So-so? Did pretty badly in the first game where we were playing a counter based strategy. In the second one, we decided to try and make the game as fun and fluffy as possible, and while we lost according to the rules, we managed to get the other side to play the way we wanted, so Star would say that we did pretty well there! We weren't really trying to bring "those who opposed us" into submission in the first place, so it doesn't matter that we "lost" that one.

2. What change do you feel in your understanding of the power that words might hold now?

...That it's a good idea to set up boundaries beforehand so that people don't get hurt? Words don't really feel more powerful than they did before the game, though.

3. What harm did your words do to those you faced? What benefit did you find within them?

Think we annoyed them a bit? The second game was pretty great, though! It helped us recover a lot from that first game, Star thinks.

Bonds

1. How do you feel that this game has strengthened your understanding of your partner? How has it been weakened?

Understanding... Don't really know if that changed, but Star got to see Pitch in a different way. He was... pretty cool, you know? He protected Star, even though Star was supposed to be the one to protect him for the game.

2. What strength do you feel you gained from the bond you shared within this game?

Having someone important to you you know you can count on. That's something special.

3. Do you feel that there is another who would have been more suited to partner with you? What reasons do you have for thinking such a thing?

There's nobody more suited than Pitch for Star. Star might not be the one best suited for Pitch, though. Star was supposed to be the one to do the protecting, after all.

Heedless freakout
Complaining to Sakuya about protection failure issues
Apologizing to Pitch/Pitch being cool

Change

1. What changes did you observe in the physique of your companions? What do you feel was the criteria for such change?

You mean the cat ears and tails? Weren't they supposed to mark people as virgins?

2. How do you feel the treatment of those altered differed from those who were not?

Well, Star saw a couple people get asked to be pet, and a friend asked Star to let him pet her, but... Otherwise, not really anything?

3. If the private affairs of your fellow heroes and knights remained visible in such a way, do you feel it would be a welcome change? What makes you feel this way?

Don't really think it would change anything? I mean, people find out about that stuff anyways, don't they? If they're interested in finding that stuff out, at least. So all it's really doing is pushing it in people's faces?

Any additional thoughts/comments:

Still don't understand why you bothered with the ears and tails, though. If they really are marking people as virgins, why bother? Seems kinda stupid and pointless.
