The Ringwraith Review

[Fuin Elda]

@Romeran Save yourself and don't you've not missed anything. (Although I will say it's hilarious to watch to make FUN of it - while drunk and stoned) That's about all it's good for sadly. Honestly am with Eldy hoping the new adaption won't imitate it at all.

[Dungeon Delver]

1) If you were asked to write a spec script for an upcoming TV series, what book/series would you choose? Gonna break my own rules here and say I'd write a film script based on the album "Still Life" by Opeth, a story of exile and return, religion, death, and madness
2) You can go back in time and give your favorite author one piece of advice, who is and what do you tell them? It would be too easy to say Tolkien here so I'm gonna go with Robert E Howard. I'd do my best to convince that life was still very much worth living after the death of his mother
3) What is the first book you remembering buying for yourself versus the last book you've bought for yourself? I think the first book I ever bought for myself was a Hardy Boys but it's been a few decades since then most recently I bought The Queen of the Cicadas by V. Castro, Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, We Can Never Leave This Place by Eric LaRocca, The Silence of the Girls by Pat Baker, and Circe by Madeline Miller.


@Rivvy Elf! You're up, I'd be very interesting in this interpretation of the Giving Tree

[Rivvy Elf]

@Metatron Omega there's a fluffy alternate ending on the tale created by someone online in which the tree says no towards the request of using the branches to build a house and they both have a happy ending where the tree firmly sets its boundaries and the boy understands.

Yeah, mine would not be fluffy at all. It would probably take place after the boy removes the branches to build the house and before the tree is turned into a trunk. The motive for the animals who lived on/in those branches is clear: someone destroyed their home/nest. Smashed eggs and stuff like that. The tree can't really physically do anything without branches (other than bend) so they'll get to see the horrifying result but fail to dissuade their absolutely vengeful animal friends. The challenging part would then be how they execute the plan. Maybe a dropped lantern setting the house on fire. The ending would be heartbreaking and tragic.

1. If you were to give Turin Turambar one piece of advice, what would it be? Your answer cannot be along the lines of "listen to everything I say."

2. What is a place that you absolutely dreaded going to, but found that you actually really liked in the end?

3. What is a book/movie/media that you always wanted to read/watch/etc., but never got around to reading/watching/etc?

[Dungeon Delver]

@Rivvy Elf, get to work!

1. If you were to give Turin Turambar one piece of advice, what would it be? Your answer cannot be along the lines of "listen to everything I say." Cheekily, I'd say keep it in your pants dude.

2. What is a place that you absolutely dreaded going to, but found that you actually really liked in the end? Visiting my partner's family for the first time (obvious answer but still accurate)

3. What is a book/movie/media that you always wanted to read/watch/etc., but never got around to reading/watching/etc? Always wanted to read Clive Barker's Hellbound Heart to see what all the fuss was about, but there are too many interesting horror novels and novellas that pop up and push it down the list

[Eldy Dunami]

1. If you were to give Turin Turambar one piece of advice, what would it be? Your answer cannot be along the lines of "listen to everything I say." "Don't be afraid to tell Beleg how you really feel about him."

2. What is a place that you absolutely dreaded going to, but found that you actually really liked in the end? I dread getting out of bed in the morning, but sometimes I enjoy going down to the kitchen when there are tasty leftovers. :V

3. What is a book/movie/media that you always wanted to read/watch/etc., but never got around to reading/watching/etc? Too many to count, sadly, but I'll go with The Godfather Part II as an especially egregious example since I have seen and enjoyed the first film, but for one reason or another never watched the sequel, despite it being on my figurative to-do list for years.

[Drifa]

1. If you were to give Turin Turambar one piece of advice, what would it be? Your answer cannot be along the lines of "listen to everything I say." Even though she abandoned you, remember Morwen did truly love you in her way.'"

2. What is a place that you absolutely dreaded going to, but found that you actually really liked in the end? My first new job in 20 years.

3. What is a book/movie/media that you always wanted to read/watch/etc., but never got around to reading/watching/etc? I have always wanted to see the live musical of Jesus Christ Superstar.

[Boromir88]

1. If you were to give Turin Turambar one piece of advice, what would it be? Your answer cannot be along the lines of "listen to everything I say." Life isn't fair. Get used to it.

2. What is a place that you absolutely dreaded going to, but found that you actually really liked in the end? Las Vegas. It was one of those family vacations and I was like 12, my sister was 16. In my head I thought we'd just be stuck in a hotel for a week because what is there for underage kids to do in Vegas? And you know our parents, would just go to casinos and do other adult stuff. I was 12 and this was the first vacation that wasn't like Disneyworld or somewhere specifically for me. But it was great, saw some good shows, ate lots of different kinds of food, went to Lake Tahoe for a few days (absolutely beautiful place).

3. What is a book/movie/media that you always wanted to read/watch/etc., but never got around to reading/watching/etc? Farscape. I watched a couple episodes years ago, as I was flipping channels. But I couldn't watch the entire series and now it's hard to find. Everytime I think about it there's always something else I'm buying or getting into watching.

[KingODuckingham]

1. If you were to give Turin Turambar one piece of advice, what would it be? Your answer cannot be along the lines of "listen to everything I say." Don't shoot the messenger.

2. What is a place that you absolutely dreaded going to, but found that you actually really liked in the end? Preschool, specifically the test run of our baking soda and vinegar volcano

3. What is a book/movie/media that you always wanted to read/watch/etc., but never got around to reading/watching/etc? I've started it, but it's been like 3 years and I still haven't gotten around to finishing The Turn of the Screw. Bit shameful since it's got mystery and thriller elements, and is not that long. Not like I haven't been reading either.

[Romeran]

1. If you were to give Turin Turambar one piece of advice, what would it be? Your answer cannot be along the lines of "listen to everything I say." Do not presume to know the judgement of others.

2. What is a place that you absolutely dreaded going to, but found that you actually really liked in the end? I was really nervous about doing ballroom dancing classes with my wife before our wedding but ended up really enjoying it.

3. What is a book/movie/media that you always wanted to read/watch/etc., but never got around to reading/watching/etc? Firefly. I get told all the time how good this series is but I've never sat down and watched it.

[Drifa]

Hi ho, @Rivvy Elf! What say you think we get his thread moving again? Who do you choose to continue it?

[Rivvy Elf]

Aah yes, let’s get this thread moving, thanks for the reminder, @Drifa.

@Eldy Dunami, you’re up! I’m just aghast that you haven’t watched the Second Godfather. It’s practically two movies in one, as you may have known.

[Rivvy Elf]

Eldy has declined. @Drifa, your quote moved me and it was one of my favorite parts of the Turin Turambar tale. You're up next!

[Drifa]

No problem. Let's see.

1. If you were to abduct a person, what would tempt them to get into the white van? A cheese sandwich or a grilled steak? What is the story behind your choice?
2. Evil travels in packs of three. What are your three most evil traits?
3. Finish the following sentence: We are going to Mordor___________________!

[KingODuckingham]

1. If you were to abduct a person, what would tempt them to get into the white van? A cheese sandwich or a grilled steak? What is the story behind your choice? I always liked a comedian's version of this plan: abduct a celebrity by asking for an autograph, then saying you had a pen...in your van.
2. Evil travels in packs of three. What are your three most evil traits? Does it really? Or is lying one of your most evil traits?
3. Finish the following sentence: We are going to Mordor___________________ and Mord all over them

[Dungeon Delver]

1. If you were to abduct a person, what would tempt them to get into the white van? A cheese sandwich or a grilled steak? What is the story behind your choice?
Let's say I'm a member of an eldritch cult and I need a professor to kidnap to translate some of our text (the text of course driving those that translate it raving mad), I attend a class of his, ask questions during the class to familiarize him with myself and make him comfortable, tell him I work at that rare bookshop downtown one day and tell him we received a book whose provenances we can't locate and wonder if he might lend us a hand, once he's there we stuff him in the van, force him to translate the Viðbjóðslegi Gæjinn, open a gateway for our dark lord and bring about the end.
2. Evil travels in packs of three. What are your three most evil traits? Evil is a relative term but in the spirit of the question, 1) I am extremely and unrepentantly misanthropic, 2) I like confusing and deceiving people, and 3) some might say the most evil of all, I don't have negative nonsense to spill online about RoP
3. Finish the following sentence: We are going to Mordor___________________! We're live from New York, it's Saturday night?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

1. Tempt? I think I'll just shoot the victim and be done with it.
2. A- use the Dark Side, B - claim you're a Pureblood, and C - dominate the world.
3. To ravish and plunder, and snack on the delight that may come forth.

[Pele Alarion]

1. If you were to abduct a person, what would tempt them to get into the white van? A cheese sandwich or a grilled steak? What is the story behind your choice? Honey cake or chocolate! Because... I have a sweet tooth and think others might have too.

2. Evil travels in packs of three. What are your three most evil traits? Are you trying to get me to admit to crimes? I am a very good Gondorian and do no evil!

3. Finish the following sentence: We are going to Mordor to cover it all in WHITE SNOW instead of ash! Suppose need to get rid of all fires first and such.

[Drifa]

I could not help but smile when I read this. Your up, Frost aka @Carmilla Was Better !

3. Finish the following sentence: We are going to Mordor___________________! We're live from New York, it's Saturday night?

[Dungeon Delver]

1) I'm thinking of making other people post for me: I write and they post. Rate this idea from Blue to Orange
2) Grinch v. Krampus, what kind of fight is it and who wins?
3) What is a Killer Like You Gonna Do Here?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

1. Puzzle me this, puzzle me that (variation on the Joker from Batman).
2. What are you asking?
3. Ask that a vampire.... If you're still alive.

[Drifa]

1) I'm thinking of making other people post for me: I write, and they post. Rate this idea from Blue to Orange. I will rate it Yellow.

Yellow, the color of sunshine, hope, and happiness, has conflicting associations. On the one hand, yellow stands for freshness, happiness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honor, loyalty, and joy, but on the other, it represents cowardice and deceit.

2) Grinch v. Krampus, what kind of fight is it and who wins? Because the Grinch's heart was three times too small, nothing the birch branch-wielding Krampus did affect him. Each switch swing was missed due to the antihero's green meanness and clever dodging maneuvers in the mountain snow. The Grinch was not scared, shamed, or apologetic (being accused by the hoofed-footed devil of being naughty ). Every time Krampus attempted to put the Who in a sack, his hoofed feet would slip in the snow, and he missed the snatch. He was more accustomed to frightening children in warm wooden houses. And so, the Grinch won outright cause; he didn't give a shire.

3) What is a Killer Like You Gonna Do Here? Chase you up the tallest pine tree, get a slobbering orc to set it on fire, then wait for dinner to be cooked.

[Reikon Suchi-ru]

1) I'm thinking of making other people post for me: I write and they post. Rate this idea from Blue to OrangeI'm rating this 50 Shades of Huh???
2) Grinch v. Krampus, what kind of fight is it and who wins?John McClane takes them both down along with Hans Gruber!
3) What is a Killer Like You Gonna Do Here? Send Kevin McAllister after them. They'll be gone in no time.

[Pele Alarion]

1) I'm thinking of making other people post for me: I write and they post. Rate this idea from Blue to Orange. Ehh. I dunno. I think I've done it at some point. Someone wrote my post and I posted it. Works for extremely dry periods.

2) Grinch v. Krampus, what kind of fight is it and who wins? Just put them both in a sack and hang in a spruce tree.

3) What is a Killer Like You Gonna Do Here? Me? A killer? Offended.

[Dungeon Delver]

Well, you've all answered each question incorrectly. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. I expected better, but alas, maybe it's me.

Anyway, since none of you won, any of you can do whatever you want. I cede the floor.

[Drifa]

Sorry to disappoint you!

1. What is one item you can't live without?
2. If Mordor had a dating service, what would it be called?
3. Butterbur, Gollum, Fatty Bolger, Bombur, One of those singing elves from the valley, and the 4th Nazgul are all standing staring at the cookie jar. It's empty. In what order from 1 to 6 do you deduce who stole the last cookie and why?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

1. What is one item you can't live without? Me lightsaber.
2. If Mordor had a dating service, what would it be called? Loving Skull Service completed with a black heart behind the words.
3. Butterbur, Gollum, Fatty Bolger, Bombur, One of those singing elves from the valley, and the 4th Nazgul are all standing staring at the cookie jar. It's empty. In what order from 1 to 6 do you deduce who stole the last cookie and why?

- Nazgul.. he was seduced by the smell. (highly likely)
- Gollum.. revulsing from the smell, yet glaring with big eyes to the prize. (less likely)
- Butterbur... his belly was asking something. (lesser likely)
- Bolger... he got a dislike for darkness. (even lesser likely)
- Bombur... likes beer more than cookies. (almost not likely at all)
- Elf... Not interested in cookies, instead comsumes loads of lembas. (Not likely at all)


(I left the numbering out, because I don't know if 1 or 6 is likely the candidate taken the last cookie).

[Rivvy Elf]

1. What is one item you can't live without? My oldest stuffed pikachu.
2. If Mordor had a dating service, what would it be called? Lövebúrz
3. Butterbur, Gollum, Fatty Bolger, Bombur, One of those singing elves from the valley, and the 4th Nazgul are all standing staring at the cookie jar. It's empty. In what order from 1 to 6 do you deduce who stole the last cookie and why?

1. The Nazgul's steed: the steed probably is used to eating thorns and stuff found in garbage cans as Nazgul no longer care about proper sustenance.
2. Butterbur: I bet he loves cookies and just couldn't help it, but also would be a bit more scared of the Nazgul's steed.
3. Elf: Tra-la-la-la-lalley, I stole the cookie!
4. Bombur: Unfortunately, he requires people to lift him to grab the cookie.
5. Fatty: Petrified of the Nazgul to even move
6. Gollum: It's not a fish.... but perhaps crumble the cookie up and place it on Fatty Bolger's hair so that the wicked hobbit would get the blame?
7. Nazgul: YAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

[KingODuckingham]

1. What is one item you can't live without? I don't have an item like that. Not even a duck.
2. If Mordor had a dating service, what would it be called? They would still have Tinder and Grinder, just it would involve literal fires and swords.
3. Butterbur, Gollum, Fatty Bolger, Bombur, One of those singing elves from the valley, and the 4th Nazgul are all standing staring at the cookie jar. It's empty. In what order from 1 to 6 do you deduce who stole the last cookie and why? Part of me thinks, of all these people only one is a known thief: Gollum. The rest of me blames Fatty because he is known for crumbling under pressure.

[Reikon Suchi-ru]

1. What is one item you can't live without? How terrible it is to admit it's my Xbox.
2. If Mordor had a dating service, what would it be called? Eye Choose You!
3. Butterbur, Gollum, Fatty Bolger, Bombur, One of those singing elves from the valley, and the 4th Nazgul are all standing staring at the cookie jar. It's empty. In what order from 1 to 6 do you deduce who stole the last cookie and why? While I've spent the last few minutes trying to logic this out, Pippin comes back for more and steals the jar too.

[Pele Alarion]

1. What is one item you can't live without? An item? Most can be replaced... though I might be a bit lost without my planner to tell me when all the work projects are due.
2. If Mordor had a dating service, what would it be called? Walk into Mordor Service
3. Butterbur, Gollum, Fatty Bolger, Bombur, One of those singing elves from the valley, and the 4th Nazgul are all standing staring at the cookie jar. It's empty. In what order from 1 to 6 do you deduce who stole the last cookie and why? Bombur did it. lol... Because he always wants to eat. 1. Bombur. 2. Fatty Bolger (rather likely to eat as well). 3. Butterbur (mindlessly snacking as he serves his customers, but maybe wouldn't exactly take the last cookie). 4. That singing elf (perhaps). 5. The 4th Nazgul (do Nazgul even eat cookies?). 6. Gollum (he'd probably say ewwwww).

[Romeran]

1. What is one item you can't live without? At this point, my iphone for sure. Doesn't need to be specifically this one. Work laptop close second.
2. If Mordor had a dating service, what would it be called? OK Sauron
3. Butterbur, Gollum, Fatty Bolger, Bombur, One of those singing elves from the valley, and the 4th Nazgul are all standing staring at the cookie jar. It's empty. In what order from 1 to 6 do you deduce who stole the last cookie and why? 1. Fatty Bolger, it's in the name.... 2. Bombur, would be fitting for his character. 3. Butterbur as he might actually enjoy the cookie. 4. One of those elves from the valley, they might get curious. 5. Nazgûl but mostly because 6. Gollum (nasty hobbit foods!)

[Drifa]

Very good deducing @Rivvy Elf ! You are up if you like.

[Rivvy Elf]

@Drifa Thank ye, Drifa!

1. What is a food that you always wanted to eat but never had the chance to?

2. Would you rather put your essence in an object (Sauron with the One Ring), or would you rather spread your essence throughout the Earth (like Melkor with Arda)? Why? If you chose to put your essence in an object, what object would that be?

3. May you give me a scary fact that I would find interesting?

[Aikári Salmarinian]

1. Nothing really, but I am missing appelsin marmelad, vafflor and brunost.
2. Neither of the two.
3. Aiks being not around anymore.

[Pele Alarion]

1. What is a food that you always wanted to eat but never had the chance to? No idea if there is any, actually. With access to chocolate, what else one needs for enjoyment...

2. Would you rather put your essence in an object (Sauron with the One Ring), or would you rather spread your essence throughout the Earth (like Melkor with Arda)? Why? If you chose to put your essence in an object, what object would that be? Could I remain a simple human? Else... Might spread out and make everything bloom (no evil, thank you! ).

3. May you give me a scary fact that I would find interesting? People swallow eight spiders a year in their sleep. Imagine if Shelob somehow ended up in the Mouth of Sauron...

[Drifa]

1. What is a food that you always wanted to eat but never had the chance to? Hmm, I am with Pele here. Nothing comes to mind. But I enjoy looking at some of the dishes Jamie Oliver cooks up and might eventually give some of those a try.

2. Would you rather put your essence in an object (Sauron with the One Ring), or would you rather spread your essence throughout the Earth (like Melkor with Arda)? Why? If you chose to put your essence in an object, what object would that be? I would like to put my essence throughout the Earth, but it would serve me better now to put it in an object—for example, my vacuum cleaner. My vacuum cleaner would then have power over all other cleaning tools in my house. Weekly cleaning would then ensue.

3. May you give me a scary fact that I would find interesting? Dust mites live in your mattress, eating your dead skin.

[Dungeon Delver]

1. What is a food that you always wanted to eat but never had the chance to? Scorpion Candy
2. Would you rather put your essence in an object (Sauron with the One Ring), or would you rather spread your essence throughout the Earth (like Melkor with Arda)? Why? If you chose to put your essence in an object, what object would that be? I'd rather keep my essence to myself, consent and all that
3. May you give me a scary fact that I would find interesting? The cumulative weight of humans on the eart and the cumulative weight of ants on the earth is roughly the same

[Dungeon Delver]

Any conclusions here, @Rivvy Elf?

[Rivvy Elf]

*wakes up*

@Drifa, you’re up! The vacuum cleaner bit was quite amusing!

[Drifa]

Why, it's been a while. Okay, thanks, Rivvy!

1. In which galaxy were you spawned?
2. And verily she/he spake unto you and sayeth the words all women/men wish to hear... But lacking good internet service, you couldn't hear them over the static on your cell phone. What did they say?
3. "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe". You are being drafted into the Mordor army, a marriage of sorts. What would the items be for you?

(24)

[Dungeon Delver]

1. In which galaxy were you spawned? Given many people's alien response to me in general, I'd have to say Triangulum
2. And verily she/he spake unto you and sayeth the words all women/men wish to hear... But lacking good internet service, you couldn't hear them over the static on your cell phone. What did they say? Self-care is valid and the time taken to recognize your needs is not time wasted
3. "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe". You are being drafted into the Mordor army, a marriage of sorts. What would the items be for you? Something Old: A handful of Mordor dirt (it's old, geologically speaking); Something New: New shoes, hands down, practical, applicable, and always in season; Something Borrowed: Despite the time honored tradition of outright stealing things in Mordor, borrowing is a lesser known, less practiced skill, it implies trust, short-term use, and intention of return so I'll go with a carved bone dagger from a neighbor; Something Blue: that's hard in Mordor, whose color palette doesn't stray much from brown, red, and orange, however I think it reasonable to believe that woad was imported from time to time. while it might have been a rare, specialty item it's use as warpaint would be invaluable in the army; A Sixpence in Your Shoe; while it is quite certain that Mordor's economy was coin based rather than barter, it's not certain what sort of metals would be used in the coins or their notated value, gold and silver would be valuable not nigh completely unavailable, iron, tin, and steel too valuable to waste in coinage, perhaps a bronze coin, low in practical value but plentiful enough use in coinage, or, and off the wall thought, what about the use of charcoal coins?

[Chrysophylax Dives]

1. Would you rather fight 3 duck sized Narvs, or one Narv sized duck?
2. Tell me about a book you’ve read or show you watched since you were last on Plaza
3. What is one of your favourite Old Plaza memories?

1. I first observed this back in 2020 and everything since has confirmed my verdict: you people know nothing about fighting ducks.

2. 'The Black Duck Cometh' by UR Nemesis.

2. Admin fight leading to permanent departure.

[Merewyn]

1. In which galaxy were you spawned? Whichever one produces the cutest women, cause I'm a cutie.
2. And verily she/he spake unto you and sayeth the words all women/men wish to hear... But lacking good internet service, you couldn't hear them over the static on your cell phone. What did they say? "I have Mountain Dew, Chicken Satay, Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition, and two pairs of onesies. Come over."
3. "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe". You are being drafted into the Mordor army, a marriage of sorts. What would the items be for you? Hmm. An old person's shinbone. A young person's shinbone. Another person's shinbone (I'll return this one!). The Cookie Monster's shinbone. I have no idea what a sixpence is.

[Drifa]

Let us get some new questions in here leading up to Yuletide. And cause you are a cutie, @Merewyn, you are up if you like!

[Merewyn]

Hehehe well thank you @Drifa, I shall oblige!

1. If you could have one mystical or magical weapon (from any form of media), what would you have and why?
2. If you could travel to any point in time (but still enjoy the comforts of modern time, imagine travelling in the TARDIS), where would you go?
3. Would you rather be the only superhero in our REAL world, or one of many in a superhero universe?

[Drifa]

1. If you could have one mystical or magical weapon (from any form of media), what would you have and why? Again, with me, it all comes back to cleaning and cleaning accessories. I would use magical cleaning tools to fight against dirt and grime, like in The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
2. If you could travel to any point in time (but still enjoy the comforts of modern time, imagine travelling in the TARDIS), where would you go? I would probably travel back to 1969 and Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York where the Woodstock festival was held and see what it was really like from the comfort of my lazy-boy.
3. Would you rather be the only superhero in our REAL world, or one of many in a superhero universe? Hmm, well, Superman never made any money for savin' the world from Solomon Grundy , so I think I would join the superhero verse.

[Aikári Salmarinian]

1. If you could have one mystical or magical weapon (from any form of media), what would you have and why? It would be a wand, as they have in HP. I think it is a nice tool to have, and since the properties would tie to your personality, it would be an alley.
2. If you could travel to any point in time (but still enjoy the comforts of modern time, imagine travelling in the TARDIS), where would you go? Into the future, as nothing has happened of it yet.
3. Would you rather be the only superhero in our REAL world, or one of many in a superhero universe? No, I haven't superhero ambitions.

[Romeran]

1. If you could have one mystical or magical weapon (from any form of media), what would you have and why? does a sonic screwdriver count? I think seems like it. Would be pretty cool to just have control over basically anything electronic which nowadays is a lot of things. Even for just every day stuff like why the internet is down.

2. If you could travel to any point in time (but still enjoy the comforts of modern time, imagine travelling in the TARDIS), where would you go? assuming we can’t go forwards in time, which is probably what I would pick. But since I can’t specify some event in the future for obvious reasons I’d prolly go with 1790s ish. Napoleonic era/age of sail. I love the styling of the military uniforms at the time and I’ve read too much Jack Aubrey.

3. Would you rather be the only superhero in our REAL world, or one of many in a superhero universe? the only super hero in the real world. Super hero universes seem to be plagued by supernatural villains as well. I’d rather just be a secret super hero doing good or at least no harm lol.

[Pele Alarion]

1. If you could have one mystical or magical weapon (from any form of media), what would you have and why? There's this sword in Welsh legend, Dyrnwyn, and Wiki says of it: "When drawn, it blazed with fire; if drawn by a worthy man, the fire would help him in his cause, but its fire would burn the man who drew it for an unworthy purpose." Sounds about right...
2. If you could travel to any point in time (but still enjoy the comforts of modern time, imagine travelling in the TARDIS), where would you go? I wouldn't mind exploring how the ancient Latvian tribes lived (sometime about 1st to 8th century, let's say).
3. Would you rather be the only superhero in our REAL world, or one of many in a superhero universe? Neither. I'd rather be one of many in the real world.

[Drifa]

It might be time for a new set of questions, eh? Let us see if @Merewyn can choose someone from the answers to her questions above.
