A pet dragon?? That’s so cool! How big is it? What does it look like when it’s not disguised?
Everett stares absently for a moment before replying. “He’s approximately the size of a seven story building, if each story is fifteen feet in height. He’s spiky and white, and his teeth are crooked. And the horns on his head… they are also crooked.”
What do you want to do when you grow up? Supposing there wasn’t anyone to tell you what they expect of you.
“I’d consider a job in archaeology, but little archaeological work is done in T’kayon. The T’kayons believe they’ve discovered everything, yet apparently their claim in knowing ‘everything’ excludes the gigantic dragon cave I found under them.”
Also, is T’kayon a country or a city?
It’s a country!
Sorry, I wasn’t sure if this question was a part of the interview lol.
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
Hii! I’m sorry, it’s been a while. I suddenly got busy with extra school stuff, but I hope to reply faster when summer comes.
“Oh, thank you! Sure. Are you a journalist?”
Hmm, I suppose I’m being a journalist for this particular moment. Have you ever been interviewed by a journalist, at any time other than now?
“Depends on the word. I suppose I just think of it like it is. Do you have an example?”
Sure! My first thought was the word “dreamlike,” as I believe there could be varying opinions on what fits in that category.
Another question, if that is alright. What is your city like (how advanced is it in technology, architecture, etc.)? How long have you been there?
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
Hi Everett! I’m Lindy. It’s nice to meet you. How are you doing? Would you like a cookie? *holds up a plate of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies*
Everett waves hello, but hardly looks at you. He takes a cookie. “I am fine. Thank you.” Next he proceeds to carefully remove the chocolate chips out of the cookie and eat them only.
So, first question, what’s your full name?
“Everett Anthony Lafayette.”
Who are your favorite people in your life?
Everett blinks. His voice remains very monotone. “My sister is one of them, and my close friends. But they are all very loud.”
How old are you?
“I am seventeen. Everyone thinks I’m younger, since I’m not tall compared to other people where I live.”
Do you have any pets?
“I have a pet dragon. He lives in a cave and guards cursed metals. No one except my friend Jonathan believes me. The dragon disguises himself as a giant rock wall when other people are around.”
What’s something you love about where you live?
He frowns, glancing around as he contemplates. “I don’t know. I don’t exactly like where I live; there’s too many rules. I like looking at the clouds, but clouds can be anywhere.”
What kind of education did you have growing up? Are you still in school?
Everett shakes his head no. “I went to a school in T’kayon until I was ten. There was numerous rules and too many concepts I don’t think I’d ever use. Some were okay, I guess. People in T’kayon expect normal kids to grow up as soldiers, priests or some kind of legislator or business owner. I don’t want to do any of those things.”
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
ummmm let’s go with Darby. Warning: I only made him up a few days ago so he’s super underdeveloped.
Alright! Hopefully my questions are okay lol.
Hey Darby! Cool name! I’m Beth. Are you okay with me asking a few questions?
What kind of activities are you good at? Do you prefer ones that take up more brain energy or physical energy?
Is there anything in your world that you’d change when it comes to socialization? Such as how people are greeted or what is considered rude or polite?
What are your parents like, if you know?
When you hear a word, do you simply think of the word as it is, or does a certain scene or color (or maybe something else) come to mind?
What’s your favorite color, and is there a specific shade of it that you like?
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
Yay! Which character would you like me to ask?
Oh okay, thanks! Hmmm… I have a character named Everett that I’ve tried to write for on KP a couple times. He can be extremely awkward and quiet so it might be odd to put him in an interview, but I’d be up to trying it if that’s alright XD.
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
Hiii! I can try to ask one of your characters some questions. I had a few interview questions in mind for this topic a little bit ago and now I’m trying to remember what they all were… (I may only have a few to start off with, if that is okay)
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
Describe the dynamic between Protectors and Menders. I’ve never heard of this system before. What is your society like?
Leander smiles and nods. “I’ll explain the best I can. At Eldallion’s beginning, the Belnayan Protectors and Menders were put in the world to… not rule it, but to keep its order. Every race of Protector and Mender has a different gift. Another nation rose, maybe…” He pauses, his eyebrows furrowing in thought. “Two thousand years ago? They’re called the T’kayons, and they began a war which ended with only a quarter of the Belnayan people remaining, and today Belnayans are cornered into a small continent of land on the west side of the world, while the rest of Eldallion is at war.”
I assume you have that ability. How difficult is it to do? What do you usually use it for in your everyday life?
“It is a bit difficult, but I’ve developed more control over it. There aren’t many En’Garun left who know how to properly use it in battle. I can safely say the shadow-form isn’t supposed to be used for everyday activities. It easily shatters objects.”
Unfortunately? *Chuckles* What is that supposed to mean?
Leander shakes his head. “I somehow make friends with eccentric people. They aren’t unfortunate, so I suppose it’s the situations they get in that make it unfortunate… Because then I’m guilty by association.”
Who do you care about the most?
He thinks about that for a moment, then shrugs. “I don’t know, actually. I think I care about a lot of people. I would say I’m concerned for the mental wellbeing of some more than others.”
Would you describe yourself as hot-tempered or level-headed?
“I used to believe that I was a level-headed,” he says almost gravely, then he smiles and his tone changes. “Yet then my tolerance for stupid decisions was quickly squashed and everyone is now an unusual level of frustrating.”
Daredevil or careful?
“I’m very careful. I try to be, at least.”
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
There are no deadlines. :]
Alright! Thanks. XD
Also, I entirely forgot to mention that Leander is about 18.
So, Leander, why are you green?? I feel the need to ask. I’m sure you get that question a lot.
Leander is willing to converse, and a smile quickly appears after the question. “People in the past millennia have formed their own theories about why En’Garun are green, and I think most of them are ridiculous. All I could confidently say is that the Almighty wanted it that way. My best friend was not content with that answer. Now he goes around trying to convince others that the En’Garun grew from green beans.”
So you’re an En’Garun, huh? Could you describe what that is?
He stares hard at something in the distance, trying to form an explanation. Then, he looks back with intense focus on his face while he speaks. “The En’Garun are a race of people from the continent of Belnaya, which is inside the world of Eldallion. Anyone who is Belnayan is either classified a Protector or a Mender. En’Garun are Belnayan Protectors. We have an ability to form shadow-figures which can assist in battle. Think of it as a three-dimensional shadow that can hit as hard as a rock on impact.”
Are you a social person? Do you have any friends?
“I would say I’m social,” he pauses for a moment, no longer smiling as he thinks. “Yet I would say that unfortunately yes, I have a few close friends.”
Is there anything you want in your life that is hard to get/accomplish? What drives you, so to speak?
Leander sighs, then suddenly smiles again. He nearly laughs before he talks. “I would enjoy quietness for a few seconds. I’m driven to help people, and I’ll stay by my companions until they’re tired of me.”
What is something unique about you that other people comment on?
“Not exactly. Only people outside of Belanya stare at me and comment, unless my friend starts making a scene about something.”
Do you have any weird phobia/passion? (I liked this question of yours) (Thanks!!)
Leander shrugs. “Nothing unusual. I have a distaste for green beans now because of bothersome, although clearly satirical, theories. Not really a phobia or passion, though…”
What’s your least favorite food?
Leander frowns, then beings confidently, “Soggy crackers dipped in some kind of sauce. People should leave crackers alone. They are completely acceptable as being dry and plain.”
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
I have some questions here for anybody who wants them! I tried to not repeat any questions, sorry if I did.
Does your character have a crush?
Do they have a weird phobia/passion?
Would your character jump into a dangerous situation to save someone they don’t really like?
What kind of people annoy your character, and what kind of people are they drawn to?
If your character has watched movies, what would their favorite quote be from tv?
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
Yay!! Thanks! If my character sounds awkward, it’s probably because my brain did the freezy-thing and I can’t think of a reply lol.
I’ll add a character I haven’t done too much with yet. His name is Leander, and he’s from the fantasy world in my WIP. He’s called an En’Garun (unless I changed the word in my story, because I change words often), which is a type of magic person (I’m not sure if I should further elaborate). They’re all green, and Leander is a slightly obnoxious shade of light green. He wears a basic tunic and brown cargo pants and he usually lacks shoes. I’m not entirely sure of his personality yet.
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
Aw thank youuuuuuu!! I’m usually scared of my drawings but I was actually quite pleased with that one lol!
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
Hiii! Might I be allowed to join in on this? I apologize in advance, since I’m not exactly great at asking and answering questions (in real life and when writing character dialogue) but maybe this will help, and it sounds fun.
Or maybe my brain will just freeze, but idk yet!XD."YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
We apparently do have very similar preferences for music 😂
I also like all of those Allison Eide songs!
Yeah! There are just a few of Claire Leslie’s songs that I like. Twenty Something is probably my favorite. I tried to like the song Original but I couldn’t get into it lol. Also her music also reminds me of the summer for some reason. Especially the song Passanger Seat and 24/7. Those just seem like summer songs…
I have heard of those artist but I haven’t listened to too much of their music. I’m always up for finding new music though! I did recently start listening to Britt Nicole and I do like some of her songs!
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
WAIT REALLY?! THAT IS CRAZY 😱 I’ve never ever found anyone who knows anything about those artists (except Leanna Crawford lol!)
I also like the sound Allison Eide’s music, but I don’t prefer her latest song. Have you ever listened to Claire Leslie? I like some of her music also. Although there are a few songs that I don’t like as much though because of the tune.
It is so fun that you’ve also heard of those music artists though!! 😂
"YoUr mOtHeR mAkEs MeDiOcRe PiEs!"
Hellooooo! I’m gonna search through my music and see if I can find the 5 songs I listen to most rn🥳 Mine are all Christian songs.
1. Poetic by the Band JAREN
2. Rewind by Shalom Malee
3. Upside Down by NONAH
4. Borrow Mine by Leanna Crawford
5. Suddenly by The Young Escape
These probably aren’t my top 5 favorite songs, but I listen to them often enough.
