Friday DE: When you hear the price they paid

[bjornwilde]

When your pup enters today, they find Milliways decked out as a masquerade. They are also given a mask, because Bar is that way. However, they are given one choice. What is the mask? Would it be different if you chose for them?

Ooof, this question would have been way too open for me to answer if there weren't already a mask associated with Amascut. It's the full head mask pictured in the icon that was an actual in-game item that allowed the player to eat the souls of NPCs they killed for extra XP. There was only a limited amount of XP the mask would grant and the mask was only attainable once, so players couldn't carry on eating souls forever.

Yes, those are kitty ears. Amascut is painfully unaware that the tiara she wears sometimes makes her look like a catgirl >:3

Quick like...
Ahsoka: CW-era, a akul (whatever they look like) to represent her fighting prowess. Not very Jedi-like, but there it is. Rebels-era, a blank face. (I'd go with a convor mask)

Sabine...not sure. A loth-cat or maybe an anooba.

Danny, a Chinese dragon.

Viv is not sure and ends up with the robot from Metropolis.

Dog/Kibeth chooses a dog mask of course. (I'd be tempted to go with a white cat or a shiney houndoom from Pokemon, for reasons.)

Jessica doesn't seem to have an opinion...odd. Umm...a Captain Marvel themed mask?

Neither would be likely to do this unless forced to by the Bar or idk maybe on some mission but. For Hera probably a bird. I'd maybe say a Jart since that's a Ryloth bird of prey, but then I'd also have to decide what it looks like.

Kanan's would be a lothwolf.

Absolutely no one will be fooled as to Bastion's identity with the mask on, but it's for aesthetic. It looks like an assortment of flowers with eyeholes. They're pretty much wearing it as a headband; it's obscuring the upper half of their eyelight. (They can see out of their chest eyelight and the bottom half of the main one, it's fine.) A bird would also be a fine choice. Ganymede gets a tiny mask too, because the mental image is adorable.

I think I'd give Aradia a skull, but... do trolls have myths about phoenixes? (If they have actual phoenixes it's probably some sort of awful fungal undead thing activated by heat, which isn't the intended point.) She would likely prefer that, if so.

Cirava wants a mask that fits their aesthetic, i.e. abstract geometric shapes. A wasp would also work, as their lusus was (is?) a giant wasp.

Thurlow's is an owl.

Wilson gets a catcoon.
