Now, I can’t remember if there was a Fiona Question and Answer period before the site crashed. But, since you asked for it, here it is. Ladies and gentlemen, your favorite freckled orphan with the uncontrollable bangs: Miss Fiona Truitt.

11.21.06 - Crazyninny wonders:

Why, Hello Fiona! I hope your doing well!

So, wanting to ask, before you came into the Grand Blue Door Inn, did you ever belive in the superstion? Did your mother before, Bless her soul, pass, did she ever mention the paranormal to you?
How are you feeling about a Vampire sleeping in the same Inn as you? Do you know where Lucas sleeps? Do you know while the surch for the gem went on, that if they even went throw your room?
And have you named that nice little kitty?

Uhhm. I don’t think Mother ever really talked about it. I was still kind of young when she passed away. I don’t remember a lot of our conversations. So I never much thought about superstition, just what I heard from the other girls at Pricketts.

I don’t particularly mind a vampire, no. I’ll admit it’s unsettling. Yes, I know where Lucas sleeps, yes, I know how the search went. Don’t tell anyone, but I sort of followed them through the hotel.

The cat? No, I haven’t named her. How about Eight? She has a sideways eight on her chest.

11.27.06 - Mongoose asks:

I’m afraid I can’t think of any deep and meaningful questions at the moment, so, how about this?

1) What’s your favorite color?

2) Do you have any favorite clothes?

3) Do you enjoy you schooling?

11.27.06 - And Nate asks:

Fiona, just how old are you anyway? I don’t believe that’s ever been mentioned.

My favorite color is green. I don’t have any favorite clothes, but I do like what I got in town. I can’t remember having such nice things.

I like some classes. I like reading, writing, history, I don’t like arithmatic. My least favorite.

I’m eleven. I’ll be twelve at the end of August.

11.28.06 - B wants to know:

How are you adjusting to living at the Grand Blue Door? It must be different from what you’re used to. Do you think you’ll be able to stand living there for very long?

The people are certainly interesting, but what about people you could consider to be friends?

And honestly I’m worried about your safety there. What with your recent near abduction by a Harpy, do you feel safe at all? You were very brave, even if it did ruin your dress.

You know, I actually am enjoying staying at the hotel. Because it’s so different. Normal life is so horribly dull. Rise, go to class, do your homework, have another scheduled meal, then back to bed. No one there likes me. They think I’m strange. Here? I’m not strange in the least. I think I’m realizing something about myself, that I favor the different over the mundane.

My friends? Well Edgar, definetly. And Mr. Hattigan, he’s very impressive and heroic. I do like the moon twins, they’re fun. And Lucas is tolerable when he isn’t being such a donkey.

Do I feel safe? Hm. Well, I haven’t had much time to think about that. I suppose I’m not safe at all, with harpies, and vampires, and thieves, and who knows what else. But I don’t feel unsafe. I’m really not concerned about it. I have to admit, it’s a bit exciting. Gosh, do you think I get that from my father? He was around monsters all the time and never broke a sweat, Hattigan says.

12.13.06- Kingdom asks:

(1) How did you feel when the others, the adults passed over your comment about the Archduke in the tower? Must have been infuriating.

(2) Why do you think he was in the tower in the first place?

I felt annoyed when the adults ignored me. They really ought to be asking us what we think about all this, after all. I may be young, but I like to think I’m pretty smart.

The Archduke’s room is in the tower. I suppose Edgar wanted him far away from the rest of us, and placed his, er, coffin up there.

12.13.06 - Kino is curious:

Hey there Fiona.

What’s your favorite thing to do at the Grand Blue Door? And what’s your favorite thing about the hotel?

Hello. My favorite thing? Well. There aren’t that many toys about to play with. The Moon twins brought a few, and Lucas has a handful, like tops and balls. I wish they had a bicycle I could ride. I’ve been wishing for a bicycle of my own forever. But we usually just have fun playing. There’s all sorts of places to explore. There’s a little rock cave down on the beach, and we build things in the sand. Lucas tried to show off that he can catch fish when he wades into the water, but he hasn’t done it yet.

My favorite part of the hotel? Uhmm. My room. I never had a room of my own, and I can see the ocean from the window.

12.13.06 - The best letter in the alphabet B asks:

Fiona, have you ever gone swimming? It occurs to me that the hassle of finding a proper bathing suit, if such exists, almost wouldn’t be worth the effort.

I have gone swimming. When I was little, my mother took me to a public bathing house. I haven’t got a bathing suit anymore, but I have gone wading in the ocean by the hotel. My first time in the ocean! I’m sure Mrs. Germaine would throw a fit if she knew I removed my shoes and stockings in front of a boy, so don’t tell her if you see her.

12.19.06 - The Real Nate says:

Someone’s using my name to post questions. -.-;

That aside, how’s your mirror image friend doing?

It’s… well. She, I guess. She’s all right. Really very polite and considerate. I don’t think she sleeps, but she likes to talk. But doesn’t keep me up all night. Very curious, too. Wants to know all about me. I don’t think she has a name. But she has a very odd voice. That might just be from having to talk through the glass, it’s a bit muffled. I don’t know.
