Interview with Matt (Subsapien)

Matt: 
*walks in, sits down in chair*

Cassidy:
Hi, Matt! *waves*

Matt:
*raises a hand* Hey.

Cassidy:
So, Tori wanted me to interview you this time, if you don’t mind.

Matt:
*gives you a thumbs up* Hit me with it.

Cassidy:
Okay. So, I just have a few questions for right now. First up: what is your favorite memory from when you were younger?

Matt:
Uh … I guess playing Pounce with my older brother, Bryce.

Cassidy:
Sounds cool. How did you play?

Matt:
Well, we pounced on each other when the other one wasn’t expecting it. If we caught the other one by surprise that would be a point. A game could last a week sometimes.

Cassidy:
Sweet. That’s awesome. Next question: What is something you want to do/experience?

Matt:
*smiles, looks up* Hmm …

Cassidy:
*crosses legs Indian-style in chair*

Matt:
I know this has to be lame, but go to a museum, I guess. *huffs a laugh*

Cassidy:
Lame? Nah, museums are epic. Might I ask what makes you want to go there, though?

Matt:
*tilts head downwards* I like art and junk like that.

Cassidy:
Sweet. I wish I knew more guys who were into that stuff.

Matt:
*smiles*

Cassidy:
Do you like to create art? If, so, what type?

Matt:
I like drawing and guitar if that’s art.

Cassidy:
I think it is. So you like music as well? Do you have a preferred type to listen to or play?

Matt:
*nods* I like music. I like rock stuff, I guess. I’m still getting the hang of genres.

Cassidy:
Have any favorite bands?

Matt:
I like this one called … Knight’s Lock.

Cassidy:
Neat. So, a slightly more somber topic …

Matt: 
*rests ankle on his knee, places a hand on his elevated knee*

Cassidy:
What did your day typically consist of in the labs?

Matt: 
*curls cheetah tail around himself, smile fades* A lot of tests.

What about your relationship with the others? Anyone you’re particularly close to?

Matt: 
I guess, I’m pretty close to Ingrid. We’ve been friends for a long time.

Cassidy:
Just friends? *conspiratory look*

Matt: 
*cheeks redden* Just friends.

Cassidy:
*raises an eyebrow* Mm-hm. Okay. *grins* Now you’ve also mentioned a few other before, I think.

Matt: 
Other friends?

Cassidy:
Yeah.

Matt: 
Well, the only other ones I’m really around are Brian, Ashlyn and Emil, but I don’t really consider them all my friends.

Cassidy:
Oh? Why not?

Matt: 
It’s complicated.

Cassidy:
Ah….care to elaborate?

Matt: 
*narrows eyes* Not really.

Matt: 
*shifts in his chair* It’s okay. Uh …

Emil: 
*peeks in through doorway* Are you guys done yet?

Cassidy:
*looks over at Emil* Hi! Not quite, but what did you need?

Emil: 
I’m hungry. We’re supposed to eat after Matt is done with the interview thingie.

Ashlyn: 
*is around seven and standing on Emil’s massive foot and gripping his jeans*

Cassidy:
Oh. Okay. *notices Ashlyn, waves* Hi, Ashlyn! *smiles*

Ashlyn:
*waves at Cassidy*

Matt: 
We’ll be done soon. Go wait in the other room.

Emil: 
*sighs big* Fine. Bye, Cass.

Cassidy:
See you guys later. *turns back to Matt*

Ashlyn:
*waves at Cassidy*

Emil: 
*walks away*

Cassidy:
So, you don’t like the labs. And this is the last question, I promise. How did you get there? Do you remember?

Matt:
 *crosses arms* Nope.

Cassidy:
Okay. Well, that’s all I’ve got. Thanks for letting me bother you with the questions. *smiles*

Matt:
*smiles back* No problem.

Cassidy:
*uncrosses legs and stands, walking to the door and peeking out into the hallway, calls out* Tori! We’re done with the interview!

Me: 
*steps in* Yeah?

Cassidy:
Just thought I’d let you know. Matt and the others were going to eat, so I thought I’d see if you wanted my help with anything.

Me: 
Nah, I’m good. *looks at laptop* Well, I hope you all enjoyed that interview. Thank you, Cassidy, for being our special interviewer this time.

Cassidy:
Sure! *grins* Hi, readers! *to Tori* Thanks for letting me. It was fun!

Me:
I hope you all enjoyed this interview with Matt. If you have any questions for him, Emil or Ashlyn, comment and they’ll be answered in the next interview. *smiles* You can check out more about Matt’s book in current projects, his book’s Pinterest board, pictures I’ve drawn for the book on deviantART and fan art on my Facebook page.
