[@Loony] HMM, well, do we have any confirmation that Talc was actually born in the Kindergarten?  I don't remember.  Maybe the word disposable has something to do with why he's actually there.

And that's kind of funny, and another way in which our writing styles are similar.  So Spinel isn't much like Original Eve, but still in some ways a little similar to Current Eve.  They probably would have been nope buddies if I hadn't taken Spinel in the direction she's going now.  Original Eve actually sounds kind of like [i]Original[/i] Original Spinel, now that I think of it.  The version of Spinel from Thing That Will Not Be Named was really loyal to homeworld to start off with too, but wasn't always intended to be that way.
