******** Ok- T- Testing! One, two, three.. H-hello? Ok, it's on. As always, I am Sam Petrew; reporting here in Metropolis, December 27, twenty days since the Ziggurat fell. There are still searches going about there- not for survivors though, unfortunately. Anyway, I've heard from a reliable source that the major Marduk, Rock, has been trying to piece his life together again, and I'm going to see if that rumor is true. Oh, I hope it is- just imagine the story! 'Marduk: Found After Horrid Ziggurat Ordeal- film at eleven!'

******** Testing, testing, one-two, one-two... One-two and a half! Ok, I'm done now. It's the Twenty-ninth, and I found him! He's down in Zone One, hiding from most people.. I'm going to try and get his attention. He's just so evasive though..! Anyway, my electronic diary, keep your hopes up, for Sam Petrew gets his man! ...Just once a blue moon.

******** "Is it on?"

Yeah, it's on, don't worry. Now- oh, go ahead, take a seat- now, Rock, I was hoping to interview you for a bit.

"..."

...

"It was a mistake coming here-"

No! Don't leave!

"And why shouldn't I?"

..What will you be going back to?

"..."

You know you have nothing there- you have nothing you're even living for. So please, if you'll return to your seat..

"*Sigh* What is it you wanted to know?"

Look, you may not be aware of it, but there are hoards of female fans out there, and they want to know anything they can get out of you.

"... I'm not open for any dates, nor am I looking for one. AND IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE FREAKIN' FEMMES WHO KEEP TRYING TO WATCH ME WHILE I TAKE A FRICKIN' SHOWER-!!"

Calm down, Rock, you're going out of character!

"Ugh.. you're right."

Why are you so defensive about not wanting a date, anyway? Is there someone you like?

"No!"

Someone.. male?

"..."

O-Ok, you can put the gun down.. No, seriously, Rock.. Puty the gunny downy..

"... Never.. EVER say I'm gay!"

Aw, but you've just made a large portion of your fans whine!

"I SAID-!"

Calmdownandputthegunawayfrommyfaceplease?

"Uh.. no, I said 'never ever say I'm gay'.. ... WHICH I'M NOT!!"

You'reawfullydefensiveonthatsubject- Iknowaskingthiswillgetmekilled,butisthereareasonwhy?

"..If you.. had all those women.. HOUNDING you.. day and night.. hoping that you'll get some from another MAN.."

Let'smoveonshallwe??

"Let's."

Canwetakeawaythegunnow?

"Oh.. uh, sorry, I kinda forgot.."

Phew!! Ok.. Now, a subject that a lot of fans seem to focus on is your angst potential.. You know, with how Duke Red never seemed to care for you..

"..How did you know that?"

I watched the movie.

"Ahh.. Anyway, as you were saying?"

Well, what did you feel on your relationship with Duck- er, Duke Red?

"Duck Red...?"

Typo.

"Father.. I would have travelled through Hell and a half to serve him.. He raised me, and for that I am ever grateful. We were close once.. and onto those memories I cling. ..."

So you're going to confirm that you had angst about it?

"..Call it what you will. As for myself.. I call it loyalty. ..Can we move on?"

Um.. let's see.. we covered the Duck Red factor.. the possible homosexuality.. umm.. What do you like?

"Huh?"

Like, you know, ice cream? Video games? Duct tape?

"Duct tape..? ..O..kaaay.. Well.. hm. I don't think on that much.."

Obviously.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that."

Ok ok ok I won't say anything like that just please don't take that gun out again..

"Anyway.. Well, I have to say I like the color red.. Well, both because of my father and.."

And..?

"And.. blood.. Not from others! My own.."

Ah, so there WAS an angst-self-injury-pain thing..

"Yes.. I cut my hands sometimes.. Why do you think I wear my gloves so much?"

I never paid attention..

"I'll move on though. Let's see.. I like to draw, honestly."

Really?

"Indeed."

I would have never guessed it- Rock the Marduk's an artist!

"Thanks.."

You know, Hitler was an artist too, before he- errrr..!

"..."

Eh-heh.. um..

"Beaches."

What?

"I also like the beach."

Ok, so we have a few things you do like.. How about some you don't?

"That's easy- I hate cold baths, yarn, how popcicles leave your hand all sticky, when my sunglasses break, that one guy who beat me up right when I was about to kill Tima, Happy Noodle Boy, bad techno.. Heh- it's hard to think of things I actually like, rather than dislike!"

Um.. How about something not many people know about you?

"You expect me to just give a dire secret out to you to be shared with a nameless mass that may also come to hound me?"

...Yes.

"Well.. How's this for one- I'm a vampire."

No way!

"Nah, but I'm interested in becoming one.. So if any of you fan girls are reading this, and know a way to become one, please send it to:

Rock's little headquarters Somewhere in Zone One By That Old Guy Who Smells Like Cabbage Metropolis, 98008

And I would much appreciate it!"

But wait- why would you want immortality when you don't want to live without your father?

"Good question."

... Don't you plan on answering it?

"Mmyep- that's one good question."

I'll have to contact the author of this fanfic. Anyway, thank you for listening, and this is Sam Petrew signing off! Anything you want to say, Rock?

"I know you're out there, Legolas, and I'll be coming for you!"

Not gay, eh?

"No.. just maybe bi. Naahhh!"
