"So how do you have connections at this place?" Vince asked while walking down the street with Nathan who had stuck yellow stickers promoting his website to anything that did and didn't move.
"Trashbat dot cock yeah?" He announced after slapping another sticker to a woman's handbag "I know the Preacher man, yeah. Dan Ashcroft?"
"Yeah, he's the guy that wrote that article, Rise of the Idiots?"
"The very same man. Dude's a legend." He grinned while attaching another sticker to the coat of an eight-year old boy "Trashbat dot cock. Check it out when you're older, yeah?" He received an awful glare from the child's mother but didn't notice "So you got an interview or somethin?"
"Yeah."
"About what then? Trashbat dot cock yeah? Party tomorrow, be there. Peace and fuckin!" He called to another passer-by while attacking them with a sticker and a leaflet.
"They wanna have a chat about the latest fashions I've got goin' on."
"Oh yeah, what you got in mind for them then?"
"The mirror ball suit."

Nathan pushed the silver button underneath the name of the magazine, seconds later came a voice.
"Sugar Ape, who's that?"
"Alright mate, it's Nathan Barley 'ere with ma main man Vince Noir."
"Barley! Barley! Barley!" The voice chanted followed by a buzz of the door.
"Here we go, told you I had connections." Nathan lead the way up the stairs into an office that was heavily decorated in posters and spray paint, gadgets littered the place amongst the few desks of computers. A pinball machine was even set up in the corner "Alright lads, Barley is present!" He announced when they reached the top of the stairs.
"Hey Barley man, what's this new video about on your website yeah?" One of the guys asked, he was sat at a computer staring at the screen, Nathan wandered over and pulled up a chair helping himself while Vince stayed at the front desk.
"Can I help you?" A woman asked looking up at Vince who looked lost but excited.
"Yeah, I'm Vince Noir. Here for an interview."
"Okay, take a seat and I'll buzz Jonatton Yeah?"
"Alright cheers…" He looked around and saw no available seats instead Nathan beckoned him over to the computer he was sat at.
"Check this out right, you too Vince. This is known as Kegging, right. Watch this, it's totally fucking Mexico!" Vince watched the video and erupted into laughter along with the employees and Nathan.
"Mister Noir?" The woman called "Vince!" She tried again this time getting his attention "Mr Yeah? Will see you now."
"Alright cheers." He left the boys at the computer and headed toward Jonatton's office, he knocked once and waited.
"Come in." Came a voice "Are you up for this job?" the voice continued to another person who was in the room "Ah come in Vince, take a seat. I'll only be a minute." He smiled and turned back to the man sat in front of his desk "Well?"
"Yes." The man mumbled.
"Hmm?"
"Yes." He said louder with a sigh and a hint of desperation in his voice.
"Great well the exhibition will be tomorrow. I expect a full on interview with the artist and a complete article by the end of the week. This is going to be front cover news, Dan. Don't fuck it up."
"Right."
"Cos if you do I won't pay you." He spoke in a childlike voice to the man who just rolled his eyes and starred off into a corner of the room "Right, are we clear then?"
"Yeah."
"Good, bye then. Hello there Vince."
"Alright?" Vince grinned at both the man who got up and the editor.
"Oh Dan hang on, take a seat again. This is Vince Noir, here for an interview about fashion for this week's magazine. I want you to interview him."
"Ok yep." He replied sitting back down and starring at the floor.
"Vince Noir meet Dan Ashcroft, one of our top writers."
"Alright?" Vince flashed his famous grin again but got half a smile in return.
"Go on then, get on with the interview!"
"Right ok, this way then." Dan got up and left with Vince following behind him.
"So where we gonna do this?" Vince asked trying to make conversation on the way back to the main office.
"My computer." Was the short and unenthusiastic reply. When they entered the office Vince noticed Dan sighed heavily when he caught sight of Nathan sat by a computer with a couple of the other writers "Take a seat." He mumbled when they reached his desk, Vince pulled across a chair and sat patiently "So…Fashion, right?"
"Yeah."
"So…"
"So…What do you want me to talk about?"
"Well let's start with your latest style." Dan waved a hand at Vince's outfit then scanned it properly "What is that?" He asked uncertainly.
"Ah this is genius right, this is the mirrorball suit, yeah? This my friend, is a break through on the sewing machine!" He motioned at the shinny full piece jumpsuit he had on "Check out the white platform boots, perfect for height, they match and don't stand out."
"Right?"
"Hood for when it rains or for when you're having a bad hair day, I don't use that often, don't really need it."
"You never go out when it rains?"
"No…I never get bad hair days."
"Oh."
"And the coat, this is a top designer label from Top Shop. Genius shop right, I model for them in my spare time." He nodded and crossed one leg over the other.
"Okay…" Dan muttered while making notes on a pad "And what inspires you?"
"Myself."
"Pardon?"
"Myself." Vince nodded and smiled then ruffled up his hair at the back a little.
"Hair."
"It's lookin' good ain't it?"
"Yes…How do you style it."
"Have a shower in the morning, first thing. Comb it straight, blow dry it, straighten it a little. Nicky Clark's, hottest you can get. Trim any split ends, apply some Rootboost, maybe Goth Juice if I'm goin' for a heightened style and I occasionally apply Naboo's Miracle Wax."
"Uhm…Okay?"
"What else do you need? Photos? I can get you photos, or I can pose for you. Whatever you need."
"Right…Well, I think I have all I need. Thanks. I'll give you a call if I need anything else."
"Alright, cheers."
"Yeah, thanks."
"I'll see ya later then, yeah?" He grinned while standing and pushing the chair back into it's place.
"We all done here?" Nathan asked noticing Vince had stood up "Preacher man! How's it hangin?" He called to Dan also noticing he was sat at his desk.
"Yeah, good thanks." Dan starred at his computer screen and typed away trying his best to ignore Nathan.
"You comin' to my Trashbat party? Tomorrow yeah, everyone loved you in your Preacher gear last time! It was well stompin!"
"Yeah…Maybe."
"Get Jones to play yeah? I'll be busy, can't be the DJ all night."
"Yeah…I'll tell him."
"Give him my number yeah?" Nathan pulled out his mobile phone and selected one of the options "Here's my card." He printed a business card and handed it over to Dan "Cheers man, you're a star. Hey what's this? Vince's interview? Let's have a read then!" He leaned over Dan to read the screen "Pretty good stuff man." He nodded and stood back up straight.
"Yeah, thanks."
"I'd add this in though, yeah?" He pulled out Dan's chair with him still sat in it and sat down on his lap, he tapped away at the keyboard then began hammering at the keys "Hey Dan, I reckon you're PC is fucked up right?"
"What have you done?" He asked pushing Nathan to the floor, he stood up quickly and pulled out his phone again.
"Chill man, I got connections." He dialled a number and waited "Roy! You alright my IT geek? How's it hangin down at Reynholm Industries? Good yeah, alright. How's Denholm doin? Oh he's dead, oh right yeah I remember now." Vince watched Nathan with a slight smile on his face then turned to Dan who was starring back at his computer trying his best to un-freeze the screen.
"You look like my mate Howard." He nodded at Dan who looked at him with a look of desperation.
"You in work today? No, good. I got a job for ya mate. What was that?" He paused "Hang on I'll ask." He cupped a hand over his phone and looked at Dan "He said have you tried turning it off and on again?"
