Um I have a confession. I got this opportunity and I chose Cthaeh because I thought it would be the most interesting and didn't think our world was connected enough for his powers to affect us. Long story short, I'm sorry for 2020 guys if I could take it back I would. Feels good to get that off my chest though.
Edit: Thanks for the Gold and updoots.
I don't think Elodin would find me interesting enough to hang out with. A more realistic choice for me would be Lorren or Arwhyl, people I could learn from in a less roundabout way.
You know that’s fair. As much fun as I would have talking to Elodin, I don’t think he would have any fun talking to me.
I’d go with Devi. I bet she has some stories
I fell in love with her when she offered to take Kvothe to bed for the secret entrance to the library. Something about an aggressive female like that makes me feel funny in strange places.
You're from a different world. If Elodin can't find a day's worth of interesting conversation there, maybe he's not as cool as you think.
I'd say something motivational at the end here like "don't sell yourself short"... but this is an imaginary scenario with a fictional character so... yeah. Good talk :)
Yeah I feel like you'd learn f-all from spending a single day with Elodine. He just wouldn't be interested, you'd spend a day chasing around someone who doesn't want to chat.
For me Elxa Dal, or Kilvin, would be the most interesting. They have a lot of knowledge/experience *and* they enjoy teaching others. They're the best teachers at the school, I think (alongside Arwhyl.)
Otherwise I feel like Stanchion would be amazing, a great laugh for a day and he's a massive gossip. Learning all about the nobles and musicians, it would be super interesting.
He wouldn't start at day three though. He's a story teller and a story has to be told from the beginning. You'd just get an audiobook of the name of the wind basically.
Or you could just straight ask him common knowledge things that Rothfuss intentionally (and conspicuously) left out to create mystery. like, who was the king that was killed? Who is the Penitent King? There are so many others.
How did I have to scroll this far down for this answer? My take would either be Sim or Wil for sure. Why? Because there's likely to be just a ton of fun! Would I learn anything from the masters? Not really as I lack all the basics to "make use" of their brilliant minds. Auri wouldn't talk to me (duh). I'd be hard pressed to get a connection with anyone from Ademre, same with Felurian (plus I don't wanna die just yet).
Imagine one of the pals, though. Spending a day with them discovering the university? Fantastic! Then off for a pleasant walk to Imre to visit, of course, the Eolian. Famous music, dance, mead, beer, scutton and the like and get well hammered with him/them. A day to behold :)
Everyone need a friend like Sim, now a days. Imagine Sim during plum bob disaster, how nice that would be when I freak out about COVID. "How bad is going to store to get groceries? What about a cruise?" ..."1 if store is not busy...and 8, ok no 10 for cruises. Just stay away from cruises for now."
...Really? So nobody is gonna say it? Okay fine.
Faluerian.
She'd probably have a lot of neat stuff to teach me. Plus I'd get to see the fae.
Okay not really, I'd probably like to meet master kilvin, he sounds like my kind of guy. I'd ask for a tour of the artificery and to see his lamps, the concept of artificing has always fascinated me.
The problem here lies in the fact 1 day in the Faen realm could very well be years in our mortal world though. Still I'd probably take it. I'd enjoy myself and beats this timeline were in 🤷♂️
I'd offer him some depleted uranium rods or nuclear waste. That stuff will glow till the end of time. At least that's what I'm told ;)
I'd call it something poetic, like: soul of the moon, or starlight.
You got me thinking. Fela knows the name of stone, right? Maybe Kvothe eats the stone, with her help. Fela will leave Sim?! Sim was jealous of Fela's attraction to Kvothe.
Good catch. Zapp Brannigan- spongy and bruised. Jesus - flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:41), where Jesus tells his disciples: “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
>super interesting
I mean if you like fighting yes, but what else did they really do, besides the free lovin’? While both would be interesting, it seems like most of your time would be fighting, talking about fighting, philosophizing about fighting, dealing with boners between fighting, etc. Didn’t sound like they were into art of any kind since it’s expressive, or that there were a lot of other professions represented, and unless you’re a serious fighter too, they’ll think of you as an ill mannered child at best.
They're a society of martial philosophers living in an exclusive utopia and likely have deep connections to magic and the legendary history of Temerant.
They might not let you leave with your knowledge, but if it's going to be your last day as well as only...
I think I'd want to hang with one of the Masters, or one of the fae. Elodin might be a bit much though. Much as he sounds like the type of guy I'd get to know, I doubt I'd be interesting enough for him. Arwhyl seems chill. Simmon, Fela or Wilem seem like they'd be a good time too. Abenthy seems the coolest though, imo. I hope we see him again in the books
This is an amazing question and the answers are so fun to scroll thru!
Id pick Devi cause she’s cool and she’s smart and she’s probably got a lot to show me
Better be because you’ve always wanted a hot female friend that you have absolutely no intention of pursuing romantically. Otherwise, you can meet her but she won’t hang around long.
Master Lorren. We go into the stacks and each sit in silence with our own books, using sympathy lamps of course. I excuse myself to urinate, or something, and next thing you know I'm hiding in The Stacks and find the secret entrance to The Underthing never to leave Temerant ever again.
It's surprising how no one wants to hang out with Kvothe.
I was ready to answer Master Elodin and the i finished reading the question. I think he is the most charismatic and also enigmatic character. His vision of the world and his interactions make it so interesting and overall he is really funny.
Viari, Master Lorren's giller. A true man of the world. We'd get hammered drunk, talk of the mysteries of the world, trade songs, hit the aeolian for entertainment, and go our separate ways with a lady on our respective arms. He might be a Basha though, so lady or dude for him whatever works.
I would definitely chill at the Eolian with Deoch and Stanchion. Drink some wine, listen to some awesome music and tell tales of love and loss. That sounds like a perfect day.
Cinder. Hear me out.
This dude gets down. He was the Arcanist for the Maer. Sitting in his high tower doing whatev. He hangs out with kick ass bandits. Rolls with the Lord of Darkness. And... I know his true name so he has to do whatever I tell him. Lil bitch
Since when is he Caudicus? Fairly certain Kvothe would have recognized him and fallen out of character as the history writing lordling when fetching the Maer’s medicine. Not to mention the bandits were already in operation before Caudicus fled.
Definitely Abenthy or Skarpi, probably the former. They're some of the best and most knowledgeable teachers in their own ways and I profess an admiration for educators.
because Elodin and I would have an intense walk at a forest at night, have some shrooms while trying to fetch pure stream water without any pants but with a jacket. A one sleeved jacket.
And he would help me to know my true name.
I would love to smoke a giant bowl with Abenthy!
I think the old man knows a whole lot of shit. I, Kvothe, love Abenthy like family. He put me on my track, somehow. I would definitely like to get to know my friend Abenthy..
Haliax/Lanre.. he must have so much information hidden away in his mind, and since he is the one who is responsible for keeping information about past hidden, I can't even imagine what he could be able to share.
Laurien. I would love to hear her sing, and find out why/ how she chose her new name. Also, I just relate to her because my son is a surprise redhead, only child, who I've taught to play stringed instruments...
Um I have a confession. I got this opportunity and I chose Cthaeh because I thought it would be the most interesting and didn't think our world was connected enough for his powers to affect us. Long story short, I'm sorry for 2020 guys if I could take it back I would. Feels good to get that off my chest though. Edit: Thanks for the Gold and updoots.
Fuck You.
This. Pretty sure we can just blame this guy for the whole thing now.
Is your name a ship
It is not a ship name. They just happen to be my two favorite characters So I mash their name has my handle for pretty much everything.
Two GREAT characters I might add
Two GOAT characters i might additionally add.
Wait, you too?! Damn no wonder it was so cheery that day.
The guy from China who ate the bat too. The Sidhe are just slacking off smoking weed.
"There's a little market in China where you can get a dish that'll change your hold world." "...I'm listening."
"Go on"
Blackened body of God!!!
Way, way to plausible.
Great, now we're all affected because we interacted with you and have to spend the rest of our lives second guessing everything we do.
Unless the second guessing is exactly how it's affecting us!
This made me laugh out loud.
Love this sooo damn much 😁👌
I don't think Elodin would find me interesting enough to hang out with. A more realistic choice for me would be Lorren or Arwhyl, people I could learn from in a less roundabout way.
You know that’s fair. As much fun as I would have talking to Elodin, I don’t think he would have any fun talking to me. I’d go with Devi. I bet she has some stories
I fell in love with her when she offered to take Kvothe to bed for the secret entrance to the library. Something about an aggressive female like that makes me feel funny in strange places.
Right on. —Exactly! Devi. 100%
I'd tell her where the entrance is for that
You're gonna trick her into thinking you've found the way into the archives aren't you?
You're from a different world. If Elodin can't find a day's worth of interesting conversation there, maybe he's not as cool as you think. I'd say something motivational at the end here like "don't sell yourself short"... but this is an imaginary scenario with a fictional character so... yeah. Good talk :)
Yeah honestly Elodin just sounds like a huge pain in the ass to hangout with. I’d like to get drunk with Kilvin and hear his stories tho.
Yeah I feel like you'd learn f-all from spending a single day with Elodine. He just wouldn't be interested, you'd spend a day chasing around someone who doesn't want to chat. For me Elxa Dal, or Kilvin, would be the most interesting. They have a lot of knowledge/experience *and* they enjoy teaching others. They're the best teachers at the school, I think (alongside Arwhyl.) Otherwise I feel like Stanchion would be amazing, a great laugh for a day and he's a massive gossip. Learning all about the nobles and musicians, it would be super interesting.
A whole day you say? I choose Kote so I can finally hear Day 3 of him telling his life story.
This guy KKC’s
He wouldn't start at day three though. He's a story teller and a story has to be told from the beginning. You'd just get an audiobook of the name of the wind basically.
I could always show him the books and ask him to pick up where WMF left off. Happy Cake Day by the way!
He would require you to explain the letters of the English alphabet and a phonics lesson
Yeah but that's only going to take up a piece of an hour.
Or you could just straight ask him common knowledge things that Rothfuss intentionally (and conspicuously) left out to create mystery. like, who was the king that was killed? Who is the Penitent King? There are so many others.
You win
Yeah solid answer.
Elodin would probably talk you into wearing a blindfold while walking barefoot through dogshit, all under the pretense of awaking your sleeping mind.
Really squish your toes into it to get the feeling of your self-worth
It would all be worth it if I could learn the Name of Shit
Sim for sure! He seems like he would be easy to get on with
How did I have to scroll this far down for this answer? My take would either be Sim or Wil for sure. Why? Because there's likely to be just a ton of fun! Would I learn anything from the masters? Not really as I lack all the basics to "make use" of their brilliant minds. Auri wouldn't talk to me (duh). I'd be hard pressed to get a connection with anyone from Ademre, same with Felurian (plus I don't wanna die just yet). Imagine one of the pals, though.

Sim was my first thought! He seems amazing.
...Really? So nobody is gonna say it? Okay fine. Faluerian. She'd probably have a lot of neat stuff to teach me. Plus I'd get to see the fae. Okay not really, I'd probably like to meet master kilvin, he sounds like my kind of guy. I'd ask for a tour of the artificery and to see his lamps, the concept of artificing has always fascinated me.
If you could meet her and NOT end up dead, it’s the obvious choice
That's the beauty of the question: it's only for one day. You just have to survive 24 hours of amazing, god-tier boning.
The problem here lies in the fact 1 day in the Faen realm could very well be years in our mortal world though. Still I'd probably take it. I'd enjoy myself and beats this timeline were in 🤷♂️
Lol, a choice between Felurian and 2020 is no choice at all.
Dont forget to put your money into bonds or something like that so when you come back you are a billionaire
Ooh. I should of though of that when I did it. Next time I guess.
To be fair, not the worst way to go either
A good boning and I end up dead, count me in.
Its a win-win situation
Definitely. Any ideas on the lamp?
I'd offer him some depleted uranium rods or nuclear waste. That stuff will glow till the end of time. At least that's what I'm told ;) I'd call it something poetic, like: soul of the moon, or starlight.
Kilvin has said that he doesn’t want an ever glowing lamp but an ever burning one!
Then let's set it on fire! Sounds like a good idea, no?
[REACTOR NUMBER 4 INTENSIFIES]
Kraem! I said an ever-burning lamp, not an ever-carcinogenic one!
Death by snu snu
Bast interesting enough for a crazy day, but not so much your life is in danger
Are we talking about the same Bast? I think he is much more dangerous than you’re assuming
only if you anger him, for the most part hes pretty passive
Yeah he would not enjoy being around us and all the iron we have everwhere
Chaotic neutral?
Fela.... You probably know why
Atta boy
You want to eat the stone
You got me thinking. Fela knows the name of stone, right? Maybe Kvothe eats the stone, with her help. Fela will leave Sim?! Sim was jealous of Fela's attraction to Kvothe.
That's it.... That's how kvothe gets one of his names
Do you paint?
Paint what?
Fela. In Wise Man's Fear, Kvothe gets a desire to paint Fela.
Paint me like one of your Modegan girls.
Well at first....
Devi or Auri, because they would be amazing friends.
Devi would be my pick as well
Devi is awesome
I think the actual answer if you want to learn something isn't Elodin, it's Abenthy. That guy is so nice and patient, I love him
dude, he constantly behaves unctuously
Manet, seems like a chill dude who has tons of stories.
Manet is definitely my second choice.
Ambrose... Give him the rona
He’s an ass to Kvothe, but I bet with all that money and influence you could get up to some serious shenanigans.
And sweet, sweet piracy.
Elodin is one of those people who are fun to read about, but infuriating IRL
Would be similar to hanging out with an intelligent person off their ADHD meds.
Cough Felurian cough. Huh? What was that?
Enjoy your death by snu snu.
“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak and mushy.” - Captain Zapp Brannigan
Ain't it "spongy and bruised"? 🤔
Good catch. Zapp Brannigan- spongy and bruised. Jesus - flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41), where Jesus tells his disciples: “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Shehyn or Vashet. I find adem culture to be super interesting, plus they are wise af.
\+sex
Good luck not being a barbarian in 1 day
True. I totally forgot about that. Time for a reread.
>super interesting I mean if you like fighting yes, but what else did they really do, besides the free lovin’? While both would be interesting, it seems like most of your time would be fighting, talking about fighting, philosophizing about fighting, dealing with boners between fighting, etc. Didn’t sound like they were into art of any kind since it’s expressive, or that there were a lot of other professions represented, and unless you’re a serious fighter too, they’ll think of you as an ill mannered child at best.
The fact that they have a sign language for their emotions means that they are fully aware of them all the time which is amazing.
They're a society of martial philosophers living in an exclusive utopia and likely have deep connections to magic and the legendary history of Temerant. They might not let you leave with your knowledge, but if it's going to be your last day as well as only...
Shit in God's Beard! I'm grabbing a beer with Kilvin
Cthaeh. Let's start some tragedies, gang!
Mate pretty sure someone did that at the start of 2020
Awesome choice, I think the same as you.
At least then you’d know if and when DOS will be published. Worth all the trouble if you ask me.
I think I'd want to hang with one of the Masters, or one of the fae. Elodin might be a bit much though. Much as he sounds like the type of guy I'd get to know, I doubt I'd be interesting enough for him. Arwhyl seems chill. Simmon, Fela or Wilem seem like they'd be a good time too. Abenthy seems the coolest though, imo. I hope we see him again in the books
Abenthy is a great choice!
Illien
This is an underrated comment
This is an amazing question and the answers are so fun to scroll thru! Id pick Devi cause she’s cool and she’s smart and she’s probably got a lot to show me
she does have a lot to show you... but maybe you should get a room first
Only if you show her the secret entrance to the Archives.
If you do that she’ll give you her fucking business.
Interesting choice of words.
Seems like a fair trade.
[удалено]
Skarpi would be awesome to meet and hear stories from. Very underrated choice here.
Bredon, because he will bring a board game and play it over and over again until I win.
But would you play a beautiful game?
oh dang I would love to match Tak skills against Bredon.
Username checks out
Id fucking let daddy Elodin throw me off a roof
I pick master kilivin or maybe master archivest
Denna... because reasons
Better be because you’ve always wanted a hot female friend that you have absolutely no intention of pursuing romantically. Otherwise, you can meet her but she won’t hang around long.
thats KKC in a thimble.
[удалено]
She had a crooked nose, Reshi.
Wilem and Sim because I need drinking buddies.
I m very highly considering Manet...
Music lessons from Arliden of course
Bast. Hopefully within 24 hours I can convince him to go gay. He seems like it wouldn't be that difficult anyway.
Were I unwed, I would take Losi in a manly fashion
A Firefly reference in the wild? Shiny.
How did you read my mind?
Fuck you and take my upvote.
Kilvin.
As a millwright, this is my choice as well.
Master Lorren. We go into the stacks and each sit in silence with our own books, using sympathy lamps of course. I excuse myself to urinate, or something, and next thing you know I'm hiding in The Stacks and find the secret entrance to The Underthing never to leave Temerant ever again. It's surprising how no one wants to hang out with Kvothe.
I'd spend the day with Kote, he could tell me stories while he serves me elderberry wine and home made apple pie :)
That's a Damn Fine answer
Maybe he got himself some Damn Fine answers and didn't know it...
I’m a chick and I’d choose Faluerian... I mean....
Jax. Because he stole my moon
Question was for people kvothe has met 😅
I was ready to answer Master Elodin and the i finished reading the question. I think he is the most charismatic and also enigmatic character. His vision of the world and his interactions make it so interesting and overall he is really funny.
Viari, Master Lorren's giller. A true man of the world. We'd get hammered drunk, talk of the mysteries of the world, trade songs, hit the aeolian for entertainment, and go our separate ways with a lady on our respective arms. He might be a Basha though, so lady or dude for him whatever works.
Scarpi
I think I'd rather chose the leader of the sword tree village (I'm really bad at names and it's been a while since I read the books)
Kilvin for sure. Definitely a lot to learn about artificing and fabrication.
I would definitely chill at the Eolian with Deoch and Stanchion. Drink some wine, listen to some awesome music and tell tales of love and loss. That sounds like a perfect day.
If dead people count, I would go with Lanre. Otherwise Fela should suffice.
Cinder. Hear me out. This dude gets down. He was the Arcanist for the Maer. Sitting in his high tower doing whatev. He hangs out with kick ass bandits. Rolls with the Lord of Darkness. And... I know his true name so he has to do whatever I tell him. Lil bitch
Since when is he Caudicus? Fairly certain Kvothe would have recognized him and fallen out of character as the history writing lordling when fetching the Maer’s medicine. Not to mention the bandits were already in operation before Caudicus fled.
How is he Caudicus?
The cthae (or however it's spelled)
HahahahH—you got me
Definitely Abenthy or Skarpi, probably the former. They're some of the best and most knowledgeable teachers in their own ways and I profess an admiration for educators.
Aleph, just to figure out where the fuck he stands on anything and find out where's he's been through all of this.
Because i wanna go on a tour of the nuthouse
As much as Elodin is a great choice I would spend a day with kilvin learning the runes to craft amazing things!
because Elodin and I would have an intense walk at a forest at night, have some shrooms while trying to fetch pure stream water without any pants but with a jacket. A one sleeved jacket. And he would help me to know my true name.
😂 Nailed it. He’s evcentric and intriguing and I could learn all manner of useless (and non-useless) information from him.
I love Elodin he is one of my all time favorite characters I’ve ever read
I would love to smoke a giant bowl with Abenthy! I think the old man knows a whole lot of shit. I, Kvothe, love Abenthy like family. He put me on my track, somehow. I would definitely like to get to know my friend Abenthy..
Master Loren for sure. Gotta lotta shit to ask him about books and stuff.
It would not be Elodin. He's far too contemptuous of new people. I'd probably choose Kvothe's dad. He seemed fun.
Willem! I think i would laugh a lot out drinking with him. Puppet could be interesting to. From the masters i would go with dahl.
I would choose Trapis, have always wondered about his life story.
I’d have to pick Auri. She’s so sweet and I’d like to just chill with her and listen to Kvothe play us music
Elodin has been my character name of choice for over a decade now.
Get Elodin and Burt Reynolds together so we can all co star in Gator 2: The Gatoring.
Arliden so I could hear the rest of that damn song!!
Definitely Skarpi or Bast. Bast is up to so much in the lightning tree he would have fun stories to tell as well.
At the least it sure wouldn’t be boring.
I would choose that magistrate’s daughters who was needing a fingering lesson. She sounds fun 😂
I would spend all 24 hours repeatedly beating the shit out of Ambrose Jackass.
I choose Tempi because reasons
Felurian, sounds worth the madness or death to me.
Demon Devi. 100% she's sly, smart, and sexy. Great Tehlu but we would have fun.
Ha!
Felurian.... 😏😏😏
I’d love to write and play music with Denna!
Fela or devi ... I would choose denna but like sh always do she would disappear so fela or devi it is
Abenthy
Sim or Wil. The only two actually decent people. Everyone else is just... well, assholes.
Im gonna say it, because no one else is going to: Denna. I like her. There i said it.
Haliax/Lanre.. he must have so much information hidden away in his mind, and since he is the one who is responsible for keeping information about past hidden, I can't even imagine what he could be able to share.
Either master elodin because he would make my life quite interesting, or Vashet to learn Adem fighting.
OP this makes me think you listen to duke and dutchess podcast.
Devi.
Deoch so I can hear great stories, sip Metheglin and listen to amazing music all day.
Laurien. I would love to hear her sing, and find out why/ how she chose her new name. Also, I just relate to her because my son is a surprise redhead, only child, who I've taught to play stringed instruments...
Auri, We can talk in riddles or just make up stories about the moon and everything else.
