That Guy Thursday: Thorburn
Is Thorburn just a big jerk?
Those, and other questions, such as what exactly is his Change, have yet to be fully answered in the course of the Addergoole story.
He’s domineering, pushy, and sometimes a little bit weird. His nightmares are the stuff of, well, nightmares – some of which we can probably blame on his former Keeper. Maybe all of it. But he is, slowly, unbending.
Thorburn is a tall guy, and a big guy, 6 foot 5 inches tall and broad across the shoulders. His friend Basalt is wider and stronger, but Basalt is made out of rock.
Thorburn has a square chin, startlingly pale blue eyes, a perpetual 5-o’clock shadow, and skin the color of chestnuts. He wears his hair in braids down to his chin.
He dresses primarily in T-shirts and jeans, although he owns, looks good in, and sometimes enjoys wearing nice dress clothes.
Nobody has seen his Change since he got out from under the Collar. Who knows when we will?

Addergoole has a landing page here; Porter and Bel are from Addergoole: Yr9
“It’s just…” Bel fluttered one hand. “Everyone assumes. It’s not just because people here know my parents. It’s just…” Her hand gesture took in a body and a face that were, by all objective standards, beautiful. “There’s this. There’s this, and I’m friendly. And people assume friendly means… friendly.“
“And then you’re here,” Porter picked up. “Here in Addergoole, where sex is practically an obligation and the primary after-school sport, and everyone, everyone is looking to hook up.”
He looked down at his hands. “And it doesn’t take someone offering to Jas up your Hugs-” He paused to let Bel giggle, a little desperately, at his mangling of the Words for repair and emotion. He gave her an echoed smirk, and then continued. “-for you to start wondering ‘is there something wrong with me?'”
Bel nodded, her blonde curls bobbing. “And you wonder… well, I like the dating things. I like the romance. Maybe if I just tried…?“
“And there’s no shortage of people to try with, really. Not here.” Porter leaned forward over the table.
“Not anywhere. Everyone’s ‘doing it.’ And it’s all so… sorrid. And what I really wanted…” Bell was fingering the tip of one of her horns.
“…Fairy Tale romance. A story of love. A story of flowers and wine and devotion and a hand to hold.”
“Exactly. Exactly!” Bel leaned forward, now, until she and Porter almost bumped foreheads over the table. “Exactly.” She looked Porter straight in the eyes, and then, her nose nearly touching his, started giggling.
Porter’s lips twitched in an nervous smile. “What?”
“Come all the way to Addergoole. Come all the way to Addergoole to find a boy who doesn’t think friendly means sex.”

That Girl Thursday: Akaterina (Kay, Kat)
Spunky. Mouthy. Energetic.
These are things that make for an engaging personality and, generally, a very combative Kept. These are all things that describe Akaterina cy’Maureen. Or, at least, they do when she’s not collared.
The oldest child of a single mother, Kay was friendly but not the center of attention in her old school, and expected the same when she came to Addergoole. What she found instead was Agravain and a collar.
She also found Zita, Dr. Caitrin, and friends, but it’s sometimes hard for her to remember that part.
She’s a densely-built girl on the short side of average (Swimming and vollyball in her old school), with mocha skin and black hair down to her hips. Her Change gives her long, pointed ears, and a point to her chin, too, as well as elongated fingers and toes.
For more description, see her wiki page here – http://agyearnine.wikispaces.com/Kay

Side Story Saturday: Shahin in College
This is a drabble of Shahin, from Addergoole: TOS, during the time of Chapter Two of Addergoole: Year 9
“…and that’s why I think that interpretation is ridiculous.”
Shahin would never be a brilliant student, but college – even college while juggling four children – was so much easier than Addergoole that she couldn’t help but play around a bit.
Her professor was giving her the supposed-to-be-intimidating glare that she got such a kick out of. “While that’s an interesting theory, Miss…”
“Mrs.”
“Mrs. Morn, it fails to take into account the implications of the court case we’re actually discussing.”
“But those implications would not have been in place at the time of the theory’s penning.” Shahin smirked. Human teachers were so much fun.
