1. How well do you feel that you were able to use your words to exert your power over others? How effective were you in bringing those who opposed you to submission?
Neither was very effective. We could have done a lot more if I'd been the one actually fighting, but then Judai would have been stuck strategizing, and that would have been a total disaster.
2. What change do you feel in your understanding of the power that words might hold now?
None. They're important even when they're not conjuring up illusions. Anyone who doesn't think so is an idiot.
3. What harm did your words do to those you faced? What benefit did you find within them?
The guy with the long hair got really pissed off, but I'm getting the impression his face is pretty much stuck like that. But I guess playing against Coral was okay, since they seemed really happy with the fight.

Bonds
1. How do you feel that this game has strengthened your understanding of your partner? How has it been weakened?
If that was a goal of the game, you definitely failed. I guess he did all right, but it wasn't anything spectacular.
2. What strength do you feel you gained from the bond you shared within this game?
None.
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?
Definitely. We're good in games together, and he's creative. But he's not in Aather, and never has been. Other than him, Lambda, since we're usually on the same wavelength.

Change
1. What changes did you observe in the physique of your companions? What do you feel was the criteria for such change?
Cat ears and tails. Stupid names appearing on our bodies. You'd have to be blind not to notice. The criteria for cat ears was apparently completely biased against Kunzite and you should feel bad about that.
2. How do you feel the treatment of those altered differed from those who were not?
Lambda and Ruka were pretty sad about not having cat ears. But that's about it.
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?
I don't know what cat ears have to do with "private affairs," but if you try to reveal anything about me I don't want revealed I'll fucking kill you.

Any additional thoughts/comments: The idea of word battles was pretty good, but the partner selections could have been better. Things needed to be more challenging, too. Also, what the fuck was up with the whole cat ears thing?
