Re: ONYX

What did you spend with your 150 220 points?:
20 Stuffed Animal Level 2 (a Sneasel for Maleficent)
50 Fireplace Level 2
40 Exercise Mat Level 3
60 Bathtub Level 3 (customized to be extra sturdy and deep rather than fancy, since it's for Feraligatr)
20 Lantern Level 2
20 a good climbing rope

What makes a home warm?
Well... there are two kinds of warmth, right? Physical warmth and... emotional warmth, I guess. I spent a lot of time around nothing but ice and cold people as a child, and it wasn't-- I didn't like it. So being physically warm is important for comfort and survival, but so is emotional warmth... I think. For most of my life, my home has been wherever my sister was. We kept each other warm.

How can knights bring warmth to others?
We can help heroes on quests to bring physical warmth to their teams. But we can also bring emotional warmth to each other through comfort and companionship. I'd like to think we've done that for Maleficent.

Did you incorporate that into your room or your patron's room? If so, how?
I think so. For my room, I traded a few things for extra points. Most of the things I bought were for my Pokémon, honestly. I got the fireplace and bathtub for Feraligatr, because he's going to be pretty cold here and I want him to be comfortable. The training mat and rope are for, well, training. They're my team, and to me, they're the biggest reminder of "home" that I have.

I came a little late to the game, so Onyx had already come up with a lot of good ideas for Maleficent's room. I wanted to give her something simple but comforting, so I suggested a stuffed animal. Originally it was going to be a cat, but Sasuke said that a Sneasel might mean more to her. I also used my leftover points to contribute to more soil for her garden. I want Maleficent to be comfortable here, and know that we all care for her.
