I'm sorry I haven't updated recently. This week was really busy because I had a concert and whatnot... But, it's done now, so I'll give you a spoof!

Also, I've been reading The Hunger Games again, so my mind is still thinking in first person, present tense, so apologies in advance if I made any mistakes.

So, this is the scene in Behemoth when Deryn finds Alek and Lilit, but from Lilit's POV

DISCLAIMER: Characters, dialogue, and whatnot aren't mine, but Scott Westerfeld's.

"Why don't we discuss it back in my room?" the prince suggested. Lilit could tell he still didn't trust her.

"Certainly," she replied as the two of them entered the grand hotel. "What are your plans?"

"My plans? Your father is in charge, not me." The elevator doors opened, and they stepped in.

"Yes, but you did express how necessary you are to the revolution, did you not?" Out of the corner of her eyes, Lilit noticed a sandy-haired boy holding a newspaper enter the elevator. She lowered her voice. "After all, your aristocracy will—"

"Enough of that, I—"

"Nice weather we're having," the boy said in English. He had an odd voice, and a presumably Scottish accent. The prince looked shocked. Did he know this boy? She took a closer look at him. He was rather good-looking.

"Dylan, in case you've forgotten."

"God's wounds! It is you! But what are you—"

"It's a long story." He glanced at Lilit. "And it's secret, actually."

"Ah, of course—introductions are in order..."

The two began conversing rapidly. As they reached Alek's floor, the boy gave her a hard look.

Who was he, anyways?

Sorry it's short, as I said, I haven't had much time. (I'm making up for it by writing an extra-long author's notes...)

And to answer the last question about The Last Olympian, there were two spots.

1. When Deryn was throwing knives at Alek's picture alluded to when Rachel was throwing darts at Percy's picture.

2. The pictures of Alek and the Hapsburg Crest were hinting at May Castellan's house, where she had pictures of Hermes and his caduceus pasted all over her kitchen walls.

Are they too vague?

Answer: Um...a teenage criminal mastermind who kidnapped a fairy and cheated the fairy people out of a lot of gold vs. the granddaughter of Charles Darwin who fabricated a giant flying whale and acid-spitting barnacles, to name a few... I really don't know...

Question: How do you properly pronounce Dummkopf?

Anyone like the idea of a Leviathan play on The Wizard of Oz?

Deryn stood up, blinking the of her eyes. Wait, sun? Last she remembered, there had been a twister. She looked around, and Tazza snuffled her hand. Nearby, she saw a cluster of small blue cottages. Next to her, a small crystalline stream trickled merrily.

"Tazza," Deryn said, turning to the thylacine. "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..."
