Interview with Sting (Subsapien Grafting)

Sting:

*is sitting in a chair in front her, crosses arms* You’re late. *frowns*

Lyssa: 

Yeah, I know. I’m sorry. *smiles nervously* So let’s go ahead and get started since we are a little behind. First question: Where were you born?

Sting:

*plucks spikes out of his scalp, picks his teeth with it* Lab. *spits out something he found on the floor*

Lyssa:

*looks down at where he spit, shifts foot away from spot* Wow, a lab? What kind of lab?

Sting:

Rota lab, sister. *pats her knee, snickers*

Lyssa:

*shifts knee away, clears throat* I bet your childhood has been a little different than mine then. What are some memories from your childhood you’d like to share?

Sting:

None, but I’ll share one for this stupid interview anyway. *twists spike in between his fingers* I had a big green rubber ball I’d like to play with in my cell. *chews on one of his black nails*

Lyssa:

Your cell? Wow, you live in a cell?

Sting:

Not right now. But I did. What’s the big deal? *picks teeth again*

Lyssa:

Uh, nothing. It’s just … different. *pulls legs up to sit cross-legged* So do you have any other things you like other than your ball?

Sting:

*looks up at in thought* My book and honey.

Lyssa:

Cool. *smiles* What’s the book called?

Sting: 

Mother Goose’s Nursery Rhymes, I think. *shrugs, makes gums bleed with spike accidentally, licks tooth*

Lyssa:

Cool. From when you were a kid, I guess?

Sting:

*dead serious* No.

Lyssa:

*smile fades, blinks* Oh, uh, well so you just got it?

Sting:

*narrows eyes* No.

Lyssa:

*clears throat, shifts awkwardly* Okay, let’s just talk about something else. So what kind of honey do you like best?

Sting:

Tupelo.

Lyssa:

Wow. I don’t know I’ve ever heard of that.

Sting:

It’s extra sweet.

Lyssa:

Aw, so you have a sweet tooth, huh?

Sting:

I guess.

Lyssa:

Cool, me too. *looks down at the list of questions* Oh. *looks back at Sting* How old are you?

Sting:

*relaxes* Almost 18. *wiggles chin stud with his tongue*

Lyssa:

*glances at chin stud, smiles* Awesome. I’m 18 too.

Sting:

*grins* I know.

Lyssa:

*smiles nervously* Yep … *looks down at her list* Okay, so on a more serious note, who is your handler?

Sting:

Dr. Jeth Albers. *rests heel of foot on Lyssa’s knee*

Serra: 

*peeks in doorway*

Lyssa:

*looks over at Serra, smiles* Hey, Serra. Wanna join us? *motions to the bed*

Serra:

*glances at Lyssa and Sting*

Sting:

*leans head back, looks at her upside down, smiles*

Serra:

*hurries into room, sits on bed, looks at her hands on her lap*

Lyssa:

*smiles at Serra* So you two work together, right?

Serra:

*nods*

Sting:

Yup.

Lyssa:

How long have you two known each other?

Sting:

Three or four years.

Lyssa:

Aw, cool. So what are you guys grafted with?

Sting:

Platypus, honey bear, and hedgehog.

Serra:

Shark and stingray.

Lyssa:

*eyes widen* Whoa. Those are some awesome combinations. What can you do that normal people can’t?

Serra:

Breathe underwa–

Sting:

Inject poison into you to cause excruciating pain that not even morphine can stop.

Lyssa:

*blinks* That’s scary. *laughs nervously*

Sting:

*chews on thumbnail* Uh-huh.

Lyssa:

*looks at his thumbnail, swallows, looks back at Serra* Did you say you could breathe underwater?

Serra:

*nods*

Lyssa:

That’s so cool. I’ve always wanted to do that. 

Serra:

*smiles, blushes*

Lyssa:

 Well, I think that’s all we have time for now. *sits up, scoots to the edge of the chair, holds hand out to Sting* Thanks so much for talking to me today. *smiles*

Sting:

*smirks* Sure. 

Serra:

*smiles*

Lyssa:

*pulls back, smiles at him then Serra* You too, Serra.

Serra:

*smiles a little bigger*
