Character Questions Part I

(I had planned to post this last week, but computer issues delayed me. Hopefully everything is fixed now)

The Facebook party was a huge success! Thanks so much to everyone who came and played with us. I had so much fun! But, I know that not everyone could make it and, though I’m not giving away prizes, I wanted you to have some fun too!

Today’s post is part one of the character questions from the party. But why stop there? Do you have a question for a character that didn’t get asked? If so, put them in the comments and I will post them with Part II!

Now for the questions (and there are some good ones!)

Verchiel, if you wrote a personal ad what would it say?

Verchiel: “Single hot male vampire seeks female companion, immortality a bonus. I like video games, anime, and bright lights. Enjoy walks on the beach, especially if there’s a party going on. Own my own car and have my own digs, and not looking to move. Will reply to the first thirty eligible ladies, but I can only handle so many at once.”

For Micah. Do you Ever see yourself with a love interest? 

Micah: “WTF? Romance. Pfffft. Like I need all that flowery s**t and some woman nagging my butt off all the time. I mean, look at Oren. Look how what’s-her-nut used to boss him around before she got burnt to a crisp? Like I’d stand for all that.”

Loren (interrupts) “Ah, he talks a good game, but if he could find a burly trucker woman he’d be all over that!”

Micah: “Burly trucker woman? You pipsqueak! That’s not my type at all!”

Loren: “So you have a type!”

Micah: “Of course I have a type, numskull! And if I found it – maybe – MAYBE – I ain’t guaranteeing…”

Loren: ‘Uh-huh. Then I guess that’s your answer. “

Oren are you ever gonna stop being a stubborn ass and give it up? Etsuko should be worshiped the way she worships you.

Oren: “What?” *blinks* “I-she…um…”*clears throat uncomfortably* “No one asked her to.” *looks away uncomfortably and fiddles with his shirt button.*

Verchiel, any plans to make a fledgling?

Verchiel: “Eh, I dunno. It might be fun for awhile, I mean, if you could scrape them off, but what if you got stuck with them trailing around after you FOREVER?” *shivers* “But, I might already have some hidden away somewhere… or maybe not. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

Jorick if Patrick had not died would you have tried to meet Katelina, and if so how?

Jorick: “I’d like to say no and pretend to be honorable but yes, I would have. No doubt Patrick would have eventually needed relocated and I imagine he’d have taken her with him, or been open to the suggestion. Things would certainly have been messier, I’ll admit… Not that they weren’t anyway, which everyone would know if my lazy author would get the Patrick prequel edited.”

Jorick how do you plan to spend your life with Kately?

Jorick: “Hopefully in peace and quiet. I can’t imagine Eileifr wanting to keep me as an Executioner, so we are going to go home and I plan to lock the doors and refuse to let anyone in for the next decade!”

Jorick, will you ever wear any fancy COLORFUL clothing?

Jorick: “I have before…and no doubt Katelina will try to shove me into some eventually. I don’t understand women’s obsession with clothing. Once you find something comfortable, breathable, and flexible, why change? Of course, I’ve had to over the years, to an extent, as mortal clothing manufacturers have the same ridiculous illusion as women that wardrobes must be changed every couple of decades…*sigh* Have you tried to buy a comfortable pair of jeans lately?”

Katelina, if you could force Jorick to watch any chick flick as punishment, which would it be?

Katelina: “As punishment? Twilight.” *evil smile*

Verchiel, I wish you had been the one to turn Katelina… What is the one piece of advice you would give to a newly turned vampire?

Verchiel: “I’ll tell you a secret – my illustrious author had actually sort of planned that I would get to do it, until DM Yates asked an interview question about it (I still love Donna anyway *bats eyes*) and then the big lug was all excited and my author was all ‘hmmm’ and, well, you know the rest. Anyway… advice… I would tell them to relax, chill out, and have fun. They have eternity now so they might as well enjoy it.”

Samuel do you for see you and Katelina being together somehow with your ancient powers of knowledge .

Samael: “If you are implying romance, I have long given up seeking such a thing as the centuries have taught me the bitter truth of a lover’s betrayal. However, if you mean in the literal sense of occupying the same room, then yes, I believe we will see on another again. Perhaps to destroy the black demoness of evil.”

Author’s note: “He means Lilith”

Jorick, in the last book you didn’t know it was Katelina’s birthday. If you had remembered what would you have given her as a gift?

Jorick: “Hmmm. Apparently she is in need of jewelry, given her predilection for wearing that old necklace. If not that then I would have found something.Modern humans expect those things and I hate to see her disappointed. I suppose I’d have even done something for that wretched Valentines Day if I’d known.”

Jorick, are you concerned Katelina maybe stronger than you?

Jorick: ” Erm…well…” (Author prods him with a pointed stick) “Perhaps…a little…”

Verchiel what is your connection to Katelina?

Verchiel: Besides that whole blood sharing incident? (Author prods him as he sighs* I don’t know. It might be because she drank from Kateesha’s heart and Kateesha was my master…

For Verchiel: Being a ginger I tend to be the rump of ginger jokes, as a ginger vamp do you get ribbed about being ginger?

Verchiel: “Really? But being ginger is the best! I always assume they are coming from a place of jealousy because they know we are so awesome.”

Micah, do you think that your relationship with Lunch is making you soft? I mean, I think it’s great to see you adapt and care for her like you do, but you have to wonder if your rep has taken a hit.

Micah: “What? Caring? No way! Is that how it’s coming off? Pffft. I’m just tired of having to help the jack a**es save her all the damn time. If she wants to run with the wolves she needs some damn teeth. But caring… Bah!”

Loren: “Heh-heh. You are caring. Ha ha!”

Micah *gives Loren a noogie* “What the hell, kid? Now you’re turning on me? I ain’t no soft, mushy, caring kinda guy. Now shut up before I knock your teeth out.”

Verchiel, why do you pester everyone so much? Why are you so friendly to Katelina when you know it pisses Jorick off so bad?

Verchiel: I don’t pester people! I’m just fun…they all need to lighten up a little bit. I don’t know why they think immortality has to be sooooo serious! And I’m friendly to Kately because I’m a friendly guy! I can’t help it if Jorick gets jealous so easy! He’s one of those over-serious vampires I was just talking about.”

Katelina why did you meet a stranger out in the middle of nowhere? That’s dangerous these days!

Katelina: “That’s a good question, especially since I KNEW better. I’ve seen the movies, and the Facebook horror stories. I guess it was just too tempting to finally have answers to all of Patrick’s weirdness. I’d been… spending time with him for over a year by the time he was killed and there were so many things that didn’t make sense, and I guess I hoped that whoever had called me would be able to finally fit all those pieces together for me. That or else Jorick somehow hypnotized me, but he swears he can’t do that over the phone, so…”
