In Sanctuary, Demona says to Goliath that "New York is your protectorate, Paris belongs to me!" Why was she so possessive towards Paris? Does it hold any special meaning for her?
Greg responds...
Yes. But mostly she's just saying, "Geez, dude, I leave the continent and you're STILL in my business?!"
Makhasu writes...
What did Demona think of Prince Malcolm? He didn't seem to hate gargoyles, but he instilled a fear of Gargoyles in his daughter, Katherine, that adversely affected Demona's clan.
Greg responds...
I don't think she had a problem with Malcolm. Back in those days, she wasn't as virulently anti-human as she is now.
Makhasu writes...
Now that Demona turns to human during the day, does she get her period every month? If so, how does she feel about it? >=)
Greg responds...
<sigh> I haven't given this any thought, I'll admit. Perhaps it's a good topic for discussion in the comment room or at the Gathering. Check out the Gathering's website: www.gatheringofthegargoyles.com!
Makhasu writes...
Who does Demona hate most: Goliath, Macbeth, or Elisa?
Greg responds...
I feel like I've answered this already. But even if I haven't... Why quantify something unquantifiable.
But if I had to guess, I'd say Elisa.
Makhasu writes...
In COS part four, Luna tells Macbeth "And thus you both shall live, eternally linked, sharing each others pain and anguish. With no release until one destroys the other. Only then shall both finally perish, together. What she making a prophesy of what would occur, or was she just stating the rules of their link?
Greg responds...
Good question.
Makhasu writes...
You said on the COS dvd commentary, when Demona swings Macbeth around, "I think she's just a little bit in love with him there." While I don't think it was an strong romantic love, I do think she was much more affectionate towards him than she would have been to someone else. We never see her that friendly towards anyone else she's not romantically involved with, not even her own clan members. My question is, was she aware of it? Was he? Was Gruoch? >=)
Greg responds...
No. Not really. No comment.
Makhasu writes...
Was Macbeth genuinely in love (not just smitten) with Dominique? I only ask this because he had known her for such a short time, and even then knew very little about her.
Greg responds...
I believe I'll let the story stand on its own without my commentary. You can evaluate for yourself.
Makhasu writes...
Was Demona close to any of her rookery siblings?
Was Demona close to any of her clan members at Moray?
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. I'm not sure she let herself get to close... but she's not a wizard at self-control either.
Makhasu writes...
What does Demona think of the way Katherine, Tom, and the Magus raised her clan's children?
Greg responds...
Wow... Makhasu, I'm impressed by how fast you were able to type at 4 in the morning. This is a lot of questions, particularly considering that I specifically asked people NOT to flood the submission queue at least until I had caught up.
Anyway, again, I'm not inclined to spell this stuff out for you too much. I think the episodes should stand on their own without too much annotation. Take a look at "The Reckoning" again, and I think you'll find enough clues to the answer to this question.
Makhasu writes...
How was Demona able to get Macbeth to marry her in such a short time? He only knew 'Dominique' for less than a month, according to the dates you've given.
Greg responds...
How do YOU think?
Makhasu writes...
You said that, besides pain, pleasure also passes between Macbeth and Demona. Why would the Weird Sisters toss that in? Doesn't it creep Mac and D out a bit?
For that matter, when did they first find out about that? It must've been a pretty shocking experience.
Greg responds...
Your premise is faulty. You make it sound like the Weird Sisters made a choice. No one has definitively stated that. They made a link.
As to Mac & D's reaction, etc., I'm not revealing that now.
Makhasu writes...
What was Demona's relationship with the people of Moray castle like? At Macbeth's coronation, those that were present cheered her on. How did they treat her over the next 17 years, and how did she react?
Greg responds...
Generally, pretty well. But there was probably some occasional tension.
Makhasu writes...
You answered, when asked if Macbeth and Demona share emotional pain, "Metaphorically." I didn't quite understand that. Could you explain in greater detail?
Greg responds...
Probably.
Makhasu writes...
Did Macbeth really die when Canmore stabbed him? The Weird Sisters said to Demona that "though the pain is great, child, you are unharmed." Were she and Macbeth alive, but in pain, when Canmore declared himself victorious?
Greg responds...
Six of one, half dozen of the other.
Makhasu writes...
Can Demona or Macbeth sustain permanent damage? Like scars, lost limbs, etc... They're in impeccable shape for people who've been, as you said in one answer, "stabbed, shot, etc."
Greg responds...
The question isn't can they, but HAVE they.
Makhasu writes...
Does Demona still think that Macbeth was planning to betray her in 1057?
Greg responds...
Probably.
Makhasu writes...
What was Macbeth and Demona's relationship like when he was king? How well did they get along?
Greg responds...
Well.
Makhasu writes...
What do Macbeth and Demona think of that golden age during his reign as king?
Greg responds...
Macbeth probably sees it as a glorious time, capped by betrayal.
Demona probably sees it as part of an elaborate scheme to lull her into a false sense of security.
Makhasu writes...
Does Demona know that Macbeth is no longer actively hunting her?
Greg responds...
Are you so sure he's not?
Makhasu writes...
How did Canmore find out about Macbeth and Demona's link? How did those rumors get started?
Greg responds...
Think about it. Macbeth ages nearly twenty years in one night and suddenly has a gargoyle ally... Plus a few people knew about the "bargain" including Bodhe. Word was bound to get around. Not necessarily accurate word. But word.
Makhasu writes...
Did Demona's low opinion of humans change at all during Macbeth's golden age of rule? She and her clan's treatment was very different from what it had been before, and his reign is the only time we ever see Demona truly happy and content.
Greg responds...
I think it did -- at least briefly but certainly superficially.
Makhasu writes...
Did Macbeth have any advisors other than Demona? If so, how well did they get along with Demona?
Greg responds...
Clearly, he had Bodhe, who was probably afraid of Demona. But I'm sure he had others, and some would have gotten along with her better than others did. But I tend to think that Demona reported directly (and to some extent privately) with Macbeth, limiting her "camaradery" with the rest of his "staff".
Makhasu writes...
The Scottish people seemed pretty hateful/fearful towards gargoyles before Macbeth's reign. How was he able to change opinions and get people to accept Demona and her clan?
Greg responds...
Winners tend to get to make the rules. And the gargoyles helped the winning side win. So that went a LONG way toward reducing more OVERT prejudice.
Makhasu writes...
Who came up with the idea for the Paris scheme against Macbeth? Thailog or Demona?
Greg responds...
Thailog.
Makhasu writes...
What did Demona plan on doing with Goliath and his clan if her plan in Hunter's Moon had succeeded?
Greg responds...
Present it as a fait accomplis and hope that they came around...
But who are we kidding? The notion that Demona gave much real thought to the aftermath of Operation Clean Slate is iffy.
