Interview with your characters: (Or in my case, some vampires, a werewolf and Celeste)

1.Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!

So. . . who's doing the quiz?:

Some characters from my book, The Amulet of Vichalace.
Celeste (Girl with the magic amulet), Laughlan (her vampire foster father), Rivers (Celeste’s best friend and occasional werewolf) and Fletcher (A vampire who thinks he’s God’s gift to women)


1. What's your favourite food?

Celeste: Food... oh err, I like most things, chocolate, marshmallows... oh and battenburg. I love battenburg cake. Does that help?
Laughlan: I... don’t eat, but the occasional glass of wine does not go amiss.
Rivers: Chocolate digestives.
Fletcher: It used to be kebabs. Though they had the same effect on me back then as they do now. It’s not nice... I only ate them so I could get a day off work when I was alive.

2. Are you a virgin?

Celeste: I’m twenty one and I went through uni for three years.
Rivers: Your father has his fingers in his ears.
Celeste: Well, what about you?
Rivers: You didn’t answer the question.
Fletcher: Virgin’s blood is supposed to be great.
Rivers: Why don’t you keep your opinions to yourself?
Fletcher: You guys have no sense of humour.

3. What kind of movies do you watch?

Celeste: I like adventure movies, and I loved Lord of the Rings, that was great. Oh and Zombieland, I went to see that with Ashley... which was probably not the best choice, but he really enjoyed it. JUST GIVE ME A $£%&ing twinkie!
Laughlan: Celeste, language!
Celeste: Sorry, Dad.
Rivers: Indiana Jones. Any film that can make archaeology popular is fine by me.
Fletcher: Anything, so long as the vampires don’t sparkle.
Celeste: You’re afraid of the competition?
Fletcher: Yeah, I’m real scared of a fang-less vegetarian schoolboy who watches women while they sleep.
Rivers: You stand outside Celeste’s door at night.
Laughlan: You do what, Fletcher..?
Fletcher: Rivers, can we talk outside for a moment? *glares*

4. Are you married?

Celeste: Hah! No! I have a lot of other things to worry about.
Laughlan: No, I died a bachelor.
Rivers: Can we talk about something else, please?
Fletcher: Can vampires even get married? Until death do you pa…. oh wait… you’d just keep going round in circles!

5. Have you ever gotten drunk before?

Celeste: Dad, put your fingers in your ears again…
Laughlan: I know what you got up to at University, Celeste.
Celeste: Just how many agents did you send to spy on me?
Laughlan: I’m not answering that.
Rivers: Last time I got drunk was The Circle Christmas party. I had so many, I got up on stage and played guitar. I was mortified.
Fletcher: For me, it was Sinclair’s last birthday. I was on the blood and the whiskey. When they say don’t mix your drinks… that’s what they mean. I think I ended up chatting up a table leg.
Rivers: And I bet it still turned you down.

6. Do you have a celebrity crush?

Celeste: I have a thing for Robert Downey Junior. Just don’t tell Elias.
Fletcher: You like bad boys?! HELLO!
Laughlan: Celebrities?
Rivers: No. Moving on.

7. Your embarrassing moment?

Celeste: There’s been far too many.
Laughlan: The priest and the onion.
All: What?
Laughlan: Oh it was a long long time ago… I’d only been a vampire for a short time and I accidentally wandered into this church.
Fletcher: As you do…
Laughlan: Well, anyway, I ran into a priest, and well, he worked out what I was, but not having any garlic to hand, he grabbed an onion off the harvest offering and brandished it wildly at me. Of course, I didn’t want to hurt him, so I just ended up pretending that it worked… But shouting ‘Argh, the pain, the pain, it burns’ while backing away from a priest with an onion was not the highlight of my life as one of the immortal undead.
Celeste: You’ve never told me that before.
Laughlan: That’s because it’s embarrassing, Celeste.

8. Your best friends?

Celeste: Katherine and Finola. But from The Circle, probably Rivers, Ashley, Elias and Fletcher.
Laughlan: I appreciate all my staff equally.
Fletcher: Most of the women at The Circle and a few from the Slate Yard.
Celeste: That’s in your dreams, isn’t it?
Fletcher: No, in reality.
Rivers: He’s deluded.

9. Random sayings?

Celeste: “THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!” I say that a lot.
Laughlan: “No we can’t afford the helicopter/laser gun/vamp-mobile on this years Circle budget.”
Rivers: “I grow fur and fangs and growl a lot, you think I can do subtle?”
Fletcher: But I think we could really do with a vamp-mobile, sir.
Laughlan: Have some self respect, James: A VAMP mobile?!
Fletcher: The fan girls would love it… and don’t call me James. It makes me sound like I went to private school or something.

10. If you saw a shooting star right now, what would you wish for?

Celeste: For everyone to just get along… living and dead.
Laughlan: That my daughter is always happy and well.
Celeste: Aww Dad, that’s sweet.
Fletcher: Rivers would ask for a new chew toy.
Rivers: Or for someone to permanently Sellotape your mouth shut.
Fletcher: You’re just jealous because my wish… can’t be written down because it’s just that depraved. Oh yeah
Rivers: You’d just wish for a lot of women, Fletcher. Women are scared of you, they slap you then run away. What part of that sounds like fun?
Fletcher: Okay, fine, I’ll just have a candlelit hot tub, some champagne, and Cele-
Celeste: My Dad’s here, Fletcher…
Fletcher: FINE I WONT WISH FOR ANYTHING THEN!!!!

11. What is your favourite word?

Celeste: Spoon. *giggles*
Laughlan: Why would you want to know that? Err honour?
Fletcher: Squidgy.
Rivers: Rocks. Rocks all the way.

12. What song was sung to you when you were a child as you went to sleep?

Celeste: No one sang to me… apart from Sach, and that was more like AWWWWOOO AWWWOOO AWWOOO! Wolves really can’t sing.
Laughlan: I don’t even remember that far back any more.
Fletcher: I don’t do all that cute sentimental stuff.
Rivers: I agree with the vampire.
Fletcher: You do? High five!
Rivers: …no.

13. What was the best day or moment of your life?

Celeste: I know it sounds kinda strange, but it was when I found out the truth about Dad… everything finally made sense.
Laughlan: Every moment spent with Celeste is a blessing.
Rivers: Obtaining my doctorate.
Fletcher: Err, I won some money on the horses once… *looks around awkwardly*

14. How would you describe your voice?

Celeste: My voice? Errr London-like?
Laughlan: Refined.
Rivers: Educated.
Fletcher: Seductive.
Celeste: It’s not, Fletch. Really… it’s not.
Fletcher: Hello there… *winks*
Celeste: *points* Dad, he’s scaring me!

15. Who is your favourite boy/girlfriend(s)?

Celeste: Well, me and Rivers have been through a lot together, so he’s probably the closest friend I have at the moment.
Fletcher: Yeah, like when you woke up with him after the night of a full moon, and he didn’t have his clothes…
Celeste: I TOLD you… we just did some su doku together.
Fletcher: That’s what they all say.
Rivers: *growls*
Laughlan: I used to enjoy going to the theatre and the races with Edward Rathmore and his wife, and Everis, when he wasn’t being an idiot.
Celeste: You like Everis really, he was a good friend when you first came to London.
Laughlan: He annoys me, and he should stay away from you.
Celeste: Err, next question please…

17. Do you have any gifts from your girlfriends/boyfriends from your first date?

Celeste: Elias made me a carved flower for Christmas. He’s going to make me one each year we are… together. *blushes*
Fletcher: My first girlfriend gave me something I needed medicine for.
Rivers: We didn’t need to know that.
Laughlan: I still have Celeste’s first shoes. They were so tiny.
Celeste: That’s really embarrassing, Dad.
Rivers: I have a Valentines day card from 1986. There was a girl in my class called Stephanie and we held hands for almost a year.
Celeste: That’s so sweet.
Rivers: Yeah, shame about that fur allergy though. My parents house was like a death trap.

18. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

Celeste: I’d like to be a bit taller.
Laughlan: Anything? Being alive again would be nice.
Fletcher: Why change perfection?
All: *eyeball Fletcher*
Rivers: Pain when changing.
Celeste: I thought you said it didn’t hurt.
Rivers: I didn’t want to upset you.
Celeste: Aww Darren…

Just then, there’s a call on Laughlan’s mobile. It plays the theme to Ghostbusters.
Celeste: It’s the green button to accept, Dad.
Laughlan: Oh… err yes, I knew that… Oh, hello Damon. Trouble you say? We’ll be right there.

The interview ends…
