More on That Fic

[graculus]

A follow-up question from yesterday:

Imagine you're a male fictional character who has a somewhat chequered track record with the opposite sex. You get together with another female character from your universe, ignoring the fact that she's about 20 years younger than you and that you used to babysit her. You have twins and you name them after your definitely-dead ex-wife and your possibly-dead ex-lover.

Is it just me or is that (by which I mean the naming your children part, mostly...) a really creepy idea?

Quads? Now, that's just being silly. Perhaps two sets of twinnies, separated by a mere nine months, to demonstrate both their familial warmth and Papa's awesome virility?

They would of course, all be so alike in looks that everyone would *think* they were quads of course.

Possibly redheads.

Though I can't quite decide between a verdant emerald or a sumptuous amethyst for the eye colour. Hmm. Maybe one of each. Left eye green, right eye purple.

If they are quads, that would make a total of eight eyes, so each eye could be a different rainbow color - luminescent red, radiant orange, dazzling yellow, said verdant green, oceanic blue, bottomless indigo, your sumptuous amethyst, and the last one could be ultraviolent and shoot lasers or sumthin'.

Maybe they could *all* have a special nicitating membrane that allows them to all shoot lasers from their eyes. A nicitating membrane with really cool refractive properties.

I rather fancy the radiant orange and dazzling yellow eyes, actually. It sounds like it would really be something to see. I think we might want to fit a clear cerulean, or maybe a crystalline azure in there somewhere too. Perhaps they could all have a third eye? Just to cover the possibilities.
