While things are getting better a lot of things are still a trainwreck on my end.
While my cat has responded to the thyroid medication, she can’t take it as a pill which is the prime reason for all of her side effects (including being vomity as all hell)
So the mighty 15 year old furball is going to be getting a topical gel in her ears, and is on anti-nausea medication and a reduced dose of the pills until she can get on the gel.
That’s one thing that’s getting better…on the other hand, the day after I posted my message about things going on pause, an elderly family member banged themselves up in a fall and is still recovering.
So we are still in wait and see mode over here. When we know more, you’ll know more. 🙁
I had originally planned on having him make it back in time for Requiems epilogue. Now, I’m pretty much planning on just killing the fucker off so people quit asking about him.
Don’t do that. I think I am the main one asking. I understand that he was mainly to set up the young gun taking over but I was taken with his character and keep thinking that considering his longevity, he has know some of what is going on already. There also unanswered questions with him, like why has he lived so long? I was always fan of Heinlein’s Lazarus Long and see a similiarity between the two characters. I will shut up about him now and wait until the epilogue.
If that was what you wanted to know, why didn’t you just ask? It never was an unanswered question. Start here http://requiem.spiderforest.com/?p=2117 It explains Caladharas long-life. I did them back in November of 2006.
And oh god Lazarus Long 🙁 If I would have had any idea that anyone would see any similarity between the Mariner and Long, I would have axed the Mariner from the comic before it even began.
And I actually like some of the stuff with him in it. I liked Methuselahs Children, and I even liked parts of Time Enough for Love as well. It just seemed that Long stopped being a character after Time, and just too much of an authors insert.
My pictures of immortality mainly come from other sources which include a a couple of great vampire novels “Those Who Hunt The Night” and “Empire of Fear”
No.

Now, that’s funny!
Plus, people asking about ‘throw-away’ characters is really something of a compliment. It means that you’re a good story-teller
