    [size=6]Back in the old days, they called it being a confirmed bachelor. As for now, take a look at Japan. A large number of the millennials aren’t having sex, and don’t care. [/size]

    [quote=Coatl ;7182]Speaking of Tartarus, the book only said that the AII’s voice was a woman’s and unsettlingly familiar to Tom. Pheastus said that it was designed to sound like the person most familiar to Tom, but while that would usually mean his mother considering his age and relationship status back on Earth, the book doesn’t say that it is Tom’s mom, leaving me to assume that it’s someone from Orcus’s life. Will we get a confirmation on the owner of this voice in the next books?[/quote]

    Ohhh, that’s a very good point! Completely missed that one.

    [size=6]My first thought was that it was the voice of the computer from Star Trek. My second thought was that it was the voice of GLaDOS, which would be unsettling.[/size]

    Well, it “could” still end up being his mom, just, his….. other… mom. That would be awkward.

    That’s my thoughts as well. Something tells me that when the truth does come out, it’ll be awkward for everyone. And I get where Tom’s coming from, I do. I don’t put much stock in destiny and prophecy myself. But how long can you deny everything in front of you and play it off as a bunch of random coincidences? Once is an accident, twice a coincidence, but thrice? And Tom’s acted and thought the same way that Orcus would have way more than three times.

    I like how sex and sexuality is being addressed in the books. Its there in the background, without being too in your face, which comes across as more realistic. Many books fail in doing this, and end up reading like a cheap fan fiction.

    I quite like the idea of Tom being asexual, and considering how many ‘people’ believed that Orcus reproduced asexually… makes sense.

    But I also liked Vaselle idea of Tom and Sam being Co-Factors and maybe something more (why would sexuality matter to a demon.. but then again he is somewhat obsessed with Lilith.. but also the Demiurge..).

    Also, as Tom was once human, and now a demon.. what is he actually attracted to? Females? Males? Humans? Humanoids? Demons? Orcs? D’Orcs? Avatars?

    Technically, Djinn don’t have physical/material forms. And can appear as anything e.g human.

    As for what Tom’s attracted to, it’s probably a case of ‘body influencing the mind’. Like how Tom sees Edwyrd as too pale and weak, or Edwyrd wanting to wear clothes when Tom doesn’t feel the need. It takes effort to change forms and keep the changes, so you would need to immerse yourself into that form completely, body and mind. By allowing the instincts of the race you’re imitating to guide your thoughts, it becomes easier to keep the imitation up. It might be why Tom’s having so much trouble adapting to the orc form. Rupert, on the other hand, is much more used to this due to the desperation of survival as Antefalkan said, and can easily take a form that he’d never even seen until all this insanity in Astlan started.

    By the way, after thinking about it, I really wasn’t too shocked that Tizzy’s misplaced book was the cause of all of this. I mean, Tizzy being the source of any kind of insanity shouldn’t surprise anyone.

    Something tells me that problem lies more with her than it does him. I mean, look what she did to Pheastus! Not being able to keep it in his pants isn’t near as bad as whatever crazy she’s got going on.

    Someone’s trying to get themselves a new magical artifact! [biggrin]

    Maybe a mechanical owlbot? Or an owlbot egg? Although I am not sure if owlbots hatch?

    So while Reggie isn’t gay, he’s not averse to experimentation.

    Do you ever think he’d be up for the ultimate 3 way?

    Sex with two unicorns?

    He’s an icubus…of course!

    Pretty sure Reggie was straight when I so—-ack–ahem–first met him. Yeah, first met him in the Abyss. Yeah, that’s it. Never ever saw him before that, so this is pure speculation on my part.

    But, being an Incubus, he’ll try to procreate with anyone, anything. Really tremendous sex drive.

    I do sort of feel bad for those little amoeba’s…and you’d have to be a real masochist to mate with a jelly fish but…

    Of course as a “woke” demon Reggie would probably be sensitive to the problematic issues of offering to play the unicorn role with a pair of unicorns.

    Antefalken could probably make serious bank off the balling balling.

    Let’s just hope that Reggie never tries to “release” the Kraken. Things might get messy.
