It's an easy enough question to answer. Anyway, what childhood trauma have you got related to furies?

Furies...as in..furies? Whaaaaaah? Why would that...?? Do I even want to...? No.

Perhaps the meaning's slightly different from the Norwegian one...

And possibly all of the American ones...

And some of my ones as well.

Then whatever did you mean?

I think that's something that's best not gone into any further. Just smile, nod, and slowly back away.

That would be the usual approach, yes.

*Dogdes a savagely aimed piece of fruit thrown by darakat...*

Flying fruit? *slowly turns and starts to walk away*

Don't underestimate the dangers of fruit as a weapon!

Oh, wow.

Especially when hit by a cricket bat.

In some circumstances I think I'd rather be hit by fruit than the cricket bat. Not all, mind you now, but some.

And what you use to give it velocity...

And the manipulative abilities of the operator.

Not to mention the top spin, and any pneumatic/hydraulic/explosive device you can think of... Oh, yeah, and telekinetic abilities, if you happen to have any.
