EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!
We roll up our sleeves and get frank answers from the characters of Night Will Fall!
REIKO KANASHIMI
She answers your questions!
Q: How long did it take your long hair to grow? (It's so pretty. :D )
A: "So I'm doing this Q&A thing, too... My hair grows moderately fast, and I only got it cut a few times, so I guess it took me most of my life to grow my hair so long."
Q: When did you start playing the piano and using the Hands of God duel pistols?
A: "I started learning the piano at a very young age, I think around 4. Sebastian taught me how to use the Hands of God when I was 12."
Q: What kind of men do you like?
A: "Someone I can trust. A kind man."
Q: Are you a juvenile delinquent?
A: "Sebastian did call me that once, as a joke, but I just prefer to get things done my way...even if others think it's wrong..."
Q: Why didn't you kill Kaname when you had the chance?
A: "...Oh, the Night Class is coming out. Sorry, some other time. Bye." *SLAM*
SEBASTIAN KURAIKEJI
Questions for the handsome vampire teacher!
Q: So why a literature teacher...?
A: "Good day, everyone. *smiles* I decided to teach literature because it's a simple and pleasant subject. I enjoy Shakespeare in particular."
Q: Why do you care so much about Reiko? We all know that she's not just a student to you.
A: "Reiko is, yes, more than just a student to me, more than some child that I need to look after. To me, she is like my own daughter, no matter how conceited that may sound..."
Q: You're so polite... (:D)
A: "Hahaha...yes, it's a habit. Forgive me. (^_^)"
Q: Why were you in love with Reiko's mom?
A: "Reiko's mother was beautiful, and she had a heart that could draw anyone in; she was kind. She could be stubborn too...as you can see in Reiko."
Q: Who the heck are you? Sorry if I seem rude... but really, it's killing me. Who are you really?
A: "Well, I'm...hm? Oh? Ah I see... I'm sorry, but the author will not allow me to say anything at this point. Sorry. *smiles* I suppose that's all of my questions. It was a pleasure. Thank you."
YUKI CROSS
Disciplinary Committee, tell us...!
Q: How do you feel now that there's a third Disciplinary Committeee member?
A: "Like now there's been a weight lifted off my back! (Though some of it's still there...) Hopefully I can get more sleep, and I won't have to worry too much about Zero slacking off! ...It...It was a joke...so don't glare at me Zero!"
Q: What kind of parfait do you like?
A: "Usually I get vanilla with whipped cream, peanuts and fruit, chocolate biscuit sticks, fudge sauce, and a cherry on top. But I do like the strawberry parfait too..."
Q: Do you think there's something inhuman about Reiko and Sebastian?
A: "Well, Reiko-senpai does seem to be more than normal...and Kuraikeji-sensei just seems...so sad sometimes. I wonder why..."
Q: What's the hardest part of being on the Disciplinary Committee?
A: "Other than getting very little sleep and having to deal with the Day Class and slacker Zero...well, actually I guess it's all pretty hard. But I don't really mind! Yuki Cross is ready for duty! Oh! Speaking of which – gotta go! Bye!"
ZERO KIRYU
Be brave! Let's ask Kiryu some questions!
Q: So why don't you ever wear your uniform properly?
A: "Why am I doing this... I don't wear it buttoned up all the way because then I feel cramped, and there are too many buttons on the jacket. And this question better not be from the Headmaster!"
Q: Do you like Reiko?
A: "She makes me suspicious, but as long as we stay out of each other's way, we're on...better terms."
Q: Why do you start undressing in front of Yuki?
A: "...You know what? I think I'm going to go with Reiko and Yuki and get those Day Class girls back to their dorm. See ya." *SLAM*
KANAME KURAN
Even the head of the Night Class cooperated!
Q: Are you intimidated at all by Reiko?
A: "Hello everyone. I'm not necessarily intimidated by her, but I do admire her boldness."
Q: You said that you missed hearing the songs she played. Why?
A: "The lullabies are soothing, and they are a pleasure to hear when I'm tired or not in the best of moods. *smiles*"
Q: Is it true that you watch what Kain does because he has a macho body and you want one too?
A: "I have no idea what you're talking about, or where on earth you could have gotten such an idea. *glances at Ichijo* Oh, my session is over? Well, it was a pleasure. *smiles* Goodbye then."
And finally, MARIE [surname withheld]!
The author tells you all (almost)!
Q: How did you start out writing "Night Will Fall"?
A: "Hi everyone! I started out by planning the character, and then the plot. The two came together pretty easily, although I did make some changes to the plot along the way. I planned to only have 1 character, but realized that the story required more. I thought about having 3, but settled on 2 since that would complicate things."
Q: Do you listen to music while writing?
A: "Yep! I listen to video game and anime OSTs, Kanon Wakeshima, piano, J-pop, Christian music, instrumental, and on occasion, K-pop!"
Q: Which character are you most like?
A: "Take Reiko's height and dark hair and eyes, a pinch of Zero's seriousness and focus, about a quart of Yuki's kindness, a touch of Sebastian's manners, a dash of Kaien's bold goofiness, two spoonfuls of Aido's loyalty and three of Kain's secret passion, and a cup and a half of Kaname's caring. Mix in a batch of Ichijo's enthusiasm, a dollop of Shiki's easygoing manner with some of Rima's coolness, and a cup of Seiren's quiet watchfulness. Put in the oven, which should be preheated at 350 degrees F, and cook for about half an hour. When done the result is me (served with a sesame salad and baked scallops topped with parmesan cheese). Dessert is Yuki's parfait special. (^_^)"
Q: How many stories do you plan on publishing? And how many chapters do you think will be in "Night Will Fall"?
A: "I have 3 stories out: this one, a Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)/Vampire Knight crossover (please check it out!), and a Rurouni Kenshin story. As for the chapters...maybe 30?"
Q: So what's ahead for the story?
A: "Expect further secrets revealed, unexpected shocks, and better writing (?). Expect an unfolding web of tragedy, grief, love, and passionate hate. Expect a lot... But until then, look forward to it, and Merry Christmas!"
