(The Temporal Corps has asked Lt. Commander Tali Hartoh-Mason to interview the Ashearth Sisters [nee' Winger]. Having lost the bet, the interviews follow...)

"HIIIIIIIIIII!"

[i]Um, hello?[/i]

"You're PRETTY!"

[i]Well...that's very nice of you to say so...[/i]

"Whass your name?"

[i]You can call me Tali. What's your name?[/i]

"HIIIIIII, Tali! What's my name?"

[i]Yes. What's your name.[/i]

"Umm...hmmm...uhhhhhh...this isn't a trick question, is it? Folks are always askin' me questions an' sometimes it makes my head hurt an' I don't like it when my head hurts 'cause it feels like somethin's rattlin' around in there like one of those marble games have you seen the marble games they make here a lot of the deer here are rilly rilly good at makin' games an' toys an' I like that because games an' toys make cubs an' fawns an' kittens rilly rilly happy an' I like seein' cubs an' fawns an' kittens rilly rilly happy 'cause it makes me rilly rilly happy, an'..."

[i]Ah, yes. You must be one of the Ashearth Sisters. The Master has mentioned you a number of times.[/i]

"Ya! I like th' Master 'cause he's rilly rilly SMART he has all these books an' scrolls an' stuff in here an' I've never rilly been much for readin' 'cause it makes my head hurt though boys used to show me these scrolls have you ever seen the scrolls where they try to trick this poor lady fox into taking off all her clothes not that there's anything wrong with bein' naked 'cause the Laaaady says it's good but Momma never liked me to take off my clothes 'specially when boys used to ask me to 'cause usually that ended up with the boys getting busted over the head with a broom from Momma I'm lucky the Master never does that I mean make me take my clothes off that's Sylvester's job Sylvester's my mate an' th' father of my cubs an' I've got LOTS of cubs which is why I love Sylvester rilly rilly so MUCH 'cause that honors the Lady makin' cubs."

[i]I see. Are you Bridget or Trixie Ashearth?[/i]

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

[i]...[/i]

"That's kinna a hard question 'cause we look alike an' if we take our clothes off we look even more alike an' the Master once tried to get us to put labels in our clothes so we could remember who we were but that didn't work so good 'cause we'd forget which one of us we were when we took our clothes off 'cause usually we take our clothes off to have venery with Sylvester we try to do that a lot an' he's kinna small Sylvester is but he's got a rilly rilly BIG..."

[i]Perhaps there are one or two differences between the two of you.[/i]

"Ummmm...ya! Ya! See, Trixie's SMART! She's an acolyte of Fuma, an' ya gotta be SMART to remember all those prayers 'course if you have venery that's just as good as sayin' prayers but the does here don't like that so much they're not fond of furs havin' venery in Temple I dunno why when Sylvester, Trixie an' me had venery on the altar there were LOTS of persimmons for a few years an' that's good 'cause I like persimmons an' persimmon pie an' persimmon jam an' persimmon tea an' so does the Master but I can't have venery with him 'cause his mate would get rilly rilly sore an' the maid Tessie she'd get even madder have you met Tessie she's a rilly rilly good Mephitist 'cause she likes to have venery as often as she can but the Master doesn't wanna do it in raccoon form 'cause he's got enough problems he says populatin' Elfhame an' his Household's big enough I'm lucky though Sylvester and Trixie and me and all of our cubs Trixie has some too we're in an Annexe which is sorta a funny name for a building but it's a nice building an' we have venery there an' the noise doesn't carry at least not too much if we don't have the windows open which we don't in winter 'cause it gets rilly rilly cold here in Elfhame so I have to snuggle up to Sylvester he's small but he's warm..."

[i]So you are Bridget, then? I notice you're not dressed as an acolyte of Fuma.[/i]

"Ummmm....yeah. But gee I'm not sure now that you say it maybe I should get you to hit yourself on the head with a hammer..."

[i]I beg your pardon?[/i]

"Well it's like this Trixie's an acolyte of Fuma an' she has healin' powers she can kiss boo-boos an' make 'em better she learned that in Temple School 'cause she's smart an' she's got natural talent an' some boys used to kick each other down below rilly rilly hard an' hope that Trixie would kiss the boo-boo an' make it better but the Red Caps found out about it an' said that that couldn't be done in the street an' if it was then they'd run in every fur an' send 'em to Alkali Tor an' are you sure you don't wanna hit yourself on the head with a hammer the Master says he feels like that after he talks to us an' I've offered to kiss him on the head but if I'm Bridget an' not Trixie that's not gonna do much though it'd be kinna fun 'cause I like the Master..."

[i]Perhaps you'd better find your sister...[/i]

"Ah'kay! Byeeeeeeeee!"
