Interviewer: So Fox, It's well known that you went from being a human to a dragon.. How was the transition for that? Was it hard for you?
Fox: Well I was actually a dragon with a human spell cast on me to make me human.. but anyway.. Yeah at first it was awful. I felt like a monster.. And it didn't help that at the time, there was an evil version of myself running around..
But transitionally, it was hard. Coping with what I became and just the entire adjustment from a human to a 10 foot lizard.. That was a painful transformation too.. And, learning how to fly is such a bitch.. But in the end, I grew to love it because it felt more natural, oddly enough, and It has many more abilities. Flight, shooting bolts, extra power, claws, etc. The hardest was thinking Marie would never be able to love me after this, after I changed. But we all know how that ended out now, don't we? ::grins::Interviewer: Heh, yeah. And how long have you been married to Marie now?
Fox: around 31 years.
Interviewer: Wow.. thats an amazingly long time.. Especially for a Rhydin relationship.. Whats your secret?
Fox: Tons of new sexual positions all the time.. ::shakes his head:: Nono.. I'm kidding.. I dunno, we just really want it to work. I see so many relationships in Rhydin that are over before you even knew they started, and it's sad, really. So I guess we just put in all the effort we can to make it work.. And we've both been through hell too, so it's not like it's been without it's bumps.
Interviewer: Something else you've had for a really long time, is that FotHB Guild. Could you tell use about it? Whats it like to have it for so long? Do you ever feel hindered? Wish you could drop it? Is there a certain level of respect you expect from everyone? How do you think you've kept it alive for so long?
Fox: Whoa! whoa! One question, or at least two, at a time.. ::laughs:: Alright lets see..
About the guild- It's a light based guild that we just try to have fun in, rather than save the world and destroy evil. I do that on my own personal time..
Whats it like to have it for so long? Well It's just amazing, I guess. I've tried to pass it along to others before.. But thats always been a failure. I've pretty much given up at this point, and just accepted that Theres something about me.. that the guild needs. Maybe I just care too much to let it die. Or maybe I work extremely hard to keep things interesting (I hope).. Or maybe people just need that security of knowing "Fox is at the front".. I don't know, really. But It always falls apart when I try to step down, so I'll just hold it as long as I can. So.. in answer to the question.. It's just really weird, because I'm not 100% sure WHAT I'm doing that everyone else lacks.. But the members have shown that whatever it is.. they can't live without it.
Do I ever feel hindered? Honestly.. yes, I do. It's unfortunate, but when you bust your ass to make events or cool fun things for people to do.. and NO ONE does them because they're just lazy.. You kind of go "well what the hell.. what do you people WANT?" It's a hindrance because it feels like you can't win. Because they won't participate, and all you can do then, is kick people out, which I hate doing.
I have tried to drop it a few times, So yeah I kind of wish I could drop it.. But I do enjoy my job, don't get me wrong. I'd just enjoy it more if people weren't lazy and killed the activities and newsletter sections, because of it.
As far as respect goes, I only want people to remember in the back of their mind that yeah.. I have worked on this guild forever, and I still work on it. I'm not low level trash that they can kick around. At the same time though, I try not to consider myself above people. I don;t like formalities, and I'd rather just be one of the other members that just happens to be the boss, but isn't treated that way. Sometimes unfortunately I have to exercise my "power" and play the big bad boss.. But I don't like doing that. I'd rather be on the same level as everyone else.
And how have I kept it alive.. Well I guess, dedication and hard work. I mean, when it was dumped on me.. (And it WAS dumped on me, literally).. Then I had to learn how to run everything myself. How to work the roster, how to proctor (thats right, I didn't even know how to do that!), calculate exps, and the whole bit.I had to teach myself all of that, and I did it and then went right to work on rebuilding the guild. It was totally collapsed and all I really had was blueprints, there was no structure anymore. So I worked myself to the bone to get all the knowledge I needed, and then worked hard to rebuild and then expand. Adding the newsletter and expanding on that.. STILL expanding on that, actually. And adding events, you know, just things to make the members interested. And I dragged this guild out of the grave.. So I just really don't want to see it die again. I guess it's that drive, thats the reason it's stayed alive so long, in my keeping anyway. It's also stayed alive thanks to the determination of some of the members. After all, the guild wouldn't be a guild if it was just me, now would it?
Interviewer: Heh, Certainly not.
Lets move away from the professional aspects now.. How about, what is it that you live for?
Fox: Wow, what do I live for? Hmm.. Well I would have to say, friends and family. I do it all for them. For Marie, my kids, and my friends. I didn't have much of a family growing up, since my mother was taken from me and my father shot.. ::narrowing his eyes:: but now I have what I always dreamed of. A woman who loves me.. A family.. and great friends.. I'd just be nothing without them..
My Best quote is: "A Life without friends, is no life worth living". And I believe that wholeheartedly.
Interviewer: And what is it that you hate?
Fox: I hate alot of things... But I'm not a negative person! Honest! ::laughs::
Alright lets see.. I hate laziness, alcohol (drunks and everything), People who think they're better than you and everyone else, People who kill for fun, racial discrimination, and discrimination in general, stupid people... And I'll end with.. Being covered in paint.. Do you know how much of a BITCH that is to get out of scales?
Interviewer: Luckily.. I haven't ever had to deal with it..
Fox: God.. So much steel wool.. Soap just doesn't cut it.. It's just.. bad.. ::shakes his head::
Interviewer: So.. those Tutus... I heard thats some secret fetish...
Fox: ::snorts:: Yeah I bet you did..
Interviewer: and you deny it?
Fox: YES.. For the BILLIONTH TIME. I didn't START that shit.. It just.. You know, I don't even remember who was the first to do it to me, but you'll notice that I RARELY am the one putting it on myself. Usually it's Noah or Marie or some other joker. It's not a fetish.. It's people getting laughs at my expense.. The only reason they all think it's a fetish is because I enjoy SCARING them when they do that to me.. I figure if I can scare people by pretending I enjoy it, maybe they won't do it anymore.
Interviewer: But it's all pretend..
Fox: ::growling a bit:: YES.. pre-tend..
Interviewer: And what about the BotS? Is there a reason you always seem to lose the most? being turned female the most out of anyone else...
Fox: Where do you get this stuff?
Interviewer: Hey! The people want to know!
Fox: And being married to Marie for 31 years isn't ENOUGH proof that I'm NOT gay or Transsexual or whatever?
Interviewer: Could be a cover up..
Fox: You know.. I could end this interview really quick.. ::sparking his claws together::
Interviewer: ::coughs and rubs his neck:: er.. uh lets move on..
Fox: Right...
Interviewer: This is.. Kind of on the same subject.. but it's different.. I promise..
Fox: .......
Interviewer: You've been female probably more times than you can remember.. With the Felicia Incident.. and then Foxy later on.. what is that like.. really? And has it affected you now?
Fox: Hoo boy.. Well, okay.. what was it like.. Well Felicia.. It was like.. slowly being taken over by a woman.. like, an invasion of the mind and body.. If you don't know, that spell fucked up and turned me slowly into a woman.. over the course of a week.. It's a pretty big mind fuck and I REALLY don't recommend it to anyone.. All the sudden you get these waves of feminine urges.. Maybe you're even attracted to other guys.. It was Just.. it was a mind fuck.. Plus, growing breasts and the *ahem* other loss.. is kind of.. scary.
Foxy wasn't as bad.. but in a sense.. it was worse.. Because she would run rampant and screw the whole city.. and then I would REMEMBER IT.. This was ESPECIALLY disturbing when she would nail some of my friends.. Like Dev.. ::shudders::
How it's affected me.. I don't know.. It's messed me up more? ::laughs:: No really.. I guess I just have a better appreciation for the emotional roller coaster women are on.. but thats a stretch.. I guess the only thing I can say for SURE, thats been affected.. is my mind. Its scarred for life!
Interviewer: What was it like for you when Noah latched on to Felicia? even had a kid with him? Wasn't it weird since she was.. YOU?
Fox: I used to get this question alot, and it WAS weird, but I could get over it. What most people don't understand is that Felicia and Foxy are NOT me. They think of their own and they are their own person. They just kind of.. Manifest FROM me. So when Felicia got together with Noah, I was just really happy for them. It's just too bad it didn't work out.
Interviewer: Well lets shift gears again. It's a well known fact that you're constantly on the forefront of "saving the world" or fighting evil and all that. In fact, You battle with DRF and the many other forces around Rhydin. How do you do that? How do you find time? And do you ever wish, or have the thought cross your mind, to quit?
Fox: Well.. the thing is with DRF is that it's kind of like.. an alternate world. It's Rhydin.. but the muns in charge ::points up:: decided that it would be too confusing to keep things grounded in the normal Rhydin realm.. So they split it off.. It's kind of like a second job. Or actually, a THIRD as the case may be! ::laughs::
But, aside from DRF, yeah the whole saving the world thing is tiresome. It's not as bad as it used to be.. For awhile, we would all save it.. and maybe a WEEK later, we'd have to do that again. I mean seriously, why does everyone want to DESTROY the world ANYWAY? Whats the point? "hey lets kill everyone else AND myself!" ::sighs:: people like that, really need lives.. Or serious counseling.. Unfortunately, by the time we get to them, all they're gonna get is death.
As far as finding time.. Well you just have to make time. Sometimes I have to travel away for a few weeks.. other times it can be over in a day. It all depends. And how do I do it? Well personally, I do it by practicing often and refining my skills. Both combative and defensive. But really, I wouldn't be able to do it if it wasn't for all my friends who help too.
Interviewer: And who are those friends?
Fox: Well the people who have helped me in the past.. are Noah, Night, Kryn, Alex, Soul, Hikari, Marie.. though she doesn't like doing that anymore, Doujou.. Tash... And I think.. thats about it.. But thats the common group. There are people who have helped off and on, not part of "the group". I Just can't remember them all! ::laughs::
Interviewer: What do you think was the worst.. Scenario you had to face, dealing with saving the world or destroying evil?
Fox: The worst..? eh.. I don't know.. There was one time where EVERYONE was going evil.. Myself included.. That sucked.. It was pretty intense.. Lasted about 2 months, too. But really, I think the time when Night's master came back and gave us all hell, was the worst. Detanis.. God that guy was such a bastard.. and he was all about manipulating people. He would rarely show himself and if he DID, he would always escape before I, or anyone else, could finish him off. And He turned Night against us. She killed a ton of us off.. It was insane.. I was finally able to take her down by making my attacks all unpredictable. But she escaped. I heard Tash finished her off.. but I never saw it.
Interviewer: Well, I'll ask one more question, and then we'll set it up for others to write in.
Fox: Okay.
Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in the future? Any plans? Retirement maybe? Or do you think you'll still be doing the same thing as you are now?
Fox: Well I'm not sure what you consider.. "the future", but eventually I'll have to retire. That won't be for a loooooooong time though. I'm only I think.. 8 or 9 in dragon years.. I don't remember the conversion factor.. But yeah, I mean, this is what I do. I have the power to stop bad things from happening.. So I feel it's my job to do that.. It would be nice if people would stop killing eachother and destroying to wipe out the realm, but we all know that aint gonna happen. So I intend to be there as long as I can, fighting it. Though I of course do need my vacations once in awhile.. ::snickers::
As far as the guild goes.. well I guess I'll hold that as long as I can, until I really can;t do it anymore. When that time comes, I will have to hand it down again, and just HOPE it doesn't fall. But I can't be the commander forever. And don't want to be, really. It can be a really stressful job sometimes.. but when it;s all said and done, being appreciate is what keeps me going. You know, people have actually cried when I stepped down before.. I don't wanna make anyone cry.. But someday, I'm just going to have to step away, it's a fact of life. Nothing lasts forever.
One thing I've always wanted to do.. is travel through outer space, see some of the other worlds out there. So maybe, when I retire, I'll think about doing that..
Interviewer: Thank you Fox, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk with us.
Fox: Heh.. busy.. right.. But no problem.
Interviewer: Now lets open up the floor for questions from the viewers!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jester: Well Fox, I think the question that everyone wants an answer to now is, "Who do I email this week's riddle to? Whens the newsletter coming out? How long is it gonna be until-" ~suddenly dies in mid sentance, and corpse is suddenly charred.
Fox: ::Wipes blood off his sword and clears his throat as he waves smoke away from his mouth:: Right.. Next question?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hikari: So how do you get the tutus to fit so well? Can they really stretch that much? What size are they anyway? Do they come in pink, or is there a variety of colors you like to choose from? Is pink your favorite, if so? Has anyone ever made you dance in one of those, before? How many times have you worn one? ...........I think that's enough questions. ::backs away::
Fox: ............................
Alright... They fit because of magic.. People magically create them.. stretch? hell if I know. Size? HELL if I know. They come in all colors but I don't PICK ANY OF THEM.. Pink is NOT MY FAVORITE.. i have NO FAVORITE.. Yes people have had me dance in them before.. Or I might do it to scare people. Like that Tutu parade.. remember that Hikari? ::throws one at him:: And Don't even ask me how many times I've worn one.. the number is impossible to remember..
You seem pretty obsessed with finding out everything there is to know about tutus Hikari.. Maybe you're looking into changing your wardrobe? ::smirks::
Hikari: It's hard not to change the wardrobe after you make it look like tutus are the 'in' thing of today, along with backwards baseball caps, and baggy jeans! =D Think I'll just put on my lavender tutu, today, and strut around the place like I own it.
Fox: ::gives a thumbs up:: I'm so glad to see you've finally come out of the closet... Just try not scare away newcomers, kay?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noah: What about YOUR kids? Hmm? Chase and Kiara? How old are they? What do they look like? What are they like? How do they act? What do they seem to enjoy? Why am I asking the same question over and over again? What is this.. "mun".. more at eleven..
Fox: Wow.. a REAL question this time? Alright here we go..
Chase and Kiara are twins, so right now they're both 26.
What do they look like? Well Chase is a half dragon-human mix. He has the muzzle of a dragon and the ears, on the face of a human. Along with dragon hands and legs, and a tail, but no wings. Everything else is human. It's a very unique look.. But I like that, and i hope he does too. I mean, who wants to be ordinary?
Kiara is actually full human, with a streak of blue in her hair. That streak of blue isn't dye, but is actually her dragon side showing through. I'm not sure if she has a dragon form.. but she doesn't need it. Kiara isn't a fighter.
What are they like? Well Chase is alot like me, but not as die hard a fighter. He's actually rather quiet, but will intervene when someone is doing something very wrong. Like mugging someone.. He's a good kid, though. Since he really likes traveling, right now thats what he was doing, when I last talked to him. Just wandering the realm, and seeing the sights.
Kiara is a shy girl too.. kind of, She's outgoing when she gets to know someone. But Kiara hates fighting. She takes after Marie ::laughs:: Marie corrupted her into disliking meat and such.. So since she doesn't even like killing animals, she can't kill people. Last I heard from her, Kiara actually got a place down in Rhydin City.. which is a pretty lousy place.. if you ask me.. But I guess she found a good neighborhood.
Chase seems to enjoy helping others, traveling, like I said, sparring and hunting, actually. Hunting isn't that much of a surprise, the dragon blood in him is alot stronger than Kiara.
But Kiara is much more non violent, as I said. She enjoys the simpler thing. Just talking walks, The city life, actually, she enjoys. So I suppose I would also have to say she likes crowds, being imersed in with people. Which is funny, because she's not that social, but maybe she's changed since I last talked with her?
Why are you asking the same question? I think thats easy. You're an idiot..
What is a mun? Well.. It's kind of like.. Lets call it.. a director.. the person who runs everything from behind the scenes.. For the most part, They're not mentioned.. but when I'm split into two different worlds.. I mean.. what can I say about it? Oh yeah.. I'm just that damn good.. I fight in two different places at once..
No.. it's the muns..
Phew.. That was a truckload of questions..
::walks off for a minute to get a coke and wet his mouth:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marie: What exactly is so wrong with not eating meat!?
Fox: ::snickers:: I was kidding.. BUT! It's cool to not eat meat if thats not your thing, however.. if you don't eat it for the ethical issues.. thats stupid. Like it or not, we are animals (some more than others). And we need to kill to survive. Law of nature, kill or be killed.
Plus, it aint exactly very healthy not to eat meat.. unless you were a made plant eater.. but being human, your body requires the nutrients and vitamins from meat. Though you can get that froms pills and such.. thats a cop out!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aaron: Question for Fox: Uh....do i..know you?
Fox: ::blinks:: er.. I don't think so... I don't recall ever meeting any "Aaron".. so.. I'm gonna say.. No..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vdin:: hi ,its valintines day and. umm.. will you be my valintine?
Fox: Well.. I don't know you.. but I'm Marie's Valentine.. so, nope.. sorry!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marie: Who the hell is Vdin and why are they asking you to be their valentine!?
Fox: I don't know! They just found thier way in here I guess! Didn't you see what I said? "Well.. I don;t know you.."
Maybe they're asking me to be their valentine because I'm so darn loveable. ::sticks his tongue out::
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dev: Did you get a kick out of killing me? O.o
Fox: Huh..? What? When? ::tries to think about when this was, but can't really recall:: Uh.. I'm gonna go with.. No?
Dev: Bah.. you know when. Yea.. so.. tell everybody how it felt when we did our wonderful DM-like spars and you lost.
Fox: Ohhhhhhhhhhh..... THAT time. Yeah, I remember now.
In that case, I suppose I did get a kick out of killing you, hough it wasn't really intented that way.
As for how it felt? Well that seems like a stupid question. It was PAINFUL. How about that?
Dev: So you admit that killing others if fun.. didn't you just state you hate those people?
Fox: Jeez Dev.. enough questions? Okay, so anyway, I hate those people, yes. But, that situation was when we were both venting some rage. And as we all should know, venting rage is usually enjoyable. Thats the point! To vent! So yeah, that should answer that one.
Dev: How old am I?
Fox: What the... How is this an interview question? Anyway.. You're 25.
Dev: How many fingers am I holding up?
Fox: Well.. since this is TEXT or VOICED OVER.. depending on how you want to look at it.. I CANT TELL! Moron..
Dev: So you admit to knowing very little.. interesting..
Fox: WHAT?! No! I said I didn't know how many fingers you were holding up! And I CAN'T unless I can SEE you, so what the hell does that have to do with anything?
Better yet.. WHY are you still asking me questions..?
Dev: Bored.
Fox: Right.. well.. maybe you should consider finding something else to do..
Sheesh..
Dev: What is it with you and monkeys?
Fox: ....
What..?
Dev: How do you feel about your mun?
Fox: Ah.. finally.. a good question..
Alright. Well, I think they guy is alright. I mean, he draws pictures of me on a regular basis, made aniamted shorts of me.. my own comic.. I mean, realistically, he treats me right most of the time, so I really can;t complain. About the only thing I CAN complain about, is what he messd up hiow i tlk cuz he can;t typw woth shit.
.....
God....
Excuse me for just a minute...
::walks over and slaps his mun around a few times:: TAKE A FUCKING TYPING CLASS FOR GODS SAKES!!!
::and walks back over:: ahem.. so anyway.. Besides him being a moron with the kryboard I think..
...
KEYBOARD..
Moron with the K-E-Y-B-O-A-R-D..
I think he's pretty cool..
Dev: How do you feel about me?
Fox: This is a hard question because you're different than you used to be. But, to answer it in present tense.. I think you're a nice guy. Somewhat antisocial, with a few issues. Mostly because of what was done to you, and where you're at now. Some of your past tendencies bleeding through.. and whatnot. But all and all you honestly remind me alot of myself. As far as how you're messed up, anger issues.. and also how you used to be a GC.. I gotta say, I really loved being able to rant about the member issues and all the common GC bullshit, with another GC. Ranting about that with the members is alright.. but it was better to do it with someone who knew EXACTLY what I meant. Anyway, this is getting off track.. So I just think you're a cool person, who has a few isues, but is always fun to hang around with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marie: When the hell do I get my interview!? I want my 15 minutes damnit!!
Fox: ::blinks:: uhh.. well.. come around for a few hours and not 10 minutes at a time, and maybe you can get one! Sheesh...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lighn: Do you know your REAL name? as in the one your Dragon parents gave you.
Fox: Yes.. I do.. are you ready for this? It's.......
*long dramatic pause*
Fox! Thats what my dragon name is. My brother is Rax, and my father is Kex. Do you see the pattern with the names?
"Fox" stuck with me because my human parents were forced to take me and so, they also got my name. I guess they could have changed it if they wanted.. but for whatever reason. they didn't. So my human AND dragon name, is "Fox".
Question for you though.. Who ARE you?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noah: I'm back.. and yes! I have a question! *Ahem*...
Fox: ....?
Noah: ::Smudges that out and kicks his own mun:: Ah-heh.. whoops.. now, shall we continue.. *AHEM*.. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood while being carried on Dev's back? I'll let you think on that. Don't hurt yourself now...
Fox: Ah.. hmm.. Well.. :;thinks about it:: I'm gonna have to go with.. not very much. Because Dev would either kill.. or throw the woodchuck off him.. in about 3 seconds..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alex: Hey Fox, we all know what you think about Dev, but what do you think about me? Oh yeah, and what Marie asked, when do I get an interview? Whatever happened to that section in the NL where Cianan interviewed people?
Fox: ::laughs:: everyone wants to know what i think about them now.. Okay Alex.. I think you're a bit too antisocial and wrapped up in your castle, for your own good. You should get out more! I think you're also a bit too uptight, but, lately, you seem to have improved on that. Not all negative though, I think, when you want to be, you can be a good friend.
As for your interview.. Marie gets one because she's related to me. No one else does because.. well.. they aren't related to me! Sorry man, but i'm not the one running this show ::points up::.
And that Cianan section.. HA! That was shut down because it was a HORRIBLE section. Yes, we take one pissed off drow, and have him piss off everyone else.. Lovely.. No, that was gone quickly because who the hell would want to get interviews like that?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cianan: Aren't I the greatest friend you've EVER had, you sparkilin' soon-to-be set o' shoes!
Fox: ::in the most sarcastic tone ever:: Oh yeah! of course! definitely! Why, I love the consistant nasty remarks, insults, nagative attitude towards the world, and violent actions towards everyone. It just brightens my day when I have to tell you to shut the hell up all the time, and stop shooting at people. And the constant comments about killing me and making me into shoes or some other form of clothing? Fantastic! Really, everything I could ask from a friend, and yet so so so many things I would never ask for.
It's touching.. Really..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cianan: So.. you'll lend me money then?
Fox: Mmmm.. No.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rowan: Hey, Fox, since you're my adopted Daddy do *I* get an interview? ::smiles innocently to him::
Fox: Umm.. I'll add you to the list.. Under Marie.. and Alex.. and everyone ELSE who wants a spotlight! Sheesh..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zidane: While I condone the use of Dragon;
Fox: ...? Use of Dragon? dragons have a.. "use"..?
Zidane: ::Slaps his mun:: *Ahem* While I do condone the use of Dragon's in the making of clothing...can I borrow about.....50 scales for braclets and necklaces? Could sell 'em to gullible people for insanely high prices! We'd make a fortune!
Fox: Oh! I see.. Hmm.. you mean "take" because I wouldn't expect them back.. And I guess.. ::shrugs:: I'm not gonna rip some off and give them.. I'll just keep a pile of my sheddings and hand you those. Cool? But uh, dragons are pretty popular, I don't think you'll be able to sell them for much.. if at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3/7/04
Marie: Are you still checking this? If so..I'm hungry. Feed me!
Fox: Of course I am! But what the hell kind of a question is THAT? See.. see what I just did? I answered your "question" with an ACTUAL question. Thats pathetic..
Marie: So where's my food?!
Fox: What the hell do you WANT?
Marie: Food..
Fox: Well, aren't WE specific? Fine! ::throws her some lettuce:: Enjoy!
Marie: That's not very nice! I'm not a freaking rabbit. I like dressing on my salad..DUH..
Fox: Pff.. picky picky.. Just eat your delicacy of fine leaves, and don't complain!
