Quick Guide to Asking a Question:

• Whoever told you the only stupid question is the one unasked was lying. Please be sure your question has not been asked before by reading the archives.

• Don't ask about characters' love lives. It got old around the fifth time. Also try to avoid questions involving personal grief such as death. Most characters won't answer them freely anyway. It's only natural for people to clam up when faced with such serious issues.

• Avoid questions about future plots. All will be revealed... in due time.

• Edwina is the resident vampire expert. We'll try to get her to come back again. In the meantime, feel free to submit vampire questions, just realize they may not be answered for a while.

• Feodor passionately hates questions about mythical creatures, most of whom do not exist, and will go off on you for asking them. We can't stop him. Sorry.

• Questions about Elven society, language, everyday life, etc., are fair game. So are questions asking for advice on a subject.

• No matter how much they would like to, the cast cannot guarantee appearances or personal requests. We'll try our best to make them happen, though!

• We're really nice people, we're just cranky and irritable and usually very tired. :\ TBE has a harsh schedule!

Emiko: Well, I have some very important news. Today is my last day as moderator for Ask an Elf. I have decided to turn it over to a good friend of Orriole's, Hrairgen lisht Vralshreet ken, who's so brainy he's nicknamed "Copernicus." ... Though that just could be because he's said to spend too much time staring at the sky. Also, Pinkerton has agreed to stay on a permanent fixture, so now you're questions will be answered by a celebrity panel including Hirschel, Orriole, Feodor, Pinkerton, and Hrairgen! Feel free to keep asking about the behind-the-scenes comic stuff, as I'm sure one of the guys will be more than happy to give you an answer. We'll continue to have special guests, too. I hear the next one coming up will be Edwina, so send your questions in if you've got any for her. Also, Kiprilla will hopefully be appearing a few weeks after that. Anyway, it's been fun, and I'm sure you'll enjoy having Copernicus as your host for the next ten or so rounds. We'll probably have a new host after that, too! And we're planning on having a guest week for characters from the Elf and I as well. Anyway, on with the questions.

Feodor: Wait!

Emiko: ?

Feodor: Hirsch, Orri and I got you something. A little going away present!

Emiko: I'm not really going anywhere, you guys know. I'll still be living in the same house with you.

Feodor: Well, yeah, but give us this little token of appreciation for all your hard work.

Orriole: Yes, you have done a wonderful job, filia mea.

Pinkerton: Some digressions excepted, of course...

Hirschel: Shut up or you die, pink-hair.

Emiko: Why do I get the feeling you guys aren't going to behave while I'm gone?

Feodor: Don't worry. We'll behave in your memory. Anyway, here. *holds out a lumpy package wrapped in shiny paper with about fifteen different bows of various skill tied around it*

Emiko: Oh, gee, I'm almost afraid to open it. *listens* No ticking, so it's not a bomb...

Hirschel: Oh, open it already!

Orriole: We made it ourselves.

Emiko: Well, since it's from you, Ori-pa, I trust whatever it is won't kill me... *grins and struggles to tear the ribbons and bows off* Oh, dear, you guys shouldn't have... You really shouldn't have.

Hirschel: I put the orange peels on. *beams*

Feodor: I found the old buttons in the alleyway!

Emiko: ... A mutant potato pet?

Orriole: Do you like it?

Pinkerton: I wish to make perfectly clear the fact that I had nothing to do with this.

Emiko: Uh, thank you very much guys. Yes, I like it. *makes a mental note to "free the mutant potato pet" once this is over* Well, now we'll begin! First question. May I do a guest page sometime?

Feodor: Guest page information can be found here. The only way to do a page is to watch the thread and wait for one to pop up.

Emiko: There will be some new ones soon, I promise. I just need to finish drawing some things I left blank. So, next up. Has anyone from TBE ever been in Hungary?

Feodor: Sure, I go there once in a while.

Hirschel: Yes, I have been there.

Orriole: As have I.

Pinkerton: No.

Emiko: Well, I guess that's an affirmative. Looks like most everyone present has been there. Here's an interesting question. Have you seen that a race in Star Trek look amazingly like elves? The Vulcans, pointy ears, masters of logic, and they even do some mind based tricks. There is even a think like "dark" elves referring to the Romulans of course. Well? Terran SFi or an other parallel universe?

Feodor: First, there's no such thing as a "dark" elf. There are elves with darkness as their element, but not "dark elves." Second, of course it's science fiction! It was created by Gene Roddenberry!

Pinkerton: I would hardly consider elves to be master of logic or purveyors of mind tricks.

Feodor: Tch, quiet, you. Also, we don't look like Vulcans! for one thing, Vulcans have really small ears, not even fit for a half-elf! And don't they all have black hair and funny eyebrows?

Emiko: Prettymuch, yes.

Feodor: I resent being called a Vulcan.

Emiko: *whispering* He's not a big Star Trek fan. *coughs* Well, the next question is directed to Magnus, but I'm sure one of you can answer for him. Magnus: you ever played with matches as a kid?

Feodor: Magnus is still a kid. No shakri'pah, remember?

Orriole: Ah, elves do not use matches, most especially fire magi, who are able to create fire at their fingertips.

Hirschel: If I'm not needed, I'm going to go eat some of that chocolate that is downstairs... *wanders off*

Emiko: Save me the caramel ones! And last question for today. Urgh, it's yours, Pinkerton. Answer or don't, your choice. Pinkerton, ever dreamed of flying?

Orriole: *looks shocked*

Pinkerton: *grits teeth* I decline to answer that.

Orriole: I cannot believe... It is simply... *shakes head* We are done for the day, then, and that is that.

Emiko: Well, once again, it's been fun! Come back next time for more Ask an Elf!

Feodor: Or don't come back, in which case you'll miss out on the action and be left standing in a rainstorm with no umbrella...

Emiko: Huh?

Feodor: Er, goodnight everyone!
