Interview with Setsuna
Question: So, congratulations on being inducted into the Book Actors Guild.
Answer: I know, right? It’s been so exciting. Just a little while ago I was just a waitress at Denny’s with green hair and big dreams, and now I’m on the track to get my own star on the Bollywood walk of fame.
Question: Don’t you mean Hollywood?
Answer: I know what I said. Besides, you can’t correct me, you’re not part of the Guild.
Question: Is that how it works?
Answer: Oh yeah, once you’re a member you get all sorts of special treatment. You can basically ask for anything you want and you get it. Did you know Athel has a separate dressing room just for her wigs? I only have the one room still, but I do have my own personal assistant, and she’ll bring me anything I ask for.
Question: What kinds of things have you asked for?
Answer: Well, at first I asked mostly for things I wanted. Mink fur lining for the inside of my costumes, Butterfingers carved into the shape of Mount Rushmore, a tank of live lobsters should I get hungry, a private gondola ride with George Clooney. Things like that. It’s amazing what you can get in ten minutes if you scream loud enough.
Question: Sounds amazing.
Answer: Oh, it is, but the problem is, you get bored pretty quick when you get everything you ever wanted, so you come up with little games to keep things interesting.
Question: Games?
Answer: Oh yeah, I’ll call my assistant at all hours of the night with crazy requests, just to see if she can pull it off. Keeps her on her toes and frosty.
Question: Like what?
Answer: Oh, a boa constrictor, flying lessons for my pet chimpanzee, a private basketball court made out of licorice, and, of course, damage repairs for when a monkey crashed a biplane into a candy half-court.
