Interview with a Character

[Pages]

*A few changes have been made. My character is going to be looking back on her life, so she is still 'young' and doesn't yet know her last name, but she is now a queen.*

Why are you always so angry? Have you tried therapy? Do you like soup? Do you like to swim? How many cousins do you have? How many aunts and uncles? What gives your life purpose?

+~+~+

I've no clue as to why I'm not allowed to know my last name. Last names have nothing to do with the last name of your parent though. It has everything to do with your position in life and what you do, your moods, your hobbies, ect.

I cook, clean, wash clothing and dishes, sing (if a little off tune), hum, dance, paint, take walks, eat, dust, read, and climb trees all on a daily basis.

My parents are Mr. and Mrs. Fffrr (which is Trollian for Stubborn) they've been married for one thousand years this upcoming fall.

Yes, most trolls are lighter then me, and can be any color.

 

[NeoScribe]

Why are your parents 'Stubborn'? What was your mother's original last name before she married? Who gives out last names? How old were you back then? What was your job, housemaid? What other colors or Troll are there? Do they live seperatly or in one nation? Do you have contact with non-Trolls?

*******

I don't know why I'm so angry, I just am. I do know that I can't stand stupidity, long waits, weakness, frailty, arrogance, know-it-allls, water, loud noises, defeat, and non-humans (Two years of traveling with elves, a dwarf, and a mermaid have lessened that though, so has being betrayed by humans I counted on).

Lord Jonas gave me counseling when we were still a group.

I like soup. (refuses to answer swimming question)

I have two cousins, my father's only brother's children are Lucil and Rapheal. They are older than me and capable war leaders. Since the end of the war they are the only family me and my brother have.

Originally my life was fufilled by loyally serving my people and killing dwarves (and fenrir, and goblins, and centaur!). My father drilled this into my head as a child and it was only strengthened as I saw the land around me and the events that took place. But this is nolonger the case, as my purpose now is to rebuild my war-torn nation and ensure peace reigns on the planet, if I have to fight to keep that peace - well, I won't complain.

 

[Pages]

Just angry? I've been told that there is always a 'root' problem, and that being angry, sad, happy, are just 'symptoms'. Does it snow every year? Does it snow where you live? Are there monasteries? Are there artists? Do importaint people have their portrait taken?

+~+~+

My parents are Stubborn because they refuse to give 50% of their Fog to the government. Or did, the law has been abolished.

My mother's maiden name was feather, because she is smaller then most trolls.

The village elders give out last names.

How old was I when?

Housemaid? No, I lived alone in my own home. Those are just the things that go into keeping a house clean. Housemaid indeed.

Trolls can be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, indigo, pink, light red, light orange, light yellow, light green, light blue, light violet, light indigo, light pink, bluishorange, greenishpink, redishindigo.... any color.

Tolls live all over the earth. They don't really 'have' a set kingdom. It's more like tribes under the earth in the kingdoms of faries, people, elves, ect.

Yes, at least I have lots of contact with other races. I lived above the ground, so I was used to them. It will take time for the rest of the Trolls to become comfortable with them.

 

[NeoScribe]

What are your important holidays? Do you know how to read? What is the currency? Where on the planet do you live exactly? How far are you technology-wise? Do Trolls live in seperation from the land they inhabit or do you participate in the government as well?

Fog? Wha-?

*******

... about 10 years ago, when I was 12 I think, My little sister Laura went to the town of Southel. Southel is to the far south and borders Midwen and Drentec. The two kingdoms had just reached a cease-fire that would halt all fighting until a treaty could be agreed upon. But the war had been hard and many of my people were lost. The loss of workers along with an early and extremely harsh winter (which was thus far only one of the few case of snow in Midwen) made living in that area extremly difficult and Southel was hit the hardest. Unfortunetly at the time Southel was behind dwarf lines - we couldn't go to help and the dwarves sure as heck weren't going to do anything about it. My sister would not except that. She was young, only 10 at the time, but she was very dedicated to the people, who adored her in turn. Despite my father and brother's objections she organized a caravan of food and supplies for the town. She offered me a chance to come along, to see the people and encourage them. I refused, I was more interested in seeing the front lines and figuring out if I could fight. She went with only a handful of bodyguards and soldiers... We didn't know the dwarves had an outpost near Southel. It was not 'il later that we found that the dwarves (drunk that night) had mistook the caravan for an enemy force despite the flag of truce waving atop. Thay waited until Laura had led the supplies into the village and then they attacked. No survivors. When we found out me and my family raced to the village and found mutilated bodies everywhere. Needless to say the cease-fire broke down after that and the war continued for 5 more years. I guess that day changed me, I felt crushed and responsible for her death. I vowed to carry on her legacy and have vengence on those who took an innocent child from me. Help my people, kill dwarves. My reasoning was simple after that. for the next 9 years anyway.

 

[Pages]

Wow. That's sad. I don't know what else to say. Poor thing.

+~+~+

When was your sister born? What happened after nine years? Do you like ice cream? Is there such a thing as divorce on Gaea? Why is your world called Gaea? What does it mean?

+~+~+

Fog. The stuff that is in the air most days before dawn. In the Prim Forest where I live, and where most Garden Loam Trolls live, the Fog is so thick that it can be rolled into bails of a sort and stored. It is used in cooking usually and in fabric. It also makes even the most bumpy bed soft as feathers. You should try it sometime.

Our importaint holidays are the King and Queens birthday's, the first day of Summer, the first day of Spring, the first day of harvest, and the first snowfall. There also is the Week of Nonsensical Joy, and the Notwithstanding Any Hardship day of celebration.

Do I know how to read? If I can't read, then how, pray, do I know how to write?

The currency is jewels, silver, gold, and fog. Though much of the time you trade things.

I live in the Kingdom of Error which is kind of north but kind of south. Don't ask me much geography questions, I failed that class in Troll school.

Not far in technology as I've no clue what that is.

We participate in the government.

 

[NeoScribe]

Like you said, someone could be typing for you .
How is fog used in food? A Main dish, a side dish, or a topping? What else do you eat? Why do you celebrate the first snow if you live underground? Why do you live underground anyway? Why is the kingdom named Error? Whats your stance on the fruits vs vegtables debate?

*******

My sister was born about 21 years ago... I think it was Ianarius 19, 2311 I.E.

The last two years of those nine years were the days of the War and the time I spent with the two Avilar. So much happened in those years. We allied with the dwarves and other antagonistic kingdoms to counter the Unity Empire. I was forced to work personly with one dwarf, Auhsed, on my duties as an Isacar. I saw the world. I saw non-humans with the same ideals as my sister. I saw humans who sunk lower than garbage. I saw atrocities that made me almost cry. I saw the Avilar desperatly trying to keep people from killing each other. I felt the sting of betrayal from Lady Skye and my father. I killed my own kin... It had an effect.

Ice cream? Divorce?

I'm no sorcerer, I don't know any names and past things. Lord Jonas said it was greek on his world - whatever that is.

 

[Pages]

Ice cream is like snow, but smoother, and it is sweet. It comes in flavors like chocolate and strawberry, and peacon, mint chocolate chip. The list goes on and on.
Divorce is when two married people decide they don't want to be married anymore. So, they sign papers that say they're not married. Even if they have children.
Would you mind asking Lord Jonas next time you meet what Gaea means in Greek?

Have you heard of a hair dryer? Do you have flour mills? What type of food do you have? What exactly does an Isacar do? What is an Isacar anyway? What is one thing if I were to come to Gaea that I could not help but see no matter what? What is your main way of transportation?

+~+~+

True, I could be dictating all this.

Fog is used in food but making it
a. smoother
b. thicker
c. thinner
It all depends on how and when you add it, and what type of Fog you're using.

We eat roots, herbs, plants, vegetables, fruits, nuts, leaves, though I guess they count as plants.

We celebrate the first snow even though we live underground because it means a time of relaxation and peace. There is no more going up into the outside world to gather Fog or berries, or nuts. Everyone gets to slow down and take time for things they don't usually have time to do.

We Trolls have lived underground ever since the humans moved into our land. They didn't much like the sight of little ugly creatures running all over the place, so they said be gone, or die. We chose the be gone. We knew we had no chance whatsoever in a war against them. We are now on good terms with the humans though. Us and all other magical creatures. I have to say though, it wasn't easy. Those humans can be very stubborn.

Why is the Kingdom named Error? You'll have to ask Their Majesties that one. I'm clueless.

On the fruits and vegetables, it depends on what subject of them. Which is healthier? Are they the same? Is a cucomber a vegetable or a fruit?

 

[NeoScribe]

There are different kinds of fog? What other magical creatures are there? What is used to define a magical creature? When did the humans come, why did they come? All three on the fruits vs. vegetables and also which one you prefer.

*******

Hair Dryer? I think Lady Skye mentioned that once. Our mills are located in the north, mostly in the city of Eastoth.

We have the type of food that you eat.

The Isacar were a legendary group of elf warriors who were renowned for their battle prowness and conflicting personalities - which turned out to be their greatest strength. Lehen compared us to them and the two Avilar thought it was a fitting title for our little band of bodyguards. The name stuck and people began knowing us as the Avilar and their Isacar.

The Shining Sea in Madina Continent down south. See it at night and you can tell why it got its name.

Horse is preferable but I don't mind walking. I don't trust any of the transportation spells.

 

[Mewtwo]

If we could have two interviews at once I need one please!

 

[Pages]

Do you like wine? Do you like water? If you eat the type of food I do, why didn't you know what pizza was? Or ice cream? Are there poets on Gaea? I looked up Gaea, can't find it. Of course I used google, so that might have something to do with it. Perhaps you could write to Lord Jonas? Are there scribes on Gaea? Do you have pencils? Or pens? What kind of pens if so? And what kind of pencils? Do you have plastic? Do you have long hair? What color are your eyes? What do you look like?

+~+~+

Of course there are different kinds of Fogs. There is thick fog, thin fog, smokey fog, damp fog, clear thick damp fog, clear thin damp fog, damp smokey thick fog, damp smokey thin fog, dry fog, foggy fog, (which is the best kind of fog because it is so so so thick that you can knit with it) and that's just about it. There might a few other types of fog, but I can't think of them at the moment.

There are your usual magical creatures: Faries, elves, mushroom men (and women), merrfolk, Snerk Squirrels, which are blue and can speak in twelve different languages. The only problem is, the languages are still unknown to anyone else but the Snerk Squirrels. Fawns (my best friend is a fawn, her name is Freta. Lovely race, though usually very scatterbrained. I'm lucky that I chanced upon one who can actually pay attention to what someone is saying for more then five seconds. Oh, and they are all very vain. This trait did not however, escape her.) And then there are the Feathyry Burds (spelling all their own, they call themselves the scolars of the forest.) They strut and fly around telling everybody what to do. We wish they were like the squirrels, speaking only their own language. There are several other beasts who talk, though they are kind and don't tend to stick out.

A magical creature is definded by being anything out of the ordinary really. They don't have to weild wands or something. Well, really out of the ordinary. A untalking squirrel with a bad hair day does not quallify as magical.

The humans came a long time ago, way before even my mum and dad were born. I think even before their parents were born.

I don't know why they came, though I know why they stayed. It was because no one stopped them or told them to leave. But I am okay with that, since we're only friendly terms. At the moment.

Hmmm, I'd have to say I think that vegetables are way better then fruit in everything. Taste, nutrition, quality. And there is no WAY they are the same. Fruits are sticky and icky, and vegetables are just plain nice. As for the cucumbers, so a vegetable. What do you think?

 

[Pages]

If we could have two interviews at once I need one please!

I don't understand what you mean.

 

[NeoScribe]

Pages, how many stories are you working on?

*******

I take it you like fog a lot. What do mushroom men and Snerk Squirrels (other than being blue) and Feathyry Burds look like look like? What qualifies as unordianry? Do you know any humans? How did you meet Freta? What is she like? Do you know any vegetarians?

*******

I drink both wine and water and could give any dwarf or centaur a run for his silver. I did not mean you as in You, but as in everybody on Gaea. Speaking of which, Lord Jonas has contacted me and told me that Gaea was the Greek (an ancient dead people) Mother Earth Goddess. Coincidently, the largest moon, Cronis, also has a greek meaning, it was also the name of one of Gaea's children.

Of course their are scribes on Gaea, how could I have someone write this all down if there wasn't, you can't be relient on wizards all the time. Pens are mainly bird feathers dipped in ink.

My hair is about almost half-way down my back. It used to be down to my waist but we had to cut it shorter as part of a disguise to get through Unity Territory - that was one of the few times I threatened Lord Jonas with extreme bodily harm but he only escaped with a bruise on his cheek. My eyes are light brown - hazel. I'm of medium height and well built but more lean than muscular.

 

[NeoScribe]

I don't understand what you mean.

I think he wants us to ask him quetions too. All he needs to do is introduce a character and some questions for both of us and we can do this three-ways.

Thank you, I can be dull sometimes.

+~+~+

Umm, lets see. I'm working on four kind of five right now. Why? Did I mess up about something in my last post?

+~+~+

Please thank Lord Jonas for me, Greek mythology has never been a deep interest for me. And how was I supposed to know that you weren't holding a knife to someone's throat and telling them to write/type for you? What kind of questions do you want to be asked? Were you ever incharge of more then twenty creatures for some sort of military mission? Did you ever have as many as twenty? What is your best memory? Have you ever gone down a slide? Is there a New Years celebration on Gaea?

+~+~+

Mushroom men are little tiny tan, red, green, blue, or purple people with mushroom heads and spots. They usually dress in browns, dark greens, and blacks, trying to camouflage themselves against an unknown predator that probably doesn't even exist. At least I've never ran into it.

The Snerk Squirrels are just like any other squirrel in appearance except their color. The similarities sort of stop there. They can, of course, talk (in their own way) and there is one member on the Magical Creatures Council (MCC). Not that it is much good, but they're happy and a part of our world. They wear absurd clothing that they have found and pilfered from humans. Large belts, earings, vests that drag on the ground.

And the Feathyry Burds are small with HUGE head feathers in all different colors. They frequently dye the feathers different colors other then their natural look. There is also a Feathyry Burd on the MCC, and at least he can talk to us. He claims to understand the squirrel, but we doubt it.

Unordinary. Hmm. An animal talking, a flower walking, um, I guess showing signs of intelligent life, or a horse being green. Is that a good explanation?

Yes, I know their Majesties King Fredrick, and Queen Daffiny. They are very kind and gracious.

I met Freta one day in the wood fifty- three years ago when on my walk. I said hi, and she followed me home, chatting all the while about what a treasure a good friend is. There hasn't been one day since that I haven't seen her.

Freta is kind of hard to describe. Her personality is so complex. She has a problem with rememberig some things, and nothing ever gets her spirits down.

Of course I know vegetarians. ALL magical creatures are vegetarians. Well, all good magical creatures.

 

[NeoScribe]

No, you didn't mess up. I was just curious.

*******

Are Mushroom Men excessively paranoid? Are there any on the MCC? What does the MCC do? What are the major events that have occured recently? What do you and Freta like to do?? Does she ever forget your name? Why are all MC's vegetarians?Are there Bad Magical creatures?

*******

I'm a princess and the war is over, I haven't held a blade to a persons throat in a long time now. And Lord Jonas used to be a scholar himself so naturaly he knows plenty of information.

I'll answer any question except 'Whats your favorite ____?' and 'Is anybody stronger than you?'

I've commanded more than 20 men many times. Before I was with the Avilar and at the Battle of Castel.

Best memory...

I slide down a muddy slop once, landed on Lord Jonas. Sennal landed on me. I also went down a waterfall but that wasn't on purpose.

We have a celebration for the New Year that signifies the begining of a new era. Actually that is the literal description, we only started celebrating New years this year.

 

[Mewtwo]

My character is named Hadilet. Ask away!


Pages, what is your character's name? What world does it take place in?

 

[NeoScribe]

Hi Hadilet. Who are you? What is your job? When were you born? Where are you from?

 

[Mewtwo]

I am a 7-year-old boy who was pretty normal, but then I went home one day and everything changed.I have no occupation. I was born a a small town of Eran. I was born in the year 1158.

 

[NeoScribe]

Authors Note: Do to some revisions in the story, Cecilia will be unavailable for questioning. Until I think of someone new to be interviewed do not ask me any questions.

*******

Hadilet, what country were you born in? Who are your parents and who is the rest of your family? What does your family do? What changed when you went home one day?

 

[NeoScribe]

Wow, that was fast. New character: Lady Avilar Skye Alveres Hexra, the Star Goddess. Like with Jonas, Lady Avilar and Star Goddes are titles, Hexra is her rank, the rest is her actual name.
