40 Questions I need answered really bad:
(I have decided I can no longer leave these questions unanswered as I hate it when my curiosity is not sated and it begins to claw at me like a starving cat that has decided that it’s person is now an adequate meal. Originally I was going to just ask you 20, but then they just kept piling up, so here are all of my questions, all at once. I have no problem if you decide to respond to many of them with a N.A. for ‘Not Available’ or ‘Not Answering’. I’d be totally okay with that, the ravenous cat however, may take issue. Please help me out here…)
1. Do Kip & Drake realize that they are from two different dimensions?
2. Do Kip & Drake even know that they’ve been bouncing between two different dimensions?
3. When will (BS)Cecil meet Ben?
4. What does “the After” Golbez look like because I really wanna know? *Mwahahahahahahahahehehehehehehackcoughquipquipquipquip* (Evil laugh becoming hysterical, can’t breathe but still going)
5. When are either of the Cecil’s going to realize what’s going on?
6. What would happen if/when the two Cecils met?
7. Is it possible for Ben to trap someone by having them fall in perpetual motion between two rifts, one placed over the other so that when the said someone falls into the bottom one, they come out of the top one and right back through the bottom one…(It would be so funny…*Return of evil, hysterical laughter that just keeps going despite lack of oxygen…*)?
8. Does Wayrift have Ductape? Because all of your characters would find interesting uses for Ductape…
9. Assuming that Drake, Kip and Zazo eventually become good guys (and girl) before the end of the story, who will be the new bad guys after them?
10. How well will Ben take finding out about who Chaur (Chase/Aur) really is?
11. When will there be more Twinkie and Q-Tip jokes…?
12. Can I use “Dark Wizard Benjamin” in a story of mine which has nothing to do with Final Fantasy, Wayrift or anything like that? I just think that it is a cool name for a Dark Wizard/Prince who is really a good guy but has a really bad first name and would rather use his middle name, which is the Benjamin.
13. Can I use a character based loosely off of Leona’s personality in a totally unrelated story of mine? Never before have I considered the hilarity of such a likeable stubborn brat.
14. Why does Aiden KluYa never wear shoes?
15. Will you ever show Ben without his shirt?
16. Will you ever have a part of Wayrift where they are celebrating Halloween (I think you called it Spook Night) and they are dressed as their once (or current) enemy, dressed as their current (or future) lovers, or just in pretty, pretty dresses? (Please the last one!)
17. How will the “Dead People” come back? Are they not really dead or, is there a whole in the Afterlife, is there some crazy guy resurrecting people, or what?
18. Will Zeb ever be cured of his paranoia and hatred of his father?
19. Are there any more dimensions (other than pocket dimensions) that are going to be added to Wayrift?
20. Is anybody going to die? (Warn me first because I really hate it…) Oh, and Red Shirts don’t matter in this…
21. What is spinerat meat like?
22. Is MKY ever coming back from the dead?
23. Umm…What is the source of Ben’s money? (It seems that he is always asking to put it on his tab, and he appears to not have a job…)
24. Is Aiden evil? (or is it all in Zeb’s head?)
25. Is Kory going to get High Treason for stealing (BS)Cecil’s sword? (I have no idea as to how he is going to wriggle out of this)
26. What does the name ‘Golbez’ mean in Lunarian? I think it means something as all names do and it probably ain’t ‘Blood-sucking Pigeon Fly’ because no parent would name their kid something so bad (well, then again, Zeromus named his kid ‘the Bane’ so I suppose he would, but somehow I doubt either of the KluYas are evil enough to do it too).
27. Is (DS)Cecil’s Mother-in-Law running around nagging Rosa about marrying the Dark Knight who happens to also be the brother of Golbez, the Dark Lord and Destroyer of Nations, (I can just see her going on about that and I suspect that she would really hate Ben) instead of Kain?
28. Is there anyone else who has a rifting ability besides Ben, Zeb, Aiden, Zazo, Zemi, and Tai?
29. How does (DS)Cecil feel about dragons? He doesn’t appear to have a dragon’s head mounted on the wall like (BS)Cecil does.
30. How will Cid react to Leona marrying Ben in the future?
31. Does (DS)Cecil realize that Ben’s mental age is somewhere younger than Leona is? He seems to think he is dealing with a competent adult.
32. What is everybody’s favorite color?
33. Is Kip going to be cured of his Omega-ness?
34. Will Ben ever learn how to swim?
35. Will Ben ever remember his childhood?
36. Is that Niamh kid you showed awhile back Ben and Leona’s future kid? He is so cute! (He is a he, right?)
37. What kind of magic is Ben best at?
38. Can Leona use any magic?
39. Who was Leona’s mother?
40. Will the people of the BS Dimension ever find out the truth about (their) Golbez?
Could someone please answer these (on hands and knees)… I don’t like being eaten by cats…

1. Do Kip & Drake realize that they are from two different dimensions?
~I think they realize something is fishy, but don’t quite “get” the whole dimensional thing just yet.
2. Do Kip & Drake even know that they’ve been bouncing between two different dimensions?
~ See above answer.
3. When will (BS)Cecil meet Ben?
~ All in good time.
4. What does “the After” Golbez look like because I really wanna know? *Mwahahahahahahahahehehehehehehackcoughquipquipquipquip* (Evil laugh becoming hysterical, can’t breathe but still going)
~ http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/17596/1098514-the_after_years_golbez_new.jpg
5. When are either of the Cecil’s going to realize what’s going on?
~ Not for a long time. It’s better for their sanity that way.
6. What would happen if/when the two Cecils met?
~ They gang up on the Golbei and geek out about airships, of course.
7. Is it possible for Ben to trap someone by having them fall in perpetual motion between two rifts, one placed over the other so that when the said someone falls into the bottom one, they come out of the top one and right back through the bottom one…(It would be so funny…*Return of evil, hysterical laughter that just keeps going despite lack of oxygen…*)?
~ Yes. Don’t give him any ideas!
8. Does Wayrift have Ductape? Because all of your characters would find interesting uses for Ductape…
~Yes. Ductape is universal. Like the Force.
9. Assuming that Drake, Kip and Zazo eventually become good guys (and girl) before the end of the story, who will be the new bad guys after them?
~ Syn always has bad guys up her sleeve, trust me. There’s many you don’t know about yet.
10. How well will Ben take finding out about who Chaur (Chase/Aur) really is?
~ It was a bit difficult for him at first, though he was mostly upset at the thought of Zemi’s meddling in the situation.
11. When will there be more Twinkie and Q-Tip jokes…?
~ When the time is right.
12. Can I use “Dark Wizard Benjamin” in a story of mine which has nothing to do with Final Fantasy, Wayrift or anything like that? I just think that it is a cool name for a Dark Wizard/Prince who is really a good guy but has a really bad first name and would rather use his middle name, which is the Benjamin.
~ I don’t own the name “Benjamin” or anything, but I’d rather you not use his total character design in another story. It’s better if you create your own figments anyhow. Trust me.
13. Can I use a character based loosely off of Leona’s personality in a totally unrelated story of mine? Never before have I considered the hilarity of such a likeable stubborn brat.
~ Leona’s not my character, so I don’t have a say. But we don’t own character personalities, so I’d say it’s wide open for you to expand upon in your own writing.
14. Why does Aiden KluYa never wear shoes?
~ He enjoys the feeling of the Blue Planet under his feet (so Syn says).
15. Will you ever show Ben without his shirt?
~ Yes, much to his embarrassment.
16. Will you ever have a part of Wayrift where they are celebrating Halloween (I think you called it Spook Night) and they are dressed as their once (or current) enemy, dressed as their current (or future) lovers, or just in pretty, pretty dresses? (Please the last one!)
~ Figments always dress up for Spook Night, though they tend to have their “favorite” costumes. I can’t recall all the things they’ve dressed up as in the past… though Tai tends to go as a Black Waltz.
17. How will the “Dead People” come back? Are they not really dead or, is there a whole in the Afterlife, is there some crazy guy resurrecting people, or what?
~ The Ways stretch across dimension and time. ^_~ No, but really, it’s different for each figment, so it’s something you’ll just have to see.
18. Will Zeb ever be cured of his paranoia and hatred of his father?
~ Time heals all things.
19. Are there any more dimensions (other than pocket dimensions) that are going to be added to Wayrift?
~ There are “Alt Dimensions” that exist, though none that play as big a part as DS and BS dimensions. Often, figments get sent to other dimensions to learn things, such as their own effect on the world, or how the world would be altered should certain events not come to pass.
20. Is anybody going to die? (Warn me first because I really hate it…) Oh, and Red Shirts don’t matter in this…
~ Yes. I try to keep Syn from killing off important figments, though. She threatens quite often.
21. What is spinerat meat like?
~ Tough and stringy.
22. Is MKY ever coming back from the dead?
~ *sigh* He really shouldn’t, but everyone else seems to.
23. Umm…What is the source of Ben’s money? (It seems that he is always asking to put it on his tab, and he appears to not have a job…)
~ He’s the Baronian Prince. I’m sure he gets a Princely allowance. Later on, however, he does earn h is own wages as the Headmaster of the Baronian academy.
24. Is Aiden evil? (or is it all in Zeb’s head?)
~ Aiden isn’t evil. He’s just not fully understood.
25. Is Kory going to get High Treason for stealing (BS)Cecil’s sword? (I have no idea as to how he is going to wriggle out of this)
~ No. But Kory is always in trouble with BSC, so this situation isn’t too unusual.
26. What does the name ‘Golbez’ mean in Lunarian? I think it means something as all names do and it probably ain’t ‘Blood-sucking Pigeon Fly’ because no parent would name their kid something so bad (well, then again, Zeromus named his kid ‘the Bane’ so I suppose he would, but somehow I doubt either of the KluYas are evil enough to do it too).
~ The theory you’re talking about is from very old literature in our own world, and doesn’t reflect the meaning in Lunarian. In Syn’s stories, the name had a personal meaning to Aiden. In mine… well… I haven’t really thought about it.
27. Is (DS)Cecil’s Mother-in-Law running around nagging Rosa about marrying the Dark Knight who happens to also be the brother of Golbez, the Dark Lord and Destroyer of Nations, (I can just see her going on about that and I suspect that she would really hate Ben) instead of Kain?
~ No, that’s only BSCecil’s mother in law. One Lady Farrel is enough for Wayrift.
28. Is there anyone else who has a rifting ability besides Ben, Zeb, Aiden, Zazo, Zemi, and Tai?
~ Tai can’t rift, he can only flicker. Most Arweinydd and Sygnus types can rift, however. So, yes.
29. How does (DS)Cecil feel about dragons? He doesn’t appear to have a dragon’s head mounted on the wall like (BS)Cecil does.
~ DSCecil is alright with Dragons, as long as the Dragon isn’t threatening his people or kingdom.
30. How will Cid react to Leona marrying Ben in the future?
~ Cid is absolutely thrilled. Not only does he really like Ben, but he’s stoked that Leona is marrying into the royal family.
31. Does (DS)Cecil realize that Ben’s mental age is somewhere younger than Leona is? He seems to think he is dealing with a competent adult.
~ DSCecil does realize this, but needs to be reminded from time to time. He has a lot of unrealistic expectations when it comes to Ben. This can be due to the fact that Cecil, himself had to grow up quite fast.
32. What is everybody’s favorite color?
~ Too much to list! But if you look at how they dress, you can get a good idea.
33. Is Kip going to be cured of his Omega-ness?
~ I don’t know that “cured” is the right term. But he will eventually be able to take control of his own life, if that’s what you’re asking.
34. Will Ben ever learn how to swim?
~ Yes.
35. Will Ben ever remember his childhood?
~ Some of it.
36. Is that Niamh kid you showed awhile back Ben and Leona’s future kid? He is so cute! (He is a he, right?)
~ Niamh is a girl. Yes, she is Ben and Leona’s daughter.
37. What kind of magic is Ben best at?
~ Distortion and Shadow.
38. Can Leona use any magic?
~ No.
39. Who was Leona’s mother?
~ That’s a Syn question. All I know is that she was a Baronian White Mage.
40. Will the people of the BS Dimension ever find out the truth about (their) Golbez?
~ Some do. But even as of now, most do not know who Zeb is.

ok Sam, this is your big moment. Now, you could-
a) put that sack back on him and go find Kain
b) whack him with that broom your holding (that isn’t the same one Kip tried to defend himself with is it? I assume that one is probably in several pieces by now.)
c) run for the hills shouting like a madman and hope he doesn’t chase you (not likely)
d) all of the above
Or he could take pity on the highly dangerous but clearly badly mauled critter and try to help him… good luck…
Well luved! Give More?

Sam has a soft spot for badly mauled critters. But that doesn’t mean he’s all softie. ^_~
Give Luv:

I have a lot of examples of taking care of the badly mauled antagonist being a very bad idea. But since Kip isn’t your average evil antagonist, I suppose there’s the possibility he’ll be civil and polite.
(I would have called Kain instead, but I’m too genre savvy for my own good XD)
Give Luv:

I dunno. If I ever ran into one of my antagonists who was badly mutilated, I’d probably take care of them… then again, they’re my antagonists, so I’m biased. -_-
Well… unless it was Avalon. I’d kick him in the head and keep walking.

Or you could train him as a chef and employ him!

Yeah! Kip should work at Sams till he repays damage he caused!
I’m afraid though, that Ben should need to change his favourite pub due to new chef
I’d suggest to put magelock on Kip and then employ him as barrel-bearer, cleaning man or something suchlike. I don’t like my meal OMEGA-spitted!
Give Luv:

Oh, is THAT how it happened…
Give Luv:

You just might be on to something! ^_~ Then the question stands to answer, how do you subdue the OMEGA enough to MAKE him to work for humans… as a pub dishwasher? (Kip didn’t start out as a chef at Sam’s, he had to work up a few promotions.)

Hmmm…. Zento, Zazo, ‘Dako, Chase, Suzume, SoYa, AsaHi……

-Zento is a meat man. He likes his meat… meat of any kind.
-Zazo, while her design belongs to me, is actually played by Syn. Not sure what her favorite food is.
-Kudako prefer salads over anything.
-SoYa doesn’t have a favorite food, but he’s always drinking Nefolian tea when he has a chance.
-Chase, Suzume and AsaHi don’t have a preference that I know.
A few extras:
-Tai likes chicken noodle soup and popcorn.
-Zemi likes Cherry Poptarts.
-Cecil love tuna sandwiches.
-Ben has a thing for twinkies, of course. Though in his older age, he’s kinda grown out of it.

I dont know if I am seeing this wrong, but the new setup for our replies is a bit odd. Its nice that when we click reply it moves the typing area to where we are replying, but the change to totally vertical with the text centered is hard to read (especially the wall of text/questions up above).
Also, Kip cant work at Sam’s, he’s already been sacked

I like the way it is now better. I’m not sure about the black background–it’s not as bad now, but when there wasn’t anything to the sides it was as if I was staring into the Void or something.
Give Luv:

I don’t really like having the comments left-justified. It makes things feel off-balance. And I’m still not fond of having the comic surrounded by black.But that’s my preference.
Give Luv:
2
The buttons. The buttons are made of win.
Give Luv:
1
Sorry about that Al. I want to keep the black around the comic (part of the reason I changed it), because the comic’s backgrounds are black as well and it helps contrast the actual art in the comic frames. I never liked the white around the comic because the comic pages have black backgrounds and it just never seemed to blend with the website.
I also prefer the comments on the left and the “extra” content bars on the right because people read from left to right. Therefore, I’d rather place the content people are reading (comments) on the left and leave banners and extra stuffs to be looked at once comments are read.
So I do have a reason for what I did here! Sorry if you don’t care for it, but those two elements were major points I was trying to achieve when I redesigned (hehe… ironic those are the two things you don’t like!). We also have to keep upgrading the Comic Press platform since newer versions come out along with newer updates with WordPress. So when I update the platform, I have to shift the site around as things always work a little different each time.
I’m thinking about trying out Comic Easel when it comes out in December as that seems to be where Comic Press development is heading. I have no idea what that will do to site layout as I don’t know much about it yet. But I try to keep the site updated to what is newest and best supported by the CMS.

Maybe the familiarity is what I’m missing, too. Of course, my ideas of aesthetics usually clash with the conventional wisdom, anyways.

I don’t really like the new layout either. It just feels too… empty.
also, didn’t you used to have a widget for your twitter feed or something? that was really nice.

I must agree with the people above, I miss the clutter.
Give Luv:

Alright, I put it back. : p
But there will be a time I’m going to have to upgrade this site, and I may have to make changes that can’t be reversed. As I said above, I’m going to need to update eventually to keep up with new CMS changes. But that might not be until December.
