Damask the Minstrel

... and if you don't, shame on you for not staying caught up! ^.^

So, I'll only do author-guessy bits for a good couple of days. I'd rather talk about Dammy himself, 'cause I love him very much.

So, whatcha wanna know?

Revel

Is that a Mexican wrestling mask on your head, or are you just happy to see me?

Where did the name Softleaves come from?

Why didn't you say goodbye to me?  :-\ I'm the only one who loved you for you!

And I hope that you know that nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land, and forests and sand,
Makes the beautiful world that you'll see in the morning


To all reviewers, past and present, thank you! I don't always find something to say in reply to each reviewer but I do my best to read them and will take their advice as best I can. You are appreciated!

Damask the Minstrel

I am, in fact, happy to see you.

Softleaves was what the voice sounded like, remember? Duh! (And I might have, sort of, ripped it off of Ursula Vernon's "Sweetgrass Voice" from Digger. Just maybe.

I wanted to, Revvie, really! But what goes better with otter brain soup than a side of buffalo wings? It was a safety issue.

Birch

Why did you decide to go the whole crazy-route?

And who's lead will Venril follow now??

Suellyn

mmmm otter brain soup . . . I don't know. This being zombified thing has me craving brains.

but hey Su never really got the chance to meet Dammy. I think she may have noticed the unconscious pile of feathers down at the end of the slave line but we never got to chat.

So how do you think de burdy and Suzie Q would have gotten along if they had a chance to get to know eachother?

and ummm who put the bop in the bop shoo bop shoo bop?

Birch:
1) Well, I like to torture my characters. So... I was originally gonna have Matty tear out his throat (or at least damage it) after learning about the treasure. Then, when they went underground, the Fritters would be all, "It's a silent angel-prophet! *bows*" We gave the cool worship-factor to Rath when I decided to make Dammy crazy instead. Basically, it was tragedy v. comedy. I like the Don Quixote-ness of him, now, better than a tragic songbird without a voice.

2) Hopefully Revel. Sympathetic pregnancy, anyone?

Su:
1) I dunno. I think he would have liked Su -- she's definitely a tragic maid to save. He certainly wouldn't have fallen for her over Eliza -- I don't think anyone had the Princess-factor like she did. Most likely, he'd like Su for her motherliness, especially if she had a happy ending and became a chubby cookin' 'ogwife. Everyone loves good cooking (especially Revvie!)

2)Obviously Suellyn -- with a lisp -- put the Bop in the Shoo-bop. Makes perfect sense!

1. You're in a steel cage match for the Pirate Belt with Rath. Who draws first blood?

2. A bird and a mouse...have we been here before?

3. Which witch is which?
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.


-- Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Damask the Minstrel

1) He does... on himself. Dammy clings to the ceiling of the cage -- Rath hurts himself getting to me.

2) I think... someone has. We, obviously have not. (And, yeah, hugging birds and mice are insanely cute.)

3) Eliza's defintely the Witchy Woman...

Eliza Lacrimosa

*turns Damask into a newt*

1. So, if Damask had made the top three, what kind of astounding glories would he have gone on to?

2. Who is Damask more like: Robin Hood, or Brave Sir Robin?

3. What rhymes with orange?
She walks in beauty, like the night
of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
meet in her aspect and her eyes...


~Lord Byron

Totally still working on the RV5 epilogue, I swear...

Damask the Minstrel

1) Weeell... I had planned a glorious death post for one -- much like Terry or Sturnus. 'Cept entirely in verse-form. And I would have hated everything that rhymes afterward. Otherwise, he likely would have continued to follow Eliza forever. Her constant suitor, so to speak. Or, he would have adopted Rev's kits with Bells and raised a cute, strange family ('cause really, does anyone want Rev to raise them? Kidding Revvie. I love you. Don't eat me.)

2) Robin Hood, I'd say. The Disney one. Saving the maid, singing a ballad, and thumbing his nose at the authorities.

3) Nothing directly does. I'd cross-rhyme 'strange' or 'cringe', most likely.
