TOA Tara Friends
Dear Diary,
I used to not have many friends. I have always had trouble meeting people because I am shy and not many people like the same books I like. But now that I am part of TOA, I have met many nice people who I am happy to call my Friends. Here is a list of them so that I will not forget when Christmas comes around.
Contents
Mark
Mark is the friend of mine I have known longest of all the people on this list. He owns a bookshop with some really neat and hard to find books and is always helping me out with finding interesting knowledge. He helped me find out about Dr. Vren's evil experiments for example! I do not know what I would do without him, he was the one who introduced me to TOA and got me my current job.
I introduced Viveka to Mark and I think she liked him a lot, or at least liked the bookstore a lot. She has spent a lot of time there doing research, I think it is great.
Zii
Agent Zii is my boss but he never is mean or yells at us. He has some really great mango iced tea he likes to sip on and sometimes he even shares. Sometimes he makes jokes I don't understand but he never makes me feel dumb for not getting them. Except he calls me Pokey and I don't like that very much. Anyways, he put our team together and is always helping us when we get stuck. He is very funny!
Lucy
Lucy is not exactly my friend because I don't know her very well. She is always doing things just perfectly, except for some reason when she is around Lily. It makes me a little bit nervous because I can never be that perfect. Anyways she is always very kind so hopefully someday I will get to know her better.
I am a little worried about her right now because she never takes vacation, ever, except now she has and no one knows what to do without her. I hope everything is okay! I wish we could help her!
Diiman
His actual name is Joseph Dimanche but everyone calls him Diiman since that is his acting name. He is in a ton of movies like Live and Let Explode and Big Shiny Guns and Guns in Space. I was so surprised when I found out he worked for TOA! I thought he would be mean and stuck up since he is so famous and good looking but really he is very nice. When I was very upset about Henry he and Ceelie came over with a big movie screen and popcorn. Diiman likes guns and cute things and talking about himself, and his car too. He drives too fast but otherwise is great.
What I discovered about him in our most recent Adventure with the Nightmare is that he is afraid of being all alone and ignored and stuff. So I am trying extra hard to listen to him even when he is really excited and not making a lot of sense. He is very nice and should not be sad!
Ceelie
Ceelie looks like a little blue doll- she is just six inches tall and is just sooooo cute! She can fly around with her little pixie wings and has very good telepathy. She acts like the center of our group when we are moving in different places, it is so useful. Also since she is so young she is very virtuous, so it is easier for me to talk to her than some of the others. I like her a lot. She lives with Diiman and rides on his shoulder or in a pocket a lot.
What I discovered about Ceelie in the Nightmare Adventure is that she really really wants to find her original person who owned her (when she was just a doll and not alive). She was very sad when we had to take her out of her dream and I felt very bad about it. I think the others did too. I hope maybe we can find her lady and she will be happy again.
Well we found Helen, she is actually still a little girl in real life! Ceelie was very glad to meet her again.
Lily
Lily is the computers expert of our little team, I think maybe there is nothing she cannot do with them! She is very good at finding things out with her computer and at stopping big computerized weapons that are trying to attack us. And she is good at Tetris. But she is not very good at being nice, she is always saying little mean things and just being not very nice. I am trying hard to like her though and it seems like she is getting a little bit nicer as she gets to know us more.
Lily is also President Eltren's daughter (the Mistic guy). And I think she is kind of a robot, or something. I do not really understand what we saw in her Nightmare. I think she is afraid of having too much power and ruling the world. Which is a good thing to be scared of!
Viveka
Viveka looks a little bit scary, she is a doppelganger and has some trouble making herself nice looking to other people. But despite it she is actually very nice and knows a lot about cooking. She is also really good at fighting people but is shy about crowds. I would like to get to know her better but I think that will have to be when we are not working, she is never very comfortable even around our size of group.
Sometimes Viveka is a little too quick to want to kill people, I think she is just very defensive and is pulled a little bit by her Nature. But she is not really cruel, just sometimes does not consider things all the way! Or maybe she just has different priorities.
Li
Li is a very handsome red and gold Drakk. He is very strong and very calm, because he actually has a very fierce temper he has to control very carefully. I think he is just amazing, always so soft spoken and working so hard to make himself even better. We found him in a monastery where he has lived I think his whole life, so it is strange for him to rejoin the rest of the world but he is making his way. He also does calligraphy but sometimes (a lot) he breaks the quill! He is the only one other than Ceelie who is always virtuous, well except when he gets in a bad temper. I like having him around.
Li is not really afraid of anything! And when we were fighting the Nightmare Li punched out the fake Henry, he is so wonderful and protects his friends very bravely. He is the best!
Lorai
Lorai is President Darco of DDC's little daughter. She is so so cute! We helped to protect her when the DDC trade show was attacked by a bunch of people... including Mistic! Oh that made me so mad! Lorai likes to play with blocks and to help her daddy with his speeches.
Edrey
I am not sure whether Edrey count as a friend, but he did help me find out more about Dr. Vren and Pandemonium so I will put him on this list! He was the first Fate Weaver I ever met and he really liked disco. He liked it so much that when I first met him I could not help but dance. Later I was very embarrassed at how I acted. Anyways, he is a fun person but a little bit too forceful in making other people dance when maybe they are too shy to!
Lebrek
Lebrek is one of the most friendly people I think ever! He works at the bookstore coffee shop at the Soho Mall and he makes really great coffee. Also, he is a Qi-Zan, so sometimes he knows what I am thinking and just naturally answers it. But since I am used to Ceelie I really do not mind. Though he is a little embarrassed about it so I try to pretend I do not notice. Anyways when the mall went crazy (we still do not know why) he got hurt by some total jerk kids and I healed him, so I hope I will see him more in the future. Also he helped me pick out great books.
Emero
Emero is a really cute little guy made out of green crystals. Ceelie especially likes him. He can bounce around really fast and also zap people! We met him when we were battling in the Coliseum and then he came back and joined TOA with us. He is great! He is secretly afraid though of failing and not being useful, and of Ceelie not liking him. Well I think all of us, but mostly Ceelie. Emero also knows lots about finding his way around caves, so that was a big help when we were leaving the Nightmare's cave! I hope he stays with us for a long time.
After the golden fork adventure, Emero kind of... stopped being real. Ceelie was heartbroken because she liked him so much. But we worked really hard and got a lot of help, and after a while he will be real again because we believe in him!
Daestra
Even though Daestra works for Mistic, she really is not a bad person and maybe she even could be convinced to work for TOA. She has really great powers of telepathy, even stronger than Ceelie I think! Or maybe different. She really saved us (with Viveka of course) when we were separated by the Nightmare, even though her whole team got killed. It was brave of her.
She also has no legs due to an accident that I did not ask about because it seemed rude. But she makes replacement ones out of metal and they work great! And they store stuff! Most of the rest of the group does not like her just because she works for Mistic, except Lily likes her okay. But I know she can become a good person.
Planetary Defenders
There are five of them: four Nu'mair of different elements and a human who stands for Love! They are very interested in protecting the environment and making the planet a better place for everyone who lives here. They fight their evil polluting nemesis a lot! I met them at Maestra's competition, and though they did not win, I thought their speech was very stirring.
Grapha
Grapha is a Fateweaver of history and she used to be Empress of the world. Marcus Drake about 500 years ago convinced her to not rule the world because it was not working out, and so she reweaved history to be how it is now. Then Marcus Drake founded TOA and she has helped us out ever since.
She is very mysterious but also very lonely. We found out just recently that she loved Marcus and wished desperately she could have kept him alive and had a baby with him. Ceelie and I have decided to spend more time with Grapha and be her friend more! I am going to invite her to sushi tomorrow.
Well, that is all for now! Hopefully I will meet even more nice people and make even more friends.
