Dear Laura,
Laura, help! I have four male Norns, all of them rather kicked around by the rest of my Norn society, in DS Terra Nornia. They enjoy collecting various toys, building their own robots, and reading Comic Book Agents. Well, just the other day, one of my female Norns decided to set up her spot in a Burrow, just across the way from their Burrow. Three of them are desperately following her around, whereas the other one just occasionally comes over to insult her slovenliness, lesser intelligence, or lack of the Adhesive Duck Agent. It's extremely lulzy. One Norn can't even talk to females, the other has a disproportionate view of himself as a Casanova, and the third can't digest cheese, that staple of the Norn diet, properly. My problem is that the female Norn is slowly being converted to their way of life! What am I to do? I need to breed her with normal Norns in order to keep my population strong, but she keeps insisting on "push Age of Conan" and enjoys blowing off the head of the male Norn who keeps insulting her... in Norn Halo that is. What am I to do?

Dear Lorre Prady,
Encouraging Norns to mingle outside their usual social circles can often result in a much richer society. However, I feel that your problem was introducing one female to several males, rather than the reverse. I think that confiscating their computer and video games would be a good start, whilst importing more females into your world should help to balance out the ratio. Your Norns need to interact with other Norns and with the real world outside 'Norn Halo', a lot more, in order to develop better social skills, and to learn how to deal with the different situations that life throws at them. When they realise that video games are a 'sometimes toy', then you can give them back, but first they ought to experience what it feels like to breakdown in an elevator, what it's like to have to scavage for food, and that breathtaking moment when they have their first kisspop. After all, we're only young for a matter of minutes!
