MARCH Q&A (All Characters and Ely) (Patreon)

Interviewer: Welcome to the Q&A! Please make yourselves comfortable.

the students sit near to their respective dorm master, the doctor stares at W4tch=R

Interview: Let’s start!

Interviewer: Vee has questions for Damian, “Have you ever been to the human realm or seen it through the eyes of one of your crows who may have been through the portal?”, “Do you wear makeup or is it natural? (if you wear it please stop youre too much of a baddie to cover your face babygirl)”, and “Is the horse you rode to get us after the battle yours?”

Damian: No, my father is very strict on who comes in and out of the portal. And, yes, although the horse currently lives in the castle.

Interviewer: No, Damian does not wear makeup. He has a scar on his eye, that’s it. (And yes, I need to update Damian’s visual.)

Interviewer: For Ezekiel from the same person, “Why were you naked and sweaty that morning?” And “How old are you?”

Ezekiel: clears his throat and adjusts his masks Because it is hot. I am 27.

Interviewer: From SadFrogInc.🇵🇸, “How tall is everyone, or at least some of the more major characters?”

Damian: 200cm

Osiris: 195cm

Ailith: 198cm

Interviewer: For Damian from the same person, “Do you have favorite crows?”, and “Are you able to feel when one of your crows dies?”

Damian: I do not have a favorite. Each one of them is special. Yes, I do.

Interviewer: For Osiris from the same person, “Do you enjoy being around your students?”, “Is being a teacher something you enjoy?”, “Was it difficult for you to adjust to Norlyria’s cold weather?”, and “How many “puppets” do you have, and is there any rhyme or reason as to why you choose them?”

Osiris: Yes, Puff can be very handful some-

Puff: Only me?!

Osiris: smiles at Puff Yes, Puff. Yes, I enjoy spending time with them. I do like teaching. No. As for the puppets, I do not have any of them anymore. They gave their approval for any type of experimentation before they passed away.

Interviewer: From the same person, Cyra, “Are you and Osric twins? You both look more alike in comparison to your other siblings”, for Tristen, “Do you need Twyla as much as she needs you?”, and for Azrael, “Are you able to kind of switch your ability on and off?” And “Is using your ability strenuous?”

Cyra: glances at Magnus No, we aren’t. But we do have the same father. Osric is younger than me.

Tristen: Of course! Twins should always stick together.

Azrael: No, I can’t. I’m used to it. My eyes do get dry easily. Also, I had trouble finding my balance when I was just a child learning how to walk. I believe it has something to do with my ability.

Interviewer: From the same person, the doctor, “How long have you and Percy known each other? Did you meet as apprentices?” And “Are you aware of the irony in you liking apples, considering there is the saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”

Plague Doctor: I met him during apprenticeship. No, I have never heard of that. That saying isn’t true at all.

Interviewer: From the same person, for… W4tch=R… yawns, “Do you see MC as your friend? Or family?”, “Is there a source for your existence?”, and, “Why are you different from the other, more violent, “sleep paralysis demons”?”

W4tch=R: I see you as my family! My source? I have no idea! I am different from them because I am smart! I am the SMARTEST.

Interviewer: From 🇺🇦 Vi ˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙, for Ezekiel, the doctor, “What inspired you to become a doctor, was it a personal experience or something simple as wanting to earn enough money & be respected by people?”, “Describe your perfect day off once the plague is over and you have more room to breathe.”, and “What is your most desirable thing to do as of now?”

The doctor: I want to be a doctor to help people. A perfect day without the plague… that would be reading under a tree during a sunny day with a slice of- a whole apple pie by my side. To eat my apple pie sighs loudly how long will this take?

Interviewer: From the same person, for Magnus, “What is your favorite memory with MC?” And “What is the first thing you will do when you return home together with MC? Also, will you consider giving up drinking and smoking when you get back home?”

Magnus: That time when we sneaked at the Vaeyar’s burial site grins, that was fun. I will definitely have to make sure we are safe first. Yes, I’ll give up on those.

Interviewer: For Osiris, from the same person, “Why do you dislike it when people call you a prince?”and “How did you start doing your experiments and what pushed you to do it?”

Osiris: Because most of the time it’s said in a mocking tone. Vaeyars has always been doing experiments for the greater good. I am trying to contribute my learnings to the world.

Interviewer: From Lulu (previously (de)Lulu), for Magnus, “What’s one/a couple of the things you miss most from the human world?”, “Do you have a favourite artifact?” and “who’s your least favourite student?”

Magnus: tries to light a cigarette

The doctor: Do not smoke.

Magnus: mutters a curse, places the cigarette back in his pocket Everything, I miss everything especially food and music. I like them all. Actually, one of my favorites is the one y/n broke. Acacius.

Acacius: I hate you too.

Interviewer: From the same person, for Ezekiel, “What’s your favourite season?” And “If apples didn’t exist, what would be your favourite?”

The doctor: Spring. What a sad world that would be. I can’t think of any.

Interviewer: From the same person, for Buddy, “Would you ever let us choose one of your tattoos or piercings to get?”, “What’s your own go-to order at fast food restaurants, and do you also eat it from your own?”, and “Have you got a pet or considered having one?”. For Marcus, “Have you got a pet or considered having one?” And “You wore a silver watch once, do you own any other ones? and do you own things like rings or bracelets too?”

Buddy: What’s with the sudden formality? chuckles Anyway, I would let you choose my piercing. Burgers, and yes I do eat our burgers. I like our burgers. I have none at the moment, I’m considering getting something exotic.

Marcus: No, I don’t have any pets. I’ll consider getting one when I get more extra time. I only have a silver watch for work, and an outdoor watch. No bracelets. I don’t like rings. But I’ll wear a wedding ring.

Buddy: HE IS HINTING! He is hinting.

Marcus: Oh, shut up!

Interviewer: From WhichWitch, “I’m kind of curious to know more about Twyla and Tristen. It seems like they’re very dependent on each other, at least Twyla is - is there a reason for this?”

Tristen: We have an extremely busy and strict family. We had no friends. We basically spent all our younger years together.

Interviewer: From xiarm3, for Twyla, Acacius, and Winika, “What do you think of (Y/N) and what do you like the most about them?” And “What do you usually do when (Y/N) is away?”

Twyla: Y/N listens to me. I like that. I usually distract myself by playing the piano.

Acacius: A strong person. Y/N is also extremely kind. I spend my time in the greenhouse.

Winika: Oh, she/he is a very brave person! I like her/him because she/he is very easy to talk to. I pray for her/his immediate and safe return.

Interviewer: From Tuna, for Ezekiel, “Do you have any favourite food other than apple pie? Like second best food you would love to eat if apple pie isn't available.” 

The doctor: Pottage with lots of vegetables. As long as y/n makes it it’s the best.

Interviewer: From Sora, for Magnus, “Will u teach y/n how to fight at some point in time?”. For Damian, “Why do u look at y/n files so often?”

Everyone turns to Damian

Damian: I look at all my students’ files during my free time. clears his throat Well, y/n’s files are very interesting. It gives me a glimpse of how this other world operates.

Magnus: Maybe.

Interviewer: From Midnightstarss, for Ezekiel, “What were your parents like? I'm very curious.”

The doctor: Lovely people, but they were taken away too early.

Interviewer: From Lexie, for Damian, “How much of the human world do you know about?  Have you ever been to it?”

Damian: No, I haven’t been in it. I have heard stories, seen pictures from y/n’s files.

Interviewer: From Typegingi, for Buddy and Marcus, “If you could have any superpower, what would you have?”, and “What’s your fav song/ band?”. For W4tc=R, “Are you still alive?”

Buddy: Ohh, I like this one. I think I’m already strong and fast enough. I would like to be bullet proof. I like Deftones, Arctic Monkeys, and Temporex.

Marcus: gives Buddy a concerning look I’d like to fly. I’ve been listening to classical music for some time now instead of heavy metal.

W4tch=R: starts banging the floor with his fists Of course, I AM! They exist therefore, I am alive.

Interviewer: From Iseult (I love Oda), for Ezekiel, “How old were you when you started developing interested for medicine ?” And “We know that you have red hair and blue eyes but who did you get them from ? (Your mom ? Your dad ?)”

The doctor: At a very early age, I used to feel excited when I see a doctor in town. I admire them very much. From my mother.

Interviewer: From Jae, for Damian, “Does Damian do the grooming of his crows? Like bathing? Or taking care of their wings?”

Damian: They do have numerous bird baths. I provide them medical attention if needed, and I make sure that they are eating well.

Interviewer: From Blushing fanny staring at tree, for Zeke (the doctor), “How tall is Zeke?”

The doctor: 178cm

Interviewer: From Gerjoliii, for Magnus, “Could we know what Magnus’ tattoo is exactly? What does it look like>

Magnus: You wanna see it? lifts his shirt

Interviewer: It looks like a cyber sigilism tattoo.

Interviewer: From Jae, for Osiris, “How about dye Osiris’s hair? (Definitely not on accident)”

Osiris: No, don’t dye my hair. 

Interviewer: From Zydeco07, for Boris, “Why do you refuse to get marry?”, for Gareth, “We know you’re too busy to have a partner but do you have any personalities preference?”, and for Magnus, “When will you stop dating multiple women and would you date a woman that’s strong enough to kick your butt?

Boris: clears throat Well, I do not ‘strongly’ refuse, I just haven’t met someone.

Gareth: Do I have to answer this question?

Interviewer: Yes.

Gareth: I prefer someone who is kind-hearted, compassionate, gentle, and caring.

Magnus: I DID. I already stopped dating multiple women. Ever since I got stuck in Norlyria, I have been slowly sending out these heartbreaking letters to these lovely women. AND YES, I actually like strong women.

Interviewer: From Primrose, for Buddy, “Is he a furry?”

Buddy: NO.

Interviewer: From Boxten <3, for Winika, “What is Winika’s favourite food and flower? Please tell her I love her so much KIKI.”

Winika: Oh, I love you too! I love financiers. I have lots of favorite flowers… one of them is whistling bell.

Acacius: folds his arms over his chest

Interviewer: This is from Rott1ng (moony’s version), question to any of the dorm master, “What subjects are there in school? And how many teachers?”

Ailith: It varies on the year of the student. For the first year there are seven subjects and seven teachers.

W4tch=R: hands a piece of paper to you

Interviewer: Oh, uhm.. we have another set of questions! From Sel, “Do you ever get weirded out by Y/N’s/ Magnus’ human lingo? Like when they say something unfamiliar, do you ever think "what the fuck does that even mean?”

the rest of the Dorm Master characters nod

Interviewer: From the same person, for Magnus, Damian, and Osiris, “Can you talk about your younger years? what were your teenage years like? how did you spend your days? what were your education system and social life like?”

Osiris: remains silent

Magnus: I had so much fun. I always hang out with my friends. I’m always in the arcade. And I got myself a nice degree.

Damian: I grew up in a strict household. Now that I think about it, I cannot remember much about my teenage years. I do remember when I was scolded by my uncle during my early years for attempting to dress up one of my crows.

Interviewer: From the same person, for Damian, “How do you prevent your crows from pooping all over the city and on peoples heads? do you give them commands, or do they have scheduled pooping hours?”, “Are you insecure about the scar on your face?”, and “What were your thoughts when you first saw Y/N? when they walked into your office in human clothes, were you weirded out?”, and for Boris, “Would you consider yourself a secondary father figure in Damian’s and Nainika’s lives? did they seek emotional support from you in their childhood? and what was their mother like?”

Damian: My crows are… polite. They do their business somewhere far from people. No, I’m not. I like my scar. It was very strange to see someone wearing such clothes. If my father’s letter about y/n arrived earlier, then I wouldn’t find it strange.

Boris: Yes, I consider myself as their secondary father figure since Damian’s father is always away and Daemor, our oldest brother, was of course busy ruling Norlyria and taking care of Ryllis and Osiris. takes a deep breath Nainika does seek emotional support most of the time. Damian is more likely to keep it to himself. Their mother is… a nice person.

Interviewer: That’s it! Thank you so much!

——————————— (Elysium’s Q&A)

Kudo: If dorm master characters lived in the human world who would listen to Lana del Rey?

- Cyra :)

Lea: How do you come up with your stories? And how long does it take to make a choices game/ chapter?

- I just stare into space and think. Listening to music also gives me ideas. One Dorm Master episode takes several hours to make. Standalone choice games takes almost two hours.

Vee: Can you accept elytrons as your fandom name i promise it has no bad meaning 🔥

- That’s a cool name, Vee. But will the people accept it?

SadFrogInc.🇵🇸:

What nationality are you? 

- One time I told Damian’s father that his shirt is inside out when in fact it is not. He fell for my trick in front of thousands of people. I said I am very sorry and that I’ll just leave. He said, “Yes, you should leave. You should leave Norlyria.” I basically got fired as a Norlyrian, but that’s fine because I am now residing in the Trident living my best life.

For the more long-running series (e.g. Plague Doctor’s Assistant, Dorm Master, Strange City Files), do you have an ending for them in mind, or do you just plan as you go?

- They already have an ending! Except for Strange City Files :)

🇺🇦 Vi ˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙ :

At the end of the day, what is the most rewarding thing for you?  What makes you feel happy about what you are doing?

- Reading all the comments. Writing alone makes me very happy.

Is there something that was said to you by a follower that really touched your heart? No need for nicknames or anything like that

- It always warms my heart every time someone tells me that my stories help them feel better, inspired them to write or draw again after a long hiatus, or that they appreciate my hard work, the characters, and the storylines.

As a fellow writer I am interested in what your favorite tropes to write/read might be!

- I love reading weak characters slowly finding courage and bravery (is that a trope?).

What was your favorite one shot/short story to write? Maybe multiple? :) 

- “Snooguins” I was actually planning on making that a series. An apocalyptic sci-fi. But it seems like no one was interested. I enjoyed writing “Bound by Blindness” too.

Is there something that surprised you about people's opinions? Maybe while planning something you anticipated one reaction but it turned to be completely different?

• Reaper, DATE THE REAPER. I almost dropped this series. To be fair, I only realized how horrendous the story was when I was already in the middle of the series. It surprised me because no one else noticed it. I’m not going to say anything more. Kudos to those who will find out why.

Alicia: Is there anything that dorm master, or any other story games are inspired by? 

- The living situation of the new students in Sourenth is inspired by Dune :)

Xiarm3: What made you get into writing? I rlly love your works!

- Thank you so much! When I realized I can transfer the stories I make up in my head into writing, I just never stopped.

Tuna: I love your writing. Do you mind if I asked how you make sure your plot and the storyline are organised? You inspired me to get into writing, but I got too many ideas and ended up with nothing 

- Thank you so much! I remember every storyline. Sometimes, I write scenes or dialogues in my notes. But since the beginning of March, I’ve been trying to organize everything, I started writing all important details per episode of Dorm Master on Google Docs. Just write, Tuna. Write everything, and then organize it later :)

Sel:

Did you ever think it would go this far when you first opened your page?

- Nope!

Is it hard to balance your daily life with story writing? does it ever tire you out?

- Not at all… except during a busy holiday season. Story writing is very relaxing to me.

Was this page your first long-term story-writing experience, or had you done it before?

- No, I wrote a few books before under a different name.

Coffee_cover: Is there a character (or multiple characters) you enjoy writing for the most?

- George (Bounty Hunter), Magnus, Puff, Elio, All Queen (Dorm Master), Buddy (Strange City Files), and Together, Forever guy.

Typegingi:

How do you find the time to write and post almost every day for over a year, and how do you stay motivated to do it?

- I always find a time. I get grumpy when I don’t write. The nice comments and seeing that my stories are slowly unfolding keep me motivated. 

Are you into horror media stuffs or something?

- I rarely watch films or TV series of any genre, but I do love horror, mystery, and thriller books :)

Lulu (previously (de)Lulu)

What’s your favourite out of all your series? (finished or still active ones, doesn’t matter 👍)

- Dorm Master, Bounty Hunter, and Lone Man

Did you ever expect tpda and dorm master to be this long?

- TPDA, no. Dorm Master, yes :)

Thank you so much to those who submitted their questions!
