The Outtakes

This novella shall contain outtakes. These are mostly for the author's amusement and generally the product of rather early mornings. However, they shall also be availible here for your viewing pleasure. If you see a superscript number next to a word (as so1), look here for the likewise numbered outtake. Thank you, and good night!

1”Now, are you a virgin?”


Asque's eyes narrowed. “What?”


“Are you a virgin?” Shin'nen tapped her pen on her open page. “This is very important.”


“I see no reason to answer your question.”


“Okay, roundabout question. Unicorns?”


The wizard sighed. “Yes.”


“Have you met a unicorn?”


“Ms Aisley--”


“I'm sorry, was that an answer? Come on, now.”


“Yes.”


“Can you still meet a unicorn?”


“Ms Aisley!”


2 “The Book? Omigod, you haven't heard of the Book?” Asque waved a hand in imitation of Shin'nen's earlier 'blog' tirade. “Even lesser faeries know about the Book!”


“Okay, stop it. You're creeping me out. Stop that right now.”


3 “Actually,” Asque admitted, paging open another of the scattered books, “the concept is more in line with Diane Duane's wizard Manual.”


“Wait, you actually read books? Children's fiction books?”


“I hardly see how that's surprising.”


She snorted. “You haven't seen yourself in a mirror lately, have you?”


“Are you suggesting I'm a vampire?”


“Wait, what?”



4The note went on to say, “In fact, her stupidity reaches such levels that I can only describe it by appropriating British slang, for though her suggestions are not as vulgar as the American 'butt', they very likely epitomized in the British version of such.”
