Countdown to Addergoole Year 9: Reid Solomon

[aldersprig]

52 42 Days To 52 Weeks

For the 52 days leading up to the 52 weeks of Addergoole: Year 9, I will be posting something Addergoole-related every day.

Today I present to you Professor Reid Solomon.

The skinny professor looks like exactly what he is: a former NASA rocket scientist, complete with coke-bottle glasses and short-sleeved button-down shirt. He's lanky, with dark, curly hair that probably should have gone grey by now.

He appears many places throughout Addergoole, as he is the Math Professor and several people's Mentor as well

And, today, if you would like to ask Professor Solomon any question, at any point up to the beginning of Year Nine, please feel free!

Bonus: I also present DJ, Ty's parent.

The hermaphroditic villager is a cornerstone of the greater community, acting as purchasing agent as well as, along with Maureen, moving among the greater community, finding parents to foster children as well as parents to /parent/ children.



The first four question-and-answer sessions are still open as well:
43 to go: Jeremiah and Lolly (LJ)
45 to Go: Timora (LJ)
46 to Go: Porter (LJ)
47 to go: Wylie (LJ)

Reid: How'd you get that name?

DJ: What was Ty like as a baby?

/Reid coughs/

Well, you see, when one has a name like Ruadhán, one ends up having to Anglicize it at some point. And so I went with Reid.

Why my father called me Ruadhán, well, I suppose he had a bit more of the sight than some.

Ah, Ty was an adorable baby, all smiles, the sweetest of all my children. Little Siriana is much like it in that. Fussy as it got older, of course, but only for a year or two.

Ty was also my oldest... and I may have spoiled it a little.

Reid: What does Ruadhán mean, then? :D

DJ: Hehe, I'm not surprised. So what do you like best about working for Regine?

[aldersprig]

Well. It means "red," "ruddy," but it's also Anglicized as "Rowan." /cough/

Reid, why do you teach at Addergoole? What is it like when you have your own child as a student?

DJ, what is the most unusual thing you have bought for Regine/Addergoole/the Village?

[aldersprig]

/Reid smiles/

I enjoy teaching. I enjoy teaching bright, engaged minds the most, and teaching students how to use their magic is a wonderful thing.

Teaching Conrad was... interesting. Harder before I decided to tell him, and very frustrating when he was trying to flunk himself out of classes. But he's a bright boy, of course; his mother was nothing short of brilliant.


/Dj smirks/

Ah, that's interesting. Unusual is such a loaded word. There were the kimono, of course, and the tropical plants, the parrot... oh, that parrot! the bondage gear...

...the costumes.
