful or not. You have to ask your second question several times to break her ramblings...
Do you think it’s luck or is it chance? "What? Hmm?" she says as you finally have her attention with the next question. "WELL." It's both!" she says with a raspy cackle.
What is luck to you? "Finding rare ingredients! Like the orange blood of my son!" shivers with a devious smile, then grins at you in a way that might make you question your safety.

Owner's Name: Lunadriel
Participating Soquili: Kodama
Link to Teepee: [x]

How will you change your luck this year? Looks at you, then looks away. He is able to answer your question, but rarely talks. Only if the moment requires him to speak. This is his way, after being silent for so many long after a traumatic childhood.
Do you think it’s luck or is it chance? Doesn't even look back at you when you ask the second question, giving any sign that he heard you.
What is luck to you? Stands there stoically. When you think he's not going to talk to you at all, he begins to walk away. Before he's out of ear shot he pauses, turns his head to the side without eye contact, and speaks: "Luck is a cruel game the spirits play. For there to be luck, there has to be misfortune in those without it..." Without waiting to see if you heard him, he continues walking away.

How will you change your luck this year? PB looks at you and shrugs. "I dunno. Maybe find some new cute clothes?" she says.
Do you think it’s luck or is it chance? "Do I...think what is luck or chance?" Lifts her shoulders up slowly, like this is a trick question. "Luck?" she asks, expecting to be told if that's the right answer or not.
What is luck to you? "Hmm.. A four leaf clover maybe?" begins to sweat a little, wondering if she got all these answers wrong!

Owner's Name: Lunadriel
Participating Soquili: Sprout

How will you change your luck this year? "Oof. I'll take more naps. Meet less people... that would be pretty lucky." He says with a grumpy face.
Do you think it’s luck or is it chance? Scratches his head with one of his vines. "I think it's luck. Sure."
What is luck to you? Gets a sparkle in his eyes. "A four leaf clover." he says with childlike wonder.

Participating Soquili: Seraphiel

Are you street smart or of the learned variety? "Street smart, absolutely. That's not to say I never formally studied anything, but life gave me no choice except to learn though hard experience."
Do you feel you listen well even if you're smarter than your average Soq? "Do I what now?"
how do you solve real life problems? "The same way as everyone else does and as with everything else in life -- as well as I possibly can given the circumstances."

Participating Soquili: Champagne

Are you street smart or of the learned variety? Champagne takes a moment to think about it. "I don't know if I'd say I'm either of those two things. I've had an apprenticeship, but I don't think that counts as being 'learned'?"
Do you feel you listen well even if you're smarter than your average Soq? "I try to listen to everyone as best I can. Everyone deserves to have their thoughts and feelings heard."
how do you solve real life problems? "I solve problems with patience, slowly and steadily, only after fully understanding the problem and its situation."

Are you street smart or of the learned variety? Faolchú pauses to consider the question, "I'm not sure... I guess a little of both?"
Do you feel you listen well even if you're smarter than your average Soq? "I don't know if I would say I'm smarter than the average person..."
how do you solve real life problems? "I solve problems once I fully analyze the situation, but I act quickly when it's necessary, and sometimes that means consequences can't always be predicted. I take into consideration everyone's input and feelings whenever possible."

Are you street smart or of the learned variety? Thistle ponders this, "Well, I'm not much of a fighter, and I'm not self-taught, but I haven't had a formal education yet."
Do you feel you listen well even if you're smarter than your average Soq? "Ehh... well... I consider others' opinions but credentials and experiences are important."

Are you street smart or of the learned variety?
I pride myself on my intelligence. It is good to have a healthy balance of both, given having one of more than the other will only get you so far in certain situations.
Do you feel you listen well even if you're smarter than your average Soq?
I do not waste my time on those who I do not deem worth my ear.
how do you solve real life problems?
With careful though and planning. Rushing into situations is foolish. But action must always be taken.

Participating Soquili: Fand Deneb

Are you street smart or of the learned variety?
Street smart, if that counts knowing how to flirt and woo others!
Do you feel you listen well even if you're smarter than your average Soq?
I always listen to others. You can learn a lot by listening.
how do you solve real life problems?
I guess... I just do things? I don't know, I just go where and do what my heart tells me!

Participating Soquili: Ramiel "The Star Touched"
Link to Teepee: boop

Are you street smart or of the learned variety?
I believe I'm more of the learned variety. My family has taught me how to hone my skills to help others.
Do you feel you listen well even if you're smarter than your average Soq?
Yes. I think so. Sometimes all another Soq needs is someone who will listen to them, and I am not afraid to be that for them.
how do you solve real life problems?
I take action. It's never good to let things fester with inaction.

Participating Soquili: Takala
Link to Teepee: boop

Are you street smart or of the learned variety?
Who cares about either? If it doesn't help me keep territory or with hunting, it's useless.
Do you feel you listen well even if you're smarter than your average Soq?
I listen well while hunting, if that's what you mean.
how do you solve real life problems?
Tsk... If I have problems, I solve them by hunting whoever's giving them to me.

Participating Soquili: Ahiru

Are you street smart or of the learned variety?
Oh, I think I'm more of the learned kind!
Do you feel you listen well even if you're smarter than your average Soq?
Yes, I do! Sometimes it's easier for me to listen than it is to talk.
how do you solve real life problems?
I always make sure to consider all sides of an issue. I can be pretty slow to act on things.
