In the answer to the ask about Nikolais thoughts about having a partner and kids, Nikolai mentioned something about his mother being right. What did she tell the poor man?

Greetings Rey ^^

She told Nikolai that no one would ever love him, and that the world would abandon him if he would go against her wishes and orders, that he would be all alone, and not a single person would ever have any sympathy for him.

When Nikolai, was chased trough Mayberry and later having a verbal fight with his sister, that led to Kathrina throwing her older brother out of her flat, the words of the Akdow siblings mother, echoed in Nikolai's mind again.

And for a while he wondered, if perhaps she was right, with his own sister hating him now (or so Nikolai believed)...Nikolai really thought he was all alone now, and no one cared for him.

It was one of the reasons why Nikolai broke into the Roadkillerz base, thinking if really no one cared for him, then, what would it matter, and so he did it.

Fortunately Nikolai starts to make friends, at first more begrudgingly than by his own choice he has conversations with people, however it is a start.

Even if there were some ups and downs, between that, it really helped Nikolai.

And then of course, he met Grementine Mewton, and Nikolai really liked her.

He was, surprised how she was willing to help him a complete stranger, a "fellow lab coat" she called him, because Nikolai was wearing his at the time when the cat picked him up,

They had a short conversation, until they reached enough civilization were Nikolai could get help and a way back to the Roadkillerz base.

Nikolai was, very thankful for Grem's help, and that stuck with him, and he never forgot the kindness of the cat that moved something in him.

And Nikolai, he was glad, very glad when he met Grementine Mewton again and again, for slowly, he started to notice, how the feelings towards Grem, were, unique :-.)

Has Tonic heard of mayberry before they passed?

Greetings Anon

They have, Tonic has heard about about Mayberry, not only because of their work as a journalist, but also, due of Blaise having told them about their brother Lawrence.

What they felt was, pity and sorry, because here there was a whole city, isolated from the rest of the world, it felt for them, as if a whole bunch of people, got walled in.

The wolf often questioned, how the life was inside of the city, but never dared to take a step inside of the city, with Tonic being too worried she might never get out again.

Of course, they felt hope that one day the isolation of the city would come to an end, and that the people of Mayberry would be free.

Something Tonic still hopes for, even beyond death.

Yours sincerely

Tell us everything we didn't know about Janus gates. like their real name and how they became a performer

Greetings Anon

Janus Gates real name was Seth Ordnung, the first and only child of Adam and Eva Ordnung. (Eva was Adam's second wife, his first was Lilly or Lilith, as Lilly's real name is)

After Adam saw that Seth was born with Diprosopus, he was horrified, and instead of a name, called Seth only "the Abomination", he wanted to get rid of the child, however due to a kind and caring nurse and a doctor, who, accepted they could never return to Mayberry again, they took Seth, and left the city, raising Seth as their own child in Trailer Park Town.

There, Seth, or Janus as they started to call themself and grew up in Trailer Park Town, found their passion for singing, and also found the fashion of the 20s/30s/and 40s interesting, adapting it as they became a performer, with Janus at first starting to sing at the local bar, before they began to tour trough the country.

I did imagine that at one point, Janus and Lilly meet, with Lilly saying that they look familiar, and making the connection that Janus is Adam and Eva's child.

Also, now that I'm thinking about RCS again. It would be ironic if Mayberry is the only place where it's truly free from the rcs's control. And wouldn't it be crazy if Erwin became the current mayor of the town?

Greetings Anon ^^

You know what also would be ironic, if Mayberry has again, a wall raised around the town, however this time it is really, and truthfully for defense purpose because of the Roadcurators.

Sam would nearly get a stroke when she sees that the town has a wall again.

It's not something the town likes to do, given that even a thousand years later people know the cities past, but, what else are they supposed to do against the RCS they would say?

It would be really interesting if Erwin, or a descendant of the Robinson family would be the current mayor of the town ^^

I have to admit, I have thought a bit about a, potential plot / outline in how, "Roadkillerz 1000 years later" could be, but, I do worry I sound like as if I want to meddle with things ^^,,,

What kind of Wax figures Castor has made?

Greetings Anon ^^

He has made several wax figures from important historical personalities, but also famous people from Mayberry who are all displayed in his museum.

The scale insect even made one of Sam Cottontail, however he is not allowed to show it, due of the city deeming the figure as "unauthentic" because it has the actual, lifelike size of the general, and is not as tall as the city likes to imagine/believes Sam is.

Castor Montan sees his wax figure of the general as one of his best works and he quietly resents it that he isn't allowed to display it.

Can you tell us a little more about the Launderer? I’m intrigued.

Greetings Rey

The Launderer, is one of my, probably most horrible and evil characters I have unleashed upon my readers, which I will explain now, I would like to say in advance, that this may perhaps be, unpleasant to read.

He is a member of Mayberrs's city council and director of "Mayberry's laundry for tainted women".

This, horrid institution is taking women by force, from their homes, friends and family, if they are seen as too "tainted" or in other words "sinful", usually those are women who are believed to be "out of line" and not fitting the cities "standards".

Here, the women of the city, who are taken to this place, are forced to wash laundry day in and out, overseen by "The Launderer" and his subordinates.

A woman is only released from the institution if "the Launderer" allows it, however, this is, very rarely the case.

There have also been, rumors about woman vanishing in the building, never heard and seen again.

I, would like to say, that ""Mayberry's laundry for tainted women" is based, on institutions that have, really existed, with the last one only closing in 1996, with these institutions being known as "Magdalene asylums"

Yours sincerely

I just, have a lot of thoughts when it comes to Cosmo (@zombiedeers) and Keratin and they make me emotional :´-)

Both of them don't have it easy in the city that is surrounded by walls and basically wants to tell them what to do and what is "right", however both being, unhappy in that situation.

And then, they meet each other, and things start to change.

Cosmo being there to comfort Keratin when there is again trouble with the hotel and the paperwork.

Keratin taking care of Cosmo when he isn't feeling well after a hard day at the nuclear power plant.

Cosmo listening to Keratin when she talks about her family, her brother, the accident and her late husband.

Keratin being there for Cosmo when he tells her about his parents.

Cosmo hugging Keratin when she cries because of a nightmare she had, were she was dreaming something happened to him.

Keratin holding Cosmo's hand and telling him everything will be alright when he is feeling weak from the radiation.

Cosmo giving Keratin an affectionate kiss on her cheek, making her purr.

Keratin doing the same on Cosmo's forehead, causing the dog's tail to wag.

Keratin and Cosmo being there for each other, when the signs get more clear that the walls won't last any longer.

Cosmo and Keratin, holding hands as they dare to walk out of the city, and to see what lies beyond.

Keratin and Cosmo, marrying, and deciding to combine their last names to "Sergei-Grand"

Cosmo and Keratin, sharing tears when their children are born, for they can grow up, without any walls surrounding them and a government that tells them what to do.

Both, of them sitting next to each other, having spend many years side by side, and looking back, about a life that was not always kind to them, but has changed to the better when they found each other, and now being a happy family.

[bowlerhatwearer]

I kind of like to think , that at one point the Roadkillerz are putting together a presentation with the name:

"So you have left Mayberry. What you need to know about the outside world."

And although they tried to make it as compact and informative as possible, it still ended up being a lot of slides/pages.

Blaise helped collecting information and Nikolai was ordered to put the presentation together, much to Nikolai's annoyance, but he did it.

I assume Jerome and Job know each other? since their both nicknamed "Father"

Greetings Anon

Oh believe me, they two knew each other, they knew each other well and they didn't like each other.

Both are Roman-Catholic priests who are assigned to the city of Mayberry, or in Job's case, he was once.

Father Jerome Alabastar who is the older of the two and grew up in Mayberry his whole life, believes that Job is too open and liberal as a fellow priest, not preaching the words of God properly.

Father Job Fahim, who grew up outside of Mayberry and was appointed as a priest into the city, he believes that Jerome's views are too outdated and that Alabaster refuses to go with time and progress.

Fortunately for Father Alabaster, Job Fahim went missing years ago, and Jerome had no qualm to spread the rumor that his fellow priest and colleague ran away with a women.

What happened to Constance?

Greetings Anon ^^

Ehehehe, I guess, that requires a bit of an explanation.

So, Constance Jacquemart or as she is usually known "The Phantom of Mayberry" is a bumblebee who lives below the city of Mayberry, even further down than the sewer system, however sometimes she can be found there as well.

The thing is, Constance Jacquemart is not her real name, but rather, the most, recent name she had taken, and even that was a "few" years...ago.

For you see, the bumblebee has not really, her, biological body anymore, or at least, most of it is now metal.

A lot has over time, been replaced by different kinds of clockwork, at this point, she is more, automaton than, really flesh and blood, but she still has the appearance of a bumblebee.

Constance is older than Mayberry, way older, and has arrived in these lands were the city was built, long before there was even a thought or concept about the town.

And there she lived, alone, in solitude and peace, isolated from everyone else, working on her clockwork machines, as she always wanted, without any disturbance.

However, this changed, on multiple accounts...and well, one of the more prominent ones was when the first people arrived to establish the city that would be known as Mayberry.

What did Constance do? Instead of moving away, she relocated her home, her workshop her machines everything underground, and thought there she would have peace.

But the city grew larger, and they dug deeper for the pipes, cables, tunnels etc. etc. and so, Constance dug deeper.

Until finally, everything grew silent, and she no longer could hear any construction work, and there, built her home, deep into the underground has she built it, were from this moment on, she continues working on her clockwork creations, big and small, simple and complex etc and to live her life.

Of course, despite that, there have been moments were she had left her home, with her usually moving through the sever system, were she, her silhouette or shadow has been spotted by maintenance workers but she easily slipped away before they could see more of her.

This was, what led to the rumors and legends of "The Phantom of Mayberry" and the bumblebee is aware about them, but does not mind if another bit of mystery is added to her.

No one knows were Constance really is from, with her shrouding her past in secrets and not revealing it on purpose, saying, what matters now, is that she lives here.

What is the church of the Righteous cross?

Greetings Anon

The Church of the Righteous Cross is a church that mainly operates and is spread in the United States, one of the places being the city of Mayberry where is is among the confession with the most followers next to Roman Catholicism.

One well known member of the church is Reverend Mitchell Canon who holds the believe that the church he is part of, is the only true way.

However it is important to note that the Church of the Righteous Cross, does not share this believe in general, and, the Church outside of the city isn't aware of what Mitchell is preaching about.

While the church may have held at one point, these believes, in the present they have been phased out and reformed, but of course, Mitchell still holds onto the "old doctrine".

who is "father" Batholomew?

Greetings Anon

"Father" Bartholomew Ekzem is another Roman Catholic priest who is also appointed as a priest in Mayberry, were he also grew up.

Ekzem's body is affected by a skin disease which he has for many years now, while different kinds of medicine and remedies help easing the discomfort and stopping the sickness from spreading, there is, as far as Batholomew knows, no cure for it, the illness he has is not contagious.

He takes his work very serious, usually he is holding masses for the lower income / family and the quarters/districts were they are living together with the working class areas, he is also holding masses in German for the German minorities and those of German descent who live in Mayberry.

At one point Batholomew became convinced that his skin disease was a punishment by god himself against him...seeing it as a sort of consequence and punishment due of the "Original sin".

The priest also usually does what Jerome expects him to do and also, does not object him, taking his side, although reluctantly and not really, by his own choice/will...

Bartholomew or Bart for short is around the same age as Job Fahim, and they were good friends, he was also the last person who saw and talked with Job....

who is this "HIM"?

Greetings Anon

That would be Fil M. Helmer

If I am not mistaken, I have already mentioned that a number of actresses have vanished in the film as well as later in the tv studio.

This is Fil's doing, however, for now, no one had suspected him.

Fil got his hands on a device, looking similar to an old film camera with which movies were made in the past.

And with that, he, literally is and has captured several actresses in portraits, that all hang now in his office, with no one knowing the real actresses are trapped in them, and the people believing Fil has those photographs/paintings as mementos of the vanished actresses.

Fil, does this for different reasons.

One of them because he does not want the actresses to "leave him", wanting them by his side, but also "conserving" their beauty, not having to see them getting older.

Which brings us to the next reason, by "photographing" the actresses, a bit of their life force, goes to Fil, which keeps him young and, in his view "beautiful" ensuring that there is not a single wrinkle on his face.

For now, no one has discovered Fil's dark secret....for now...

Whats Fed's review of Fli m's movies?

Greetings Anon

Well, he doesn't really watch those movies, they are too cheesy and the ending is so, so predictable, in the end, the hero gets the damsel in distress and they marry.

He does not have to watch those movies, if he already knows how the plot will be, so Fed would say.

Fed instead is more interested in watching, more experimental films from the 1920s, it is the lifestyle of the 20s/30s that Fed finds fascinating, the 50s don't really interest him that much, even if he is present in Mayberry.

Tell us. What does Lily thinks of mayberry?

Greetings Anon

What she thinks you ask, what she thinks about the city...this...prison surrounded by walls that tried to suppress her, to force her into a role she refused to play, who married a man she thought loved her, but actually wanted to rule over her, like the rest of the city, who demanded obedience, which she refused to give to him?

What she thinks of the city, that because of her husband's doings put her into "the Laundry" which she escaped with great effort, and then also escaped the city, not looking back and what she had to leave behind and give up, because of the people who wronged and hurt her?

Something tells me that, even if she is calm, she wouldn't mind personally witnessing, how the walls crumble, freeing those who have met the same fate in the city as she did.

Yours sincerely

Who is Lily Ordung?

Greetings Anon ^^

A lovely, quiet and yet very friendly and polite soul, living in a simple yet cozy hut, a bit away from the walls of Mayberry...and...another sphere/range of influence that is also present there.

She has been living there...for a while now, living all by herself and independent, in her home, with a vegetable/flower and herb garden and a well, which she all built herself.

The locals know her as a herbalist and some call her a "herb witch", people come and go to her place to get herbs and remedies for their ailments, which Lily provides them with and provides her with a small income.

Lily, also has, knowledge about using rune and plant based magic.

Yours sincerely
