Things you would *never* catch Tamora Pierce characters saying

I know I haven't written much Hanging On lately – I've been up to my eyeballs in mock exams (about as much fun as being suspended over bubbling acid), so I came up with this...I was just thinking (yeah, it happens!)…maybe I'll add to this sometime…

Please don't take offence – all is meant in jest.

Things you would *never* catch Tamora Pierce characters saying...

Ozorne:

  1. Maybe I *shouldn't* try to be an evil dictator...
  2. Did all that violent murdering smudge my eyeliner?
  3. You have no idea how hard I work to keep my image this squeaky-clean
  4. Making evil flesh-eating monsters? Maybe it was a bit over the top.
  5. I'm actually just a big softie really.

Roger

  1. Maybe I shouldn't leave my evil voodoo dolls lying around
  2. I use L'Oreal. Because I'm worth it.
  3. Inoculation ruined my world take-over bid.
  4. Phenomenal magical powers...complete lack of common sense
  5. Next time I forge my own doom, the Lioness doesn't get to take the credit.

Joren

  1. Oil of Olay keeps my skin looking soft and beautiful
  2. I'm gay.
  3. I express my inner trauma through wanton acts of prejudice and violence.
  4. Keladry, marry me!
  5. I'm actually a natural brunette

Love to hear what you think!
