"A troubled Norn writes in... There's no cheese left in Albia!"

Ask Laura is an agony aunt advice column at Creatures Caves, based on the original Ask Trish column at Helen's Bibble Directory. It originates from an email which Laura sent to Helen, asking if she could contribute to Ask Trish in any way. The idea was then forwarded to Rascii who implemented it.

The column is light hearted humour, offering advice on coping with the daily woes of Albia's/the Shee Ark's inhabitants. Whether the creatures (and let's not forget the Hand!) who write in are unhappy in love, experiencing difficulties with inter-species relationships, having caretaking problems, or even if they've just run out of cheese and don't know how to cope, Ask Laura is there to help.

As an example, the following is one the earlier questions to the column:

Dear Laura,
My Norn wants to dye his hair pink with a pigment rotation in his head... I think fluorescent green would suit him better. Since I have the power to do whatever I want, do I make him happy, make me happy, or feed him to the piranhas? What do you think?
- Lanky
Dear Lanky,
Is your Norn a adolescent by any chance? Teenagers love expressing themselves. I reckon fluorescent pink would be really wicked since green is so last year! If you do decide to disagree with him prepare to expect rebellion. Imagine how impressed the other Norns will be when they see him with pink hair! It might impress the females if you know what I'm saying. Let him have the pink hair! He'll soon get tired of it anyway.
- Laura
Though, hopefully my writing skills and sense of humour has improved over the years! ;)

Ask Laura Items Pack

It's been suggested, in the Creatures Caves forums, that an items pack should be created, with agents based on all the different, fun and quirky things featured in the Ask Laura column:

  • A Grendel-Hide Couch. Pushing the couch scares the Grendels a little and comforts the Norns. It also regularly vends moldy carrots, the occasional lost sock... and one other rare, 'surprise' item.
  • Edible Crayon Seeds. Dispensed from a crayon box-seed packet, these seeds grow into edible crayons of purple, green, orange and yellow; a waxy addition to any homely garden!
  • Tea Vendor. A small vendor which would produce different "flavors" of tea based on what button you pressed on it. Different types of tea would have different interactions, one might be protein-rich, one full of starch, ect. ect. ect.... Should have a steampunkish art style used for it's sprites.
  • Sonic Atomizer Cannon. A gadget which has tilty buttons so it can be aimed like the C1 cannon toy. When triggered, by means of another button or just being pushed shoots a blast of laserlike light, killing creatures in it's path, kill-hoting agents, and blasting stuff about in typical raygun style. Maybe has some kind of "lock" to keep little paws away.... ....and still attached to their owners. Might come with connection ports.
  • Chicken/Rooster. A critter that wanders about, laying eggs and crowing whenever the "day" changes. Harmless, but a bit annoying. If eaten it bursts in a cloud of feathers, giving the norn protein. Based on the annoying edible rooster critters joke.
  • Cheese-O-Tron. A vendor that makes several types of cheese including the grendel cheese.

Interesting Facts

  • The column first opened its doors to curious Norns on June 3rd, 2003.
  • The 500th Ask Laura question was submitted on the August 3rd, 2005. The Ask Laura Mystery Agent was created by Liam and nornagon to commemorate this.
