SESSION TODAY
SESSION TODAY WAS FUN..!!! Roma did his interview to get into Vallaki and it was interesting because despite the fact that Roma didn't know common and could really only answer with yes/know/a scattering of words, the guard was able to sus out enough that the reason questions like "are you here to commit ACTS OF SEDITION" or "ARE YOU CONTRACTED WITH ANY MALIGN ENTITIES" didn't raise any red flags with the Lie Detector Spider was because Roma's value system didn't align with the one in place in Vallaki... or in place in Barovia in general.
For better or for worse, Roma also was very forthright and in some ways generous with his statements, since its in him to be honest not just because of his nature, but also because he doesn't yet believe in the value and power of words, and doesn't feel like what he says can be turned against him in any literal, meaningful way... at least, not like in the Fey Forest where he grew up, where words are literally Binding and here its like, whatever. It makes mse SO nervous and its hard to not Not say things bc I as a player Know the consequences but ROMA.. DOESN'T CARE..!! HE'S GOTTA SAY OUT LOUD HOW STUPID HE THINKS STRAHD IS AND ALL THESE PEOPEL
Thankfully when he said he was visiting a girl here ("What reasons bring you here?") the guy thought he was. visting his girlfriend and not trying to rescue Our Fated Ally SDKJOGIJ
i need to find and rb that viktor/fire comic that shit slapped so hard and i missed it
more thoughts under the CUT
One of roma's deep core beliefs is that the world is full of Beasts, and when Beasts are hungry, they Hunt. All Beasts Hunger, without exception. When Hunting, the strong crush the weak and then then everyone who isn't strong must Struggle or Die.
It's very defeatist, and he believes in this in both a neutral and negative way, in that while he's accepted many ... systems isn't the word he'd use, but that's basically what it is, in the world operate like this, roma is still sometimes Soooo bitter about it because. he doesn't consider himself one of the Strong, and while struggling is an Option, Struggling Sucks Ass. Being Prey Sucks Ass. Being Weak Sucks Fucking Ass. And he carried SOOO much anger and bitterness about it because he Knew there weren't folks who weren't struggling and being a person who Used To Be A Part Of A Human Family, roma Knew things didn't have to be this way But They Were And No One Was Helping Him.
I dont think that anger is gone when he talks with VR, but I think that his anger is part and parcel with how much he loves VR. Roma adores VR because he has a certain understanding of how shit and hard things can be and he's SO happy VR does actions that go against the weird cycle of the world, so if VR were to abandon the morals that roma Assumed VR had and loves so much, I dont think it'd be hard for roma to key back into his anger and be So reckless about it, bc the origin of love and anger are the same thing in him
WAIT i can talk about secret character lore bc none of party is on tumblr
one thing i Do Think About is that roma's big backstory secret is tl;dr that he was a cannibal for a little while, like hunting and killing actual people, and then VR saved him and he stopped being a cannibal and awful person bc the rescue was so affecting, but recently the party came across a diary where VR was talking about. killing All The Vistani bc he was aggrieved over his dead son and inwardly roma was like :) you're not allowed to do this and then yelled at vr to not do this
but if there ever came a point where VR didn't back down on doing that i imagine that roma would spiral So Hard... like mileage may vary but roma would do his best to Be The Monster Van Richten Told Him Not To Be
can't believe ive been given (entire self imposed) the sisyphean task of having to make my own content to feed myself. what the fuck. whose idea wsa this (it was my own idea)
anyway i love both ez and roma (and every other npc) and i just think its funny that my description i will not change says that my posts are mostly going to be roma when ez is Rapidly Catching Up
If you have left me a nice tag please know I've plucked it out and dried it in the warm sun so I can then use it to garnish bubbly sodas to drink and feel refreshed even once the season has passed
