She even seems to follow Skaia’s spoiler-policy, with the occasional act of misleading solely through glimpses of truth. As a Muse of Space - which translates almost word for word to “fondly regard creation”, GPI-style (note the spiral on his head) - she’d be perfectly fine as a passive facilitator of existence, watching, seeing, knowing, and guiding. If you think about it, a Cherub like Calliope would uniquely enjoy something akin to the privilege of being Skaia, or something like a Genesis Frog. so peacefUl, so mUch space to yoUrself and time to think. UU: what do yoU think of the place by the by? –We learn that benevolent, Creation-oriented cherubs are meant to be able to enjoy a nigh-eternity of isolation. For good cheru8s, this readies them for a long life of isol8tion, as they will prefer to avoid the sort of conflict that comes with social interaction as they have 8een conditioned to understand it. They grow to detest one another, and develop a view of social interaction centered entirely around animosity and confront8tion. Aside from when it is time to m8, they may go their entire lives without encountering another.
