------------------

Tippy: Hello Nikola! I've got a few questions here that you're gonna answer.

Nikola: *looking me up and down suspiciously, eyes narrowing* Who are you? *glances around* Where am I?

Tippy: Now now, there's no need to panic.

Nikola: *attacks me*

Tippy: Bitch, what the fuck?! *dodges his magic fireball shit and takes his powers away temporarily*

Nikola: What the- How did you do that? *trying and failing to use his magic*

Tippy: I took away your magic you ungrateful twat. Now, you're going to answer these questions, *waving around the pile of papers in my hands* or you're not getting them back.

Nikola: How can you... *watching me closely* who are you?

Tippy: Your Moon Goddess! *rises from the ground, brings out stage lights* I gave you your powers and I can take them away.

Nikola: *minimally shook*

Tippy: Now, since most of these questions are about a certain werewolf, we're going to leave those for last *sifts through the many, many sheets of paper about Hagen*

Nikola: My werewolf side. I don't have a problem with either 'side', and I'm grateful that I have the parents that I do to teach me how to use them, but being a wolf comes more naturally to me than being a warlock.

Tippy: Interesting. I would've thought you'd prefer the magical shit.

Nikola: *shrugs* it can be too much sometimes, I have trouble handling it.

Tippy: I know it's a similar question but I just thought you might have a different answer.

Nikola: You knew I would, that's why you asked it anyway.

Tippy: Just answer the question.

Nikola: I'm more connected with my warlock side because I have a wolf to help me balance it, but when I'm with Ma, sometimes I forget I'm a werewolf completely. All I feel is the magic in my bones.

Nikola: I like making new spells. It can be interesting, figuring out new ways to do the 'impossible'. If not that, I travel. See other realms, planets, colonies, and I just watch how things operate there.

Nikola: Pink. Hot Pink.

Tippy: *blinks in surprise*

Nikola: *glares at me* I don't like it because of my sexuality. I like it because I like it.

Tippy: I didn't say anything *raising hands in placating manner*

Nikola: You were still thinking it.

Tippy: *mutters under breath* this was way cuter when we did it with Peter.

Nikola: Losing control

Tippy: Of what?

Nikola: You already know the answer.

Tippy: *rolling eyes* yes Nikola, we've already established that I know shit. But for them, *points at readers* we gotta put on a show.

Nikola: Who the fuck-

Tippy: It'll be a lot easier if you just go with it, trust me.

Nikola: Losing control of my magic, myself. I said it was hard to handle sometimes, well that was putting it nicely. *folds his arms with a deep frown - he's not too happy with the brooding questions*

Tippy: *hands him a slice of watermelon*

Nikola: *takes it and has a small bite*

Nikola: Why are all these questions so invasive?

Tippy: *shrugs* you're kind of a closed book and people have been waiting to see how you and Hagen get together for so long-

Nikola: that makes two of us

Tippy: So they've got a lot of questions about you. Would you rather we do questions relating to Hagen.

Nikola: *looks at me like I'm stupid* is that even a question?

Tippy: Well the faster we do these, the faster we get to the Hagen ones. So stop asking me questions and answer the ones I give you, alright?

Nikola: *nods determinedly* I've always had trouble talking to people who aren't my parents. Mom and dad just get me, so I don't have to work at it. Other people are stressful. But when it comes to friends, I didn't have trouble so much as I didn't want friends. People are annoying and ignorant, spending time with them is burdensome.

Tippy: But you do have friends

Nikola: Yes, I have friends. Jacob is my best friend, Robin is also my friend, and Damon and I are... we're friends, I guess.

Nikola: William is nice.

Nikola: *looks at me expectantly*

Tippy: *stares back*

Nikola: *continues to look at me*

Tippy: What?

Nikola: Why is everyone so gay?

Tippy: It's your question.

Nikola: Which you have the answer to since you're making everyone gay.

Tippy: Everyone's always been straight, so what's wrong with making everyone gay.

Nikola: *points* there's your answer

Tippy: ...you're good

Nikola: Mostly.

Nikola: *scratches at head* yes and no. In the most obvious ways, yes. I can fight as a wolf and also use my magic to take down opponents. But if I'm fighting an alpha like Damon who's trained against magic for many years, then not so much.

Future Nikola: Why not?

Tippy: Because she said so.

Future Nikola: But I like to eat him out.

Tippy: Nikola!

Future Nikola: Watermelon.

Nikola: *shrugs uncomfortably* my Ma's beautiful and my dad's handsome, maybe it's got something to do with them.

Tippy: Are you trying not to blush?! *holding face in hands*

Nikola: We're you the one who said we need to hurry this up?

Tippy: Just like your mother.

Nikola: Sure. I don't care about the details beyond the fact that I want at least one girl.

Nikola: Yes, Neo can tap into pretty much all of it. But the bigger the spell, the harder it is for him. He's a wolf so in a way its unnatural.

Neo: Did you just call us unnatural?

Nikola: What part of us seems natural to you?

Neo: Points were made.

Nikola: Dark Magic and for the spell, inhabiting others' bodies.

Tippy: yeah, we've got to talk about how you use that spell.

Nikola: It's my spell, I made it. We don't have to talk about anything.

Tippy: *contemplates giving Hagen another mate*

Nikola: It has always been, and will always be, perfect.

Nikola: I guess its not really special since every wolf does it, but I like the weekly runs dad and I go on while shifted. But I guess he'd say our 'special thing' was that we never watch any show or movie without the other present.

As for mom, she likes when I do her hair. She taught me how to braid it so she wouldn't have to, so when she's done washing and drying her hair, I'm the one who she calls to style and braid it.

It's nice, I guess.

Nikola: Everyone always asks me this and the answer is always the same. She's just my mom. To everyone else she might be some badass witch who they want to know or who scares them shitless. But to me, she's just mom.

Nikola: It's 50/50. I love my parents, above everything else. They've always been with me every step of the way, and they've never given up on me. I'm not closer to either of them because I trust them both the same.

Tippy: *struggling to hold back tears* Also let me just plug myself real quick. They're some extras on my Patreon which show his relationship with both Kat and Apollos as a kid!

Nikola: Isn't this my Q&A?

Tippy: I'm this close *holds up pinched fingers*, this close to mating Hagen to someone else.

Nikola: Ma would say I'm a 'daddy's boy'.

Nikola: It was honestly great. No, they were perfect. Most people assume Ma handled the magic and dad the wolf stuff, but they did it together. Even if one was taking the lead, the other was always there. I had the worst time trying to control my magic when it first came, and it was my dad who calmed me down the fastest.

And they weren't just helpful, they did everything they could for me and they still do. I'll never be able to repay them for everything they've done or sacrificed for me.

Tippy: *crying silently while recording to show to Kat and Apollos later*

Nikola: I'm fine, thank you for asking. Not many people do.

Nikola: That's a weird question, but I like penguins

Nikola: I don't hate anyone in that family. Ma's always said they're our extended family. And why would I hate my mentor?

Nikola: Damon

Nikola: Aiden is childish. Julian is a lot. Levi is okay. Jayson is alright. Josey is fine. Damon is okay. William is Nice.

Tippy: ...what a broad use of adjectives... *Sighs*

Nikola: In this specific order;

- Witches and Werewolves

- Vampires (mom's close with them)

- Humans (only William and Robin)

- Mermaids

- Pixies (Kalem would kill me if I didn't put it on the list)

The rest are all the same to me.

Nikola: To make Hagen happy.

Nikola: No day is the same for me.

Nikola: No. What the fuck kind of question is this? I've only ever been attracted to Hagen.

Nikola: I don't recognise the term Tippy.

Tippy: ughh, it's another name for me... in another realm, they call their Moon Goddess Tippy *laughs nervously*

Nikola: *looks me up and down*

Tippy: *whispers* this close!

Nikola: She seems alright.

Nikola: I don't believe in that star nonsense, but I'm a Scorpio.

Tippy: Sounds like something a Scorpio would say.

Nikola: *glaring* next question

Tippy: *shuffling question cards* they're also super grumpy, but that's none of my business

Nikola: Survive

Nikola: Magic isn't a super power. It requires a lot of time, concentration and energy to properly conduct a single spell.

Tippy: Can you just answer the fucking question?! You know what they mean, don't be a hardass.

Nikola: Ma always says its better to educate people so they don't stay foolishly ignorant. But if I'm going to entertain said ignorant, then my 'coolest power' is my ability to travel between realms.

Nikola: Watch my mate.

Tippy: Just a personal query here, you do see how that's a bit creepy right?

Nikola: Unusual? Yes.

Tippy: Right, okay *takes a step back*

Nikola: I don't have one.

Nikola: I'm not sure. Wherever they need me I guess. Dad was a warrior and I've always admired that, but that also requires a lot of energy I'm not willing to put in.

Nikola: I'm happy that I'm confident in myself. I don't need the validation of others to feel comfortable or obtain happiness in myself. I know what I want, I know who I am, so there's no way anyone can make me doubt myself.

Tippy: *nods in proud* Kat and Apollos did good.

Nikola: No. I don't know who you are. *looks around* I don't know who any of you are!

Tippy: *takes another step back* its just better to go with these things. Also, we're starting to get into the Hagen questions next.

Nikola: Finally.

Nikola: I do not stalk him, and no.

Nikola: My parents.

Nikola: Did not of these people read Werewolf 101?

Tippy: *shakes head disappointedly* you learn to just go with it

Nikola: Well, as Hagen said there, witches and warlocks know their linkers no matter the age. It's not confirmed yet if he's my mate, but seeing as I know my Linker, I think it's a safe bet to assume he's mine that way to.

Tippy: Usually I'd take this as an opportunity to cause chaos, but you're right.

Nikola: Hagen's been in my life since I was born. Our families are close so I'm guessing from the first time I saw him, I knew. But since I was a baby, I do not remember any of it. I'm working on a spell to change that.

Nikola: Only three?

Tippy: Only three.

Nikola: And like? Like is different from love. I love a lot of things about him and I like a lot of others.

Tippy: Name three things you like about Hagen please.

Nikola: *sighs in frustration* I like how he's always able to make the best of a bad situation, not a lot of people can do that. I like that he's never one to get lost in a crowd, no matter where he is or who he's with, he always stands out - even when he's not trying to. And I like that he's stubborn. He stands up for himself, always, no matter the situation.

Nikola: I'm Hagen's and his alone.

Future Nikola: You won't be for lone

*Both Nikolas grin*

Nikola: Besides the fact that he's mine to own, please and punish. I'm a hybrid and to me, Hagen is both my linker and my mate. That means double everything that usually comes with that. I want him more, I need him more.

Tippy: Do you want to explain how it's not always your choice? How you react?

Nikola: No.

Tippy: Alright then.

Nikola: If anything, I think it'll grow.

Nikola: I've always loved Hagen, it's in my blood to and it's not really a conscious thing. But I fell in love with him the first time I saw him visit the healing wards. He took muffins with him, ones that he got Peter to bake, and he gave one to every person who would speak to him. He smiled just as brightly to the ones who wouldn't and he was so kind, to everyone. I fell in love with him from that moment.

Nikola: I'm younger than him, he finds my need to possess him in every way intimidating because it suggests that he feels a need to be possessed, and he's annoying stubborn.

Nikola: No.

Nikola: I thought that he was like sunshine personified.

Nikola: As I've said, he's stubborn and he doesn't want to accept that in a way, he wants everything that I am. But I'm a very patient man.
