1. What is your name? Addie
2. What is your quest? To help those who ask for it, and to live a life
3. What is your favorite color? Yellow
4. ...oh, serious questions?
5. Why is McKay such a dick? I don't know- perhaps he doesn't mean it.
6. Why does Beckett think he's my "mum"? I don't know. Did you try to ask him?
7. Why is Tony in Tuscany instead of here with me? Did one of you accidentally make the wrong travel plans?
8. Who pisses in McKay's Cheerios every morning? I don't know, but they should stop that. That's not what Cheerios are for.
9. Why do I have such amazing friends? Because you deserve them!
10. Why do I love shooting people so much? It's part of your job, I assume. If you don't love what you do, you would be pretty unhappy.
11. Why does my hair do this? Because it's cool.
12. How come the ATA gene seems to present itself so much stronger in me? A back mutation, I believe? I'm not sure, but it seems the most likely answer. I could try to find out, if you would like?
13. Who wore that blue ribbon, Steve? (Yes, I'm still curious about that dammit). I'm not sure, but I'm not Steve so I can't answer.

*mun and John are cackling somewhere far, far away...*

Addie, you're the sweetest thing since sliced bread. No one actually pisses in McKay's Cheerios and Tony and I did indeed make the wrong travel plans... And thanks, I think my hair's pretty neat, too.

...what's a back mutation?

[adalia_krause]

You're welcome! Weren't skittles invented after sliced bread?

I think that the ATA gene, like many others, has mutated a bit from it's original source. With you, it's possible that older parts of the gene replicated to the newer, mutated part of the gene- therefore changing the whole thing back to something closer to the old gene.

I'm better with pictures than these silly words.

*laughs*

I'd love to see a diagram when I come visit... but I think I understand.

[adalia_krause]

I'm a terrible artist, but I will try.

[colonelinblack]

I'm sure you're great. Better than me, anyway.

[adalia_krause]

I will attempt it.
