Prelude: And with that, we’re officially wrapping up our AMA event. We can’t promise that everyone will be rounded up in one place like this again, but if you have any lingering questions, we always have operators standing by!

Prelude: From all of us here at Malignant Virtues, this is a sincere thank you for stopping by, and a thank you for your continued support.

Prelude: We hope you’re having a great day, night, or anything in between -- and hope you’ll continue to stick around! For now, back to your not-so-regularly-scheduled content, the Ballad Crayola Challenge.

Hey, folks!

As some of you may know, June 25 is the official TWO YEAR anniversary of Malignant Virtues! I absolutely cannot believe how wild of a ride this journey has been -- I hope you guys have been enjoying it as much as I have.

A couple of weeks ago, I put out a survey asking you guys what I should do to celebrate this milestone, and most of you asked for Behind the Scenes Facts/AMA -- so here you go! The floor is open and you can ask, well, anything! (Voted for another option? Don’t worry -- most of the other things will be happening, too!)

I’m taking a page out of @socialbunnies book -- this AMA isn’t just limited to me, you can ask any of the characters anything, too. (My character page is in the process of getting a major facelift, but you can have a sneak peek of the new one here!)

Ready? Ask Me Anything!

Ellie: Nat and I were supposed to get married. I’d have liked to have seen our wedding day. Toccata finishing school, her wedding to Lance, being able to hold my granddaughter. 

Ellie: Fugue was barely out of diapers when the accident happened -- I would have liked to actually known my son and see him grow up. Things... would have been so different. I’m proud of how much he’s grown, but I would have liked to have been a part of it.

Ellie: I wish I could have gone to Jefferson’s wedding and gotten to meet my brothers’ kids -- Ro, the quads, even Madge. There are so many things I wish I’d gotten to see and do, Prelude. So many things -- I can’t even begin to scratch the surface.

Prelude: All right, Zaph – can I call you Zaph?

Zaph: Yeah, Zaph’s fine.

Prelude: Great. It’s wonderful to have you with us. Now, our first question is – actually, you’re kind of far away. D’you mind if I just take a sec and pull my chair over there?

Zaph: Um–?

Prelude: We’re all family here. Let’s act like we like each other, am I right?

Buck: Don’t think I ain’t talked to ‘em about it--

Sonata: Oh, I’m sure you have.

Buck: Mm-hmm. Mina said she and Jefferson want a couple more...

Jefferson [off, to Mina]: You told him what, now? Ain’t four enough--

Mina [off]: I was joking, babe--

Prelude: [coughing] So, getting back on track -- our, uh, next question?

[pollination-tech]

Prelude: Not a damn thing, really?

Buck: For real. Not a damn–

Sonata: That is not what you were saying last night.

Prelude: Uh-oh. I sense some tension–

Sonata: He was just saying the doctors had to be wrong and we should definitely try for some more kids. How many more did you say you wanted? Fourteen?

Buck: [cough] Sixteen.

Sonata: Sixteen more kids. That’s what he’d change. More kids. I told him if he wants more babies to take care of, we can go back to fostering or he can talk to our boys about giving us more grandkids to babysit.
