Question from Spookbeard the Pirate  on 9/18/2005 | comment

Dear Laura,
     Arr, so there I was, sailin' the brisk n' dangerous Strait o' Darkness. Me n' me mateys were up wit' the riggin' n' not a should but I was down on the main deck keeping things ship shape. All o' a sudden we hit a big uprift, n' me and our ship's hull buckled somethin' fierce. What can I do teh save me an' me hearty crew?
- Spookbeard the Pirate


Dear Spookbeard the Pirate,
     Arr, me jolly lad. 'Tis a problem ye and your hearties got yeh selfs into indeed. Me main thought be this: Swim! Avoid these 'ere sharks, and mind the Sirens (they lure a man somethin' fierce, aye). Arr, one more thing ye should know; yer hearty crew all be damned, so save yer own skin, be a real scallywag me laddie!

Question from Annie  on 9/18/2005 | comment

Dear Laura,
     I'm worried about my Hand. She used to call herself 'Kelseykatking' and be normal, but now she calls herself 'Wolfie' and when she gets hyper, (which is often) she calls herself 'The Demon Wolfie'. She's still nice and motherly to me and the other Norns, but she thinks she's part wolf.
- Annie


Dear Annie,
     My only advice is that, on a full moon, stay away from 'The Demon Wolfie'. From the sounds of it, things could get nasty, and I unfortunately do not know the number for a decent exorcist.

Question from Cat Norn  on 9/14/2005 | comment

Dear Laura,
     I was walking around the ship with my cat the other day, and my cat ran up a tree. Now I can't get her down. I tried contacting the Hand about it, but I havent seen him in days. Do you know how I could get the cat down myself?
- Cat Norn


Dear Cat Norn,
     Try putting food at the bottom of the tree to tempt her, perhaps a nice juicy Stickletrout. She'll come down when she's hungry I'm sure.

Question from Cornelius  on 9/13/2005 | comment

Dear Laura,
     My name is Cornelius and I run the 'Cornelius Cares' section of the Evil Council website. Lately I've been having trouble answering questions. Mainly because of a distinct lack of them. How do you get so many questions, and find the time to answer them?
Yours between deaths,
- Cornelius


Dear Cornelius,
     It took awhile for 'Ask Laura' to get this popular, and even now it still has its quiet times. I don't know how I get so many questions really, there's a lot of needy Norns out there, and it also helps that this column is featured on a popular sub-community. Remember, Creatures Caves has been around a lot longer than the Evil Council website has, it just takes time. Perhaps not everybody is depressed enough to write to you with their tales of woe? Or perhaps your advertisement campaign is in need of a revamp. I can usually find the time to answer all the questions easily enough. That and I have a helpful bunch of magical Doozers at my disposal. If you want some serious flair, malevolent Goblin minions should do the trick; every columnist needs an accessory. :D

Question from PF  on 9/12/2005 | comment

Dear Laura,
     I'm writing this on the behalf of an idiot. My friend Homer took your advice a little too seriously. To make up for the lack of stars shining in his eyes (last night being so cloudy and all), he decided it would be brilliant to supplement the shine with a convenient glitter COB. Glue may have been involved. How long should I let him suffer for his stupidity? The blind bumbling is entertaining, but I'm not sure I feel up to diving in after him if he stumbles head first off the docks.
- PF


Dear PF,
     He now knows what the phrase "a sight for sore eyes" means. You should let him suffer for 21 days, exactly. During this time, you should tie him to a chair and poke him with sticks of varying materials. They have to be different materials because otherwise he'll think he's just being poked with the same thing. After 21 days he should be magically cured, and you should wag your finger at him for being so silly. However, deny all knowledge of poking him. :D

Question from Heidi  on 9/12/2005 | comment

Dear Laura,
     I have responsibilities to my Mum and Dad to pick carrots for harvest, but my friends want me to go with them to the Hooch still and rave with them. They've even got some fairy lights strung up. It's slightly tempting, but I don't want to starve when the snowstorms come! Can you please help me work out how to balance my duties and my play?
- Heidi


Dear Heidi,
     Well, you're now faced with two choices. Either you disobey your parents and run the risk of not having enough to eat in the harsh winter months, or go out and get alcohol poisoning. In all honesty, this whole situation seems highly risque. I mean, how do you know that you're not falling into the wrong crowd here? While getting extremely drunk at your young age sounds very tempting, it's not exactly a great way to win friends and influence people. You don't know what kind of trouble these 'friends' could get you into. Would it be really worth it? :\ You sound like an intelligent girl with a sensible, upright character, it would be a shame for that to be tainted under peer pressure. I think you should go with your gut instinct and stay at home to collect the harvest, though it's ultimately up to you at the end of the day. However, I know you'll make the right decision.

Question from Anduin  on 9/11/2005 | comment

Dear Laura,
     Will there ever be a day where you can take a vacation from thinking and let those of us that dwell in JRChat can come out of the shadows and answer all your questions for you? It would be very educational for sure. [devil]
- Anduin


Dear Anduin,
     Educational, you say? That's what I'm becoming increasingly wary of! Should I really subject my poor, naive readers to the rabble that is the JRC, who have a infamous reputation for being a little left of the stable? How do I know you won't warp and corrupt their minds? Before long they'll be opening zip lock bags of fate and eating a lot of apples, for fear of perishing monsters that don't exist. And are you lot really qualified enough to take on my role? Not many people have PhD's in Norn Psychology, you know, and it takes more than a truckload of smelling salts, an elephant gun and a large dose of hindsight to get through the day. Maybe it wouldn't hurt as a one-day feature though. ;)

Question from Not Malkin  on 9/11/2005 | comment

Dear Laura,
     I'm writing on behalf of a friend of a friend of a friend, who is really confused; what do guy Norns like in a girl Norn?
- Not Malkin


Dear Not Malkin,
     Preferably to a male, she should be bright-eyed and bushy tailed, oh, and she must have healthy pink ears too, that is essential. A display of good housewifery wouldn't go amiss either. The female should strive to make her corner of the Capillata homely, whilst being a mistress of the culinary arts, and of course giving undivided care and attention towards her mate. A practical way of doing this would be to greet the male with homemade Cheesecake after a hard day in the lifts... wearing nothing but a smile. As I mentioned earlier, all Norns are philosophically opposed to clothes! ;)

Question from Alicia  on 9/11/2005 | comment

Dear Laura,
     I did what you said and gave Kelseykatking frozen worm meal, but she likes worms. She thawed them out and set them free.
- Alicia


Dear Alicia,
     Oh, that's very insufficient! Give her frozen spaghetti meal, you know, the kind that half-hearted mothers feed their Nornlings. It's irresistibly tempting, and you'll find that she won't be able to set these ones free either. Well, she could, but they wouldn't go anywhere. ;)

Question from Reyan  on 9/11/2005 | comment

Dear Laura,
     The other day, I was walking with a friend of mine in the Norn Terrarium, and I suddenly noticed how attractive he was. Am I gay? Since then, I've developed a crush on him, I think... All I can think about is kissing him. I'm really confused, and frightened to tell him because I think he'll reject me. Please help!
- Reyan


Dear Reyan,
     I've heard that same-sex attractions or "hero worship" can just be part of growing up, a normal phase. In my experience, being in love, which very is different to falling in love, doesn't depend on anything but the personality of the one you adore. It can be quite natural for you and your fellow Norns to feel affection for one another, since you've probably never been more than thirty centimetres apart from each other your whole lives, if that far. I'd recommend that before you do anything, accept that it could either be true love, or a red herring, a feeling that will pass and fade, but is no less potent for the meantime. Regardless, I wish you the best of luck in your pursuits. :)
- Laura
