[QUOTE=Blaster Master]  
Oh, my hunger is continuing to grow. I’m in need of some cake. Where’s my bloody cake!? Unless, of course, there’s some pies; I’d love some pies as well… chocolates or pumpkins or merengue… yumyum.  
[/QUOTE]

I agree with this guy. Pie is yummay! I like pie!

Peach pie or moon pie are good, too. Cherry pie…heck any kind of fruit pie.

Holy Shit, I like pie.

I wonder what squirrel pie would taste like.

And Twickster tosses out five guesses at once!How bold! How daring! How… somewhat right. (By the way, Aesiron responded to my prod, he’ll be posting more in the next few days. Idle will also be joining. I won’t hold any nonguessed quirks against the hosts if there haven’t been enough posts by the guests. Enough, of course, will be determined by my highly subjective opinion)

**Correctly guessed:**

Anaamika must use each successive character above the number line in successive posts: dotchan  
Purplkid\_Caterer has a tendency for using hackneyed cliches: twickster  
Zoggie is an Advice Columnist: dotchan  
Taber think he’s a specific Greek god or goddess (picked Dionysus): twickster  
fachverwirt must post using quotes from Shakespeare: twickster  
Eureka is easily confused by homonyms: twickster  
**Incorrectly Guessed:**

Kat: twickster  
DiggitCamera: twickster  
fluiddruid: twickster

**Unguessed:**

Malacandra  
PriceGuy  
BlasterMaster  
OneCentStamp  
featherlou  
Aesiron

Oh, I would never taunt _you_, lovely host-type person.

And I’ll be a perfect angel\* from now on. A sweet lil kitty.

\*Or perhaps I’ll just be a wicked angel.

Wicked angel? Like that avatar you had for a bit on proboards?  
Oh, hi. I’m in the game now. Or rather I was given the quirk at the beginning and told I could join if I wanted to. Thank you, **Dio** for modding it.

[QUOTE=twickster]  
**Malacandra** , you intrigue me – tell me a little about your childhood.  
[/QUOTE]

It’s funny you should ask. I was left outside a second-hand musical instrument shop as a baby. I lived by foraging, and I could play piano, violin and oboe before I could talk. My foster-mother says I invented tunes that meant “I’m hungry” or “I need changing” or “It’s time I went to bed”. I’ve developed these into a system of passing coded messages that they use at diplomatic receptions, and I live quite nicely on the royalties.

[QUOTE=dotchan]  
Oh, and I’m going to use one of my guesses…

**PriceGuy must answer questions with another question.**  
[/QUOTE]

Let’s examine this… since this is apparently wrong. But maybe you just needed to be more specific.  
[QUOTE=Priceguy]  
Done, but why didn’t you just email it?  
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Priceguy]  
What an interesting question! Have you been to Spain?  
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Priceguy]  
I would love to have a little chat with you. So, do you live round these parts?  
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Priceguy]  
Certainly wasn’t my intention to scare you. Is there some reason for you to be afraid?  
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Priceguy]  
Thank you, but I don’t sing. Do you sing? Ever sung professionally?  
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Priceguy]  
Only way to get to know somebody new, you know.

So how do you hosts know each other, then?  
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Priceguy]  
I know a few in other languages. Do you speak any languages apart from English?  
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Priceguy]  
It’s not for yourself then? Who is calling?  
[/QUOTE]

He isn’t “answering questions with questions” but he does seem to always ask a new qustion after answering the one asked.

And was “Done, but why didn’t you email it” part of the game?

Ah well – just trying to move things forward a bit. (And where the hell did **dotchan** disappear to?)

Fellow hosts – apparently **OneCentStamp** has all but told us who he is, but I don’t have a clue. **Malacandra** is also being cooperative – but I’m equally clueless on him.

**Featherlou** – what’s on your Christmas list for this year?

[/QUOTE]

The new question is always a “getting to know you, making small talk” sort of follow-up. Should we be more specific than that?

Isn’t getting to know people and making small talk what parties are about? I wonder why I never get answers, though. Seems suspicious.

I’m certainly not trying to conceal anything from you. I just happen to have a hard-to-pin-down personality.

Now then, we seem to have descended from partying into a lot of chatting and accusing. Who wants to do the Macarena? 🙂
