Quick question (kind of stupid) but anywho. Orriole said that he didn't want Em using 'that word.' I'm assuming he meant Hades. <B>Why does Orriole not like 'that word' (assuming it's Hades)?</B> And if it makes him gloomy, will you tell him that I'm sorry I brought it up <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/frown.gif"> ? At least I'm not asking about his personal life too much. I could do worse. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"> I could create a poorly drawn piece of fanart starring him! Muah-ha-ha-ha-ha ::hack:: ::cough:: -ha! Wait, I think I see a hyper-dimentional Chesterfield sofa floating through my living room, gotta catch it and catch that last Krikkit, er Cricket match!

Hey Em! Feodor once said the questions don't need to be about elves, so here's one for you. If I remember corectly, you once said that the comic was a bit like Evangelion. In what ways? And if you can't answer that without giving the whole story away, is that good or bad?
Oh, yeah, and when is Magnus coming on? He's such a cutie^.^

Okay...some more questions from the resident bio major...
1) If elves and humans have common blood typing, is it safe to say that, should such a necessity arise, an elf could donate blood to a human of compatible type, and vice versa?
2) Do humans and elves have a common evolutionary predecessor? Where would faeries fit into all this?<P>To quote John Cleese in Monty Python, "And now for something completely different..."
3) Since this is an online manga, are there going to be any other anime/manga elements arising in the future (e.g., catgirls, giant mecha, Jusenkyo curses, etc.)?
4) What do you forsee in terms of crossover potential with other comics (e.g., with Sluggy Freelance, User Friendly, etc.)?

J'ai une questione pour vous. <B>Comment est que vous vous appellez vos meres et peres?</B><P>Oops, went into French again. Four years of high school French will do that to you. A rough translation is <B>What are the names of your mothers & fathers?</B> I suppose a literal translation is 'How do you call your mothers and fathers' but that sounds rather stupid. Hope I'm not prying into your storyline or anything, and that I don't make Orriole upset or anything (I seem to do that rather a lot). <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif"><p>[This message has been edited by Gillikin (edited 06-01-2001).]

^_^<P>Hmm.. Now its time for another question..
Again.. its directed at Hirschel.. <P><B>Hirschel, when would you like to go out? I'm sure I could convince Em to let us go out on a side comic or something? Heh? How about that?</B><P>And another one:<P><B> You're fangs are where it would hurt? Thats.. um.. different. If that's so.. then.. wouldn't sucking people's blood and eating hurt you?</B><P>
Like I said before Emily, as long as you've got me around.. there'll be plenty of questions for Ask an Elf! ^_~<P>Oh! And one more.. <P><B>Talia.. How did it feel to stay in Yuki's dresser drawer? Were you comfortable? Was it okay?</B><P>Okay! That's all for now! And thanks for asking and answering my questions!!!!!!!!1<P>^_^<P>------------------

Just a note: the next five questions posted here will go to Orriole and Vashti, so if there's anything you'd like to ask them in particular, now's your chance!<P>~Em

Hey, I've got a question for Vashti. #1 <B>Both you and Oreo are hunters, have you ever worked together, or perhaps were seeking the same target?</B>
And question #2 This last one is for both of you: <B>What was your favorite assignment as a hunter?</B>
Thanks!

Andrew, you're a little late. We already covered that one. :P Check the archives.

OHHH, that last question inspired me^.^v
Vashti, what is the worst thing you've ever done to someone who commented on your ears? (I hope I don't get too scared by the answer ^^;;;)<P>------------------

I took your question, Eclipse/Kristy? <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/eek.gif"> I'm sorry. I ask enough questions around here, I should probably let someone else ask a few every now and then. Oh, one thing, are you quite certain that you want to ask Vashti about her ears? I'd imagine that it's a very delicate subject. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"> I prefer to remain in one piece, myself.

Konnichiwa!
I have two questions.
<OL TYPE=1>
<LI>To Feodor:Before when you were fighting Hirschel on "Ask an Elf" in german you called him a fatsack(or was it fatstack?). So does this mean that he's actually over weighted in your viwe?
<LI> <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/redface.gif"> To everyone: Do you believe in love at first sight?
</OL>
Mata, Asdita! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/tongue.gif">

Okay, with respect to the "humans can't do magic" statement...didn't Orriole mention something about humans who are either born or spend prolonged periods of time in the elven realm? Admittedly he said they acquire *small* amounts of magic, but that seems more than "can't do magic."<P>PS: Skywise rocks!

I got my question answered again! Thank you O Elven authorities. I have another question for you. <P>"Does he ever stop asking questions?"<P>Hey, go back to your corner and sit down. Sorry, it's the car key gnomes who live in my house. They never do what they're told. (They're the ones who hide your car keys every morning.)<P>Ahem my question is <B>What happens to a fairy when his/her elf dies. Do they get a new elf or do they die to?</B>
I hope they don't die <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/frown.gif">

Konbanwa! Watashi wa Mars desu! ^_^
Anyway, my question:
Why hasn't Ori-san hit anyone yet? The questions got pretty.... interesting... but he has managed to keep his cool. Doesn't he have access to weapons or something? Mallet, mace, anything that does some damage?<P>------------------

YAY!<P>I get to go out with Hirschy! ^^<P>hehe!<P>um.. anyways.. the onslaught of questions..<P>Vashti, why don't you like people talking about your big ears? I think they're cool. If I were you I'd be proud to have the biggest ears!<P>Orriole, for how many years have you been a hunter.. and when did you start this position? And.. could you tell us your biggest mistake you've ever made (I'm sure you've made at least ONE) as a hunter?<P>To all.. I've been reading Fellowship Of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.. I'm about halfway through.. and the book mentions Orcs.. what race of what are they? They never tell you in the book or even in the "prologue". so what's so bad about them??? I was also wondering if you've met or conferred with Hobbits in your parallel dimension. (I'm asuming its a parallel dimension) Thankyou for answering these!<P>See you later Em!<P>Feodor: ACK! I'm supposed to answer all of these!??? *falls down*<P>BYEEE!!<P><P>------------------

I have more questions! I've got dozens of them just stashed around the house, and I came across a couple today. <P><B>Who is Hirschel's fairy, and what is he/she like?</B> and <B> We've all heard about the charming sister of Hirschel, but could you tell us a bit about Edvina? Is she a vampire, too?</B><P>Thanks!

Mr. Pinkerton, eh?

What is your opinion of Feodor's energetic little fairy?</B>
