Calling All Muses - Cadence - 02-04-2025
I know there are other muses out there (Roza and Danica if I remember correctly). This is something I’ve been thinking about for a bit. Are the muse powers (power to inspire artists/scientists to greater heights) come from the one power or is more of a “natural” gift to inspire? In the recording session thread, I played it as the latter. I think of it as a more natural inclination as opposed to a more supernatural push/manipulation. Any thoughts?

For Roza it's a little bit of both.
But mostly because I get mean girl vibes from her so she's manipulative in all sorts of ways and being naturally good at it is only helpful. She doesn't mainpulate with the OP yet, but I wouldn't put it past her. But her inspiration does come from her use of the OP as in that's how she 'inspires' people on top of the natural inclination to manipulate people.

That’s kind of what I’m doing too. The way I’m writing her is that inspiration is a natural gift (in the case above, she knew what to say and when to say it), but it can be enhanced by the one power. The desire to inspire (hehehe) is something that comes from her reborn soul. Actually for Cadence it’s really a need to inspire, but I couldn’t resist the rhyme :-p
What I personally wanted to show in that thread when I wrote her “musing” was that it was a natural inclination. I don’t doubt the power may come into play with it eventually, and don’t think all three of us (potentially nine) have to play it the same way just curious on what others think :-)

Ditto for Danika.
I consider her passion for astronomy to be soul-level love, which she possesses in each of her previous lives. Her talents are enhanced if she channels ("muses").
