Questionnaire #3 - Background
Tell us about...
1. I was born in Rahell, in Arunafeltz. You've probably never been there. I'm not really supposed to tell you that, even. I'm sorry, guys, but, it's just a questionnaire, right? Who's going to read it?
It's a really pretty city. It looks like Lighthalzen except not so phony - like, there's heart in it's richness, I guess. We don't have a low-town 'cuz we're too rich not too. Because it's in a grassland there's not a lot of trees but when there are we really play 'em up. It's the biggest city in Arunafeltz, has a huge population... you're never really alone... the assisted living is a lot nicer than Low Town too... (how do you Schwarzwalderns and Midgardians write that anyway?! Is it low-town or Low Town? Oh fuck it.)
2. I used to chase frogs around a lot, when they were there... and I picked on the other kids if I even said anything at all in my Cathedral classes (when my mom didn't write me sick or I didn't skip... I didn't go a lot...) until I got bored and just tried not to pay attention... otherwise I worked with my mom... I get headaches thinking, like, for a while around twelve, I'm sorry. I had something bad happen to me, so I can't really always remember things. Please understand.
3. My dad's dead.
(is it okay to write this? No one's going to read it. It's a pretty common scandal in Arunafeltz... that Gray Mallory... well... he killed himself 'cuz he was a fag... they say his lover was his best friend Aatto... I don't believe them sometimes, but lately, I just learned to believe them... but people... they don't... he was... I'm not him, you know? I don't care if I act like him. I don't care! I don't do that kind of stuff!)
My mom's really protective, like. Her name's Agatha and she's totally pretty but she's like... okay, my dad hurt her pretty bad I guess, and then Aatto wasn't really there for her either, she doesn't trust guys. I'm the only guy she wants I guess, I couldn't really make too many friends and especially not any friends who were *boys* because what if I was my dad? Anyway... all the guys that came over I got rid of, you know, so they wouldn't hurt her... that's my mom I guess... she really wants me to get married and have kids. Ha.
4. What siblings?
5. Taranis hates the spiders here.
Okay, I don't live in the Cathedral anymore... did I ever tell you I lived there to begin with? I live in the Assasin's Guild and it's kinda nice. I guess, it's a little better than the Cathedral, but the people are worse. Used to be no matter how I was I'd always have someone to talk to, and I miss Cie-Cie and Mike, and I miss Lee and Isegrim and Sienna and Altair and everyone I miss everyone. But you know, the Assasin's Guild, they're really good to us, feed us whatever we want, always food in the kitchen. They're really all about pushing you though. Much more immature than the Cathedral.
It's hot here and there's a lot of pretty places. Hot? I'd say humid, not hot... uh... rainy. Has a lot of spiders and wildlife. Douwe showed me this really pretty creek and I don't know. That was the first time I felt okay here.
I feel okay here now.
