::I had so much fun with interviewing Rock I decided to bug the other
characters. ^^; Warning: This is none too kind to Duke Red, so read with
caution. ::
*** Ahoy-hoy! Sam Petrew, reporting live and well in the Bahamas! Wouldn't you know it- my source (the author) has told me that the big ducky himself, Duck Red, is somewhere here in the archipelago's capital- Nassau. It's rather nice here, very scenic.. exept that these inhabitants! They just keep shoving trinkets and t-shirts in my face! And the smell of their grocery store- ugh! Er, anyway, I'm to search and find him. Mwa ha haa...
*** Koonichiwa! Ich, ni, san.. Ok, it's on.
"Wha..? WH-WHO ARE YOU?! HOW'D YOU GET HERE?!"
Calm down, calm down, I hopped over the fence.
"And the attack dogs?"
I gave them some of those giganto cockroaches that were crawling around.
"I fail to see how that would deflect a dog.."
Uh.. You're a duck.
"ExCUSE me??"
Nothing! What I meant was.. uh.. you're more a cockatoo, actually..
"I've heard enough- get out of my yard! Get off my property! Never let me see you again!"
Sorry, can't do that.
"And why not?!"
I'm a reporter.
"..Oh. Sorry about that. I got used to having privacy- you know how it is.."
I certainly do, being the one to take it away. And I enjoy it too! Anyway, let's move onto questions.
"*Sigh* I'm trying to keep a low profile right now- I don't need such publicity."
Uh.. if you do agree, I'll tell you a way you can revive Tima! Yeah!
"SOLD! What do you want to know?"
Why are you such a jerk to Rock?
"You mean 'why WAS I a jerk'."
Whatever.
"Try having a child.. your first, your only, your most valued thing in life- get used to that for ten years, and then have it ripped away. Several years later, you find another child- one who reminds you of your first, so you raise it. A few years pass.. and then you realize it's a HE. That was the point that made me look for an alternative to ressurect my daughter.."
That's it? Because he's a he?
"Basically, but it mounts up, you know.."
But that's it??
"Hey, Astroboy's first father rejected him because he didn't GROW."
But still- how could you not notice??
"You expect me to look?!"
Well, some fanfic authors think you may have..
"MY GOD, THAT'S DISGUSTING!"
Ha ha ha- you don't have a gun to point at me!
"..I'll.. ignore that comment and spare myself the confusion."
So, Dukey, how did you get a name like Duke Red?
"Don't call me 'Dukey'!"
Make me!
"*Sigh* Anyway.. it comes from the manga Metropolis.. My name is just Red (I think) but I was the head of the Red Party, so I was given the title Duke.. or at least, that's this author's interpretation of it."
But couldn't you just switch it around to Red Duke? I mean, it makes more sense..
"You and many others have said that."
Well, why don't you change it then?
"That too."
Hey, you're just avoiding the question!
"Mmyep.. maaaany people."
*Sigh* Let's move on then. What are things you like?
"Things I like..? Ahh, I haven't thought on that for a long time.. Well, except for Tima."
...That didn't sound right...
"Shut up! You know what I mean!"
You mean what you mean, or what you MEAN mean?
"You're just trying to twist my words to use them to your bizarre ways and make me look like a pedophile!"
Hey, I'm a reporter. It's instincts. But let's go back to the question.
"I hate you."
Comes with the job.
"*Sighs yet again* Well.. Fruits. Yes, I like those.. and (hee hee) sunflower seeds. Pumpkin seeds too, actually. And birds. Yeah.. like those cockatiels, you know? With their little creasts, and how they go FWOOP up! And the way they peck at things.. they're just so cute!"
You sound like quite the avian, Dukey. *Snicker*
"And how they flap about like fwip fwip fwip fwip fwip.."
Yes. I'm certain the people will love the sight of you playing pretend in text.
"And- ..I really hate you."
One last question.
"Thank god."
What is with your nose??
"My god, man, have you no decency?!"
I said I'm a re-por-ter!
"Sorry- forgot there."
But seriously- that nose! It's huge!
"No it isn't!"
Yes it is! It's considered a landmark in Metropolis Tours!
"You're making many an enemy with my fans.. I'm warning you.."
NASA just called- they saw your nose from space..
"I really, REALLY hate you."
More than Rock?
"Not that much."
Do you plan on meeting him again sometime soon?
"Hopefully never."
Yeesh.. some father.
"My nose isn't THAT horrendous that it interferes with my parenting!"
I didn't say anything about your nose!
"Well I did!"
You need a therapist. That and a nose job.
"..You better leave, as in RIGHT NOW.."
Or else what?
"I'll sick Astroboy on you!"
...uh... o..kayy.. riiiiight..
"Yeah, you'd BETTER leave! Come back and I'll stab you to death with this 'ridiculous' nose of mine!"
And that's that, folks..
_______ Author: And I apologize to you Duke Red fans.. I just couldn't help myself. And besides- he's so mean to Rock!
