Interview 
With A Character

<Alex> ::Comes out via window::

<Missy> ::yanks Morri out, making her promise to behave first::

<Arc> -=pokes his head in=- I get the strange sensation I'm about to be called.

<Aus> Arc, get in-... ack. Well, get in here.

<Arc> Thought so. -=wanders in and plops into a chair=-

<Laura> <gets in the studio audience>

<Tim> ::gets in the studio::

<Aus> -=sits in the audience=-

<Claire> Heyla Arc.

<Morri> ::innocent smile:: What...Me?  I always behave.

<Arc> Heyla, senorita Claire - yeah, Morrimun, be nice to Morri, she always behaves.  Just under her own moral standards.

<Missy> Yeah...right..just not well...::climbs into Morri's empty bubble, then pokes her head out:: Get back in Techie's head Arc...you dont want to be in mine.

<Arc>  Actually, I don't like being in anyone's head; it's part of being a 'character' in your little world. -=settles into a chair=-

<Long> Finally...... ::accompanies Alex::

<Alex> ::blinks:: ?  I'm one of the interviewers?

<Morri> ::takes complete control and smiles sweetly at Arc::

<Arc> Now, why am I here again?

<Aus> <m> Yer being interviewed.

<Laura> <giggles>

<Morri> You are our next victim..um..interviewee.

<Arc> Oh. ... -=shrugs, mutters=- I thought I was getting a cookie. Heyla, Morri, heyla, Aledx. <coughs> Alex. Stupid cold.  So yer askin' the questions? -=leans back in his chair=- Ask away.

<Alex> ::Shrugs, then sits down on the sill of his window::

<Morri> Well, why don't you start with a brief history, Arc... tell us about who you are and how you came to Rhydin?

<Arc> I am presently referred to as Arc Legarro; I got here by wandering along the nexus of space and time until I found a nice place where they seem to couple at. -=shrugs=- Brief enough for you?

<Morri> ::bites her lip and mutters:: Well... I did say brief...

<Arc> -=grins=- Be careful what you ask. Well, I presume you meant a -little- longer than that...

<Morri> No... that was fine... You mentioned couple in your answer... but aren't you a threesome now?

<Alex> ::Stifles a laugh, waving his four tails (hint?)::

<Laura> <notes Alex looks a little tailly today>

<Arc> All right. I have been wandering the dimensions of space and time for a while, finding things that needed fixing, troubles that needed starting, ends that needed to be reset...- eh? What's the third to time and space, the Void? Or Rhydin? -=chuckles=- I guess you could call Rhydin's relations with space and time a threesome...

<Alex> ::Blinks:: ?

<Arc> -=innocently smiles at Morri=-Or at least, Rhydin is one royally screwed-up place.

<Claire> <smirks at the misinterpretation>

<Morri> ::clears her throat and starts looking for her faulty pen again:: I was referring to Herb, Shidi and you...

<Arc> Oh, well, why didn't you say so? -=shrugs=- What about it?

<Morri> ::mutters more when she can't locate the pen::  Well..how did that come about?

<Alex> ::Just paying attention::

<Arc> -=shrugs=- Shidi fell in love with a mortal while still in love with me, without me getting cranky about it.

<Morri> ::sighs and turns to Alex, glaring:: Well...Aren't you going to ask a question?

<Arc> -=grins when Morri turns away, then goes back to the serious look=- Yeah, Alex, ask me a question, and I will answer. -=settles his hat and waits=-

<Alex> Ummm...ok...::thinks:: Ummm...when and how did you come to the Bardic Circle (formerly the Sundance)? ::Doesn't remember when Arc first came in::

<Arc> -=smiles slightly=- Ah... well, in Rhydinian mun-time, I first entered the doors of the Sundance almost 1.25 years ago, because I was tired, bored and looking for the local kender population. -=grins=- Seems I've done quite a bit of visiting since then - I wonder why.

<Morri> ::remembers the night she first met Arc and turns back with another sweet smile::

<Arc> -=gives the sweet smile a kendrish grin in reply=- Yes?

<Morri> Yes...That was about the time I arrived as well... on your wedding night I believe...

<Arc> Actually, no.

<Alex> Last time I first remembered Arc is when in the Academy of Magic....

<Arc> You were two or three munnic months late, Morri. More like two. -=shrugs=- And yeah, Alex, that would probably be the first time I had your acquaintance as well,-=chuckles=- Shortly after my little comment flowered.

<Morri> ::blinks:: Yes it was... I tried to kiss you and turned all the leaves red... and Shi and I fought for a while... and, well... :;frowns:: now we are all friends...

<Arc> -=turns back to Morri=- To be more exact, you made the leaves bleed.

<Morri> ::frowns more:: Um... well... bleed red... Same thing... right?

<Arc> Oh well, anyways... eh, sorta. Nice trick, but rather pointless.

<Morri> ::clears her throat again:: NEXT Question!

<Arc> -=shrugs=- Got more questions? I have more answers.-=grins=- . o 0 O ( It's rare to see Morri fidget on an interview, I think... )

<Alex> ::Erks:: O.o)) ::Thinks again::

<Morri> You and Shi have quite a large family..most adopted or from Shi..but I think you were pregnant once as well?

<Laura> <giggles, starts humming Treethumping>

<Arc> Heh, you don't remember? -=raises an eyebrow=- My, Morri, your memory is fading. As I recall, you were the one that proved it, so you really should remember.

<Alex> I remember.

<Morri> ::bites her lip and breathes deeply:: The egg?

<Alex> Me thinks so.....

<Arc> Heh, yes, Arc has laid a few eggs in his time - and this one was in a rather bad spot to be raised in.

<Morri> Um...::shudders:: yeah...walking around your body with you...So, what happened to the baby..um..egg...thingy?

<Arc> Well, it had to go somewhere, and I wasn't inclined to do that ridiculous body-stretching thing when there was no place for the child to go anyways. As for Novan, he's a wanderer in his own right. -=gentle smile=- Another wanderer of space and time...oh well, he's been by recently.

<Morri> <m>well, thats something at least....

<Arc> Ehhh, never restrict a person from what they desire, just make sure they don't fall on their face either.  Got a question, Alex?

<Morri> Alex..come on..jump in here...please?  ::looks as close to actually begging as she will go::

<Alex> Wouldnt' want that..... ::Thinks:: Hmmmmm......

<Arc> Don't make me start interviewing the two of you. -=wry grin=-

<Alex> ::Mind's now a blank:: Ummmm.......0.o))

<Morri> ::eyes go wide:; Um..Whats your favorite color?  Favorite trick...reciepe..anything?

<Arc> -=draws his broomgun from under his coat and begins checking it over as he waits=- I have a denoted preference for green in the beginning, silver in existence, and black in end.

<Alex> How did the TEoL go?

<Claire> <applauds Morri's question and giggles>

<Alex> ::Blinks at Morri:: ?

<Arc> -=turns to Alex=- It was finally put down, though far later than I would have hoped. Office politics has no concern for me.

<Morri> ::pulls out a silk hankie, sighing and delicately wiping her brow:: whew....

<Tim> ::chuckles quietly::

<Alex> Oh.....well, my memory's pretty much fading.....

<Arc> Eventually, perhaps, we'll get around to rebuilding it without that nonsense of backbiting  and threatlobbing - but for now, I honestly am indifferent. I don't know about anyone else, but I have no need for empire, for power, or for wealth to be happy in life.

<Morri> ::recovers and sits up straight:: Back to your family Arc...You have a new addition...

<Arc> -=leans back with a merry smile=- Next question? Yes, I noticed.  That would explain what Shidi's been carrying around in the sling, besides dragons.

<Morri> How do you feel about Shi's and Herb's baby..and will you be Daddy Arc..or Uncle Arc..or what? I don't really know how it works in harems...

<Arc> I'll be me. -=shrugs=-Why, Morri, I would have thought you'd be best on the subject. -=grins=- As for 'how do I feel about Shidi's and Herb's baby', it is the offspring of my angel.

<Alex> ::Stifles his laughs::

<Morri> ::blinks, then growls softly, narrowing her eyes::

<Alex> ::Blinks:: ?

<Morri> ::growls more:: I only have one in my bed at time...and speaking of beds...Do all three of you cram in one bed?

<Arc> Morri, Morri, Morri... -=shakes his head=- Shidi, at the very least, is a goddess, and you'd think she wouldn't be able to make a bed big enough to fit three people comfortably without that cramming problem? -=tsks=-

<Alex> ::"Moves" away from Morri::

<Morri>::leans forward, really going for broke now:: Well...How does it work exactly...do you and Herb take turns...or share..or is there some kinda lottery system?

<Arc> -=bursts out laughing=-

<Alex> o.o))()

<Laura> <giggles> Power ball?

<Arc> -=giggles=- Why, Morri, are you trying to get a lottery ticket?

<Morri> ::stands and throws her notes in the air::

<Tim> ack...

<Morri> Well..that does it!

<Arc> Awww... I broke another interviewer...

<Alex> O_O))()

<Morri> No more questions!  Thanks for your time, Arc... ::points her nose in the air, squares her shoulders and marches off::

<Arc> -=changes into a female with black hair and purple eyes, still in the trenchcoat and fedora=-

<Alex> Ermmm.....I got a question.....

<Arc> -=to Alex=- Nobody wants to talk to me... -=sniff=- ... All right, what question's that?

<Alex> Speaking of family, how's Reena, Theo, and the rest?

<Arc> Quite well, thank you for asking. At the moment, Reena and Theo are instructors at the Academy of Magic, Myst, Kanshi, and Simshi are getting better at their letters,... Novan doesn't drop by too often, but he's been around now and then... and Makorna-come to think of it, I don't know how Makorna is... -=shrugs her shoulders=-Anything else, Alex? -=kindly smile=- Or you just want outta here?

<Alex> Hmmm.......interesting......::Blinks::  What happened to Korny?

<Arc> Well, he rather died or something when he gave up the energy of the dragon seal to make Shidi into a greater goddess along with Myst to fight that Dlonn guy to the death; supposedly, he was going to wake up if and when he chose to - though I don't know whether he has or not, or in what condition he's in, or if he's just plain-ol'-annihilated.

<Alex> Ohhh......

<Arc> -=frowns=- I think I better go check on that, when this is over... -=rubs her eyes - shakes her head and morphs back into his usual appearance=-

<Ranna> ::Takes Alex down by pouncing him from behind into the ground:: Hi hi! Got a question!

<Arc> Heh... is that the end of the questions, or the beginning of the cagematch? ...Heh, okay...

<Alex> Olph! ::Surprised by Ranna's pounce::

<Ranna> Got any past loves?

<Arc> Eh... I have a few out there who I might have had momentary happiness with, if they'd survived being within 100 feet of me for long.  No great and powerful romances in my past, though.

<Ranna> Okies! That all!

<Arc>-=looks to the flattened Alex=- Anything else? Or you need to go fetch Morri? I think I broke her sensibilities.

<Alex> That...be...all.....

<Laura> Who's the victim next issue?

<Arc> All right. -=attempts to pluck Ranna off of Alex's back so he can stand=-

<Ranna> Meep!

<Aus> Hmm... I believe Alex Pendragon was next issue?

<Morri>::turns from the corner where she was trying very hard to ignore the rest of the interview::

<Arc> Yes, Roadrunner. Now get off the Alex's back now.

<Morri> I think we were going to finish off the Legarro Family with Herb.

<Arc> -=turns to Morri=- {S finishhim}! -=evil laugh=- -=grins cheerfully=- Sounds like interesting reading...

<Alex> ::Erks:: 9_6))

<Laura> Heh, the Legarro series.

<Arc> Just don't go backwards on us, Al, up ya go. -=helps him get up=-

<Alex> ::Gets up, but now a bit wobbly::

<Tim>Could be worse, they could be just starting the KSH.

<Arc> Could be worse, they could try interviewing the entire KSH at once.

<Aus> Ack...

<Tim>-Aus-!!!

<Claire>Ack

<Arc>-=evil grin=-

<Aus> What? Ugh...

<Tim> ::suffers a nervous breakdown::

<Morri>::turns off the recording devices and flips on the lights in the studio audience::

Thank gods that's over! Tune in next time, when our inteview victim may or may not be Herb Legarro.
