"Hello, I'm Jane Porter and I'll be interviewing you today."
"*takes offered hand and shakes it*"
"Okay, so let's start off with the basics.
What's your name and gender?"
"*clears throat and begins in an accent somewhere between
scottish and welsh* Well, me name is Knave, but do you really
need to ask what me bloody gender is?! I'm male thank you
very much! *rolls eyes*"
"Okay, so let's get to the real reason you're here and
begin the interview."
"Eye, let's get to it then. *impatiently tapping his claws*"
Naive wrote:"I'm applying for the job as a soundman, eh I mean *waves hands trying to find the word* the Audio Engineer."
"Okay *writes on clipboard* and why do you want this position?"
"Other then money?"
"Yes, other then money."
"Well, I'd have to say the main reason would be me love for music. I love the way music can change your emotions, and make ya' laugh, and cry, and dance. Oh! I'm also absolute rubbish at singing or playing an instrument me'self, but I still want to be able to have an effect on music."
"Okay, on to the next question"
Naive wrote:"Well, for one thing I absolutely love music!"
"You already pointed that out, but it is good to know that you really care about this position."
"I did?..Well, I'm rather good with computers and such if I do say so me'self!"
"That's very good! Anything else?"
"I knew it! *smiles smugly* Anything else then? I can speak multiple languages, which I suppose could be of help when dealing with people from other countries."
"Really?! Which languages specifically?"
"Lemme, see...I can speak English, French, and Swedish fluently, and I'm good a basic conversation in French, German, Spanish, and Turkish."
"*Blinks* Wow, that is quiet a range you have. Okay, on to the next question"
Naive wrote:"*chuckles* Alright, if that's what ye' want. Let's see, the five words I would use to describe me'self are
Unbelieving, Snarky, Different, Confident, Thankful"
"Alright, er...Knave, why would you choose these words?"
"I guess because I feel like they're true, even the crummy ones."
"What do you mean by crummy ones?"
"I mean, not many people like to deal with someone who will give them an attitude for weeks before they get to really know them. Other then that, I'm obviously different, but I know who I am and I've accepted me'self and when someone else excepts me..it' just feels, good."
"*Smiles* I understand, it's not always easy to see the world differently. Okay, on to the next question"
Naive wrote:"*Sighs* Me favorite memory? Well that would have to be when me mother and I went to me first concert."
"Really? Why is that?"
"Well, because it's when she told me that I could be whoever I wanted, that I didn't have to look like anybody else or be like the crowd to happy."
"That's wonderful! Is that why it's your favorite memory?"
"Yeah, it is, mostly."
"Mostly?"
"Well, it's also the first time I ever thought about having a career in music, even though I was different."
"We all have that one amazing moment don't we? Okay, on to the next and final question"
Naive wrote:"*Gasps slightly* Ten years?! Huh, I never really thought about what me life would be like that far in the future."
"Well, what do you hope it will be like?"
"Hmm, well I would want to have a good job, hopefully in the music industry. "
"Of course! Anything else"
"*Flushes* Well...maybe I'd like to have a mate, or at least a girlfriend"
"Really? That's not what many people would expect you to say I'm sure."
"*Fidgets* W-why not? Just B-be-because I'm different means I can't want a family?"
"I really don't know, I guess we really all want the same thing, or something similar at least."
"Yeah, I guess you're righ.t"
"*Stands and shakes his hand* Thank you very much for your time Knave, it was wonderful to get to know you and we will contact you as soon as possible."
"*Smiles slightly* It was nice, wasn't it. Have a nice day."
"Please welcome Violet & Ivy!" The lights are on when we walk onto the stage. I'm smiling brightly at our dearest host who grins in a rather friendly manner as well back at us. The reason for this whole interview smirks beside me and then takes a seat in one of the comfy cushioned chairs that are provided. With a chuckle, I follow her lead, pushing ink black bangs out of my face. Part of me wishes I would've let those make-up artists do a bit more than what they did, but in all truth I wasn't comfortable with that. "Hello Violet! Or should I say Ivy?" Our live audience laughs and even the furball beside me chuckles a bit. "Either or is fine. I'm honestly not picky about whichever." Our good host smiles and I relax against the cushions. Show time.
Maybe it's a good thing that, Vi's not that into crowds. She's nervous but she's willing to not let them know. Of course I can see it however but that's besides the point. I'm a professional in show business anyways. The lights, the camera, the sta- Oh look Tommy's talking! I thankfully had mind enough to listen. Somewhat. "What's this? You wantin' my fame, Tommy?" The audience laughs and I smirk playfully. Our good host, chuckles himself. "Why my dear, no one could be quite as famous at you." I tilt my head from side to side and grin and the crowd eats it up. I can tell Violet's impressed. Good. She should be. "But some of our viewers don't know who you are. Would you mind stating your name?" I smirk and gaze right at the camera, blowing my bangs out from my eyes. "I'm Lenvia. Lenvia Heart. Pleasure to meet ya, Lovelies." Eat yer heart out, babe, this one's for the books.
I'm watching Lenvia out of the corner of my eyes discreetly. She seems to be at ease here, but then again of course she is. The dream girl everyone's missed so dearly has come back home to them. In retrospect, I should be happy about that, but well...I think it'll be sad to go home without her. It's odd that I'm so used to her being around that I hardly mind if she does go back with us. The gang enjoys her singing and despite herself, Nimura likes her well enough too. It takes me a moment to realize I've blanked out but thankfully no one else notices. Everyone's eyes are on Lenvia as our gracious host asks us -her- another question. "Now then there are some who want to know your true gender Lenvia. You apparently have many fangirls who'd like to know." That's right. That scary mob of girls that go ballistic at her very name. Lenvia smirks at the camera again. "Aw ladies I'm touched," she purrs and her words are thick like honey and she bats her eyelashes playfully. The crowd eats it up. "Aw ya lovelies, I'm afraid lots of ya will be disappointed. Or maybe some of ya might be a bit happier. I am in fact, God-help me, a female." Laughter was warm in the room, Lenvia was a riot. The crowd adored her.
It's funny truly how things are ain't it? Becore I know it Tommy's gettin' serious as now and joking aside I gotta brace myself here. "Well now, Miss Heart, we got a few questions here from some of your fans so I'll try to make this brief." The crowd quiets and I gaze at Tom fully. He's nearly 50 now. 50 years old in show business. In the limelight. The same one I'm in. Could I spend 50 years in the spotlight? I doubt it, even now as a professional rock star and lead singer of LoveLess, I'm not. It's tirin' I guess. Best way to describe it. Tommy's words bust into my head however so I stop contemplatin' and pay attention. "Where did you go to when you left briefly?" Ain't that the million dollar question. I hum quietly before answering, noticing Vi's gazin at me. "Well now, I went many places before I got to where I am right now." That much is the truth. "Had to go on a private trip to Australia with my band mates. Wasn't personal, lovelies, but we needed to get away for a bit." There's murmurs of understanding all around and I relax. Vi glances at me, knowing full well it was the biggest lie I could've told on television, but I couldn't just tell em I'd been wondering the streets. Someone could make a cover for me anyways. The boys know how I feel about it all, heck they'd helped me make it up. I ignored the look in favor of Tommy who was working up to the next question.
"What is LoveLess?" I watched as Lenvia grinned softly, her rosy eyes gleaming. It was easy to see how she belonged here. "Ah LoveLess, to all my lovelies out there, it's a band but it's also a home." I perk up at that and watch her curiously. " What I mean bby that is, Loveless is two parts, dearies. It's a band as well as a charity. We collect money and well we give it to shelters. Orphanages, Homeless shelters, food shelters, any shelter you can think of. There's a look in Lenvia's eyes, a look of pure excitement. Pure happiness in that one moment as she's explaining. "Many of ya already know about me, but for those of ya who don't here's the reason for it all. The crowd is quiet, watching her attentively and so am I. When I was born, I didn't have no mother. I was an orphan and growing up was hard for me. My father wasn't there. I had to learn on me own...but then I was adopted. My new family consisted of two men who, for obvious reasons couldn't have a child of their own. They adopted me however. But as I grew up I realized not everybody's as privileged as me." There's a faraway look in her eyes and it's then that you see her vulnerable side, the side the world loves to find hidden under her bravado. I'm amazed by it myself. "So you see lovelies, LoveLess is a band and a charity with me and my boys." The crowd cheers and applause breaks out as if Lenvia just finished a hit song. And there's an elation that looks as if she just did.
It's hard to say why my heart is beating so fast after that. I'm not gettin' stage fright am I? No...I realize it's not stage fright at all that's making my heart beat faster. Nah. It's what I was talking about. My two fathers. Philp and Tony. Two complete opposite men who despite everything came together and adopted me. Thinking on it makes me realize how much I've missed 'em. They know what I'm doing is for a good cause, but I wish they'd make me stay home at least once. It's lonely on the road alone. Maybe that's why I like Violet's place. It ain't so bad there. Sure it could use a bit o' sprucin' but it's real nice and everything there. And the JBDs...I like em too. Especially that Nim, heh, she's a firecracker alright. I perk up the minute I hear Tommy's voice again speakin'. Ugh. Does he ever quiet down? "How did you meet Miss Violet?" It's probably a good thing I didn't have anything to drink or else I'd be spit taking right now. Thankfully I have a cool facade on anyhow so it don't matter much. Violet looks at me and raises an eyebrow. Her look says it all. 'Now what genius?' I sigh silently and then grin. "Well now how I met Vi then? Well to be honest it was a simple run in with the gal." Violet huffs. "More like a simple disaster, Tom. I was working late and well Miss Heart here showed up in my job looking for an espresso." Ah so she finally wants to talk then eh? Well I'll bite. "Sure was. Unfortunately there was no more espressos until tomorrow fer me so I told her I'd come back then." Violet smirks and I see her relaxing. Good. No need to be so uptight. "It wasn't hard for u to hit it off after a bit of talking and then well before I know it we were friends." I wonder what would've happened if not for my need for an double chocolate espresso. I probably wouldn't be as happy as I am. That's why I can't lose this.
I gaze at Lenvia silently, a small smirk on my lips. She remembered that day? For some reason the idea makes me happy despite it being only a one time occurrence. But then...then it had happened hadn't it? And yes, sure, Lenvia didn't tell me she was a rockstar and I had to find out on my own. "When do you plan on releasing the new album?" I always said I didn't listen to rock. Now I find myself curious about her next album as well. I might as well. She's a good singer after all and she's pretty talented. I can see why others fall under her spell with a voice like that. "Eh hopefully soon, Lovelies. We're working hard to get it all done by this Fall so things should be pretty interesting." Tommy smiles. "Mind if we play a demo of "Ghost Town"?" Lenvia smiles candidly at him and then glances at the crowd. "What do you all think?" A roar of cheering reaches our ears and I smile softly. "Your fans have spoken." Her flashing grin is all the sign I need before the music begins to play. And my how it played.
I see it in my heart,
I see it in your eyes,
The darkness warns
me but I can't hide.
I cried a thousand tears.
Lived for a thousand years
But now your light is the thing that helps me survive.
This Ghost Town
Burn it to the ground.
Dancin' late at night
In the firelight.
This Ghost Town, Burn it to the ground.
Dancin till the sky, burns in twilight.'
The song was beautifully written, and everyone was cheering about it even me. Lenvia however was calmer and cooler than a cucumber, though she looked pensive as if she knew there was a flaw in her song and only just realized it. The look quickly passed however and I thought I'd imagined it. As the song ended the crowd began to calm themselves and the Tom spoke to Lenvia about how good it was and such the two talking on while I zoned for a moment, lost in my thoughts. 'I couldn't have imagined that,' I thought, but then again I couldn't be sure here. No one ever could.
After that beautiful demo if I do say so myself, which I actually ain't sayin so because I don't like the sound quality in here, I'm goin' back an forth with Tom here and well he's tellin' me the last biggest question one of my fans has had. "When are you going on tour?" Also the second worst question of my life. The question was startling because well what do you do when on tour? You work, work and work that's what. You go see millions of fans from all of the world....but never get to see the ones you want to see. I can't tell if it's just me or if it's gone far too quite for me likin', but I don't care too badly. I glance at Violet and she's faced away from me, but I know she's listening, ready to let me go back to this. But do I really want this back? The luxury, the money, the life anyone would kill for? The answer revealin' itself when I see Violet bite her lip. Oh no. No, no, no, no ,no. Nu-huh. I see her shudder a little and know she on the brink of crying, but her face is turned away and her eyes covered with by her bangs and then it reminds me of back home when we were chilling on the couch just all playing video games and the time we went to the park and I got to stretch my legs in a race against Nimura and then that one time when I fell and busted up my knees and- oh dangit! I feel furious with myself for not realizing this sooner I guess, but heck I'd miss those dweebs if I went and let em go. And....I don't want to do that again. So I do the only sensible thing I can. "Nope." There's gasps from the audience and a few cries out disbelief but I hardly need to worry about that. "I know you guys are looking forward to me meeting ya all over, but let's be honest here people. I couldn't leave Miss Violet like that. What kind of friend would that make me?" I thought Vi'd get whiplash from how quickly she looked up at me and I smiled softly back. "She's part of the fam now." I say but I focus on Vi for a moment before turning to the camera and I swear I can see the gang there watching me and nah it ain't hard picturin' myself there with em. Happy as can be. "I can't just leave my family." I think back to my two fathers and smile quietly. It's about time that I gave em a call. "Maybe in a few years I'll tour, but not without em." And the audience is quiet and the spotlight is skewed, and Tom's sitting with his mouth hanging open. But when Violet comes over and wraps her arms around my shoulders and hugs me, I know that for once that was the best thing I said all night.
