Questions from Ask.fm

• Are there any megucas in places of power outside of Officio control, like queens, princesses or politicians?
  • Of course! [1]

• Is there any spy from the Twentieh in the Ninth? And in case the answer is yes... IS ONE OF THE GIRLS THAT WE KNOW????!!!!!
  • It's rumored that the Twentieth has spies in all the Officios. The only way to be sure is to purge your entire Officio down to the last girl, and then kill her just to be double-sure! [2]

• Which religions correspond to red and blue truth?
  • I'm not sure if I can point out any equivalents, but the faith that believes in the Blood Knight's teachings would most likely be somewhat Viking-ish? Valhalla, fighting, drinking, so on. As for the First Knight, it would be hardcore Crusader catholic + Imperial Creed, with a strong emphasis of crushing heretics under your heel. [3]

• In the MGNQ universe, who popularized the use of "dildos" in the 9th Officio and what is it's definition in context? Just an expletive?
  • That honor goes directly to Sayaka, after one of her visits to the Eighth. She didn't know the exact meaning of it (and she still doesn't) but she figured it was a really unique way to call someone a fucking idiot. And so it's taken root in the Ninth as part of the vernacular there, to call someone out on their lack of skill, common sense, or just being an idiot in general. [4]

• Does the first officio issue meguca holidays?
  • Yep! There are holidays like Emperor's Day, Day of the First Knight, holidays where the Megucas can take breaks! [5]

• What does the ideal Eversor breakfast look like?
  • High protein, high energy! Meat, preferably rare and bloody, with energy drinks! [6]

• So, like, raw meat? Freshly killed meat? Meat that's alive right up until it's consumed?
  • Yep! Of course Sayaka just cooks a lot of steak for Kyoko. She's trying to make her eat healthier so instead of beef it's usually tuna or salmon. [7]

• Sayaka hasn't be introduced to the 10/10 meat that is chicken I see. (red meat is supposed to be bad for you yes?)
  • It's bad for sedentary folk, yeah. But if you're really building muscle (and have a hyperactive Eversor metabolism) then protein is protein. [8]

• 2 questions: Does the Church of the Blessed Lady have things like Saints? Did the Blessed Lady religion exit before the arrival of the 20 Officio-leading Incubators?
  • The Church does indeed have things like saints. And yes, it did! [9]
