Band? Why's it killing you?

Thank you I'll need it... This is hard to do...
Well, if it's a youtube video that's imbedded into a post, then it's more compatible. But here's a perk to the gifs. Other people can save them to there computers. I simply add a watermark to it and everything. (Because half of the people in the Paradox House RP miss my stuff or it gets lost in the pages and no one can remember where it was.)

Chapter 9 part 2 is finally here!
Also, I'm doing a character ask event - please ask any question to any character you like. Any! Although questions such as 'are you the killer' probably won't get a straight response...

Random cat: Yes, I am the killer. Too bad you don't know who I am, huh?

Random cat: O.O

Cinder: Don't tell him, okay, but I'd be really upset... He's grown on me, and I appreciate how committed he is to the swan investigation - even if he does still annoy me

Any other questions? I have to say I was hoping for more than one person, but hey xp

Hmm, well, this is your chance then c;

(Hey, this wasn't in the deal!) It's a really stupid answer, actually: the summer I started writing it I spent far too much time revising for geography, which gave me the idea for the Ashfall, and then I stumbled across the phrase 'a lamentation of swans' somewhere and just thought it would make a cool title, which then inspired the main plot.

Ahh, thank you

Hearts-ease: (Sycamore never paid attention when the elders were explaining this.) No-one really understands what happened, even those who were there - a huge rain of burning ash and rocks just fell out of the sky. Everywhere that wasn't buried by the ash was set on fire, and the ash remained in the air and the lake for a long time. PineClan territory was sheltered by the mountain, but the flatter land near AshClan where the Twolegs lived became a wasteland for a while. The Ashfall affected the weather as well, that's why we have such bad storms.

Mulberry: No? Okay, that's cool! Maybe the author will remember to write me into a scene for once, and I can have a chance to do something nice.

:3 Nomally the title's the last thing I come up with. But I liked that phrase so much that I was determined. Can I ask you that question back (if we're not playing by the rules )?

Awesome! Okay... Where did you generally get story ideas from?

I will, I will x'D I don't know where you've got to, but I've had no space in the more recent chapters to feature anywhere near the amount of characters I'd like to.

Hearts-ease: AshClan didn't exist back then; the Clans were only formed later, when we realised the Twolegs weren't coming back to look after us like they used to... But that is why they got their name, because the only territory they managed to claim was full of ash.

Oh, yes, I think I remember you telling me that now . If only my dreams made enough sense to use them for stories!

Hmm, then you have about one or two more scenes where he's prominant, I'm afraid.
And that seems like a really good idea for keeping track of fics c:

Hearts-ease: Too lazy, honestly! We have three Clans: PineClan, AshClan and StormClan. And yes, there used to be way more immediately after the Ashfall, but all the others died out or merged until there was only three left.

Colour. At least that's how I remember them Another interesting question: what language do you dream in?
(A random question, yes, but quite a cool one cx)

Just apologising for the lack of Mulberryness in later chapters x'D A British-ism? Idk

Hearts-ease: Eh, the elders like to talk about it. And besides, I have the magical power of authorly exposition on my side.

I'm not bilingual but I'm studying several languages at school, so sometimes I dream in one of those. Complete with my atrocious grammar ;p

Hmm, interesting. Any particular reason why?

*linguistic cackling*

Hmm, it's interesting that you'd pick up on that
My faves are usually just the ones that make me laugh tbh. Or who I feel sorry for. So I'll end up rooting for the sarcastic underdog and then get disappointed when the heroic characters h=get all the action.

I said nothing! :3

I don't intend to be drawn to underdogs...I just adopt them because I feel too sorry for them not to. But yes! There is nothing worse when an author creates an awesome character and doesn't give them enough page-time.

Well, duh. Add me.

So, tell me, what is the Merlin Conspiracy by Diana Wynne Jones about. I remember you said on Smoke Rising (ages ago) that you've read it. It's one of the few that I haven't.
