Costis & Eugenides

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Indiana girls, MWT is signing books in Dayton on Thursday. Sounds like a road trip!

Here is a new question for you. What do you think Eugenides thought of Costis? I got the impression that he really liked him, and admired him for his loyalty, ethics, and dependability. But, Gen was bound to be angry at the way Costis humiliated him in front of everyone in Attolia who knew Costis had punched him. That was one time in the book I wished I had more insight into Eugenides' feelings rather than seeing everything through Costis' eyes. And what was with him writing the notes for Costis?

Did Eugenides have everything planned ahead of time with Costis, or did he lose his temper and provoke Costis, then use Costis' actions to suit his plans?

Oh, ice burn :P Except it would probably go more like this:

Me: Um, pardon me...
MWT: Yes?
Me: O_O
MWT: ...
Me: O_o
MWT: Can I help you?
Me: KHDSIYRSIOEUOIWEWEIJ!! askljkfopuwopewop! *runs*

I would need backup, to say the least, so that it might go more like:

Me: asdjh--
Backup person: I'm sorry, she was in a bad wreck earlier in the week and hit her head rather badly. What she's trying to say is that she's one of your biggest fans and would like an autograph very much.
MWT: Oh, well that's all right then! I'm terribly sorry to hear that, though judging by her she probably provoked the other driver into hitting her somehow.
Me: *clothes smoldering from the burn*

I'm in a talky mood this morning, sorry XD

That was me. Obviously.

Hahaha! Take a tape recorder along with a camera. I gotta hear this.

If we could be there, we would be. Try and get a friend to come with you. Or write down what you want to say on a sheet of paper, that you can just read off of. She'd probably find it funny. Or, you could write your message on a piece of cardboard to hold up. Something saying "I apologise for being temporarily stunned into gibberish. Normal speech should resume in a few minutes".

Though I'm sure you wouldn't end up speaking gibberish. C'mon! Suck it up, and be brave. You can't miss out on an opportunity to see MWT!

(Not that I'm trying to pressure you into anything) :)

Yes. I'm in a talky mood too for some reason. :D

Yes. I have a rare form of Touret's (sp?); it's called "Gibberish", and it just kicks in whensda'ejaerhwelkrjhelwktasej

*laughs*

That's what you need to write on the placard to hold up. Spelt Tourettes. :)

Re: MWT Author Tour

[fabricalchemist.livejournal.com]

Right. My mind is conjuring all manner of ways this could possibly go wrong, up to and including spelling XD

Re: MWT Author Tour

[rowana.livejournal.com]

:D Perhaps your idea of a backup person was better. I hope you manage to find one.

Re: MWT Author Tour

LOL I need a Costis!

Re: MWT Author Tour

[rowana.livejournal.com]

Of course! I'm growing to love Costis as I re-read. I'm currently of the opinion that everyone needs an obstinate Costis with a ridiculous and admirable sense of honour. Can you imagine Costis translating for you to MWT? And then hissing in your ear 'Why can't you act like a real fan?' :D

Re: MWT Author Tour

[fabricalchemist.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

And then, naturally, losing the gibberish and proving that I can, in fact, speak coherently and was only acting stupid :D

Re: MWT Author Tour

[rowana.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

That would be fantastic to watch. Just because. Poor Costis. :D But then again, Gen always has a convoluted plot hiding behind his facade of stupidity, so you'd need one of those. Conspiring, perhaps, to steal MWT's pen and sell it on ebay?

Re: MWT Author Tour

[fabricalchemist.livejournal.com]

Actually, this does give me a fantasic idea. And I know the perfect Costis-esque victim to drag along.

Re: MWT Author Tour

[rowana.livejournal.com]

Then I wish you the best of luck with that. :)

Here's to not getting kicked out of wineshops bookstores!

Re: MWT Author Tour

[fabricalchemist.livejournal.com]

And placards make me think it's going to be MTW, TRL-style. O_o

Re: MWT Author Tour

[rowana.livejournal.com]

TRL? I'm missing the reference, how embarrassing.

You wouldn't, I guess, I didn't think of that. It's, uh...I forget what it stands for, but it's a wildly popular afterschool music video countdown on MTV and there are throngs of people outside the studio in Times Square , all with posters and weird costumes and stuff,
screaming like monkeys for a chance to get on the camera.

Ah! It all makes sense suddenly. :) Thanks.
