MJ Interviews The Creature

Welcome to Kyrosmagica!

Creature, you are some scary dude to look at but I mustn’t let that stop me from interviewing you.

So, pull up a chair, make your skeleton comfortable….

MJ: Tell me about yourself.

The Creature: There isn’t much to tell. I don’t get out much, most of the time I’m waiting.

MJ: Waiting for what?

The Creature: For something to happen or for someone to summon me.

MJ: So you’re catatonic until someone brings you to life in a painting?

The Creature: That’s pretty much it, most of the time I’m mingling with the worms, the bugs are feasting on me,  and I’m dreaming about my dreds.

MJ: Your dreds?

The Creature: When I was alive I had dreadlocks, now I’m just skin and bone. I miss my dreadlocks.

MJ: Hah! Scary dreadlock dude tell us about the cottage.

The Creature: It’s my home, sort of. It’s not a public venue, you have to be invited to visit.

MJ: Why’s that?

The Creature: The Crystal cottage is a magical, powerful place. Magical places have to be protected. Crystal Magic can be dangerous if it is used by the wrong people.

MJ: So you protect it?

The Creature: Yes and no… I am a junior caretaker of sorts… There’s a hierarchy of protection. I can’t tell you too much about the cottage,  you have to read the book to find out more.

MJ: That’s fair enough. Do you live alone?

The Creature: I live with a bunch of doves and a wacky lady who shares caretaking duty with me.

MJ: Just you two?

The Creature: No, there are other beings that protect the cottage, personages, legends and the like, but I hardly ever see them.

MJ: Sounds intriguing.

The Creature: That crazy author thinks so…

MJ: That’s me! Lol..

The Creature: Stop your procrastinating, author lady. When are you going to stop twiddling your hair and write book two?

MJ: Cheeky. It takes time to write if you are working full-time.

The Creature: You work full-time?

MJ: Yeah, I do now. I’m a receptionist, a meet and greet lady. I sit next to this security guy all day. The first thing I noticed about him is his distinctive tattoos on each hand. But, I better not go into detail in case someone accuses me of gossiping…

The Creature: Heaven forbid! Sigh… No one would know if I had a tattoo.

MJ: No, not by looking at you. Those bones don’t give much away. Did you ever have a tattoo?

The Creature: No. Never. Just me and my dreds. I bet you don’t have guys like me in your building.

MJ: No, but we do get some strange dudes. There’s this guy that looks like a vampire!

The Creature:  What, black hair, cape, white skin, sharp teeth?

MJ: Yep, I reckon he packs his cape in his briefcase… Me and the security guy were talking about Transalvania and I jest not – the vampire dude walked in.

The Creature: Wow, no one would believe that!  Talk about never a dull moment. I’m jealous. I’ll have to tell the worms about this…

MJ: Feel free to share. I suppose I better wrap up this interview, your worms are getting excitable and restless.

The Creature: AWWW, I was just warming up. My old decaying bones, bugs and worms take ages to warm up these days.

The Creature gets up, bends his knee joints,  and scatters a family of worms at my feet. He sighs.

MJ: Ugh, keep your worms to yourself! Until the next time, dear Creature.

The Creature tries to grin but a few of his rotten teeth land on my lap.

I pick off the yucky teeth and wince.

MJ: I don’t mean to be rude but it’s time you went!

The Creature: Yeah,  time to get back to scaring people. Being nice and polite is such hard work. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

MJ: Bye, Creature, say hello to the doves for me.

 

Hope you enjoyed my interview with the Creature.
