The Interview: Continued
Gasi soshite aisatsu from your friend Sasori Katana. (Takusan Kangae: and me, Sasori's faithful muse!) Yeah, him too. Anyway, yesterday I promised an interview with Takusan, and since he finally decided to help me finish the script, things are going well. But first, a personal note:
I had the Mother of All Headaches today, so I had to stay home and sleep. I didn't wake up until 5:30. Not fun. Trust me, Extra Strength Tylenol really takes a lot out of you. (Takusan: She'll never be able to sleep tonight.) Shut up, this is my blog. (Takusan: See? Now she's cranky
about it.) Hey, do you want this interview or not?! (Takusan: Sumimasen, Sasori.) That's better. Now, then.
SAS: So, Takusan Kangae, can you tell us what your name means in English?
TAK: Sure. It means "Many Ideas."
SAS: I see. Where did you get a name like "Many Ideas"?
TAK: You gave it to me.
SAS: Oh...so I did. Yeah. Well, you do come up with a lot of ideas.
TAK: That's my job.
SAS: Tell us about your job.
TAK: I'm your muse.
SAS: *Sigh* Can you, you know, elaborate a little?
TAK: Oh! Yes, of course. I am Sasori Katana's faithful muse, the
mythical being that brings inspiration to her her while she sleeps
so that she has plenty of ideas for her book when she wakes up.
SAS: Exactly. I'm a writer, so I need a good, dependable muse. Well, I'd
LIKE a good, dependable muse, but they charge too much, so I ended
up with Takusan.
TAK: Right. Hey! That's not very nice- Wait, other muses charge for this?
SAS: Next question! So, Takusan, I know I told you I'd look into it, and
I did, but unfortunately this interview isn't going to be televised.
TAK: Really? Aww, man...
SAS: Yes, I know, it's such a shame. But these things happen. That's why
I thought that perhaps our readers might be interested in a brief
description of yourself.
TAK: A description? Okay...Well, I think I'm about 6'6". I haven't really
checked recently. Hey, Sasori, why am I so tall again?
SAS: Well, according to legend, muses provide inspiration by whispering
ideas into a person's ear while they sleep.
TAK: So?
SAS: I used to have a bunk bed.
TAK: Oh! Right, I forgot about that. Well, anyway, I bear a striking
resemblence to Sasori's old imaginary friend Pete, probably because
she has so little creativity on her own that she has to reuse
figments of her imagination.
SAS: Takusan!!!
TAK: Sumimasen! Yeesh...so anyway, I'm blonde with brown eyes and I wear
a lot of black to prevent stains from showing, because my job
involves trekking around the countryside in search of fresh ideas.
SAS: Thank you, Mr. Kangae, but I'm afraid we've once again run out of
time for today.
Well, it's been fun, but the Tylenol's kicking in again and I have to go back to bed. (Takusan: Don't let her tell you that, she's just lazy.) Takusan! (Takusan: I know, I know! "Shut up, this is my blog!" I got it!)
Sumimasen, folks. Anyway, we'll see you tomorrow with yet another exciting installment of Sasori Katana's exclusive interview with Takusan Kangae!
Aikou kara Sasori!
