For Everyone: Cookies With Raisins Or Nah?

For everyone: Cookies with raisins or nah?

“I’m not much of a sweets guy, even less of raisins,” Jordi just shrugged, folding his arms across his chest, “As a concept? Sure, go nuts.”

Dusan waved his hand to the side, “I don’t have any issue with them, but it’s not as if I eat cookies too much. Gotta watch my figure, you know?” He smirked, gesturing to his waist, obviously thin in his tight sweats. He’s proud of himself. 

“All of the above,” Elias just nodded once, “However, it is quite rude to tempt one if you have no biscuits to offer. I suggest you fix that before you return.”

There was a sort of loud hum from Zenyatta’s systems as the sensors on his head flickered sporadically for a moment, “I can not eat them, but I do enjoy baking them. Many I have met enjoy oatmeal raisin cookies. It is a delight to see their smiles when they smell them baking.”

The young Five just tapped his foot, his head tilting to the side as he considered the question, “I prefer chocolate, but after so many years spent alone with only cans of beans to sustain me, I’m not particularly picky anymore.”

"The world will always be a dangerous place, Jon. Surely reading these statements has taught you nowhere is really safe." The world was not without it's fear, and sure, they witnessed the extreme minority here, but were people really any better than what they feared?

Elias folded his arms, shifting from one foot to the other. Jon wanted to know more, but there just wasn't anything clear. Elias silently cursed Gertrude for keeping things in such a state. She hindered his progress in so many ways. He was sure she was laughing from wherever she was. He hoped burning.

"I have been doing everything in my power," he shot back, defensive now, "I've given you statements that should help. I've been trying to help push you in the direction you need to be."

Notes on Zenyatta’s characterization based on what is available in game:

1- a little bit literal minded, clarifies when he is using figurative language or literal language. 2- polite. 3- laments when the enemy refuses to learn, tries to give them advice when he scores a kill. 4- emotionally perceptive of others and cares very much for the psychological wellbeing of his teammates. 5- willfully misinterprets threats from Zarya, offers her kindness and compassion. 6- doesn’t raise his voice or get easily angered. 7- as far as I can tell, he doesn’t feel superior to anyone around him and prefers to be on equal footing with the people around him. 8- is always happy to be with Genji. 9- wants to help Hanzo but Hanzo doesn’t want to listen. 10- knows about movies and has a favorite actor, probably encountered them through Genji. 11- misses Mondatta. 12- sasses the enemy Zenyatta when he gets discorded. 13- sasses people in general when they get defeated by him, but in an extremely polite way.

Conclusion:

He is a kind and powerful person who wants to be a shoulder for people to cry on, reacts to vitriol with kindness, and wants to help on an interpersonal level. He experiences the same range of emotions that anyone else does and even when he’s angry he is still polite. He doesn’t get angry very often, just disappointed. He is considerate of anyone who might not understand his figurative language, and is always happy to travel with Genji.

He’s great.

I think.. my favorite think Elias has said was just simply “Be seeing you.” to Martin as he was being arrested. Because I know-- I just know-- he had that huge shit eating grin on his face because seeing them is literally all he’s going to do from his cell. The inside joke energy is so strong and I just love it.

All Elias could do was watch, it was all he really ever did. Watch as the Archivist tore himself apart, trying to make sense of an old woman's mess left for him. He wasn't getting any closer to understanding what the Stranger had planned. It wasn't going to be an easy way to get him close to the Stranger again if they don't figure this out. There wasn't any time for existential crises.

Elias stepped closer, leaning forward over the desk, both palms down, keeping a firm tone, "The answer has to be in here, Jon," he said, slow and even, "Gertrude kept these together for a reason. Your insistence on some silly notion of what you are is what's holding you back from the truth. You aren't allowing yourself to grow into this power you hold. You need it in order to see the truth."

It was frustrating enough that the old Archivist was so defiant in her work, now there's Jon who is compliant to a point, but stubbornly self deprecating.

"You have to do this, Jon. You and your team. Otherwise the world as we know it ends."
