I mean, I have the one ballfield that goes like this: first base: get the girl to look at me and smile back second: get the girl to talk to me third: get the girl to be friends with me home: get the girl to say yes to going out with me
This alone is very difficult, and only after rounding all the bases in that field (which I've never done, and can rarely even make it to first) can you go to the second.
The second goes like this: first: get the girl to be my girlfriend second: get the girl to hold my hand third: get the girl to hug me home: get the girl to kiss me
Those are my bases and scorings. The umpires here are very mean and kick me out of the game all the time, and there is no fan encouragement.
Yay for baseball metaphors.

At least I never sent in a pinch hitter. Y'know, someone to go to bat for me. Ditching the baseball, I never had someone ask someone out for me.
But I could have. It's an... interesting story. Short, but maybe interesting.

Well, it's only that my late friend Kyle once promised to make sure I had a date for the prom when it finally came time for that. That was ninth grade. In tenth grade, Kyle was killed in a car accident.

I thought I had responded to this one, but I guess I didn't.
So you almost had a pinch hitter for the first field...maybe it's better you didn't. How did he think he would get someone to go out with you? Sounds risky. You really don't want someone batting for you on the second field...at that point I think you would have lost your contract with the ball club.
But sad about your friend.
My opinion, as a previously very shy teenage girl, is that there were probably girls who would have been very glad to go out with you, even if they were too scared to make eye contact. I had a situation with an obviously shy and not very popular guy in one of my grade 9 classes, who asked me to go see a particular museum event, and I said I had to ask my parents (I was dumbfounded), and when he didn't ask me what my parents had said, he just assumed I didn't want to go, but I was just too shy to tell him they said it was fine. I was waiting for him to ask me what they said. Finally, right before the exhibit (it was King Tut, BTW), I managed to get the nerve to tell him I could go, but when I did he said he had to go with his dad. So we never went out. It's too bad, because I knew he liked me, and I liked him, but we were both very socially inept.

Joy. It's social ineptitude all around, eh?
And if anyone was wondering, I didn't go to either junior prom or senior prom. I felt like crap and such about it in 11th, but I didn't mind so much in 12th (I was still involved with Mossy then). I would have gone if anyone had asked me, though. .-.

I'm not sure if we have "prom" here, or if I just dropped out before they happened. I never went to any school dances, though. Or went out with anyone while I was at school.

Translates: When you say fairy girl are you talking about Azelea?
I thought that there were traditionally two ELF groups called the seelie and unseelie courts.

Is there anyplace to find the full Bios. With all the characters including the secondary character aswell as the main? This was said in the bio thread by antonius. I've moved it here as this is where it belongs ^_~. off-topic: Gyah~! Stop asking me to come to the forums to do stuff for right now! I'll let everyone know when I am back. There are other moderators who would be more than happy to help you out. I'm on vacation.

I know that Tony has naturally blue Sclera. This made me think and with the "sickly" alias and the cane that there was a specific disease in mind. It is a genetic disease called "osteogenesis inperfecta" and causes very, VERY fragile bones, and for some reason, light blue sclera. Was this on purpose or just a fluke?

I gotta own up to it, that's a fluke but a darn good coincidence if I ever saw one! (another one that came up being that "Menulis", sometimes known as "Menu", was the moon god in (I think Balkan) mythology!) I gotta tell Nick about this one though ^_^ It's likely it could have been mistaken for that then, but probably type 1 where bones are just brittle. At the time they probably wouldn't have realized it's a genetic disease anyway, though I could be mistaken... I don't like to assume that people were that ignorant in the past. But yeah, I just figured it was mostly his mother's overprotectiveness that kept people from wondering too much about it.

I thought it was more like why he was a stillborn child. People with OGI tend to get broken bones while in the womb figured he broke his spine or a rib punctured something... once he became a praeturnatural creature he got those things fixed... i thought. He does look brittle in the flashback though. It is a really unlikely coincidence though. People in the past did tend to label people with giantism or dwarfism or any other genetic disease as wicked, or the child of sin. The fact that they saw him as an alp would take no great leap of imagination (even if he wasnt) Olaf however could have disguised himself better... incidentally who is the girl in the flashback, playing the piano? another question: if Tony's mother dug him up and he was alive then how did he get his hat... if he didn't have his hat then what was he in the meantime?

Oh, that's a lot of stuff that gets explained in the book I'm working on right now actually ^_^ But since this is not covered considering where the book starts, I can divulge a little info on the situation with Tony's mother. She was a really nice woman but at the time of his birth, she wasn't quite "all there" and made some rather crazy decisions in her refusal to believe he was dead. at the time I wrote that initial description, I should have elaborated that she less "dug him up" and more "leapt into the grave while they were piling dirt in and clawed through the dirt to pry the little coffin open" and found that she was "right" about the doctor being wrong. But Tony's father was rather wary however, though he regarded himself a rather practical and "rational" man and wasn't prone to superstitions (according to him, superstition is for poor people living in the woods, not well-do-to folks like his family) though he found something a little peculiar about the boy. But he regarded it as an illness as well since there was no other explanation that made sense to him. He was cold and distant to his son but he couldn't really say why he felt that way. He mostly stood back and let his wife dote on him, because he knew how much she meant to her. But Tony didn't have a hat and because he was, shall we say, "interrupted" in the process, he assumed a more changeling-esque role. He wasn't human but nor was he quite an alp yet either, so he grew up "normally" until he got the hat. However he was extremely weak and prone to falling down and indeed seriously injuring himself multiple times, so he was given the cane to help him walk (one of his legs had twisted also) but it also helps the situation a lot that his parents simply kept him indoors, both for their own different reasons. Indeed, in the past people did malign the ill, but I think by the 1700s most people had probably become a little more enlightened on diseases. Of course they were still "burning witches" up into the 1800's, despite people in the 790's calling it "superstitious"! However, Tony wasn't born in the backwoods in the Black Forest, he was born and raised in Emden, which is a seaport in Lower Saxony , so his mother wasn't biting any horse collars for her labor pains As for Olaf? He had an attitude, and he was super-proud of being an alp to the point that he was fine parading about in broad daylight without changing his looks. Of course this lead to his own demise and nearly Tony's as well. Olaf thought himself untouchable, but as he found out, bullets touched him just fine! Hehe, I quite enjoy your challenging questions Artemisia, it keeps me on focus Had I known about OGI though I certainly would have thought about using that!

The last page of it is being inked right now by my awesome friend Neila, so perhaps a few days to a week before we see that! I'm super excited about it, she's really done great work translating my pencil scribbles!
