What do you think about rap? Fernald: I'm not crazy about it. Fiona: Me, either. Then, again, I'm really not into music.

This was great! I lol'd when Fernald said what his favorite food was. He certainly seems like the type who would enjoy cheese. ;D AWESOME. I can definitely see him as the sort of person who would like Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath. That is/was my ex boyfriend's favorite band, and he had this really cool "Electric Funeral" tattoo on his arm. Also, it's really nice to see that Fiona and Isadora are best friends now. Jenny and I did the same thing with Esme and Colette in two of our RPs: in the first one they didn't get along, but in our current one they're the best of friends. I have a question: Is Fernald and Fiona's last name "Caliban" in the books, because I completely missed that little detail if it is. ^_^;;

Actually, no, the books never mentioned that - but I was reading some of the theories on this board, and some have suggested that Friday might a the half-sister to Fernald and Fiona. So, thus, tI just decided to along with that.

I like the idea of Friday being related to Fernald and Fiona. I can just picture Friday following Fernald around and getting on his nerves. ;D And Quigley's middle name is Webster! Awww. Is that after the dictionary, or just because it's catchy? *laughs* Carmelita annoys everybody. Except for Esme. And good for you, Quigley! Drugs are bad.

Yeah, I figured it'd be a neat idea - and there'd also be a ten year difference between all three of them. Fernald was born in 1955, and he ran away from home at 17. Fiona was born in 1965, which is the same year as the official schism in the VFD. Friday was born in 1975 - but, for the early years of her life, life on Ishmael's island was the only life she know. Also, yeah, I just figured that Quigley Webster Quagmire sounded nice. Now, it's Duncan's turn. What is your name? Duncan Lawrence Quagmire How old are you? 17 Height? 5' 4'' tall You Got Any Bad Habits? I tend to bite my nails. You A Virgin? Yeap! Who's your Mate? Jennifer Parker! Have Any Kids? Not yet! Favourite Food? bacon cheeseburgers Favourite Colour? red Most Annoying Person? Count Olaf and Troupe, Carmelita Space, Vice Principal Nero, Mr. Strickland, Douglas Needles Best Friend? Quigley, Isadora, Violet, and Klaus Any Secrets? When I was forced to attend Vice Principal Nero's violin performances, I would pass the time by masturbating. Love Anyone? Jennie-baby! TACOS? Yeah, they're good! Ever Slept In All Day? A few times. Species/Race? I'm a white human. Crush? Jenn-Jenn! Favourite Band/Singer? Huey Lewis and The News Eye Colour/s? slate-blue Skin? I'm nicely tanned. Jenn also loves that dimple in my left cheek. Fat/Average/Slim? Average, I think Rain, Sunshine? Sunshine, most of the time. Camping Or Staying Home? staying home Dog, Cat? dogs Believe In Aliens? It'd be nice to think they exist. Natural Born, or Clone? Well, I might look like Quigley - but natural born! Teeth? I brush them, three times a day. Ever Destroyed Something Out Of Blind Rage? Not really. Are there any unusual things about you? Well, I'm a triplet and an heir to sapphires. How Much Food/Drink Do You Need A Day? I try to get three square meals, but I'm not above snacks. Favourite Place? My bedroom! Pet Peeve? People who to hurt others. Have you ever done drugs? Nope! What do you think about Michael J Fox? He's a great actor. People say that Quigley and I look like him. Are your feet ticklish? Yes, very! In fact, I absolutely cannot stand being tickled there! What do you think about Led Zeppelin? They're a good band, great '70s legends! What is your view on woman's rights? Why not? What do you think about The Beatles? I like some of their songs, but not others. What do you think about rock and roll music? *singing* I love rock and roll! Put another dime in the jukebox, baby! What do you think about rap? Don't care for it, so much. Do you like the word "harmony"? Beautiful word! So is "utopia"!

Duncan and Jennifer is such a cute pairing. And he calls her "Jenn-Jenn"! That's so sweet. Bacon-cheeseburgers are my favorite, too. The restaurant/bar up the road makes them, and I used to get them until the bacon started getting all soggy (I prefer mine burnt). Guess what? I finished Jerome! Thanks for suggesting that I do the interview with him-- I had a lot of fun with it. *** What is your name?Jerome David Squalor. How old are you?Thirty-three. Height?Six-foot-one. You Got Any Bad Habits?Well, I tend to cry a lot for a grown man. And I blush in a way that my wife finds charming, but that my father insists makes me appear even more feminine. You A Virgin?*blushes* Up until a year after I met and married my wife. Who's your Mate?Esmé, my darling wife and cherished sweetheart. Have Any Kids?Yes, two: Carmelita, Esmé’s and my adopted daughter; and Emma, my wife’s daughter from her… *clears throat* *blushes* …Previous relationship. Favourite Food?Pancakes, of course. Favourite Colour?Sky-blue (the color of my wife’s eyes). Most Annoying Person?That man with sunglasses I ran into at Veblen Hall who kept calling me “Jerry”. I would have told him I wasn’t fond of the nickname, but I certainly wasn’t going to argue with him over it. Best Friend?*takes out handkerchief* The dearly departed Jacques Snicket. Any Secrets?Well… *glances around briefly to see who might be watching* I do suffer considerably from what you’d call maieusophoria. *throws hands over face and blushes profusely* Love Anyone?My wonderful wife and our two darling daughters. TACOS?I suppose so… if my cousin made them. Mexican food happens to be his specialty. Ever Slept In All Day?On occasion. Though I’d probably have to be ill. Species/Race?Human/White. Crush?Does my wife count? Favourite Band/Singer?Michael Bublé. Eye Colour/s?Green. Skin?I have a mild tan. Fat/Average/Slim?As you can tell, I’m quite chubby. Rain, Sunshine?Sunshine, of course. Rainy days feed my wife’s depression, and it breaks my heart to see her looking so distraught. Camping Or Staying Home?Staying home and cuddling with my wife. Dog, Cat?Cats. Dogs tend to frighten me. Believe In Aliens?Well, I suppose anything’s possible. And I have read some very convincing stories from people claiming to have encountered them. Natural Born, or Clone?Natural born. Teeth?Not perfect, but not terrible, either. Ever Destroyed Something Out Of Blind Rage?Certainly not! If I’m feeling angry, then I go up to the roof of the penthouse and scream where no one can hear me. Are there any unusual things about you?Well, I do enjoy caressing my wife’s stomach whenever we’re alone together… *blushes and looks away* How Much Food/Drink Do You Need A Day?Aside from the three-course meal, too much. I need to go on a diet, but Esmé insists otherwise. Favourite Place?I’m torn between the Veritable French Diner (the place where Esmé and I first met); and my seventy-one bedroom penthouse apartment (the place in which we’ve had some of our most romantic encounters). Pet Peeve?When people call me “Jerry”. Have you ever done drugs?Goodness, no! What sort of person do you think I am?! What do you think about Michael J Fox?He’s a good actor, and I’ve always enjoyed his work. I grew up watching Family Ties and the Back to the Future films. Are your feet ticklish?Very much so. Why? You aren’t planning to tickle my feet, are you? What do you think about Led Zeppelin?They aren’t my favorite band, but I don’t despise them. My younger brother is a big fan, though. What is your view on woman's rights?I believe very strongly in the proposal that women’s rights should be equal to that of man’s. What do you think about The Beatles?They’re one of the few rock and roll bands I can honestly say I enjoy. What do you think about rock and roll music?Well, it isn’t my favorite genre of music. I prefer something with soft, melodic tones. Such as soft rock and classical music. What do you think about rap?You mean that awful stuff in which men degrade women? It’s dreadful! Do you like the word "harmony"?It’s a beautiful word. It reminds me of a world in which everyone gets along and no one ever argues.

Thanks, Quags! I love your Jerome, too! I can totally see him enjoying the music of Simon and Garfunkel. It's good to see that he and Esme are still in touch-- some people are just more compitable as friends than as a couple. And I remember you telling me once that Jerome and Kathy were planning to name their son after Jacques. It's perfect!
I am thinking of doing Esme and Carmelita next. It's O.K. with you to post 'em here, right?

Quags: I love your Isadora, and it's so cool that you made her a vegetarian. Soko: Volt is awesome and always makes me laugh. *** What is your name?Carmelita Jessica Spats Squalor. How old are you?Thirteen. Height?Five-foot-one and still growing. You Got Any Bad Habits?Well, I do have a bit of a temper. I also get into a lot of fights with the kids at school, and sometimes I argue with my parents. You A Virgin?Uh… yeah! My parents would kill me if I wasn’t. Who's your Mate?*giggles* Nero! Have Any Kids?Heck, no! But someday when I’m grown up, I’d like to. Favourite Food?Any kind of fish— especially salmon. Oh, and parsley soda. And strawberry ice-cream. Favourite Colour?Pink! Most Annoying Person?Most definitely Geraldine Julienne. She published lies about Esmé in her dumb old newspaper, and made life for me and the Squalors really difficult. Best Friend?Lisa Logan. Any Secrets?I was abandoned by my biological parents when I was ten and sent to live in an orphanage. Shortly after that, I was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins ‘cause they thought couldn’t have any kids of their own. But then when Mrs. Jenkins found out she was pregnant, she and her husband sent me to live at Prufrock Preparatory School. Until I met Esmé, I was basically an orphan just like the Baudelaires and the Quagmires. Love Anyone?Nero, of course! And Esmé. And Jerome. And my little sister, Emma. TACOS?Yeah, they’re good. Especially the soft kind. Ever Slept In All Day?More times than I can count. Species/Race?Human/Spanish-Irish. Crush?Vice Principal Nero! Favourite Band/Singer?Avril Lavigne. Eye Colour/s?Azure. Skin?Pale with a lot of freckles. Fat/Average/Slim?I’m pretty skinny. Some people seem to think I’m too skinny, even though I eat a lot. Rain, Sunshine?It all depends on my mood. I tend to go more for sunny days, though. Camping Or Staying Home?Camping. I went with Lisa and her parents once, and it was fun. We went swimming in the lake, and even took a boat out and caught some fish. Unfortunately, Jerome and Esmé aren’t the outdoors-y types. Though they did promise we’d all go together sometime this summer. Dog, Cat?Dogs. I used to have one back when I lived with my biological parents. Believe In Aliens?I guess so. But it would help if I could actually see one for myself. Natural Born, or Clone?Natural-born. Teeth?Straight and white. Ever Destroyed Something Out Of Blind Rage?Once I threw a baseball at the window of the orphanage where I used to live. I was very angry with my parents for leaving me there, and so I needed something to take my anger out on. I got into a lot of trouble for that, but I was so upset I didn’t care. Are there any unusual things about you?You mean aside from having a crush on my vice principal? Not really. How Much Food/Drink Do You Need A Day?Three square meals. And snacks. I like snacks. Favourite Place?The roof of the penthouse apartment— it’s nice and quiet, and I’ve done some of my deepest thinking there. Pet Peeve?Whenever someone insults or criticizes one of my adoptive parents or my baby sister. If it’s me, I don’t mind so much and can handle it. But if it’s Esmé or Jerome or Emma who’s being targeted, then I’ll have no choice but to fight whoever’s responsible. Have you ever done drugs?I used to think about it back when I first returned to Prufrock Prep. None of my old friends wanted anything to do with me, and I got really depressed. But then I decided that nothing could be so bad that I’d actually turn to drugs, so I stopped thinking about it. What do you think about Michael J Fox?I thought he was cute in those Back to the Future and Teen Wolf movies. His personality in them sort of reminds me of my Uncle Andrew. Are your feet ticklish?A little bit, yeah. What do you think about Led Zeppelin?They’re pretty cool, and my uncle is a big fan. Sometimes when my family and I go visit, he’ll put on one of their albums for me to listen to. What is your view on woman's rights?They’re a very important part of our culture. I don’t like to think about where my mother or sister or I or any other female in the world would be if we didn’t have the same rights as men do. What do you think about The Beatles?Oh, I love them! They may be old, but they’re still a great band. Their style merges with every decade. What do you think about rock and roll music?As my mother would probably tell you (and I’m sure she will once you do this interview with her) that it’s some of the most smashing music that exists today. What do you think about rap?I don’t care for most of it, but there are a few good songs out there that I like. Do you like the word "harmony"?It’s an upbeat word and makes me feel happy.

The Volt Baudelaire one cracked me up - and, Emma, I loved your take on Carmelita! It's so ironic that, when I read the books, I find myself despising her - and, sometimes, I even fantasize about the Baudelaires doing unspeakable things to her. Not that I would ever really incorporate that in my fics, though. Yet, when I read your version of her, I do see her as a far more likable and sympathetic person - and that would definitely be one plausible explanation for why Carmelita was so mean during the series. This also raises another issue. Perhaps, Nero had some resentment issues with the Baudelaires - and the Quagmires, too, for that matter. We tend to forget that, prior to the fire, the Baudelaires pretty much lived an idyllic life - and practically had life handed to them on a silver platter. It's possible that Nero had some some of prejudice against wealthy patter - and, thus, felt a gleeful satisfaction at seeing the lives of wealthy children fall apart. Is that pretty much what your theory is? It's not that it would make his treatment of the Baudelaire children more acceptable, of course - but, at least, he actions would be more understandable. Well, now I'm off to do Justice Strauss - circa 1983: What is your name? Katherine Strauss Squalor How old are you? I'm in my 40s. Height? 5' 4'' tall You Got Any Bad Habits? I tend to be absent-minded - which, unfortunately, got me into some serious trouble. You A Virgin? Do I look like a virgin? *pats belly* Who's your Mate? Jerome Squalor. We've been married for almost a year, now. Have Any Kids? There's Friday, who we adopted - and we have another, on the way. *pats belly* Favourite Food? pasta puttenesca Favourite Colour? pink and purple Most Annoying Person? Plenty of them! Don't even get me started. In short, anyone who deliberately worked to make the lives of the Baudelaire orphans miserable. Best Friend? Hector, Charles, Phil, the Quagmire triplets, the Baudelaire orphans (Thank God they survived the whole ordeal!), and my dear Jerome. Any Secrets? I have a few. I'm not going to say them, though. Love Anyone? Jerome, of course! Also, Friday - and our dear little... *pats belly* TACOS? They're good! Ever Slept In All Day? Only when I'm sick. Species/Race? I'm human. What else could I be? Crush? I don't have a crush. I'm married to Jerome. Favourite Band/Singer? I like Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison. I also have a weakness for Simon and Garfunkel. Eye Colour/s? blue Skin? I have a light tan. Fat/Average/Slim? I'm a little on the plump side. Rain, Sunshine? I prefer sunshine - but rain is necessary, too. Camping Or Staying Home? Staying home, I guess - but I'd like to go camping, more often. Dog, Cat? I have a soft spot for cats. I also like dogs, as long as they're not too wild. Believe In Aliens? Haven't thought much about it, to be honest. It's possible, I guess. Natural Born, or Clone? Natural born, of course! Teeth? I still have all of them, including my wisdom teeth. Ever Destroyed Something Out Of Blind Rage? Can't say I have. Are there any unusual things about you? I had two boyfriends whose lives ended in tragedy. How Much Food/Drink Do You Need A Day? About three meals a day, and snacks. Favourite Place? My home. It's peaceful here, especially since Count Olaf is no longer living next to me. Pet Peeve? People who lack empathy or concern for others. Have you ever done drugs? Nope! I never touched those! What do you think about Michael J Fox? He seems quite talented. He reminds me of Quigley and Duncan Quagmire. Are your feet ticklish? When I was younger, they used to be very ticklish! Nowadays, though, I'm really not all that ticklish. What do you think about Led Zeppelin? I like Stairway to Heaven, but most of their songs are too noisy for my liking. What is your view on woman's rights? Let's just say that I'm extremely thankful we have them! What do you think about The Beatles? Oh, I like them - from time to time. What do you think about rock and roll music? Well, I like the oldies. Much of the modern stuck is not my cup of tea, though. What do you think about rap? Not my cup of tea, either. Do you like the word "harmony"? Oh, definitely! We need to have more of that!

Thanks so much, Quags! I didn't like Carmelita much when I first read the books, but I always found her to be an interesting character. I remember you telling me at one point that you fantasized about the Baudelaires doing not-so-noble things to her-- I would sometimes do that in response to the kids who picked on me when I was in school. Also, it's nice to know that you see her in a positive light when you read my take on her. I really like what you've pointed out about Nero having resentment against those wealthier than himself. It actually gives me an idea for a future fanfiction, seeing as I've never elaborated beyond the idea that he's simply poor because of his current employment position. OMG. Your take on Justice Strauss is just... I don't know... but I just adore it! It's so cute the way you make her chubby and Jerome the leaner of the two. It balances them out perfectly and is just CUTE. ;D *laughs* Kathy still has all of her wisdom teeth! I have two of mine left. I'll probably post my Esme interview later tonight, or possibly tomorrow if I don't get time.
