    Default [SPOILER] Somethings I don't understand in "Don't split the party"

    First of all, I just want to say that this is my first thread
    And second of all, this thread will contain spoilers, since its about something I don't understand in the fourth OOTS book.

    Now, for those of you who have bought the fourth book, you know that it contains a cast of characters. And on that page there are pictures of all the people that is involved in this book, and then a line to another person for if that person killed the other one, captured and etc. etc. But what I don't understand is that from Belkarthere is an arrow that point to Vaarsuvius that says "Wants to Shtup". What does that mean? because I check above and from Haley to Elan it says "Dating/Shtupping" those that mean - and I quote Belkar- that Belkar wants to "bone" V?

    Yes, it means Belkar wants to have sex with Vaarsuvius.

    I think that was a joke. They hate each other and both wish the other one would just shut up and be silent.

    It was a joke, but I think it's canon too. Belkar wants to sleep with Vaarsuvius (but he probably still hates hir), and V just hates him. Maybe it'll get more attention, maybe it won't, but it's great fodder for fanfiction.

    Small reminder why Belkar wants to Shtup V

    Since the chart lists that in DSTP, V has not been doing enough to move back to the Hate category.

    Well, just because V thinks it to be so doesn’t actually make it so. We can only claim it as true canon because a supposedly-omniscient narrator made the chart for us.

    Heck, given V's track record when it comes to knowing how emotions and relationships work, the fact that she thinks it might make it false.

    The preponderance of the evidence suggests that V's theory is complete crap. Belkar likes Elan (Roy has boobies!) but doesn't want to sleep with him. For the most part, Belkar does choose from one of 3 options (leave alone because it's not worth the effort, kill, 'bone') but not always.

    You are accepting a theory about people's emotions. That is put forth by V?

    This has been considered false, as V isn't always right. Belkar clearly have more emotions than hate and lust, take for example Mr. Scruffy. Belkar doesn't hate him, but he doesn't want to sleep with him either.

    As with Elan, what makes you so sure he doesn’t?

    For bonus disturbing points: What makes you so sure he hasn't?

    Belkar does demonstrate a special fondness for Mr. Scruffy. Consider that in light of the future incident that the Oracle mentions to the spellcasters who come to raise him. Unless you value your sanity, of course.

And I say this from a GM POV.
