Owner's Name: LydaLynn Participating Soquili: Akos Link to Teepee: Teepee Do you believe that luck can be passed from one person to another?: Akos ponders the question for a moment. "No. No, I don't think so. If luck could be transferred, it wouldn't be luck. Luck is . . . random chance. I don't think I believe in good or bad luck, just chance that seems to follow a pattern."
If you could force such a transfer of good luck would you do it even if it left the other with no good luck at all?: "You mean . . . somehow ensure that random chance always fell in my favor in exchange for it never falling in someone else's favor? That . . . that's just cruel. No. I wouldn't do that." Akos is sure of that answer. To force someone else to have bad things happen to them all the time was not right and he wasn't about to contemplate doing that. No matter what it got him.
Would you take someone’s bad luck upon yourself if you could?: A look of puzzlement crosses Akos' face. "No. Some things are sure. The sun will rise, water is wet. Some things are not sure, the clouds will hide the sun, the river will run dry. Part of growing, being stronger, is dealing with things that aren't always going in your favor. If you make everything easy for someone, you stunt their ability to grow. Sure, maybe you take away some pain. But pain is a great teacher. To take away all the options for bad to happen to someone . . . isn't really much nicer than taking away all the good."

Owner's Name: Novablu Participating Soquili: Cyanide Stardust Link to Teepee: Link
Do you believe that luck can be passed from one person to another?: The dark mare, her pelt streaked by rainbow skeletal patterns, flicked her ears back at the winds that whispered this question; the steamy August breeze flitting through her hair like dampened fingers. Glowing eyes zeroed in on a single cloud, a cloud she could see herself talking to, and she offered a smile. “Luck, well that all depends. For all I know, the bone necklace that I wear—even though I don’t know where it came from—is lucky. But…let’s say luck is hereditary, for the record. So maybe my future puplets will have my good luck, eh?”
If you could force such a transfer of good luck would you do it even if it left the other with no good luck at all?:
She stilled as the wind stilled, her wagging tail lowering to rest between her thighs; were they asking her if she would rip someone’s luck away from them, like taking candy from a baby? Just reach in with a gaping maw of fangs and…shred it from that person’s soul? A shiver ran down her spine. “No,” she nearly growled. Though, somewhere in the back of her mind…she had the feeling that a little piece of her might do it, just to one-up someone…but whom, she couldn’t recall…
Would you take someone’s bad luck upon yourself if you could?: Cyanide snorted, the clouds forming in the sky turning dark with rain and the electricity through the air sent the feeling of spikes down her spine. “I’d rather not. I’m already unlucky enough to have lost…everything.” More than she could imagine—literally. She had no memories. “But for the right person? Maybe.”

Owner's Name: Epine de Rose Participating Soquili: Nikandros Link to Teepee: XXX Do you believe that luck can be passed from one person to another?: "Fortune and luck are determined solely by the individual involved," the Kirin replied with a courteous bow of his head. "Each individual possesses a unique energy and to combine one with another without creating new life, would cause considerable complications," he finished.
If you could force such a transfer of good luck would you do it even if it left the other with no good luck at all?: "I did say that it would cause considerable complications to transfer or combine the unique energies of individual living beings, no?" a mild smile lingered upon the soquili's lips as he spoke. "This world and every living being in it lives in a precarious state of balance, to transfer or exchange another's energy to disrupt the balance within another better, for good or for worse, would be a grave crime indeed," he explained. His expression grew serious at this and he pursed his lips, evidently unimpressed that some might consider such a thing to be a viable option.
Would you take someone’s bad luck upon yourself if you could?: "I am an empathetic and compassionate individual," the blue stallion stated and took a breath. "But while I might sympathise with that individual I would not stand in their place and act out a part of their life," he murmured. Clearing his throat he tilted his head to the side, his gaze hardening somewhat. "That is not to say I would not support them and provide assistance along their path, but I would not make the journey for them; it is their fate and their destiny."

Owner's Name: FallenThroughMidnight Participating Soquili: Dathúil Link to Teepee: Teepee Do you believe that luck can be passed from one person to another?: Why ever would it not be? Haven't you ever heard someone wishing another luck? Where else would you expect it to come from?
If you could force such a transfer of good luck would you do it even if it left the other with no good luck at all?: Oh no, never. That would be a truly terrible thing to do. Luck comes and goes, and sometimes it turns up when you need it most. Imagine if taking it left the other person unlucky when they needed it, and you didn't need it so badly as they did. Luck makes its own way. Respect it.
Would you take someone’s bad luck upon yourself if you could?: Good and bad, luck has its own way of doing things. If their luck is bad enough I wouldn't mind lending them a hoof or wing, but life is full of ups and downs. That is the point. If there were no downs, where would the ups go? If there was no bad luck, where would the good luck go? No, good or bad, a soquili's luck belongs only to themselves.
