|QuestionText=What affect would Orpheus' song have on the squid?  Could it's affect be amplified by multiple Aves using it or by characters with pre-existing similar abilities?

|AnswerText=Orpheus' Song could have an effect on the squid! The squid itself is very loud in its thoughts, and very... intense about its feelings. A lone Aves (especially if they were more on the timid or uncertain side), would have a difficult time piercing through its mental 'shell', its fully-formed and overwrought defenses. But <i>multiple</i> Aves (and characters with similar abilities) working together could potentially work to calm it, or impose some other feeling upon it.<br><br>The influence would still be temporary, so as soon as they stopped their song, the squid is likely to retreat, taken by surprise. Its emotions weren't a deafened jumble for a little while, and it's not sure what to make of that. It will react with more curiosity towards Aves in the future, as likely to prod at them, as to pull them into the water (the prodding may still hurt). (If the squid is attacked during/after the song, it will also retreat afterward, and become more wary and aggressive towards anyone remotely bird-like.)
