Thinking of doing another of those silly "interview the characters" thingies for my NaNo. It came at the end of the last one, as like an "add on" (if I ever get the thing edited and finished ¬_¬ ), but I thought I'd set myself some questions FIRST, and try work them into the story.
Characters thusfar include:
Slipstream
Celerity
Fred
Firewire
Mirii
Wen
Madame Pabishka (snooty posh lady, one of NDBSD's sponsors/shareholders? Something like it anyway)
The Boss
and the rest of the "Merchandise" (which includes creatures all the way from sentients to designer pets)
Plus! The company has a name and a slogan now. These sound ok?
"Nuori-Deuchainn BioLabs; Sci+Dev.
Redesigning the future, one genome at a time!"
Nuori-Deuchainn is supposed to sound a bit like peoples' names, but it DOES actually have a meaning, as I scrounged it out of the dictionary:
Nuori - finnish, meaning "young" (although I'm using it to mean "new", like "Nova")
Deuchainn - Scottish Gaelic, part of the word for laboratory ("Deuchainn(test, exam, experiment)-lann(compound, enclosure, area)".
BioLabs = what it sounds like :P
Sci+Dev is purely because I've come up with a logo that looks a BIT like DNA and I can juuust about squish it to look like "SD" ;)
Aaaand I'm still full of cold. We'll see how it goes at work today. -_- At least my chest doesn't hurt when I cough, any more. Might have juust skated past a chest infection.
