1- Pets or people and why?

Erm, it depends on the day. Frankly, it depends on the time of day, even. ^_-

My pets have been a lot more loyal than my friends throughout my life, on the whole. My theory is that my friends tend to leave me after a while, although in the past four years or so my new friends (that is, all you lot and the people I met at university) have been slowly but surely trying to prove my theory wrong.

*shrug*

I love my pets dearly, and I wouldn't trade them in for anything in the world. I feel a sense of responsibility toward them that I don't feel toward any human being, because you can't reason with an animal. An animal doesn't understand when you leave it. It only knows that it's being abandoned.

However, having fifteen cats and twenty dogs won't take away the need for human companionship.

Was that equivocal enough for ya? ^_-

2- What would Safiya be like if she'd turned out the way you'd planned her?

Less stupid, more forceful, more deliberately seductive, more manipulative. A lot more like Calliope but less power-hungry than our red-haired dancer, methinks. Certainly a lot more worldly, with a tendency to shroud herself in mystery and to beguile and tease men rather than to offer herself as readily as she does. Heh. Oh well. I rather like her the way she is. She's a sweetie. :)


3- Ever seen a ghost?

Well, paranormal phenomena tend to shy away from me for some reason. I have no idea why, but I'm apparently anathema to anything that goes "bump" in the night. I have been in haunted rooms and houses and fields and what have you in which things happen with clockwork regularity, and without fail, when I am there, whatever it is won't happen, to the general bemusement of the people I'm with. It's not that I don't believe in such things. They just don't seem to happen around me.

However, I think I have seen something, which could either be a random combination of shadows or else some kind of a psychic imprint. It's on Remembrance Road on Mount Royal, and when I drive there at night, at one particular spot when I go past I can clearly see the outline of a large dog crossing the road. It's always there without fail, for about a second or two, and then it's gone again.

So, I think I might have seen something like a ghost, to answer your question. :)


4- What RPG character concept have you not yet played and would like to explore?

Up until recently, I had never played a thief. I'm doing that now in Pirates, of course. I would like to play a pilot. I've never played a pilot. :)

5- Zombies: funny, scary, or just gross?

Depends on the game setting and how the GM runs it... Oh, did you mean movies? ^_-

No, I like zombies, no matter how they're portrayed. They make fantastic villains, and even the occasional good guy. Mostly I find zombies scary, but perhaps that's due to how they've been presented to me. I've mostly had them presented to me through text and not visually, which is why I don't immediately have the "ewww" reaction of most people. To me, zombies are the type of creature that can lurch quickly out of the darkness and clutch at you without warning. The oozing, rotting, dessicating aspect is secondary to the suspense, almost. I don't know if that made any sense. ;)

My questions shall be forthcoming, btw.
