Interview with a Character

[Mewtwo]

Answer: I was born in the World(this is a book that takes place in another world) of Gafohet. I live with my Uncle, my only living relative. When I went home I touched a book titled The Alternate Worlds and I appeared in a Black Room that was compressing my body.

Question: Where does she live? Where was she born, and how old is she?

 

[NeoScribe]

Why did you touch the book? Where did it come from? Compressing - as in it was closing in on you or you felt it was compressing? What happened to your parents?

*******

I don't really live anywhere. Our people hop from one place to another to avoid the NAF forces. Right now we're at an outpost on Maccobe Dos, the smaller quater of the Maccobe contintent.

I was born in Disnea City in California, Earth - Pact Federation and I am 19 years old.

 

[Mewtwo]

What is the NAF.....and where is Maccobe?

 

[NeoScribe]

The Nations Alliance Federation is the international organization founded by my brother and his allies. It is the peacetime successor to the Gaean Alliance - the coalition force that fought against us in the War. It's their job to maintain peace amongst the kingdoms (with questionable success) and to hunt us down.

Maccobe is located in the eastern hemisphere along the equator. It is the 3rd largest continent and shaped like a bulky crescent moon with a chunk of land in the center.

 

[NeoScribe]

Hi, Pages! I see you there! Where have you been? I joined your RPG, hope you don't mind!

Excessively isn't a strong enough word to describe the average Mushroom Man's paranoia. They run and hide from the sound of their own feet, they will set up a new trap every day at the entrace of their doors (and usually catch themselves) they never eat anything without feeding it to their 'tasting' bird. They bathe five times a day at least to get rid of any germs, when they can't avoid being around other creatures, they were scarves over their faces so they don't catch germs. The list goes on and on and on.

Yes, there is a Mushroom Man on the MCC.

The MCC is the group that meets with the rulers of the land that they live in. So, our MCC group meets with the King and Queen of Error and discusses things. Like no extra tax on us, no enslavement, same rights as Un magical creatures (UMC) but we don't want to be treated special either, just because we're different from the dominant species.

Major events of late, hmm, there are quite a few. I shall list them in sequential order.

The Troll SAC staged a coup and gained controle
Then the Toll SAC's SAC staged a coup and replaced the rightful ruler
And now everyone is either living happily ever after, or rotting in jail guarded by Mushroom Men who are the best of guards.

Freta and I like to do many things. We walk, talk, read, sing, dance, eat, clean (used to anyway) together.

No, Freta has never forgotten my name.

All MCs are vegetarians because we're creatures ourselves, so it's like being a cannible. Eww.

Of course there are BMCs, no story is complete without them.



+~+~+

Mewtwo, my characters name is Zaph at the moment. The story takes place in the Land of Fairy Tales.

+~+~+

Lady Skye
What do you look like? I thought you had died. Do you like Cecilia? Do you like living on Gaea?

+~+~+

Hadilet
What does your name mean? Do you speak english? Have you had pizza?

 

[NeoScribe]

Zaph, do you know any Mushroom Men personally? What is the Troll SAC. Why did the SAC's SAC overthrow the first SAC? Why did the first SAC... You know what, I'll ask that question later. I'm confusing myself with all the SAC's. So the MCC is like a human Congess or Diet? Have you ever had an encounter with a BMC? What are the relationships between MC and humans? What race are the King and Queen?

*******

I am of smaller than average height (haven't exactly measured myself in a while, I was 4"6 when I was fifteen.) with blonde hair up to my shoulders and green eyes. I have a blue gem thing in the middle of my forehead. My right arm is a mechanicle replacement since the original was lost when I crashed on this planet. It is filled with many useful gadgets and I like to upgrade it alot. It's also my primary weapon.

I'm not dead - obviously. My brother seems to wish I was though.

Cecilia was never my favorite bodyguard. All she was was senseless violence and killing. Lives were always lost when she suggested anything and she didn't even care. She lived for war and she sometimes scared me.

I miss my home world very much. I t was so peaceful and joyful... But thats all in the past now. I'm here and there is nothing I can do about it. And I feel I have been called to a greater purpose. I have a mission to accomplish and many people relying on me as a leader and as a person. So I guess my answer would be that I like Gaea, its given me meaning and I wouldn't trade it for all the planets in the Pact Federation!

 

[Pages]

Hi, Pages! I see you there! Where have you been? I joined your RPG, hope you don't mind!

I've been doing school, getting ready for epiphany, and taking care of a plastic doll that cries. A weekend has never seemed so long, and for once I'm exhilarated at the thought of going to school. And thank you for joining the rpg, I hope it works out.

 

[NeoScribe]

Ha! You took the doll! Hahahahahaha!

I am not at all thrilled to go to school.

 

[Pages]

Yes, I know one Mushroom Man quite well. His name is Ffiirriimm. He is the elected Mushroom Man for the MCC.


The Troll SAC is the Troll Secret Agent Committee. They're not all that secret. You always know a member because they try to act inconspicuous, but it make them stand out like a sore thumb. Most amusing to watch them walzing around a market place whistling of humming, pretending to be doing nothing particular but casting 'sly' glances your or someone else's way. There were though, apparently, some who actually had more then air inside of their heads, which resulted in the coup.

The SAC'a SAC is the SAC's Secret Agent Committee. These members are even more scatterbrained because they walk around in dark cloaks 'blending' into the shadows on bright days. They to showed some surprising resourcefulness and brains. Their ways though have not changed, and pose little threat since they are loyal to me. All the same, there are a few people who watch over them.

Congress? Diet?

I was almost eaten by an BMC. The amusing thing about the encounter is that the BMC was this sweet, tiny little spider that if I had breathed hard enough would have flown away. It invited me over for a cup of Sero. The Sero was drugged, and I woke up over a roasting fire. Freta rescued me, and then severly lectured me about speaking to strangers, much less going anywhere with them.

At the moment, the relationship is very good with the present King and Queen of Error. In the past there have been attempts to rid the earth of us, and such things. There are still some humans though that freak out at the sight of me, or a Snerk Squirrel, or something like that.

The King and Queen are Humans.
+~+~+
Lady Skye, are you good or bad? Aren't Hexra's bad? Why would your brother want you dead?

 

[NeoScribe]

What does Ffiirriimm usually contribute to the Council? Whats your rank in the Troll SAC? Do you guys get free lunch at some resturants? Would you consider yourelf smarter then most of your peers? How did Freta know where you were when the BMC tried to eat you. How did the spider get you over a fire anyway. What's Sero?

A Congress or Diet or whatever everybody else calls theirs' is a council of people who discuss new laws ans stuff like that.

*******

It would depend on who's side you were on to see me as good or bad. Ask anybody in the Empire (POW's and recently conquered people excluded) and you would find that I was very well thought of (unlike say, Naxis). I did what I had to do to bring peace and stability for everyone on Gaea. Without our attempts to bring people in the fold they would only kill each other. In fact, they were doing it up til the moment we made our big push during the War.

A Hexra is not bad. Hexra is a social/military position within the Empire that translates as High Warlord. We have ultimate military and social power within all the Unity Empire, second only to the Emperor himself. There were 8 Hexra before I arrived and they generally stayed in seperate sections of the Empire to avoid rivelry issues. Although we all have equal rank, Notob seemed to be in charge.

My brother probably wishes I was dead so he wouldn't have to deal with me later on. I'm much stronger than he is and I now can handle my powers better too. He probably curses the day he decided to leave me to die.

 

[Pages]

Happy Birthday NeoScribe.
+~+~+
So Lady Skye, you were on the Emperor's side? Who is Notob? Have you mentioned him before and I've forgotten? I thought your brother loved you. And why would he leave you to die? Is that why you hate him? Do you hate him? Or are you going to do something bad to him because you love him, it's just a twisted way of showing it? Powers? Like the kind your brother has?
+~+~+
Ffiirriimm usually contributes especially good plans of evacuation and gurrilla warfare incase of an unexpected invasion by something evil. He is quite useless in anything else and has a keen desire to stab someone/thing with this tiny little sword he is always carrying. It is, by the way, made out of a willow whisp.

I am not a part of the Troll SAC.

Resturants?

Peers? Are those like pears?

Freta had to admit, after the BMC tried to eat me and she rescued me, that she had been shadowing me everywhere I went. Why? Because she felt like it and knew that one day it would pay off. Though rather upset at the thought of her spying on me without permission, I got over it within a few seconds since it had been a good thing. I've gotten used to Freta doing things like that now, so I'm not now surprised to have her checking the outhouses for mindreaders, or 'dusting' the air because there is dust in the air.

The BMC got me over the fire using it's web stuff. It's quite strong actually.

Sero is a very strong drink. Um, the King and Queen of Blumers (our forest goes into their kingdom a little, so we must also negotiate with them) drink something similar called coffee. Only coffee is black, while Sero is red, and coffee is sweeter and burns the throat. Sero is made also from a bean, but Fog is also mixed in with it creating a very smooth, but not slimy drink. It is to bitter for humans, but we MC's love it. Trolls are the most partial though, since it was first invented by one of my ancestors.

Yes, our council is rather like a Congress or Diet.

 

[NeoScribe]

Thanks, Pages!

*******

What's a willow whisp? Have you ever used any of the mushroom man's evacuation plans? What else does Freta do that annoys you but may come in handy some day? Which ancestor invented Sero? What is the Blumer Kingdom like? Have you ever tried coffee?

Resturant: a diner, a pub, an inn without the beds.

Peer: any random guy off the street around your age and with a similiar occupaton. ex. Freta.

*******

Authors Note: I guess I should have mentioned this before, but thanks to the severe trauma she expierenced prior to joining the Empire Skye's memories are not always accurate and some are outright fabrications used to ensure her loyalty. What she says may not be entirely true.

*******

Yeah, during the last quarter of the war I was on the Empire's side, I commanded the Maccobe Armies and the Tachna Divisions.

Notob was a fenrir (I think) with mechanicle limbs and a heart of stone. pretty much everybody thought he was evil and he inspired more fear in his troops than loyalty. But he also did the same to the other Hexra, which kept their clashing personalities in line. He was also a brilliant tactical commander, putting our enemies on the defensive for many years and inspiring fear in them by always being at the front lines, earning his title, the Death Claw. He died when he destroyed his own Mega Fortress trying to kill my brother.

I hate my brother. Both for his naive and ignorant views and for leaving me to die. He can say he loves me but its just a lie to get me back on his side. He's afraid of me 'cause he knows I'm stronger than he is now. He was always serving his own interest and this was not the first time he had tried to leave me behind. Jonas is not interested in helping Gaea, he just wants to use his superior knowledge to rule all.

My power's are different than Jonas's. Mine are more mind based, I'm telekinetic and can summon energy beams. My mind works three times faster than a normal humans and I can think of multiple subjects at once. I also have limited mind linking abilities.

+~+~+
Lady Skye, how did you loose your memory before you joined the Empire? Did the Emperor find you and help you? If he did find you, what did he tell you? Did you ever think that he might be lying? Is the Emperor laconic? Are you? Is he tall? Or is now a was? I imagine him tall, but sort of slumped or hunched over and wearing a long black cloak. (This image has been somewhat tainted by a different Emperor) Why did you join his side? Did you know he was bad?
+~+~+
A willow whisp is a whisp of willow. I don't know if you've ever seen a Willow Tree. Do they grow out there in the world? Anyway, there is only one Willow Tree in the whole Forest. So for anyone to have anything made out of willow whisps is a big deal. Most creatures only get one thing in their lifetime. But, a willow whisp is a very thin peice of leaf that has been sprinkled with water from the High Mountains and then let to rest in a jar of the thickest Fog for one Moon so it won't ever die out. We also do it with flowers. In fact, there was a man who came to our world not long ago and picked a flower. The whole tree grew in the place where we get our thickest fog, so it will never die. That was off subject, so I shall return. One willow whisp is very thin. And once is has been taken to our smiths and been turned into a sword, it is thinner yet. So, the sword that Ffiirriimm carries is hardly as thick as an 'i'.

There has been no need to use Ffiirriimm's evacuation plans as of yet.

My Great-great-great-great Grandfather invented Sero. I wonder if there wasn't another great in there...

I know nothing about the Blumer kingdom besides the fact that the humans there do not believe in MCs, and the King and Queen snub us often. It can be very trying on ones patience. It's no wonder I suppose though, when they drink coffee. Yes, I've had coffee and it is much to sweet and scratches the throat.

An inn without beds? So, the guests just sleep on the floor? Or aren't there any rooms either?

 

[Peace Eternal]

Hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions.

NeoScribe- I'm asuming that Lady Skye got her powers the same way that Lord Jonas did. Are her powers greater than his because of the Emeror's aid?

Pages- Do you know why the Mushroom men are so paranoid? What do the smiths do to the willow whisp when making it into a sword?

 

[NeoScribe]

A man came to your world? Are there different worlds out there? How do Blumers not believe in you, don't they see you? Who was this man? What good is a sword that thin - or is it just for show? How far can you trace you lineage?

Of course they don't sleep on the floor. They sleep in the kitchen when they can't pay their bills.

*******

I sorta had a nervous breakdown after... an incident that cost many people their lives. I went into shock for a while and much of the time between then and when I regained my awareness is a blur, this was about a week.

It wasn't the Emperor who found me. It was the Hexra Talon. He was looking for Notob, thinking he might have survived the collapse of the building but found me more or less insane after being trapped for 3 weeks. It was Talon who filled me in on the details of what happened and what few memories I have of that time and the word of others seems to support his story. In anycase my newly developed powers can tell me when someone is lying or not.

I don't know what laconic means, but it doesn't matter since I never saw the Emperor in his physical form. When I was inducted into the ranks I could only feel his presence around me since he couldn't manifest himself in the real world completly yet.

And yes, thanks to the aid given to me by the Empire I have much better skills in my powers that Jonas does.

 

[Pages]

Sorry for being gone so long, I found out about moving a few weeks ago, and life has been hectic ever since.
+~+~+
Lady Skye

Laconic means terse, doesn't speak much, and when speaks is short with people.

How could you trust someone you've never seen? How do you know what he says to be true? Why did you choose to trust him, and not the love of your brother?
+~+~+
I've no idea why the Mushroom men are so paranoid. Um, actually I might have known and forgotten.

The Smiths cover the leaf with bendable glass.

Yes, a man came to our world. You see, what you humans never understand is that in the land of Fairie there are many lands, many paths. Some lands are comic, some are serious, some are ugly, some beautiful, some harsh and filled with war, some so wonderful that words are not enough to describe them, and some are all in one. Each land plays a part in the big story, but each land has its own stories. Sometimes lands are destroyed, sometimes they last forever and sometimes in one story a land is destroyed, but is still alive in another story later on. Borders are blended sometimes, and peoples as well. Some of your borders are in our world, but very few humans find them. They call us 'supernatural' but really, they are. Many of them call us 'old wives tales' or 'legends' and such nonsense. They can't grasp it. Very few can. Once it is grasped, it stays, usually. There are, of course, many humans who concider themselves 'experts' on 'fairy' lore, but we laugh at them. What all this has to do with your question is coming. When a man comes to my world, he also comes every other fairy world. Yet he only plays a small part in one story, if he is lucky, maybe two or three. So this man who came, he has nothing to do with me, yet because he came, he has everything to do with me. And yes, a man came to our world.

How do Blumers not believe in us? Very simple. It is called the power of MC denial. A widespread disease among humans in our parts.

His name was Smith, as far as I know. He may have had another name in your world.

A sword that thin is just for show. We live, at the moment, in peace with most people and duels are rare. But they (the swords) are sturdy.

I can trace my lineage back four generations with confidence, twelve with a few mistakes and twenty with much guessing.

 

[deornie]

Wow that's a cool thread.... trying to figure out who i should ask questions...LOL

Will be back

 

[NeoScribe]

Hi, Pages! Been a while, Ida figured you moved to Tibet or something.

*****
Just ask both of us questions, Deornie! But add a character of yours too!

*******

Your lands... overlap each other? What stories are you in? What stories are you talking about for that matter?
I thought you just lived underground.

Who's the oldest relation you can trace back that you are absolutly sure of. Who's the oldest you are unsure of?

*******

Laconic = Terse. Got it.

I trusted the Emperor because I trust Talon, and Talon trusted the Emperor. If Jonas loved me he would not have left me to die. Apperently he loved Mililane more than me anyway.

 

[Pages]

Tibet might have been nicer...
+~+~+
Did you ever think that Talon and the Emperor might just have been telling you lies because you were so powerful, and could carry out their plans? Why didn't you try to find out the truth for yourself? What if your brother thought you were really dead?
+~+~+
Yes, our lands overlap, its kind of like an ocean. They all have different names, but all blend together at one point or another. There's just a lot more of them.

I'm in my story.

The stories about Fairie.

I do live underground.

My mother's, father's, grandmother who is named Zerfina, I can trace with confidence. (she's still alive)

My father's, father's, father's, uncle's, brother's something. Named Fargo, he just died last year. There are alot more, but that takes a long time to figure.
+~+~+
Welcome Deornie!
