Last set of questions... I think
From Sharra:
1. Why are you so prepared to die young? (It's not natural and very upsetting.)
It is very easy to kill a person. It can happen at any time and really doesn't take much. At all. I guess, I was just forced to learn that at too young an age. Why should I be afraid of something that will most likely happen to me no matter what I do? Why not just accept it? Then, I will never regret it, and it's better to have no regrets. But I think Hootie & The Blowfish put it best: "If I die tomorrow, yeah, just lay me down to sleep."
... Besides, for a while, I just didn't want to live. It was too much.
2. Why are you so determined to push people away - especially in the romantic sense?
Well, I could start by saying I'm a little bit insecure. With romantic relationships especially, there is a physical component. I have issues with that. I guess I'm just afraid that every time someone brushes against my skin, the are going to do me harm. Also, I don't want to do anyone else harm. I'm not really safe to be around. I'm reckless occasionally, and I think I sometimes attract danger. Not to mention I have bad moments and bad days, and I don't want to accidentally lash out and hurt someone. I could never forgive myself. It's happened before.
3. Is there anything I can do to help you? (I know I've kind of stolen that from Otis, but I like it!)
I'm actually doing well at the moment. I'm sleeping fourish ours a night and I'm working. It's survival.
4.Will you please be careful?
I will do my best. My job is fairly dangerous at times. I am still alive, though. And I'm doing what I can.
5.And finally I shall return your question, if you were stranded on a tropical island where no magic works and you are allowed to bring one person and two items (one per person) with you. Who would you bring and what are the items?
The tools are easy. I would bring flint because it lasts longer than matches (for fire). And I would bring a large hunting-type knife. As for who...
From Futch's family:
1) From Eiji: Doesn't all that pessimism get boring after a while?
I'm not entirely pessimistic. I'm occassionally cynical...
2) From Ichiyo: How did you get to be so strong?
I do training every day for at least two hours. This is something I've been doing for a long time. It's very difficult and it sometimes hurts, but it makes you strong.
3) Also From Ichiyo: Do you think I could get to be that strong?
I think that with the proper guidance you could do it. Definately.
4) Also From Ichiyo: What school do you think I should go to?
Well, I think you should go to the school that you like best. Look at what they teach and talk to people who went there. Then decide. Don't go to a school if you don't want to learn anything they teach there. That's a bad idea. Make sure you like the school before choosing.
5) From Hiroji: Why is it that Futch's friends (excluding Magus and Roz) have never been to visit our family?
Well, to be honest, Futch and I went through a rough patch where we really weren't on good terms. We are much better now. In all honesty, I am much closer to Roz and Magus than I am to Futch. But being friends with Roz involves knowing Futch. However, since Roz is currently in Japan, I may have to come there to visit her, and if things work out, I would not mind meeting your family.
From Dove:
1) What's the best thing you've ever read and why?
I'm a big fan of Cyrano De Bergerac. I just like his character. I like end. I mean, he's right. The best and most beautiful battles are those fought in vain.
2) What's the dumbest thing anyone can ever do/say?
"I will avenge you."
3) Which movie genre are you most likely to watch?
I kind of like Sci-Fi and fantasy. Action/Adventure is fun too. But they're so silly sometimes. And, who can ignore a good "horror" film?
4) How long do you think you could travel for before getting sick of it?
Me? I could move around for ever. Never staying put wouldn't really bother me.
5) What's your favourite meal?
That one's easy! Chicken noodle soup!
From Magus:
1) How's the sleeping going? Are you managing to sleep for any longer periods of time than you had before?
It's... going. Still about four hours a night. Some nights are less. Some are more, but not many. Sometimes, I just wake up. Not necessarily from a nightmare or anything. Just for seemingly no reason at all. But it's better than nothing, right?
2) Are you finally gonna get off your ass and go visit Roz and Futch?
Well, I hav been working a lot. But I've got a few days with nothing scheduled coming up. I'm going to try to keep them open and go visit one of those days, I think. Would you like to come?
3) I know you don't want to encourage me doing... non-normal things... but I want to work with you again, damn it! Any jobs I could help out with?
Ok, ok. I didn't think I'd keep you away for too long, anyways. You're not as bad as me. Sometimes, I think you're close, though. Ummm... That Erkling is still on the loose. I haven't found it yet. You want to help me catch it? And that guy who is paying 100 Galleons per job has more work to do. This one's a bit sketchy, though. Last time I delivered, the guys picking up were very nervous.
4) What kind of meal should I learn how to make?
Well, you could learn to make chicken noodle soup (real, not canned)... Or, you could make roast beef with horseraddish sauce on the side, grilled vegetables (with garlic and butter), and possibly mashed potatoes?
5) I heard about the trade Loire offered you in exchange for you attending her wedding. You going for it?
If I go, I get out of her silly Kiss-Collection Week? That deal? I'm thinking about it. Just getting out might be worth it, but it means I have to make sure I have a pair of acceptable robes. Also means I need to be careful. If I say I'm going, I have to be there. Loire will notice if I sneak out to get medical attention like I did at Freida's...
