Me: Hi everyone! We have a very long, but great question and he also reviewed the first few chapters and I will comment back on those to, but on to the questions! Preston-Tour asks:
"1)It's your last supper; what do you eat?
2)What are your top five favourite songs of all time?
3)And to Larten specifically; My hero in life is Johnny Rotten (or John Lydon), lead singer of the Sex Pistols. He was renowned through the Punk era for his red tartan suits and orange hair. In that decade did you find people found your appearance a little more socially acceptable? No offence meant, I am pretty sure you know that having orange hair and wearing a lot of red is slightly unusual in human society (:
Also, is it coincidence that your surname has the same beginning as the word 'Crepuscular'? Especially since, you know, a crepuscular animal is that who is active during the twilight and just before the dawn, kind of like a vampire. It was on my word of the day calendar and sparked my curiosity'
Thanks for answering; hope the next chapter finds you all well and alive *looks at Erica hopefully*"
Larten: Thank you for asking sensible questions.
Me: But, I like the awkward questions.
Layla: Well, we don't.
Me:*rolls eyes* Moving on; he likes your answer about the fish, Larten.
Larten: *smiles* Naturally.
Me: While he also likes the platypus bits.
Layla: *grins proudly*
Me: *sarcastically* Thank you; there will be no living with them after this. Also; don't worry they'll be "getting it owwwwn" soon.
Layla: *sarcastically* Thanks for encouraging her. Does no one care about how I'm feeling about this?
Me: Oh hush, you! Anyway; the only thing about Ben's question was how it was worded. I can think of 15 better ways to say it, but it's all said and done. There was definitely an elephant in the room! It was a flying, purple elephant with pink polka-dots and IT WAS ON FIRE! That's how awkward it was.
Layla: *unenthusiastically* Nice…
Me: If you start saying "embrace your inner platypus" then I will join you! We will start a global trend! Now on to answer your questions!
Layla: Well…my last supper would contain a lot of vegetables. I love steamed vegetables, salads, and casseroles. Also, tea; I love tea! I would drink it all of the time when I was young. It brings back good memories.
Me: I see. Larten, how about you?
Larten: I would eat anything made by Layla; I adore her cooking. I have become very fond of her spaghetti and stews because that is normally what she makes during our travels.
Me: Spaghetti is so easy to make; whenever I'm really busy and my mom asks what's for dinner I always say spaghetti.
Layla: *giggles* I know, right? To answer your second question; my top five songs are
1) Awake and Alive by Skillet
2) Fix Me by 10 Years
3) Closer by Nine Inch Nails
4) Raining by Jacqueline Mannering
5) Raise Your Glass by P!nk
Larten: I have not listened to music in years and when I did it was all classical pieces to dance to. Art and music were never in my interests. However, I have a certain song that Layla sings that I never get tired of. Something about 'in my eyes' I remember.
Layla: *looks to Larten* In His Eyes from the musical Jekyll and Hyde. I sing it to him a lot.
Me: How sweet! The last question is for Larten. Go ahead.
Larten: I do not know who this John Laydon is, but he probably dyed his hair to gain attention. I, however, did not choose to dye my hair this color; it was done when I was a child. In fact, it was so long ago that I do not remember what my hair color was before. I wear red because it is my favorite color and my old master, Seba Nile, used to wear it all of the time. I do not find myself being stared at because of my hair; however, if you have noticed that kids today color their hair all kinds of shades.
Me: "Kids today," you sound so old!
Layla: Well, he is over 150 years old.
Me: However, he's right. My hair wasn't always blonde, it earlier this last year. Next I want black roots, silver hair, and red tips.
Larten: *rolls eyes* This boy thinks my hair is strange? Moving on to your next comment; yes, that is strictly coincidental. Mind you, I did not choose my surname.
Me: Darren Shan most likely planned it. That man is a genius, after all.
Larten: *confused* What are you talking about?
Me: …don't worry about it. No need to worry Preston-Tour; our happy couple will be fine…for now.
Layla and Larten: *Looks to each other worriedly*
Me: *smiles brightly* Congratulations, my friend! You have the longest chapter so far! Keep the questions coming! Also, I've started reading the Saga of Larten Crepsley and it is AWESOME! I just finished the fourth book (it just came out a few days ago). That's where I get some information, but I won't put any major spoilers here. We'll see you all later! Bye!
