You know, I'm a little ahead on work and got some time to kill. I haven't done in a while. Ask me some questions. Weird ones.

@zebratron2084 What aspect of yourself do you never get enough chances to play or exhibit?

@Austin_Dern The two extremes. The unicorn doesn't get much time anymore, and neither does the monster.

It's been a long time since I've been emotionally intimate with a fellow sentimentalist. Peggy is a perfect specimen of dragon: kind, wise, serene, and witty. She's also spiky, and I have to maintain a certain amount of spikiness in order to get along with her. It actually works really well for me, since I tend towards spiky, but I don't get to let my guard down and be sentimental much...

@Austin_Dern On the other hand, I got really few opportunities to play out the OTHER end of my personality. I love horror, especially cosmic and psychological horror, and I have some DARK fantasies. I rarely shared them with anybody, since most of my friends just aren't into that stuff and I was always terrified of turning them off. But some part of me would love an excuse to be somebody's full-fledged apocalyptic nightmare in a playspace that's explicitly OK for it.

@zebratron2084 I'm a bit relieved to have proof that we are different people. My dark side, apart from snarky passive-aggressive comments, is about as nightmarish as one of those Casper the Friendly Ghost comics where he has to help the cartoonist finish making the book.

But, goodness, does your dragon ever sound like the one whose I was.

Hope you can get to unicorn with overflowing sentimentality soon, though. Would be nice to know a noninflatable unicorn I was happy to see.

@Austin_Dern I think you'll like the spikepony or two that'll be showing up in Parallax. ^___^ Noa is pretty much Noelle with her serial numbers rubbed off.
