Oh Radek. *hugs his little pyromaniac self*

blue_underwing April 16 2008, 16:13:08 UTC

So glad you spotted it was Radek ^_^ I was worried I was being too subtle. (Of course, my version of subtle tends to end up at "clue stick rather than clue-by-four" so probably not a real concern).

BTW, I keep staring at your icon. Is that in fact a nut-cracker in there?

The tone and language used were very Radek, but of course it was the mention of the brother that puts it over the edge.

It... could be a nutcracker. I always thought of it as a drafting compass with an eye in the middle, but considering the source, it might be meant to be both, really. :3 It's the crest of the Sons of Ether, from the game Mage: the Ascension. :3 They're kind of the awesome mad scientists. It seemed appropriate.

Ah. I've heard of Mage: the Ascension, but I've never played. Most of my RPG history is limited to computers. Mad scientists do seem right up my alley though :)

So glad you think I've caught Radek's voice ^_^

Excellent Radek piece. Only someone who hadn't senn the episode would not have figured it out, I think. But very well done!

So glad you liked it! A especially that you saw it was Radek :) I'd been debating labeling a Radek piece in the header, but I decide it worked better with just the suggestion in the text. It's good to know that I didn't go so far the other way that even those who saw the ep. couldn't catch it. I've never been very good at 'subtle'. ^_^

Squee! Very, very cool. (Also slightly disturbing ;0) Nice Radek-centered fic.

blue_underwing April 17 2008, 03:06:28 UTC

Thank you so much! ^_^

That just so happens to be my opinion of Radek, by the way. Cool, and slightly disturbing :)

Aww, Radek and his prudence. Excellent showing (instead of telling).

Thank you! ^_^ Showing, not telling, has been something I've been particularly working on lately, so I've very glad that you liked it :)

I think I would miss matches too.

I always think i'm going to burn myself when i have used a lighter in the past.

It's funny what you'd miss if you didn't have it.

Love the story. Thanks

blue_underwing April 23 2008, 23:18:27 UTC

Glad you liked it. :) I think I'd miss them too. Though, oddly enough, I managed to burn myself on one lighting a candle about an hour after I posted this.
