Questions!

[sythyry]

I have to write an essay, and rather quickly. Therefore, I beg and intreat [sic] you, please ask me questions or leave me notes -- about anything -- anything, that is, except for padded armchairs. I have absolutely nothing to say about padded armchairs, not to you, nor to the other yous, nor yet to Prof. Yrrkyrr.

The padding on my armchair is tearing off.

Thank You For Your Helpful Note.

I shall send a nendrai over straightaway to rip it off completely, transform it into a large frozen crocodile, and insert it in your cloaca.

Why are unpadded stools so popular?

How does the Tree itself work as a plant? As in, how does it transpire, that stuff?

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Perhaps because they are of a size and shape convenient for thumping the askers of unwelcome questions about the head?

Um ... I suppose that your question is, technically, one that I asked for. So, instead, I answer it: Because Herethroy have highly armored rumps and do not mind the lack of padding, and, furthermore, because Herethroy have four legs and thus regard three-legged stools as their social inferiors and deserving of being sat upon.

My large black poodle keeps trying to steal my adorable knitted hedghog. I bet Jericho is just doing this so I'll buy him a leather couch of his own.

I would be interested in hearing more about styles of bread in your city. In particular, do bakers include meat or cheese in their loaves?

Are there any actual weather patterns around the World Tree? Every time I try to visualize things, I keep running into problems with trying to figure out what the cloud patterns/density have to be like.

My best concept at the moment is that the clouds tend to swirl around the tree in a roughly circular pattern and remain more or less at the same altitude. I am also assuming that the cloud density decreases the farther out from a trunk one is.

Which then, of course, begs the question of whether stools have society. Were they nendrai in disguise, perhaps they might have some form of it...

Why aren't Taptet's a prime species, and what is there place in the world besides unlucky upsurpers of despot rulers?

If you had enough destroc Magidor, could you theoretically destroy any matter, given that all matter is magic in a sense?

[goodluckfox.livejournal.com]

Have you ever met a Cyarr?

What is The Cheeses of Oorah Thrassen about? Could provide a short synopsis, or perhaps some critical commentary?

WHy does this feel like a game of Truth or Dare?

[allessindra.livejournal.com]

Have you ever played Truth or Dare? What was the most annoying question? What did you answer that you wish you hadn't? What was the most embarrassing dare?

Could Virid (IIRC, that's the creoc god) create something so large that even zie couldn't lift it?

[tuftears.livejournal.com]

And are there issues with spellcasters messing around with weather patterns? (re: butterfly causing hurricane on other side of the world)

[terrycloth.livejournal.com]

Could Virid create something so large that... er... that ruloc god... Reluu? Couldn't lift it?

I read somewhere that things can't be sustained beyond the ability of destroc to destroy, or destroyed beyond the ability of healoc to restore...

Can things be sustained beyond the ability of mutoc to alter or ruloc to control? Can they be changed beyond the ability of healoc to restore? Can you create something too heavy to move, too solid to change, or too fragile to preserve?

What are the practical disadvantages of wings, no matter what size you happen to be?

[terrycloth.livejournal.com]

I was also wondering how hard it would be to preserve a dead person's memories in some form... say, copy them into an exhaustive biography, that their reincarnation could read to re-learn their past life.

Are there any monsters that eat minds? If they float about like jellyfish after someone's killed, you'd think they'd be a tasty treat for the would-be well-educated horror.

How about methods for classifying animals and magical creatures?

[perlandria.livejournal.com]

Why armchairs? I doubt Orren ever sit so still as to need them, they get in the way of having many, many arms, the back is much better for perching. Really, about the only thing the arms are good for is to give Cani something to sniff.

There are plenty of traff folk around by the sound of it, but do any primes get the hots for monsters, to your knowledge? Have you met any?

How did the Holocaust Wars come about?
I'd like to read The Cheeses of Oorah Thrassen, especially wrapped inside a story of a group of primes trying to perform it.
What's known about how the first Primes were designed, and why a giant tree was chosen for the world's shape instead of, say, a ball of rock floating in space? Why a highly magic-dependant design instead of consistent physical laws; wouldn't the latter have been easier?

And Rassimel speaking style and living arrangements -- just-a-bit-more about that, if-you-don't-mind.

Has anyone ever seen the roots of the World Tree, or been to the highest branches -- and returned to tell of the journey?

I thought zir boyfriend's wife's lover was a monster?
