"You sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."

Remember:

If you give a man art, he'll have art for a day.

If you teach a man to art

It's absolute MADNESS.

I'm writing this in my spare time--I quite honestly am short of that, recently. At the moment, myself and Elizabeth are hiding somewhere discreet, hopefully under the radar of CERTAIN HEARTLESS WRITERS.
CERTAIN WRITERS WHO WILL NEVER, NEVER GET MY WIFE!

Kal, currently, is in somewhat of a nasty little fight with Allison. Harsh words are being traded, as are inappropriate suggestions for one to preform the unthinkable to one's dead sire. The poor bird is trying to patch things up, though without much conviction. That Scottish-werewolf fellow, Anyerin, is back to chain-smoking, despite his earlier vows to cut it down (his story is also at a bit of a stand-still).

As for that poor Black character...last time I had official contact with A CERTAIN WRITER, she was almost sure that the chapter would be finished soon...but, since THE CERTAIN WRITER THREATENED ELIZABETH'S LIFE, I have cut off all contact with the outside world.

Yes, I realize I did not have much contact in the first place. Well...actually, I had no contact. But we are quite secluded now. Hidden, you see, from A CERTAIN AUTHOR PRYING INTO MY MARRIED LIFE. Quite hidden. Herbert brings us food.

So, while I offer my condolences to any of those who may be frustrated with the prolonged delay of "Chapter 2", I do not have any tangible information. Perhaps Anyerin or Jack or some other character without a wife to take care of could give further information.

If you would excuse me, Herbert has arrived with out supper, and I would like to enjoy a quiet, peaceful meal with Elizabeth--UNNINTERUPTED BY ANY CERTAIN, CARELESS WRITERS.

Kal vs Allie
JUST BECAUSE IT'S EASY.

Question One: Usually a hero has at least one similiarity with their villain opposite. List up to three if you can.

1.) Due to an unfortunate incident, both share a mental connection, allowing them to read the other's thoughts, emotions, etc.
2.) Both have habits/ticks the other can't stand.
3.) They are both bipedal, carbon-based life-forms.

Great. Question Two: Some differences.
There's a lot more than three...

1.) Allie gets nauseous at the sight of blood/carnage (Kal pretty much lives for it).
2.) Kal can't touch other people, and wouldn't want to anyways.
3.) Allie is a human able to use magick and is the heir to a throne, and Kal is a freak of nature who uses all of his magickal abilities to suppress his emotions. And he's a drifter.

Question Three: What would a civil conversation between the two sound like?
Kal: Well, Princess, you certainly look lovely today! It just makes me want to pull your intestines out through your bodice! Then, I can yank that pretty little head of yours back by that braid, and pluck out those blue eyes...just for starters. After those, I think I'll rip out that weak little heart of yours and have myself a nice snack before it stops beating.
Allie: |:....If you did that, you'd die too.
Kal: *facepalm*


Question Four: Alright, sweet. Now their most violent conversation!
Kal: THAT'S IT! XIEKK KARA! I'M GOING TO SLAUGHTER YOU, YOU KI'TARE-IA!
Allie: !!!! *ducks fist* KALENDRAKK RAEE, GO POUR ACID IN YOUR EYES, YOU FUCKING BASTARD!

Question Five: Ouch, damn. Now how about if they were forced to live together?
Well, funnily enough...

Question 6: Will / has your protagonist kill / killed the antagonist, or vice-versa?
Due to their link to each other, Kal can’t kill Allie, as it would kill himself.
And Allie is a pussy, so she wouldn’t kill him.

Question 7: Does your antagonist have any hobbies?
Kal: I enjoy long flights in freezing weather, the dying screams of innocents, and playing the violin.

Question 8: Do your protagonist and antagonist have themesongs? If so, what are they?
Kal: “Brain Stew” by Green Day
Allie: “To the Light Again,” by Newton Faulkner

Question 8: Do you think if their situations were switched, things would be different?
Kal is technically a natural impossibility—a freak of nature, if you will—so he was born the way he was, and most of his mental defects probably would have occurred even if he was raised and grew up normally.
Allie probably wouldn’t have survived a month if she grew up in Kal’s position.

Question 9: Do you associate them with any animals?
Kal reminds me of some sort of rabid cat (oddly enough, him being born from Raven-type daemons and all), and Allie would probably be a canary or something else tiny and weak and pretty. With a shrill voice.

Question 10: What are the greatest Sins (by that we mean Seven Deadlies) of your protagonist and antagonist?
Kal: Wrath, of course…DEFINITELY not lust, or gluttony. Sloth is probably in there somewhere, and Pride.
Allie: Lust, as she’s a shameless flirt; Sloth, Envy, and Pride.

Question 11: Update them to modern times if they're not already. Who are they now?
Kal: Still a freak-o’-nature, still on the run from the government (thought this’d probably be the US army), still a mass-murderer. Allie would be some rich guy’s daughter, with a hundred pairs of shoes, a closet the size of a room, and would probably spend most of her time in the mall.

Question 12: Favored method of transportation for the protagonist and antagonist?
Kal: Flying or walking, occasionally running.
Allie: A nice comfortable carriage, with plenty of velvet pillows and blankets in case she gets chilled.

Question 13: Favored weapon(s) of choice?
Kal: His claws, hands, feet, and occasionally his wings.
Allie: If she absolutely has to fight, a longsword (blue steel), with a two-hand-and-a-half grip.

And finally, question 14: Is a resolution ever possible?
Even if one wasn’t, they’re eternally at a stalemate.
