LJIdol 10 Week 0 Introductions

[vik_thor]

A middle-aged satyr steps up to the microphone. His heavy horns emerge from his upper forehead, curling back and out, with the points at about jaw level, but a bit in front of his jaw. They are decorated with bright paint and colorful ribbons wrapped around, along with some beaded dangles. His long hair is dark brown, with three bright green patches, while his beard is a lighter brown and grey. He is wearing a brocade vest, patterned in leaves in multiple shades of green, and an electric blue leather kilt. His hooves tap on the wooden floor in front of the podium.


“Good evening. I believe introductions are in order. My name is Lirleni Hankeshe, and I am currently the primary fursona of the writer. He is currently feeling a bit under the weather, as well as mildly depressed about the election results yesterday in the United Species of America.” He pauses, takes a drink from a tankard sitting by the podium, and smacks his lips in satisfaction. “WONDERful cider you serve here! I may enjoy this job after all!”


“I have been authorized to answer any questions you may have about the writer. This will be his fourth attempt at this competition, and he is hoping to do better than in previous seasons, interacting with all of you more. He asked me to read you a list of his interests, but I think that would be boring, and possibly counter-productive. After all, he freely admits that in general he leads a fairly sedate life. Much of his free time is spent reading science fiction and fantasy, and enjoys exploring worlds that others have created.”

Coffee or tea? And which one(s) specifically do you prefer?

Peet's Sumatra coffee here :D

Mako

[vik_thor]

I actually prefer my caffeine in carbonated form, as Mountain Dew.
Coffee I drink mostly at restaurants (that don't have Dew) and a mug with lunch at work (with hot chocolate mix, making a Poor Man's Mocha).
I've tried tea a few times, and just never really gotten into it.

I like this take on the prompt!

What kind of tv shows does the writer like? What kind of writing styles does the author like to write in? :D

Good luck this season!

[vik_thor]

Thanks!

Science fiction type mostly, and procedurals… NCIS and that style.
We do not have cable, so when I remember, I catch stuff on NetFlix or Amazon. (currently working my way through Heroes of Tomorrow.)

What's he reading now? Does he recommend it?

[vik_thor]

Currently working my way through the Emberverse series. Just started The High King of Montival https://www.librarything.com/work/9806913/book/136089922 this morning.

It is an interesting take on post-apocalyptic fiction, and quite enjoying it.

I understand his discomfit from the election results.

What interests do YOU have, sir?

Welcome back, satyr! A very enjoyable introduction. This competition needs a more diverse species writing for it.

Good to see you back again! What's your favorite sort of sweet or dessert food?

[vik_thor]

lemon pies, cherry pies, chocolate ice cream

Well met sir, agreed simple lists of intrests can often be boring however you have done excellent well in your introduction. Sometimes escaping into other worlds is the best fun a speciman can have.

Pass on my regards to the Writer.

[vik_thor]

thanks!

It's a pleasure to meet you, and, might I add, those ribbons are quite fetching!

Sorry about that-- LJ logged me out when I commented the first time, and then insisted on refresh that it had not posted my comment!

[vik_thor]

not a prob at all.
If I had noticed the same comments earlier, I wouldn't have replied to the first one. :)

[bleodswean.livejournal.com]

Ha! Excellent introduction, sir & satyr.

[murielle.livejournal.com]

Novel intro! Hope to meet the writer, but also kind of liking this Lirleni Hankeshe. I was born in Scotland, nothing says sexy than a man in a kilt, even if he is a satyr. (Wink) I have a friend who has a special affinity with satyrs. I expect you'll meet her.

Welcome to Idol! Best of luck!
