Ask Glyph

[Glyph]

A spotlight flares to life, and, out of nowhere, something green and spiky flops out into the illuminated area. She groans, sits up, and has just managed to push her glasses far enough back up her nose to begin to wonder where in Chaos she is and how she got there, when her eyes suddenly pop wide. The vaguely unfamiliar settings send an alarm Klaxon pounding in the back of her skull, blaring from the shared part of her consciousness that exists Beyond the Fourth Wall. Slowly, the hedgehog stares up at the title of the thread, then levels her horrified gaze onto her Writer.

"Dear Gods," Glyph gapes, "You are insane!"

Indeed I am. Self explanatory titles are self explanatory. Ask her anything and she will attempt to answer. _{But no TRZ spoilers will be divulged.} :3

[Meryck]

GLYPH! WHEN ARE YOU ASKING FINGAL OUT ON A DATE?!

[Kiara]

Is Mineto sexy or is he SEXY?

[Glyph]

Kiara: Glyph rolls her eyes, but laughs. She takes a sip from the water bottle that suddenly appears next to her, and her voice turns sly, "What, you mean I have to choose just one?"

Meryck: The hedgehog begins to take another drink and almost chokes; at best, the water goes flying across the room in a spittake of epic proportions. Glyph splutters for a long moment, her muzzle burning beet red in the light, before she manages to regain her breath. When she does, she stares incredulously, working her mouth as if sound is supposed to be coming out.

"W-what?!" She stammers, the part of her mind Beyond the Fourth Wall making her twitch, "W-why would Fingal date m-me? "

[Kiara]

OH OH.

HEY.

GLYPH.

HEY GLYPH.

IF YOU HAD TO SMOOCH MINETO, FINGAL, OR WILLIAM...

WHO WOULD YOU PICK?

[Glyph]

Kiara: The hedgehog stares, her face slowly heating up into a blush again. "When was it decided," she started, seeming dazed and exceedingly confused, "that I had a thing for canines?" She coughs, purses her lips, and looks away. _{"I'mnotansweringthat, youcan'tmakeme..."}

[Kiara]

I meant if you were forced to pick one. c:

-holds up a knife-

You sure you're not gonna answer? <3

[Glyph]

The hedgehog pales and takes a step back, ears flattening to her skull--but whether she's afraid of the knife, or the answer to the question, isn't clear. "... You're threatening me," she finally say, looking queasy, "T-therefore, any answer I give you will be given purely out of self-preservation, and, as such, could not be taken as honest."

And here we have a prime example of how Glyph avoids difficult questions: She uses logic... Attempts to use logic. _{And when that doesn't work, she freezes. :3}

[Kiara]

Fine then. -eats the knife, hugs Glyph- :3

I'm just asking for oooooooone little answer. Just a name. The lesser of three evils. <3

[Glyph]

She pales again, staring dumbly. Unsure whether to be freaked out or confused as all you-know-what, the hedgehog settles for pointing out the obvious. "... You just ate a knife. Why am I not surprised?"

Shaking her head, Glyph quickly stiffens again, her eyes darting about nervously at the awkward question.

"That not fair," she finally whines, defeat shining in her yellow eyes, "I'll be jumped by shippers no matter what I say... And if I don't choose, they just pair me with them all again..."

[Hally]

Well, Glyph, if you just say someone you'd rather make out with, then it'll be easier for you. We might let up on the others.

Also. I'm not feeling shippy right now.

IF EVERYONE YOU LOVED DIED, HOW WOULD LIFE GO ON FOR YOU? <sub>(First one to die would be family. Then Lex, Fingal, Vesper, Mineto, etc etc.)

Wait. Apparentally I AM feeling a little shippy.</sub>

[Glyph]

"... No you wouldn't." The hedgehog grumps, hunching her shoulders and folding her arms across her chest. "You'd keep shipping it and call it crack."

After a moment spent staring off into the distance and generally looking very pale, Glyph shrugs. She suddenly seems very tired and bent, as if something very heavy has just been dropped onto her back.

"... It probably wouldn't." Quietly, she turns her haunted gaze away, summoning up a solemn, mirthless smirk. "And I have no idea who Lex is."

She's not technically lying, you know--neither Vesper nor Glyph have found out who the psychopath in the subway was. XD

[Hally]

...And? <3

You're breaking the fourth wall already, you should know who Lex is. You know, that pyro down in the subway? |D

NOW TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF EACH OF YOUR PROSPECTIVE BOYFRIENDS (that you have IN SHIPPY EYES). ANSWER THE QUESTION COMPLETELY - AVOIDING IS NOT AN OPTION.

[Glyph]

Rolling her eyes and rocking back on her heels, Glyph gives a heavy sigh. The look in her eyes is resigned as she peers from under her bangs. Blowing a stray strand out of her face, she rests her chin in her hand and slumps her shoulders, looking incredibly irritated.

"... Fine." She huffs, pointedly turning her gaze away, "If it'll get you shippers off my back." Straightening suddenly, the hedgehog glares sharply and crosses her arms. "But this is purely hypothetical, you got that?"

"Okay, since you've got me paired with just about every male character here, I'm just gonna go with the top four."

"Let's see... Lex. Um. Ew." Glyph crinkled her nose, "He set my best friend on fire. How do you think I like him? I think he's a sadistic, psychopathic firebug, and I'll throttle him if I ever see him again." The anger in her voice didn't quite match the cheerful expression plastered across her face, but perhaps that's the idea. "Of course, I'm sure he has redeeming qualities... Somewhere." She went on, begrudgingly, "I suppose tenacity would be one of them. And I guess there's some sort of civility... somewhere. Buried beneath layers of psycho. Why else would he let us go?" Scrunching her face into an impossible shape at the admission, the hedgehog snorted.

"Then I guess there's Mineto. I don't know him too well yet, but he seems... unique. Snarky. He dances to his own beat. He doesn't need anyone's approval. He's a leader." She smirks, "And I can appreciate his sarcasm."

"Moving on to Vesper." An incredulous look passes across her eyes, " Really? Vesper? Sigh..." Again, the hedgehog rolls her eyes and purposefully looks away. "Vesper's my best friend. Has been for almost half a decade now. He's kind and thoughtful, and brave, despite what he thinks. He can be dark and broody and silent, but his heart's in the right place. I don't know what I'd do without him." Glyph shrugs, grinning sincerely, "I guess it wouldn't be too far fetched for someone to think we like each other... But he's my brother, first and foremost."

"And Fin... Well." Once more Glyph shrugs, and brushes away her bangs to peer from beneath her hand, "He's got his head on straight. He's compassionate, obviously, and a leader as well, as much as he denies it. He's capable of handling himself. That's more than I can say." She shudders, probably thinking of the gun again, "But he needs to loosen up just a little. He always sounds so formal."

She pauses, smiles faintly, then shakes her head and sends up a pointed stare, "Satisfied? I'm sure everything I've said can and will be twisted and used against me."

[Hally]

............ Satisfied, actually. But please note that what you said about Fingal was my main inspiration for "Too Cold". <3

'NOTHER QUESTION, BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE IS ASKING.

What do you think of Hallow, that pissy yellow echidna? <3
