I dunno, been rsing at their bakery and diner a lot, so I've been wondering. Ears, blood, brains, fingers...

I doubt they get it from unwilling donors, heh, but maybe from gravedigging? That's an awful lot of fluids and parts though. Haha, oh well, not to over think things, just wondering. Always interesting to think about the Underground community. :3

What do you guys think? Maybe the graves of Shadowglen and Underground have some sort of deal or a treaty.

Oh this is a delightful and funny thread!! I love YOUR thoughts. Then the first thing that popped into MY head is that perhaps Ian is doing more in his lab than we know, muwahaha!! Maybe he's working on cloning body parts in petri dishes (making blood in beakers, too**) in his spare time, you know it's an extra job. So he's "moonlighting."

Not sure if ppl still use that term but years ago it meant when someone took a 2nd job, usually at night, cause they didn't make enough money in their day job. Back when it was frowned on to need more than one job to support yourself, your family etc (long time ago, in the 60's) people considered moonlighting to be beneath a person, undignified.

That would be a sort of funny thing, if you thought of it that way. Ian needs to moonlight in order to make money to support all his other work. Just as any artist (actor, painter, etc) needs to waitress or tend bar (or whatever) til they make it big. I like thinking of Ian earning money by selling his cloned and synthetic body parts to the bakery, ha ha ha!!! I think I came up with this because I figured that they'd need to supplement the grave digging. I just don't know how many graves there are, or how often people and/or beasts die in subeta.

**maybe the blood is like that synthetic stuff that the zombies drink on True Blood, ha ha!!

Dwah, you're makin' me blush, thanks for the compliment. ;3;

Haha, yeah, despite being a "neutral" character, I don't 100% trust Ian. So secretive on his reasons for working in darkside (darkmatter power? deal with maleria?), and working on stuff to catch MALERIA's interest to boot. Hrm, veeeery sus, my dear doctor. ❤️

I thought maybe Quentin would be the one, as they seem to be the graveyard caretaker in some way. BUT, I can totally see Ian having a hand in it as well, considering he seems to frequent Shadowglen for his experiments, Jaxon or Quentin. Also, who knows, could be related to his work on getting Jaxon a physical body. :O Seems like that could certainly dribble in re-animation.

But I do like the idea of synthetic parts too, ooo~ Haha, I also suppose there'd be a lot of grumble if it was mostly gravedigging. 8D;; I've seen how badly that ends up in history, eek.

Blush away, but you deserve the compliment! After I reply to what you said here I am going to paste the stuff that I was blabbing about on that other thread, which was totally off topic.

I have to say that I don't exactly know what you're talking about, not because you don't know what you're saying, but because I don't read stuff about characters here, etc. I never go to subetapedia, I never read anything about the backgrounds of characters, etc. I have a VERY good reason for not reading: I spent the better part of my life reading to educate myself (both formally and non formally) and I'm very tired of reading.

Now I just want to have fun. I read what ppl write to me cause I like to communicate, but I actually don't have the stamina to take the time to read. It's a long story, but I'm disabled and I need to get a laptop because sitting at a desk is VERY uncomfortable. Also, I never had much fun as a teen, so I'm being a teen now.

So, I don't really know anything about what you were saying about Ian and what he's doing in terms of Maleria etc. All I DO know is that he has been hanging around in Shadowglen because he and Jaxon are lovers!! I was SO jazzed when that came out in the end of the plot (and was confirmed by the prizes) because that was my prediction to a RL friend who sometimes plays here, and he thought I was out of my mind. Well Keith is gay and this is a very gay friendly site so it's about time they had a couple of openly gay characters. Hooray for that!!!

Yeah I think some of the ppl in subeta might have a problem with grave digging going on all the time, I mean to SOME ppl graves are sacred. I'm not one of those ppl. I think that burying ppl is weird. I'm a firm believer in cremation.

When (if) I die I want my body parts to all be donated, anything they can use, and if they want to study it, that's cool too. I have a connective tissue disorder that's genetic, so maybe they could find out more about how to deal with it (since it's very painful) if they studied the tissue. I don't know. I supposed I should contact the ED-S Foundation and inquire about it.

OK well here's the part that I was going to post on that other thread. If it's over the character limit, I'll send you a comment: ...this starts out sort of weird cause it was a continuation of something I was saying there about a lot of ppl not wanting to take the time to read more than a tweet:

I truly don't think that most ppl read long posts, there's too much of an emphasis on instant gratification. I just realized that we're totally off topic here, so if the forum police come after us, oh well. I think that would only happen if the person who originated the topic complained. What was this about, oh yeah this thread is actually about Maleria starting a war, I really forgot. I was never diagnosed with ADD, but I'm sure I have it.

So, back to what YOU were saying. You said you haven't done a lot of rplaying, oh you said you weren't very good at it. You also said you never shut up. Well that's me. Although, I have to tell you that I have been in a life of solitude for nearly 3 yrs and I am learning to appreciate the gift of being quiet. There are times when I go for days and talk to NO one. I mean it. I won't explain why here, but if you want to know we can take this to comments.

Sometimes the only talking I do for days is with my hands on they keyboard, and then I get quiet here too, and sometimes don't write at all for days. I just started posting on forums cause I want those forum shop things, lol. :)

As for age, I think I AM pretty Rad, and thanks again for saying that. I have two good friends here who are just 21 and almost 23. Sometimes ppl my own age really annoy me.

I'm a feminist (come from a long line of strong Irish women from Chicago, though I grew up in a small town in WI, I WAS born in Chicago) Now I live in a horrible city in California. It's very stuffy here. I'm not only a feminist and a person who is accepting of just about anyone or anything, but I consider myself queer in that I've been in long term relationships with both men and women. AND (heaven forbid) I'm not a Christian, though I WAS raised as one and I have NO problem with Jesus, I just don't see him in the fundamental way.

So now I'm SO way off topic that I hope someone doesn't slap me, but I deserve it if they do. I am so sensitive that I'd probably cry. I love that image of you jumping up on stages and singing, that's so cute. I also like that you said eee to express your excitement.

So I looked at your profile and it says that you're 18, was that 7 yrs ago, or is it now? I didn't think you could play here if you were under 13. I also deleted my entire profile a year ago (doing a dumb thing) so you're not alone. I had a very cool one that was all about the history of the name Cerredwyn. If you look at my profile you'll see one of the reasons that I'm so very sad and very alone in my life...this is probably over the character limit, we'll see.

giggles I don't have a problem with occasional forum derailment, esp with a small topic post like this. I'm sure a few off topic posts won't hurt on a non-important topic, and I certainly don't mind. :D

Oh yeah, to make a subeta related comment on this post, I did try to put the plot idea in suggestions. Wouldn't have done it without your suggestion, TY. ^^ Even if it doesn't go anywhere, glad to have gotten it out.

Yeah, some bits are from subetapedia, but no worries. ^^ And yeah, I'm jazzed that they finally came out with a gay couple, totally undeniable through the prizes!

And I'm glad that you get to have fun chatting around forums now, despite discomfort and disability. I wasn't really good at making friends when I was younger, since I was kinda jittery and quiet, so being able to have fun on forums and chats really helped me be less nervous online and IRL. :3 (I mean, I'm still nervous around strangers, but I can at least be open online sheepish laugh )

And I can totally get the long post issue. TL;DR. :c Spacing out long posts helps, but it's sad when things get ignored because of the length.

I'm also not religious, but not atheist either. Just like to observe the values and practices from various faiths, as long as they're not being pushy.

Also, I'm 20. I guess I didn't update it in a while. Man, can't believe I played this when I was 13. 7 years, whew. (I think 13 years was okay w/ parents permission)

I guess basically we can both agree that Ian could have a hand in the creation of synthetic parts of undead use. The man can turn kittens into chocolate, I'm sure he could do something like make synthetic parts. Wouldn't be the weirdest thing he's made. x'D

Hi again!

My brain is kind of dead tonight, and I really should go to sleep. I was posting on too many forums the other night and now I'm mixed up as to what I said in comments as opposed to what I said here (to you, specifically). The story of my life!!

I guess there wasn't too much more I wanted to say other than:I'm not an atheist either, but sometimes I feel that I'm agnostic. When I was in my late 20's and early 30's I felt very spiritual, sort of in a pursuit of new age ideas. Now I'm mainly neutral. I lost a lot of my spiritual feelings over the years, but who knows, they might return. I simply can't feel much these days. I'm definitely not religious. I think it's dogmatic and it gives ppl who aren't able to govern their own lives a strict set of rules by which to live. I think a lot of religions teeter on being cults because they have SO little intolerance of other religions and they seem to need that powerful being to keep them in line.

I can be an extremely moral person and I don't need to have a god or go to church to have good values. But some ppl would judge me for that. Not that it matters to me what others think about my beliefs. I think it's very personal, yet I enjoy talking to completely open minded ppl.

There's a woman around my age who takes care of her mother (next door to me) and occasionally I see her (I'm rarely outside, though) but a couple months ago we got to talking and somehow religion came up. She's from Russia and is a Baptist. I asked her: wasn't that against the law, and she said it was, and her father was in jail because he was a minister. Then we talked about all our beliefs and they were VERY different, but it was a fun intellectual conversation with no ill will.

She was fascinated that I don't believe in sin or hell and don't believe Jesus died for us, yet I believe in Jesus. I was raised Christian, I simply never "bought" a lot of it, and neither did my mom. She was catholic and she didn't want that for herself anymore, or for her kids so we were raised Episcopalian. It was a way to learn w/out being totally taken in since my parents didn't make a big deal of it. They didn't push it, just wanted us to have a little bit of the experience, so we could make our own decisions. Most of my family leans toward eastern and other spiritual thought systems. Well I guess I had something to say after all, even if it wasn't about body parts for the pies and cakes.

I guess since you were the originator of this forum it's OK to go off topic if YOU don't care, and you said you didn't. Well, I think I need to finish the Wiz quests and then go rest. I hope all is well with you!!
