NEVER! BWAHAHAHAHA!
No jk
Don't worry, maybe someday after we finish high school...and graduate from college...and get a job...and get our pensions...and have lazy afternoons in our rocking chairs...ah, right about then ;)
Sorry Noria...WE NEVER SEE EACH OTHER!

INTERVEIW
Since the majority of voters approved, we are now having a press conference type of thing. Ask anything-- if we don't know, we'll make it up. And it will instantly become canon. So-- how this works: Ask us questions in the comments, and we will answer them in the next post. Be imaginative!
Note-- since we have, like no details posted, I've begun sections in the pages (see sidebar) where I'll post information on the culture, geography, wildlife, economy, etc. of the regions. So you might want to check there before you ask. (Probably not, though- I haven't written very much yet. ^^;;)

Creation Comic, Part One
After I finished writing the story (in class, remember?), I thought I needed practice drawing jiiaii, and then H.E.You asked what Other looked like, and then I drew it, and then I was wondering what the facial expression should be, and then I decided to show the first scene, and then the rest of the scenes happened. After that I Photoshopped it, becuase I didn't want to color it manually.
He.E.You doesn't really like how the coloring on Fire came out, and neither do I. I was going to make it/him properly red-orange-yellow, but I was too lazy. ;P But I love the light, especially on Earth. (You can see a bit on Water in the eighth panel too).
Time:...about 5 hours, I think? Medium:sketch with pecil, outline in ballpoint pen and Sharpie, final in Photoshop.
PS YOU CAN CLICK IT TO MAKE IT BIGGER.

The Creation of the World
I wrote a short story in class today. It is, as the title suggests, the creation of the world, Hourglass Kingdom style. It's mostly a dialogue fic, but I think you should be able to figure out who's talking.
In the beginning there was nothing. Well, not quite. There were laws of quantum and physics, come up with on the fly by the Five, the Originals who collectively decided that it was unfair to be able to have infinite size and sneak attack yesterday. Thus Time and Space were Created. Now four of the Five would have been content to quietly exist and embody abstract principles, but Other had, well, other ideas...
--All right... so what if I get in a war? I don't have much physical presence, and why only three years ago Earth and Air had that squabble... I know. I'll just take some of the leftover mass, they'll understand, I'm sure. Huh. Lookit. This bit of earth's turned into a sphere. GUYS! HEY, GUYS!
--What is it, oh Other?
--Look! It's a ball! Why is that? Air?
--Well... we did sort of make up the laws of physics as we went along... This must be an unexpected side effect.
--Hey! If I poke it starts turning back into a ball! Look! Isn't it cool?
--Wow!
--Stop doing that; it's not right. Fire, stop!
--No, this is cool. But it's so slow... Let's give it some more energy. Fire, a little more juice~...?
--BOOYAH!
--Careful! This could be dangerous! Have you considered the consequences at all?
--Nope.
--Look at them. They are beautiful.
--They're just bits of compressed energy. Nothing special, just messy.
--You have no sense of adventure, Air. And they are. Beautiful, I mean. And see what it's doing now... well, at least some of the energy made into the little… planet.
--Planet.
--Yep, planet.
--Don't name it; you'll get attached!
--I'm already attached. I'm going to put some water down. And now it won't freeze what with Fire's explosion.
--See? I'm awesome.
--Well, all right. This is an interesting experiment.
--Now the earth is all covered up.
--Look, I'll just poke it and now there's parts sticking up, okay?
--We should add a layer of air, just to be fair.
--Good idea.
--Sure!
--...
--...
--...
--...
--...
--Now what?
--I'm going down for a closer look. And it's spinning around the... sun. Sun-sun-sun. How fascinating. COME ON, EARTH!
--Aah!... Wait, I dropped my--*
--No time. This is beautiful.
And thus the world was Created.
*The moon. In case you can't figure that out.
I guess this is what they mean when they say 'humble origins.' The Originals do eventually get the laws of physics worked out, since before they were just sort of willed into existence to regulate the physical conflicts and level the playing field. By that time, however, they'll have created life and won't fix it so as not accidentally kill off everything in existence. They'll be arguing about pi for millenia. :)
I hope you get a good idea of each Original's personality. But Earth isn't always that grumpy he/it's just a bit stubborn and xenophobic ;). Please comment!

Poll
Okay-- I know this whole thing is kind of confusing, so I was thinking I might have a sort of interveiw thing. I posted a poll, but (at least on my computer) the question is too long so it goes on top of the answers. For clarification, it says 'Should we make a post where you ask questions in the comments and we answer?' and the answers are 'Yes,' 'No,' and 'I don't care; do whatever,' in that order. Please vote!

Concept Art (Wow, more?)
I made a picture, as you can see, of the Marshes (see here for the map -->http://noriagray.blogspot.com/2009/10/map-of-hourgalss-kingdom.html). While I don't much like the picture itself, I really do love the effect.
Time: about 1 hour Medium: all in Photoshop CS4
