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!

I may be misremembering because I've just started my first reread, but it seems to me that, with the exception of the Cait Sidhe and Luidaeg, the fae don't seem to have a sense of humor. Surely they have one and we and Toby aren't seeing it. (So many terrible things happen when she's around, after all.) So, are the fae the court jester and pratfall types? Do they tell "a Twylyth Teg, a Daoine Sidhe, and a Candela walk into a bar" jokes? Do they tell stories with the bite of Twain or Pratchett? And how do they feel about human humor? Are there fae who frequent comedy clubs or watch the Simpsons?
