Question time! Because Toby trivia is fun.

It's been a while since we've done this, and with A Red-Rose Chain coming up, I figure it's time to once again offer to answer your questions about the world. So...

I will make ten blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the questions that I think are the most interesting/fun/relevant, and will detail them to my heart's content. There's a lot to learn and know, and asking loses you nothing. Remember that nothing I answer here is full canon until it appears in a book: I will always reserve the right to change things if the series shifts between now and then.

Leave your questions on this post. I'm declaring comment-reply amnesty for any that I choose not to answer this time, since otherwise, my wee head may explode.

Game on!

(Geas is singular; geasa is the plural. I learned this while editing.) :)

Apropos of nothing other than me dropping by too frequently to check what's new) I've been experimenting with thinking of the new food allergies as geasa, mostly to see if that reduces my frustration with the anaphylaxathon...

I have the less dramatic issue of celiac disease. So a gluten geas is something I relate to. I sympathize, especially since allergen contamination is such a problem. Other people not grasping your geas is disastrous.

So far mine have been deeply annoying rather than disastrous - I caught them early, so all things considered my sensitivity isn't super high (a speck of nut dust or sesame dust isn't a problem) and it's more about making me very sick and trashing my lungs (and totally throwing off my blood pressure regulation, and getting covered with rashes) than actually being life threatening. It wasn't that big a deal until the sesame hit earlier this year, but while I cook a lot and don't feel deprived in the normal order of things, eating out is getting to be a bit painful, and I have to restrain myself from blandly explaining to the server that I'm imperfectly adapted to the environment and can only eat your human foods with caution. Gluten is rather more pervasive.
