Number 1 fan? Sounds cool, but isn't there auditions and stuff for such a role?

Onto the question: Do you have any fans in Snow Town? And where did you find all the people in the audience during your races? Do they show up just during the tournaments or do you always get an audience?

No problem with the questions, just flattered that so many are piling up for me!
And hey, if you want to consider yourself a fan of me, you can always change your title to that, or perhaps if you wanted to start some sort of group, you could gather a few more people as "Linda's Fans" and that would be even better!

In regards to all those people during our races, that's mostly friends from school and spectators who love watching winter sports in the area. Funny enough, our races tend to garner a lot of attention to that crowd, it's a lot more impressive to watch a few competitors racing rather than just one and watching others attempt to beat their time. I guess the competitive edge really intrigues people!

That, and watching kids slide down a snowy hill hurling projectiles at each other is amusing to them, I bet.

Midnight Angel's Question 1: We do have a small sheep farm on the castle grounds, it was my mother's idea to raise some animals here, and felt that raising cows or pigs was too uncouth, so we went with something a little cleaner and decided to raise sheep.

Midnight Angel's Question 2: That was originally built as a pet project by my father when he was just starting to get into the sports business, we eventually liked the idea of having it there in the castle and he decided to build upon it into the arena you see it as today. We occasionally use it for other sports activities too, like go-karts and also some basketball if no one's feeling up to boarding.

LordBolt's Question: Oh, they paid for it...and they're STILL paying for it. THEY weren't the ones who had to deal with my dad's rage when he got home and had to explain to him why there was cake frosting all over the dining room!

Onto the next question: Did you watch any of the movies Pamela stars in, and if so, what do you think of them?

Another: How would you qualify yourself? And how do you think the others see you?

LordBolt Question 1: I haven't actually gotten around to any of her movies yet, with such a large list of movies to actually watch, I'm surprised I haven't yet!

LordBolt Question 2: That's a little vague, could you clarify that a bit?

Midnight Angel Question: No, it wasn't me flying the helicopter, it was one of our family servants. The reason, well, many of our servants tend to be camera shy, they don't really like being recorded while on the job, most of them take it as degrading for some reason. We don't try and force them into it.

If you were to describe yourself to someone who doesn't know you at all, what would you say?
In the same way, how do you think your friends would describe you?
Hope that seems clearer for you!

On to the next question: What was the best time you ever had in your life? Anything you've really enjoyed a lot and won't ever forget?

LordBolt Question 1: I suppose I'd introduce myself as who I really am, the daughter of one of the most powerful families in Snow Town and the organizer of Snowboarding Tournaments here too!

LordBolt Question 2: This is a bit similar to what you asked me before on what I thought of the others, it doesn't really seem fair for me to answer "for" them in that regard, so I'm going to avoid that question. If you absolutely need an answer for it, I guess

LordBolt Question 3: I would say simply when we went to Starlight Highway, we don't exactly get to go to space everyday and board, you know?

You can thank Wendy for that one, she had each of us outfitted with a patch (Kind of like a bandaid) that provided a renewable source of oxygen for us to be worn in our suits. They only last for about 2 hours, but they were enough to let us have some fun out in space!

LordBolt @ Mar 27 2010, 11:15:36 PM wrote: You seem to have really liked it! Then again it's easily understandable, that course is quite something! Oh, and don't worry about not answering, you're the boss here, and if you don't want to answer anything, that's okay to me!

Onto the next question: How many servants/staff do you have working at your castle?
Oh, and can I have an autograph?

You said before that you liked to read, any good books you've read recently that you would recommend?

According to my father's headcount of our on-hand staff, we have about 90 servants that work the castle grounds. If you want to count everyone that handles "all" of our houses, that's about 300. Yes, I have more than one house, but my castle in Snow Town is the one I truly consider home.

*Scribbles her signature on a small card and hands it to LordBolt* Enjoy!

In the case of books, as of recent I'm mostly into old fantasy novels, such as those written by R.A. Salvatore. I like stories that keep you on your toes, but at the same time leave you with a sense of determination.

LordBolt @ Mar 29 2010, 09:10:52 PM wrote: Hey, thanks for the autograph, I'll be keeping that preciously! I bet I'm the only one around here to have an autograph of the one and only snowboard princess!
Fantasy huh? A fantasy loving princess, nice!

Anyway, onto the next question: you say you've got houses all over, and you haven't lived all your life in Snow Town, so where did you live before? And where does your family hail from?

Well, the Maltinie Family used to be based actually in Colorado back in the USA, we eventually moved out here to Snow Town when my dad was having the castle constructed so that we could be away from the hub-bub and business of the states. We still do business with them as part of the family business, but now we have the space to feel comfortable again and not have to worry about multiple hour drives and line-waits.

Next question: Was there a time where one of your friend desperately needed your help? What happened, and did you help them out?

Hmm, I haven't exactly run into a situation like that yet, to be totally honest. Maybe I'm still just too young to experience that?

Sorry for the wait, I couldn't get a question in yesterday, but I'll just ask two this time around!

First one: You've probably got quite a large collection of various boards in that castle of yours. Do you have any rare and strange boards with particular effects we haven't seen in the games? If so, could you describe a few of your favourite?

Second: What exactly was your illness about? Is it gone for good or could it get serious again?

Next up: What exactly is your relation to Brad? Do you get to see him often or is he away most of the time? And if he is around, why didn't he come snowboarding with the gang?

Question 1: I have some boards from many places and gifted to me as presents for my talents (And of course me being a Maltinie doesn't hurt either.), but as of unique properties on many of them...there's a few, but I'm not sure I should go spoiling all the fun out of those boards for you all, perhaps you'll see them sometime later? Hehehe.

Question 2: I don't know much about it since I was comatose for most of the time from it. All I know is that it severely weakened my body before I was diagnosed with it. There were times I couldn't get out of bed, other times where I wouldn't even wake up. What's worse, when I did wake up when I had it, I couldn't do much because my body felt drained from resting too much. According to the doctor, it "could" come back, but as of my recent check-ups, he doesn't see any signs of it.

Question 3: Brad is my cousin, unlike me, he tends to enjoy international trips a lot more than I do and usually spends his time with his side of the family out in Europe, where we have an estate. He comes over here quite often, just not daily because flying over the Atlantic isn't exactly a few hour flight; and although his personality tends to have him as a pretty social type, he does have some difficulty opening up to people on a personal level, hence why we don't talk as much as we probably should.

Well, if I had a pan, I'd surely show you how to use it, hehehe.

But in all truth, no one really knows how those pans actually hit EVERYONE on the track, or occasionally backfire and all hit the person who deployed them. Mr. Dog won't tell us, and even Wendy can't figure it out! Wish we could, then we'd have easier ways to defend against that...

I think I'll pass for the pan lesson, I try to keep away from painful things such as those, especially when I'm on the receiving end...
Good job no one has tamed the robber mouses yet, that could be pretty bad for your fortune!

Speaking of which, the first question: What would you do if all of a sudden the company went bankrupt and you'd have to live in normal budgetary conditions?

Next: Has anyone ever cheated to win a race? Of course I'm sure you never had dear Linda, you're way above those kind of things!

Last question to catch up: Did you actually invite Slash and Jam to your birthday, or were they crashing your party? And what about Damien, how did HE end up in there?!

Question 1: *Screams for mercy and runs under a table, shivering.* Enough of an answer for you?

Question 2: Slash has done it a few times, as has Damien, but otherwise we try our best to keep things orderly in our races unless someone absolutely HAS to win. We're usually pretty even about it though when it comes to our races.

Question 3: To be a good sport, I did have to invite them. I was hoping they would have respected the invitation and actually behaved at my birthday, but here's me assuming things with those two troublemakers. As for Damien, he just kind of...showed up. I know I didn't write HIM an invitation, but I guess he found his way in nonetheless. I'll have to talk to our castle's security about intruders of that sort...

PS: Keep the questions coming, I'm always here to answer them!
