Introducing my new fursuit, "Moondog", who had definitely made waves at AnthroCon:

----------------

I've had a crazy amount of bad luck and good luck recently.

Bad: The large barrage of storms came and wiped out the electricity for 12 hours.

Good: Our friend down the street had electricity so we put some of our food in her
fridge awhile.

ANTHROCON 2008 STORY (continuing good/bad)

Bad: We started at 10am to drive to Anthrocon. We reach a small city that connects two freeways together, and my car motor refuses to start at a gas station.

Good: That's okay, we have AAA and the tow-truck driver says he's gonna come out right now! He's even gonna take an extra battery with him cuz we may need one! How convenient!

Bad: The tow-truck is stuck in traffic about 1000 yards away on an off-ramp because 5 minutes after we stalled out, the police close off the main road for the TOUR OF PENNSYLVANIA, a freakin' bicycle race that lasted over an hour.

Good: After that boring thing ended, he was able to tow our car to his shop.

Bad: His shop is in the middle of NOWHERE and we are at the whim of five guys who do what they want, when they want. We sit on the greasy/oily floor for 4 hours.

More Bad: To make matters worse, our hotel room had only two names assigned to it, Minty's and ours. Minty was trapped at his home-town airport because of an outage or something and couldn't claim the room.. and we were stuck at a repair shop. Our fellow room mate, Stria, cannot get into the room and we will lose it if Provo or Minty do not get there by midnight to assign a credit card to the room.

Good: We called a few people, and end up getting a credit card assigned to our room! Our room is SAVED! At this point, we hope we are able to get there and enjoy the hotel rooms shower and lovely beds with its many sheets and blankets.

Bad: Ends up that the shop guys look at my car and then sit around telling stories until the shop closes. They say its a broken fuel pump and it'll cost me $500, but they'd have to hold my car overnight. (Uhm.. OVERNIGHT in the middle of nowhere??)

Good: (6pm) The truck driver (let's call him Benny) says he'd gladly tow our car home for us!

Bad: Benny says he'd like to go home and get a shower before going on the two-hour trip. O_o? Obviously we can't tell him "no! you can't get a shower!".. By this time, we are also covered in grease, dirt, and sweat, in need of a shower and food. So we wait, sitting out on the gravel behind the truck out of the blazing sunset, getting attacked by bugs. When Provo laid down and stared at the sky, an eagle was swirling around overhead, wondering if he could pick him off as a meal. It took Benny about 1 hour to get finished up at the shop, go home, shower, maybe catch a bite of dinner, and come back out.

Good: (7pm) Benny shows up! He didn't leave us for dead! Further more, he's a really nice guy! Matter of fact, he stops off at a gas station to fuel up and asks if we want anything to eat or drink, and even offers to PAY for it! All the way home, Provo and Benny talk about baseball and Nascar as if they were friends for years. It was an enjoyable trip.

Semi-Good: (10pm) We get home and get the car unhitched. We say our goodbyes to good ole Benny, and then figure out what our next move is. We call our room mate and find that Minty's plane dropped him off in Ohio and that he has to drive down to PA. Despite how worn out we feel, we decide it'd be best to drive up TONIGHT instead of doing it in the morning. We shift all the stuff from my car to his car, hop in and drive. As we pass the evil city my car died in, we hold our breath and decide NOT to stop there to get gas. Highway hypnosis takes its toll as we fight to stay awake, but eventually we arrive in Pittsburgh at 1am.

Bad: Stria text-messages us, saying that Minty will probably arrive an hour earlier than us, this may mean that we have to sleep on the inflatable bed even though we were the ones who reserved the room. The GPS and the mapquest directions tell us two separate ways to get to our "destination". I choose the GPS because of its ability to reroute. It leads us into the bad part of town and tells us to get onto a road that is closed due to construction and dilapidation. The GPS constantly tells us to make a U turn everywhere we go, and finally we realize that it is trying to get us to go back on the freeway and over the bridge into some unknown city that isn't Pittsburgh. Provo is freaking out, physically shaking behind the wheel from lack of sleep and fear we'll never find our way.

Good: I decided to kill the GPS and look at the crappy Mapquest directions. It tells me nothing, so I result to using the tiny printout map to figure out where we need to go. We succeed at getting there! We unpack with the help of wonderful :iconindigare: who stayed up and waited for our arrival just so he could help us lug our load of crap up to our room. You're awesome! We marched up to our room to find a sleeping Stria. We try to sneak around the room without disturbing him and put away our stuff. This was when we realized that Minty never showed up and we don't know where he is. I jump in bed, claiming it as MINE ALL MINE MWAHAHAHA!!! Provo becomes hyper like an excited puppy because he is FINALLY at Anthrocon and he pounces the sleeping Stria (who doesn't remember being woke up and fell back into a deep sleep as soon as it happened).

Sorta Bad: About ten minutes later, I'm laying in bed trying to sleep when Minty and two others charge loudly into the room, turn on all the lights, throw down their stuff, and permanently wake the sleeping Stria. blah. Provo jumped around all happy and talked to them about travel horror-stories and the like.

Good Fun: At Anthrocon, we rehearsed our "Underdog" skit, and my brain-drainer helmet kept falling off. On the night of the Masquerade, Speedy's helmet fell off before any of the machine noises happened.. like we didn't switch brains. XD We also were asked to fill in for the skit that followed ours, called "We're Not Gonna Take It," where we got to kick a protester around and shove him off the stage! XD Unfortunately, I was behind the mob and the protester, so I don't show up in a lot of the photos.

More Fun: At the Fursuit Olympic Games, I didn't expect to do well, all those tall, strong guys against me? Haha yeah, right. I just went into it with a "I'll try to be as good as I can be, even though I'm the only girl in my group, that we have only four team-mates instead of five, and that we got stuck with the color BROWN to represent our team." I also didn't have Provo, Speedy, or Featherwing on my team; they were all strangers. Not expecting anything, I did my best, and everything seemed to come so easy to me. For charades, I had to act out "photo" and "punch". I had trouble with the relay race, I dodged through the cones and tried to find my number, but the decorative 7 looked like a 4 to me and I lost a little time. Despite that, Team Brown managed to make it to the top, we became the points leader. We then had to play four games against our own team mates to see who would win the three medals they were giving away. I thought it'd be awesome to get a medal, so I tried my hardest! All I had to do was make sure I won two games so that I wouldn't be in fourth place (no medal). Somehow, with a little perseverance and possibly a little luck(??), I won Musical Cones (too low-budget for chairs) where it came down to me and another guy diving for the one cone, we both slid on it. There was a looong pause. I wondered myself where the cone had gone to, so I felt around with my paw and was amazed to find it was beneath my paw! I clutched it and raised it successfully over my head, like "I DID IT!!!" I won the first game too, but my mind draws a blank on what it was.
It ended up narrowing down to me and a tall, thin guy in a border collie suit. The final game was one of balance; plant your feet firmly on the ground, hold paws and try to push your opponent until they move their feet to catch their balance. I knew I was outdone the moment I stepped up there. I tried to twist him around, and when that didn't work, I unconsciously moved a foot and I was out. I won 2ed place and got a silver medal with engraving on the back of it. It's really awesome! I'm really proud of that medal, I don't usually win anything.

Our friends happened to record random videos on Provo's camera and took many pix. I'd love to post them somewhere, most of them are from the dance.

Q: Where will you be most of the time during the days?
A: Fursuiting! I plan to do the Fursuit games, parade, and a skit in the Masquerade. I will do general fursuit romps after every meal and probably once more before sleep (approx 4 times per day). You may catch me out of suit when wandering around the dealers room or going to the two restuarants on Liberty Ave. You may also find Provo and I in the Zoo, look for us at the "transformation table". We arrive on thursday and leave either sunday or monday..

Q: Where are you staying?

A: The Westin, Fursuit floor.

Q: Who will you be with?

A: I'm rooming with , nevermint, puperaver and Stria Inbiri. You may find me palling around with any one of those, but mostly Provo (my BF) who will be in a beagle fursuit.

Others include Sharky (fursuit "Speedy" hamster-shark) and his son Featherwing (fursuit bald eagle), Comus, Canem, Zaxamillion, and indigare.

Q: Do you do free art?

A: I might. I usually give away some free art in the Zoo for anybody who wants me to draw something in their scrapbooks. The sad thing is that I give away nearly all my artwork for free and don't get anything in return (no money, no artwork in return, nothing..)

Q: Do you do trades?

A: Yeah! I'd LOVE to get some artwork back! That'd be so freakin' awesome!

Q: Do you do commissions?

A: I could. I don't have an Artist Alley table or Dealer room table, so anything I'd be able to do would be at the Zoo.

Q: Do you have prints/ CDs ?

A: No.. I don't really see the point in CDs, you can see all my stuff online anyway! As for prints, no, I don't have any with me this time. If I ever find time after making this fursuit, this answer may change to "yes".. but right now it's looking pretty impossible.

Q: Do you do badges?
A: YES! I'll do badges while I'm there, if I have any time! If you find me anywhere around the con, I can do a badge for you at the standard price of $10 for luggage tag badges and shape badges and $5 for metal tag badges.

Q: What is your gender?
A: Female


Q: How old are you?
A: 24, but people say I look 19.

Q:Can I touch you?
A: Hugs are free But I prefer to know you though before hugs. I am a bit stand-offish with strangers, and please give me space. DO NOT try to come onto me or overcrowd me, I'm not single and I am not looking, so if you plan to do that, please leave me alone.

Q:Can I talk to you?
A: Don't just ignore me! Come on over and say HI! Even if I'm in fursuit, I'll talk to ya! I'm kinda quiet, and no doubt I'll be really tired from running around (when I'm tired, I get quiet), but I love to talk to furries/people at cons.

Q: What do you look like/how can I spot you?

A1: Well, I have two answers for that. One is a human girl with an italian tan, short brown hair and green eyes, standing about 5'3", wearing glasses and a black Lennon cap.

A2: My "alter ego" this year will be the white scottish terrier, "Moondog", who is a white and ivory-colored dog in 1980s dress (or hawaiian luou gear), big hoop earrings and a black lace bow on her straight ear. She has a black heart-shape spot on her folded ear, dark grey-purple claws, blue eyeshadow, and short white hair (wig). Ya can't miss her!

If for some reason you CAN'T find me, you can get in contact with Provo Beagle and he'll relay it to me. He's is about 5'5" tall with red hair (buzz cut), blue eyes, glasses. He ALWAYS wears t-shirts (might see him in one of his beagle shirts) and a baseball cap with flames on it. It's possible he'll be wearing a beagle tail (black tip, white middle, reddish-brown base) when wandering around or his new beagle fursuit (half-suit).

EXTRA INFO: We WILL be taking Romeo Valentino (red panda fursuit) to Anthrocon this year as an extra fursuit. If anyone wants to take him out for a spin, please contact me. You MUST be someone I can trust, Provo and I will probably go out suiting with you and show you how to behave and play in fursuit. A great chance for a first-timer! Send me a note if you are interested!

This meme was taken from DA artist Booker [link] loooooong ago ... I don't often do meme's, but this one was inspiring, so I saved it. It took me almost a year to complete it, since I don’t often have time to complete this stuff. It helps you understand the characters through their own words! So... here we go!

----------------------------------------

Rules
1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.

Character names - who they are, (their accents/how they talk):

Harp – acrobatic clown from the 1930s era (voice of Cliff “Ukulele Ike” Edwards. american accent) [link]

Paul McGear - leader of the tribute band "The Fab Gears" (clear, young voice. light scouse accent) [link]

Max Lennon - cool lad of Beatles tribute band "The Fab Gears" (calm cool deep voice, a bit nasal. scouse accent) [link]

George Harrismith - shy lad of Beatles tribute band "The Fab Gears" (skittish shy nasal voice. a thick scouse accent) [link] (on the left)

Rodney Morgan - evil goth warlock, son of Max Lennon (low voice, London accent, very proper english) [link]

Peter Torken - the child-like dummy of Monkees tribute band "The Prairie Chickens" (Stanley Spadowski from "UHF", except voice is soft, not gruff. american accent) [link]

Yes, their speech will sometimes be written phonetically below if they have an accent, so I hope you can still understand them.

---------------------------------------

Let us begin!


1) How old are you?
Harp: 18
Paul: 17
Max: "I'm the tender, legal age of 18. Off to the pubs!"
George: "16 ..The yoongest of us Gears. Me brotha is younga but he takes cur of me."
Peter: "Uhh.. I forget."
Rodney: "I am not juvenile."

2) Height?
Harp: “Shortish, say .”
Paul: “I’m short. 5’4”.”
Max: "A gentle giant, ya might say. Ehh.. approximatelyyy 6 and half foot. I'm a bit taller than George, I know. His ears surpass me though. *sly grin*"
George: "My nickname was often Stretch in school. I was the tallest long as I can remember. Oh, about 6 foot, rather using American measurements."
Peter: “I’m BIIIIIIG!”
Rodney: “Size is irrelevant.”

3) You Got Any Bad Habits?
Harp: “I’m love to hog the spotlight, if anyone else was on the stage at the time, I’m sorry. I just love to have others laugh at me. It means the world to me.”
Paul: “I can become a bit jealous.. and maybe fly off the handle every now and again. And… I have an affinity for white wine…”
Max: “I pick my teeth with my foot claws, is that the kind of dirt you’re after? Ay? AAAY?? *nudge-nudge*”
George: “I fear people and other anthros, deathly afraid. I fear they’ll harm me. I also let everyone walk over me, it’s not a good thing, I know. Rather, I just can’t seem to grow a backbone in my current surroundings.”
Peter: “I crash into things a LOT! And my sister says I shouldn’t stick my head into pillows cuz I won’t be able to breathe.. I gotta remember that.”
Rodney: “I believe tossing sporadic fireballs at random passersby is my STRONG point… but others seem to disagree.”

4) You a virgin?
Harp: "Say! You’re getting kinda personal now, aren’t you. Well, I guess I’ll tell ya. If you put a girl and I in a room together.. we'd both be safe. I like girls, but I'm a little scared of'em."
Paul: “Oh yeah, I haven’t had the opportunity to do anyone as of yet. But, I have someone in mind.”
Max: "Do you believe a lad this adorable would still be a virgin? You betta believe it!"
George: "I cur not to tell. Thet’s private, thet is!"
Peter: "...... ...... What's a virgin?"
Rodney: "I don’t mate, it is a waste of my energy and time. Only the mindless breed to spread their mindless offspring about the world. That is how this world came into existence."

5) Do you have a Mate/Spouse?
Harp: "Not yet, but I always imagine there is someone out there especially for me. Just call me a hopeless romantic."
Paul: “Despite what others say, Stacy Huskwolf is MINE, you ‘ear? No one can have her.”
Max: "The ever-bubbly and quick-witted Miss Maxsiean Spaniel."
George: "Her name is Tena, she's like an angel sent to me. I thought no one in the world would luv me. Then she came. I cannot believe out of all of my unlucky life that I would get to be with her. I really don't believe I deserve her. She's a neat-freak just like me and she's tall like me. It was as if we were meant to be."
Peter: "Oooh NOOO.. But..but I really like Stacy a LOT. But.. Paul would KILL me if I got anywhere NEAR her. ..Yuuup.."
Rodney: " I have a female that follows me about (Joslyn).. I loathe her perky presence yet I cannot drive her away. She wants me to teach her magic and has become my fanatic of sorts. She has become quite a nuisance, but I cannot seem to smite her, my hand refuses to cast any spell upon her. Amidst the twisted irony, having her around amuses me as a jester in a court does for ones King. I believe I have found some sort of fondness for her, of which my pride will never admit to. The rest of them must burn in flames and writhe in pain, but her.. she will remain at my side."

6) Have Any Kids?
Harp: “Are you serious? I haven’t even FOUND the girl yet!”
Paul: “In the future, we’ve Wacky, Santa, Amy, Michael, and Jessie. Stacy and I do.”
Max: "We've a future child, Rodney. We don't know much about him, but we must've done something wrong in the future, because he came back to the past to seek vengeance upon us."
George: “Little Yakky.. our future child.”
Peter: “Nooo.. my family won’t let me have kids.”
Rodney: "I would not plague the world with more of my depressed and sulking kind, unless it was to have minions to do my bidding."

7) Favorite Food?
Harp: “Bamboo. Just kidding! I like all sorts of fruit and vegetables. But my guilty pleasure is black jelly beans.”
Paul: “asta, it goes well with wine. They make it great at the Amore Café.”
Max: “Corn flakes! *sings* Sitting on a corn flake, waiting for the van to come…”
George: “Jam-butties! I’m such a lad.”
Peter: “Anything Stacy cooks. She’s a GREAT cook!”
Rodney: “Food is just nourishment. I eat, I drink, I move on.”

8) Favorite Ice Cream flavour?
Harp: “Orange sherbet is addicting. I’m more fond of custard than ice cream though, it’s smoother.”
Paul: “I fancy vanilla, you get to add any flavor or toppings you want to it. It’s versatile.”
Max: “Strawberry! Or maybe that new Ben and Jerry’s ‘Imagine Whirled Peace’, the John Lennon flavored ice cream, a little Lennon in every bite. Oh, that’s wrong. *cracks up*”
George: “Chocolate fudge”
Peter: “Rainbow!”
Rodney: “Devil’s food”

9) Killed anyone?
Harp: “No!”
Paul: “I’ve had to defend a LOT of folks from getting killed, mostly Stacy. I’ve gotten killed myself more than once. It’s just a job I’ve been assigned. To defend the ones I love from the evil baddies of the world, that’s me.”
Max: “Not a chance! Me motto is peace n love, and it always has been. Though I protect family, I’ve never had to kill anyone.”
George: “No.. I’ve always been the preverbal damsel in distress or the one who was looked over in the mass-slaughtering of townsfolk.”
Peter: “I think I did one time. Accidentally, though.”
Rodney: “I keep a tally chart in my basement.”

10) Hate anyone?
Harp: “I haven’t found a reason to hate anybody. Hate’s a waste of time.”
Paul: “I hate Lingar, I hate Peter, I hate Yinny… Well, I’m just annoyed with them really, it hasn’t grown into a full hate as of yet.”
Max: “I haven’t a reason to hate anyone. Peace and love is the way to be, mate.”
George: “I’m not in a position to hate anybody. I’m on the bottom of the hierarchical chain, the scum on the heels of everyone’s boot. The peon or peasant who must follow orders if he wants to survive. This is the life I have been given, and I must obey. Maybe one day I will find peace and happiness.”
Peter: “Nawww… I LIKE EVERYBODY! Well, except Paul who wants to kill me. That kinda stinks.”
Rodney: “I am hell-bent on destroying my parents! They are the bane of my existence. If I destroy them before they create me, I won’t have to live though this life.”

11) Any Secrets?
Harp: “I have nightmares about giving my best performance onstage, played it off without a hitch, beautifully. I look down passed the pits, and the entire audience has disappeared. I fear being a failure in showbiz. It’s the thought that really wakes me up at night, that I may one day get too old or get wiped out by competition, and wind up being one o’those hobos living in tents along the Hollywood expressways, snatching purses and bags around Grauman’s in broad daylight. *shiver*”
Paul: “I have plenty of secrets. I’ll have to sit down and tell them to you one day.”
Max: “If I told you, it wouldn’t be a secret anymore. But that was a clever shot, indeed!”
George: “I have a few secrets. But, they are all about other folks. I cannot tell you or they would strangle me!”
Peter: “I can transform into a big, mean werewolf-dalmation!”
Rodney: “Some ninnies do not know my name, let alone why I am pummeling them.”

12) Love Anyone?
Harp: “Not yet. *shy laugh* I’m still waiting for my one true love.”
Paul: “Stacy Huskwolf, that adorable gil. She’s the apple of me lil eye.”
Max: “Maxsiean! She’s a fun, ole gal!”
George: “Tena. She’s muh like me in many ways. I luv ‘er dearly.”
Peter: “I like girls. They’re great!”
Rodney: “Love clouds the mind with unmentionable sicknesses. Unfortunately, Joslyn is smitten with me and won’t ever LEAVE. I’m intrigued by her persistence and her eagerness for learning my craft. I cannot seem to destroy her like other girls.”

13) How smart are you?
Harp: “I haven’t had much use for school. I’ve been thrown out of too many classroom windows to really know. All I ended up learning was that bullies are hard to get passed, and 101 different ways to fall without getting hurt.”
Paul: “I know enough to get by. It’s all about survival.”
Max: “I haven’t been tested, but I think I’m a genius. If I’m not, oh well.”
George: “I’m very book smart, I read much of my time. Though, Paul always tells me what to do, he’s so smart. He comes up with all the plans.”
Peter: “…. Huh? Uh.. Well, Paul says I’m one taco short of a combination plate.. I dunno what it means, but it’s fun to say!”
Rodney: “I have a better grasp of the English language than most. I never let anyone have an opportunity to know how much of a fool I could be, the key is not to speak and scare them away. Though, I do know a fair amount of chemistry and science.”

14) Ever slept in All day?
Harp: “No, my body would fall apart if I got more than 8 hours of sleep.”
Paul: “I was once so drunk, I didn’t get up tip 8pm the next morning! Followed by a hangover the size of an elephant.”
Max: “Are you kidding? It’s what I LIVE for! There is no better way to skip classes than to sleep through them.”
George: “I sometimes get so scared I pass out. But I don’t believe you meant that. I usually can only sustain 8 hours of sleep. Any more than that and I may get a headache. My day is regimented into sections so that every day my time is used properly and I get the best out of each day. See? *shows you a chart*”
Peter: “Sometimes I don’t know if I’m sleeping or not. I just, like, fall over and sleep, and then dream about being awake. It’s really crazy!”
Rodney: “No, there is so much that I must do.”

15) Favorite Show?
Harp: “I love olios and variety stage shows! They are like talent shows, who knows what’s on next! Sometimes you get really crazy acts too, folks that don’t belong on the stage but crave some kind of attention and create the most awesome and awful act you could possibly imagine!”
Paul: “I’ve been known to watch the Dick Van Dyke Show and What’s My Line.”
Max: “Ed Sullivan always delivers, doesn’t he? You get it ALL. Opera singers, dancing bears, performings dogs, great bands, puppetry, and daring fetes. All in the same night, mind ye. It’s great! I love seeing the latest on Hullabaloo and ”
George: “I like mysteries like Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and game shows like Password and What’s My Line.”
Peter: “I like cartoons and puppet shows. I swear they are so REAL!”
Rodney: “I don’t own a television set.”

16) Favourite Movie?
Harp: “Any film Buster Keaton ever did. The Playhouse was a good one because he invented a special attachment for the camera that allowed him to duplicate himself 9 times! It was amazing! The film that made me go out and purchase a camera was, of course, The Cameraman. It made me want to do what he did, go out and record great cinematic shorts of the world around me, and do it for MGM!”
Paul: “Oh, I dunno. “A Hard Days Night was pretty funny.”
Max: “Magical Mystery Tour. It provided music, travel, fantasy, a story, and porn, all in one film. It was truly brilliant.”
George: “I enjoyed many films. I don’t go to the cinema often though.”
Peter: “I like the cartoons. Looney Tunes is so cool!”
Rodney: “Don’t ask me.”

17) Favorite Band?
Harp: “Oh I love Jelly Roll Morton, Cliff Edwards, and Django Reinhardt! Its always a treat when Buster Keaton sings and plays the uke, and also when Harpo Marx plays the harp or pennywhistle, it’s beautiful!”
Paul: “The Beatles are good, also the Monkees, Moody Blues, Hermans Hermits, and Mamas and Papas. I’m friends with lots of tribute bands of those.”
Max: “Beatles, of course. And Moodies are great!”
George: “Cultural bands. Every culture has a ‘sound’ and I love to explore the diversity of them all. Also rock n roll and blues is always a favorite. Though, I can’t pick one, they’re all wonderful.”
Peter: “I dig oldies, Jimi Hendrix is the greatest!”
Rodney: “Chamber music or heavy metal.”

18) Eye Colour?
Harp: “My eyes are as green as the leaves on a peppermint plant.”
Paul: “Mahogany brown, technically.”
Max: “Light brown.”
George: “Hazel.”
Peter: “reddish brown”
Rodney: “Crimson red.”

19) Fur?
Harp: "Orange, white, and black. Cream and maroon tail."
Paul: "Sienna brown and white."
Max: "Cool grey. My ears are light grey with little strands of black in it. Really groovy."
George: "Dark brown and white."
Peter: "I'm a dalmatian!"
Rodney: "Look up a photo of your average Burnese mountain dog."

20) Fat/Average/Slim?
Harp: "I'd like to say that I am physically fit, boy! More than the average person. I mean, I play baseball every day and do acrobatics, so I oughta be! Though I try to cover up my body with big clothes to give me an Everyman appearance, so they don't look at me and say that it's so surprise I can do stunts cuz I'm built like a powerhouse."
Paul: “Small Paul was my nickname. I’m thin, short, and have enough of what I need to get by.”
Max: "I've been called a gentle giant. Take that as you see it."
George: "Underweight. Numerous times I've been told to eat more and that a healthy person shouldn't have visible ribs."
Peter: "I'm not fat or a slim-jim! So I guess I'm average, whatever that means."
Rodney: "Shut up."

21) Rain, sunshine?
Harp: "Rain is sweet and sad like a pitter-pattering ballad or jass song. You can dance with it, or feel remorse in it."
Paul: “*sings* Goood daaaay Suuuun-shiiiine! I feel good, and when the sun is out, I got some-thing I can, laugh about.”
Max: "Rain. Nothing makes the people run to their houses like it. My favorite is when a golden sunset shines through the rain."
George: “”
Peter: "I like both, the sun is warm and happy, and the rain makes things smell better."
Rodney: "Tornado weather. Green skies. Strong winds. Lighting bolts. Swirling clouds tossing cars as if they were micro-machines. Raw power of the Earth."

22) Pool, Beach?
Harp: “ool! It’s also a great game. But seriously, I keep myself in shape by swimming in pools, doing laps.”
Paul: “The beach is great, I guess. I don’t get a chance to swim very often.”
Max: “The beach is great. Go sailing, look out over that sea of waves. Go sailing forever… Tis a beautiful sight, I must say.”
George: “Oh I don’t agree with either. The beach is a cesspool for fish, and the pool, despite there being chlorine, is a cesspool for humans. It’s a very unclean place, swimming holes.”
Peter: “My sister doesn’t let me go near the water. She says I’ll drown myself. Pools are pretty.”
Rodney: “I do not swim.”

23) Camping, staying home?
Harp: “I’m all about camping! I love to go whenever I can. Even as a kid, I often camped outside in my favorite tree. I’d always try to go as long as I could without having to go into the house and get something. Really try to survive off the land. The longest I lasted was 5 hours. I really had to go to the bathroom.”
Paul: “I’ve often camped at our caboose hide-out in the field. It’s great.”
Max: I’m too lazy a creature to go camping. But, if someone else is planning it, sure. I’ve often thought it’s a good way to commune with nature.
George: “With the BUGS? NO. Insects wait for you to come out to places like those, and then they hunt for your blood and suck it or hide in your sleeping-bag! AHHHHHH!!! *runs around panicked*”
Peter: “I have to stay home and babysit my brothers and sisters.”
Rodney: “Camping is lowering yourself to being without all the things science has provided. It’s disgusting.”

24) Dog, Cat?
Harp: “Dogs! They are hyper, eager to learn, and loveable! I’d love to fit one into my act. My best friend is a dog, actually.”
Paul: “Dogs can do tricks! Dogs are groovy!”
Max: “I’m a dog, but I prefer cats as pets. They have musical voices, some of’em.”
George: “Cats are level-headed, loving individuals that tell you just what they want when they want. I need a pet who can do that.”
Peter: “I’m a dog!”
Rodney: “Dogs have far too short attention spans to be of any use. Cats are my minions.”

25) Believe in aliens?
Harp: “You mean the illegal aliens that cross the border every year? Yeah, there’s photographic evidence of them. Most of them are in New York, ha ha.”
Paul: “What?”
Max: “Man, anything can exist out there! It can’t be just us here. Ya know?”
George: “If there were only life on Earth, it’d be an awful waste of space! Don’t you agree?”
Peter: “ALIENS?? THEY’RE COMING TO EAT OUR BRAAAAAAAIIIIIINZ!”
Rodney:

26) Natural Born, or Clone?
Harp: “What’s cloning? Oh wait, don’t they do that with plants?”
Paul: “If cloning is possible, please don’t clone Peter. We don’t need another one. Ta.”
Max: “Let it be natural. It’s what was meant to be. Otherwise, everyone would be a twin. Nobody I know should have the burden of having a twin of them self. This room is too cool for a second Max.”
George: “Oh, cloning is so fascinating. But I can’t imagine having a clone to mirror your own ugliness and tolerate their habits.”
Peter: “I’d like another me! We could make shadow puppets and sing duets!”
Rodney: “I’ve cloned a few things before. I wasn’t satisfied with the results.”

27) Car, Airplane or Ship?
Harp: "Oh airplanes are the bees knees! I would love to fly and see the ground from up above, what beauty! I got a flivver, but the only enjoyment I get outta her is when I go sightseeing in old towns where it's allowed to fly at a full 35mph. I know, what a wow, eh? She's a real lemon but for what it's worth, she's putt-putted her way to a lot of places. Personally trains have always been my transportation of choice, they are my favorite in every way. Some people collect model cars or airplanes, I collect model trains."
Paul: “There’s been some great cars, muscle cars are great.”
Max: "After what hap'ned to Buddy Holly, I prefer to stay out of airplanes. Cars take too long. Speedboats are fun, and cruises are relaxing.I guess I'm a sea-dog at 'eart."
George: "I'd rather walk, but even then you can get hit by a car, airplane or ship. It happens!"
Peter: "I like cars. Cars are cool. OH! And bugs and buses! If they let me drive, I'd get a VW bus and park it someplace and live in it."
Rodney: "Destroy them all."

28) Ever destroyed something out of Blind Rage?
Harp: “I’ve destroyed things without rage being involved. So many accidents. I’ve never hit somebody purposely, if that’s what you’re getting at.”
Paul: “I’ve been known to do so.. yeah. Blind rage usually means transforming into a were-beast. I don’t really have any control of it, it just ‘appens.”
Max: "Is that a band? I think we opened for them once."
George: "I'm the one who often usually gets beat up. I think I know why, I don't think too highly of meself, so why would anyone else?"
Peter: “I did once, but I don’t remember what happened.”
Rodney: “There were so many times. You’ll have to be a bit more specific.”

29) Any Unusual Things about you?
Harp: “I can bend into a pretzel, I can fall without breaking my neck and do a poetic twisting headstand-flip. You’d have to see it to understand. I also play pennywhistle and ukulele.”
Paul: “I like white wine. I know I’ve said it before. Oh, and I have had metal claws infused into me paws. When I get really angry”
Max: "I got me heart in a crystal. It sounds like a bloody lyric but I'm dead serious."
George: "I am a perfectionist. My therapist also says I'm dangerously agoraphobic. She's right, you know."
Peter: “I LOVE shinies! I hoard shinies! And peace-sign on my headband glows in the dark!”
Rodney: “I never take off my cloak. It conceals my mysterousness.”

30) Do you believe in reincarnation?
Harp: “I don’t know. I like the idea of there being something I coulda once been. Maybe I was somebody famous?”
Paul: “I was once a prince, believe it or not. In a past life.”
Max: “I might’ve been John Lennon in a past life. Yeah, right. Hahahaha! No. I don’t think so.”
George: “Our family was known as being of another planet, the Huskwolf family also. We were once of royal blood! Though, there was a war, and we were obliterated. Paul and I came out of hiding, I found only the remains of my mothers purple dress and I wear a bit of it as a scarf. It is a reminder of our past and my beloved parents. Then we were killed, to then arrive on Earth, and my scarf had been kept.”
Peter: “I like flowers, they’re so pretty! Especially reincarnations!”
Rodney: “That would explain why those I destroy seem to come back to haunt me in a new form..”

31) Favorite Place?
Harp: “My climbing tree. It’s a huge tree that sits on the edge of our lot. I love to watch the folks go by and watch the sun go down with my best buddy, Hokum.”
Paul: “I like our gang hide-out. It’s an old abandoned caboose, I have an office in the upper loft with cameras spying out the jail cells below. The view from there is spectacular! Especially on a beautiful night, I love to sing when I’m alone.”
Max: “I like the docks. They were once owned by my Ole Man. He was a fisherman and owned a boat. I usually hang out at the boat house. I’ve practiced my guitar there many a time; it has surprising acoustics in there.”
George: “I haven’t formed an attachment to any one place; nobody treats me well anywhere I go. Paul makes me sleep in the kitchen at the gang hide-out.”
Peter: “I like our house, my 99 brothers and sisters live in it. Its only got a living room, kitchen, and my parents bedroom. But, there’s always somethin’ going on!”
Rodney: “My domain. It is an old Victorian house built into the side of a hill. Inside, the front part of the house is gothic, the back is a cave with stairs leading down to my laboratory.”
