An open tag from @authorcoledipalo.
This time, I'm doing this with the four most integral Heroes: Izi, Hota, Tagif, and Lozef:
Izi: It depends on what, I think. I promised Vimir I would make the train tickets free, so I can't really team up with the train company to make that happen. But to save Meiste? Obviously if there's no better choice, I'd do anything to save our world.
Hota: Izi's too trusting. I make very few enemies, and I keep my closest friends near my chest. If I've decided I can't trust you, I will never decide to trust you again.
Lozef: Regrettably, I'm more like Izi on this one. I've had to swallow my pride twice and admit that I'm wrong in order to do what's right. That's what's most important, anyways.
Tagif: Hota's got the right idea. I pound my enemies into the dust!
Izi: Hota always tells me I don't handle people questioning my authority very well, and they're right about that.
Hota: Izi says I am such a good planner that I can't stand when there isn't a plan, mostly emphasizing that I'm not flexible enough sometimes. Izi's gung-ho attude is just as anxiety-inducing as it is refreshing.
Lozef: Ok, doing shit that pertains to me without asking first is my biggest pet peeve. It's usually pretty small-like Izi changing the windows in the chapel. I swapped them for a reason! Don't swap them back!
Tagif: I don't care about authority, I care about expertise. Like, you're going to explain to me how to to build a chestplate with bulit-in holographic computer screens? Nobody's done that, yet, but Hota and I have butted heads over political expertise.
Izi: Well, it's gotta be believable, but not something you're actually scared of, right? Otherwise the monster will terrify the living daylight out of you. So, I guess I would say something like beetles.
Hota: I think it depends on whether or not I know what this monster is capable of. If it's Tev? I'd be honest: the death of Izi-or Tagif or Lozef-would kill me mentally, I think. If it's an sort-of evil Meiste? Beetles.
Lozef: No point in lying to the damn thing, I can take it. Losing my magic is my biggest nightmare, and I grapple with how Dolgof and Pagjom must've felt every day. My second-biggest is if something happened to Tev.
Tagif: My biggest nightmare is if Heja'umak thinks I'm weird or something. I can live with that, but it would hurt a lot. I guess I'm fortunate that my biggest nightmare is just wondering if my crush likes me back?
Open tag for anyone interested!

The rules: Post five overly specific ship dynamics for characters in your story.
Mind-reading, anxious, tall one and easygoing, head-empty-no-thoughts, short one. (Hota-Izi)
Easily-manipulated, loyal, lesbian train wreck and giant lava monster who can get down to her level. (Lozef-Tev).
Capable, sciencey, badass, magically unstable Princess and revolutionary leader with virtually no magic. (Tagif-Mostijv).
Literally pining for 900 years and the one who never realized it. (Lozef-Dolgof).
Socially well-versed older sister and awkward-but-friendly younger brother. (Tagif-Izi.) Open tag!

I'll do this with three of my main OCs: Iziser, Hotautebz, and Lozerief.
Izi: Normally, I hear the phrase as "night owl or morning star." I sleep in too late to be a morning star, though.
Hota: Izi thinks he sleeps in late? 10 AM? Rookie numbers.
Lozerief: I don't sleep. I once went a period of two weeks without sleeping before my body had enough and I slept on the floor. My sleep schedule is so irreconcilably bad that I can't, in good conscience, answer this question.
Izi: I'm lactose intolerant! I hear they make good brie in the highlands, though.
Hota: I feel bad for Izi. He's missing out on the wonders of mozzarella.
Lozerief: I grew up on a dairy farm. I had a brief stint selling cheese. I can't stand the stuff anymore-cheese, milk, butter, you name it! I guess my favorite at the time was well-aged gouda. I put my heart and soul into making gouda, let me tell you.
Izi: This question is terribly unspecific! What language? Because my favorite "normal" letter is "rr." It looks like this: 工.
Hota: Again, poor Izi doesn't know the horrors of trying to learn to write Ytos. That being said, my favorite letter is the regular "r" in Ipol, which looks like this: 口.
Lozerief: Depends on the language, mostly, and script. Like, I'm old enough to remember the Classical Zispoel abugida that Pagjom invented, like, nine hundred years ago! It's hard to choose a favorite, especially in modern Ipol, which simplified the old abugida tremendously, down into an abjad. But, "f" is my favorite letter: Π.
*Sidenote: these are relative approximations of the actual characters in the Ipol Abjad, which I may later make a post on.
I tag @theothersideofthewoods @oldfashionedidiot and @authorcoledipalo + open tag. Your questions are:
What's your favorite restaurant? If you don't have one, what's your favorite food?
How many languages do you speak? Do you speak English? How many forms of those languages do you speak?
What does magic mean for you?
