Reading Ace's stuff reminded me:
Padraig O'Neill is on good terms with Vulpine Fury... at least from his end, because "That daft Yank Puppeteer is the only *appropriate emphatic phrase* in all of Fenspace who consistently spells my name right!"
VF doesn't think ill of him, per se... it's just that VF was a lot more protective of his "intellectual property:" as in, "this machine is mine, you no can has!"
That said, Arthur and VF would probably get along swimmingly... except VF would be cautious because the last person he had the same things in common with was Asmodeus Grey.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
