"You're mad." "You're right, I look ridiculous with one shoe."

 Wherein Jack talks with Adrian.

 I mention this a lot, but I like to repeat myself. And I'm your evil overlord so there is nothing you can do about it.
 I am co-authoring a book with my friend Kendra. It is called Worth of a King and it has princes, princesses, dragons, and winged horses in it. And all kinds of other things. And it is fun to write and should be fun to read and might even be done this year. And you all know you want to read it. (If you can't tell, I'm a bit high strung right now. I had trouble getting up this morning and I've been feeling lazy all morning, which has left me feeling I've forgotten some important school assignment. So I'm jumping all around going, "No! I did that one! And that one! What did I miss? Why do I have all this free time?!") But, that said. Kendra and I have been having a lot of fun with this book - at least I assume she's been having as much fun as I have. She's an author, and tormenting characters is fun for authors, and that's what we've been doing to them. Though right now I've been tormenting more than her. Though the time is coming when her character is going to get a horrible bout of it. Both of us have mentioned this book off and on on our blogs, and if we have it done this year we figured it was time all of you got a chance to meet some of the characters. So today we are both interrogating our main characters. (Her post will be HERE!!!) You should check it out, because she has a fun character. Now, without further ado, I introduce you to Adrian.
 Welcome, Adrian! Do you want a cookie or a slice of pie? I'd ask about tea but everyone I interrogate has to have tea. Um, okay. Thanks. I guess I will have a cookie. *Grabs the plate.* Oh, sorry, looks like John ate them all. You'll have to have pie.   Eh, I can't help it. I have a hungry pet. Just be glad Sammy hasn't eaten all the pie yet. How old is this pie? Is it the same one you had around when you interviewed your friend? Don't ask. Now. Why don't you tell us a little about yourself? Well, my name is Adrian. I'm a printer- *Cough* Fine. I was a printer until I found out I am the son of the dead king. I'm the crown prince and now I get to go the castle where my father's murderer is ruling and convince him I'll make a better king than he will. Convince....nice choice of word. How do you feel about being a prince? Hm. I hate politics. I'm not crazy about anything that has to do with government. My father was killed for his crown, so you can guess what someone would do to me to take it. Oh yes, and the twin sister I never knew I had is marrying the son of the man who killed our father. How do you think I feel about it? Happy!  I didn't mean it, put the sword up. This is a no weapons allowed interrogation! Well, except for my sword. Don't you have any nice questions you can ask me? Sure, if you want nice. I have two, then I will probably go back to mean ones. First - and this isn't a question so much as an order - tell us about your adopted parents. They're not my adopted parents. Maybe I'm not their blood son but they are as much my mother and father as any parents can be. Okay, okay, well, tell us about them. My father is a printer. I was supposed to take over when I finished school, but that kind of didn't work out when I found out I am a prince. My mother used to be a mid-wife when she was younger. She doesn't do much work like that anymore, not unless someone really needs her. She takes care of the sick a lot. And do you have any siblings?  You're enjoying this, aren't you? *In Rory's voice* Yeah, a bit. *Sigh* I have a brother - if you want to get technical, then he isn't my blood brother. He is the son of my...parents. Not the royal ones. I also - just found out a few days after my sixteenth birthday, nice surprise, right? - that I have a twin sister. She got to stay behind in the castle after our father was killed because she was no danger to the new king. Not like me. If I'd stayed, apparently, I'd be dead right now. Don't feel too bad, that happens to a lot of my characters. They find out they have twin sisters? No, that is Star Wars. They find out people want them dead, or will kill them if they find out they're alive. Or...well, you get the idea. Can I ask for a new author? Too late. Do you like ducklings? What? I like ducklings. Good for you.... YAY!! Does this mean we are done? Aw, we just got started! And I have more pictures of you I have to randomly put up. Is my sister having to put up with this kind of thing? No idea. Do you want more pie? You're running out of questions, aren't you? I've been trying to edit all day, and now my head hurts. So yes, I am. So, is my interrogation over with?  Yes. I guess so. I've picked on you enough, and I want to go and enjoy my tea and my book. ***  The pictures are from the TV show Legend of the Seeker. (I can't say much about it. I saw episode one and it was good, but don't watch it because I said that and find out it is terrible and throw things at me.) Kendra and I found the pictures and the two main characters look a - shockingly - a lot like Adrian and Obsidia - his sister. So we've been using them. There is probably some copyright thing, but that is why I am telling you right now, they are from that TV show and I don't really have this fellow locked up in my closet so I can take pictures when I need inspiration. None of these pictures are mine.
 Now I am leaving, because I really do have a book. "And a cup of coco, it's really lovely." Quote is from when the Doctor is with Martha and the Judoon Platoon upon the moon.
 Allons-y!
